Mocha, you did an awesome job! Love the colors...it's like a
flaming Medusa. I can't believe you managed to do all that on
your own head. My arms hurt just thinking about it. =)
Damn, Mocha. My arms and neck kill me just putting in a headful of wefts...I'm such a baby! Your hair look magnificent. I'm so jelous. Wish I had a job I could pull that off at You look great.

The layering comes from the fact that I cut the PH in half before
installing it. At the bottom I only off set it from center just
slightly. As i went higher I needed to offset it more or my
natural hair would have stuck out the bottom. A couple individual
chunks stuck out too long here and there. I snipping those and
thinned out the ends as I noticed them.
thanks to all about the colors. But I totally stole the idea for
fire hair. I've been wanting it for a while. there's a pic
on Quinn's page in the plastic section. Heaven. anyhow I
ordered this hair in late October and have been patiently waiting for
summer ever since.
I'm planning on leaving it 'til early August. I have a wedding to
go to on the 30th of July and a conference the 10-17th of August.
I could get away with this hair at the conference(Since I got screwed
with a poster rather than a talk...grumble still bitter) but had
planned on some not quite as standout shocking hair at roughly that
time anyhow so it's probably best to change it.
elvira. PM me; we should have breakfast or something before my appt tuesday anyhow.
I know how to get even sections of natural (though on your own head is
entirely different). But what I'm still strugglilng with is even
sections of fake hair. With pretips, you can hold each one up to
a standard at several different stages. here, I laid out maybe
twenty chunks at a time and would have no idea which one would be the
biggest... I purposely did smaller near my face when i though of
it. That worked aside from the having to remember part. But
even medium/large sections are a total enigma.

I cant believe you did this yourself.Great job mocha.I tried heat seals but they didnt look anything like yours.Dont be suprised when everyone is asking you to their hair too
Which is why the sectioning isn't perfect. My husband helps some
but he doesn't have the same standards i do. And he was getting
frustrated towards the end.
I spent about 8 hours on it last weekend and got to about an inch over
my ears. Wore it around like an undercolor til thursday
night. another 6 hours between then and this morning? Slow
going for sure. I'm not positive that's right cause arms get
tired and you take a break or you get caught up in the mind numbing TV
that's there to keep you distracted from the soreness in your arms...
What's really finny is I planned on pinchbraiding it. But I got
upholtery thread int he right colors and couldn't keep from breaking
it. And I didn't want to use dark brown weave thread. So I
figured WTF and tried heat sealing it. Tada!
