Amanda THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!

Well that gives me some inspiration!  My hair is about the same length as hers, but more on the wavy/curly side.  Now that I've seen shrinkies actually done on afro hair, I think I might go ahead and put my own to the test!!!! 

So far I've only done sew in tracks (my sister does them) and glue in (myself) which I don't like.  Anyone in SoCal want to take on the channenge???  =)

Amanda that looks soo good!  I'm curious how the shrinkies will hold up on afro hair, has she had shrinkes before? & OMG that's a lot of hair!  Your work is so inspiring!  Thanks for sharing!

Kalika - god yes, I kept thinking, oh my god, I'm never going to be able to do this, how the hell am I going to cover her hair, but because her hair was so thick we were able to work right up to the parting.xxx

Gawd, she's gorgeous, Amanda. I wonder how the weight adjustment to having that  much extra hair is? (I figured you had just put silky underneath to help with tangling? lol what do I know.) Awesome job, though.

oh I like a lot!

I have never done extensions on someone with kinky hair, do you think the texture/thickness made it more of a challenge compared to caucasian hair?

Samantha, her hair was very strong and we used shrinkies xx

Leia - the reason I used Yaki and silky straight is because I ordered the yaki from ebonyline from the USA and only ordered two packs.  I ran out as I hadn't ordered enough so I moved some of the yaki rows up and put the colour 1 silky straight underneath from the UK LOL xx

thanks guys xx

Amanda, is there a reason you used both silky and yaky hair?  Does that make it more manageable?

It looks good and very thick.  And that young lady has a great smile.  =)

Great job girl That is a lot of hair ! I had a cliant for many tears who wore 4 bags in her head. Wait till you have to take down and install. We did it in two days.

You might want to watermark those, I can already see someone trying to pass it off as their own work , or even worse ...ebay!  lol :D
