I tried out the Elite Thermo and really liked it. It was my firt time using Synth.
Due to my own fault it did not last but two weeks- but I had roughly brushed it once when it was wet- and it kinda snapped some of the ends. They never recovered- being as it is fiber and once damaged it does not have any ability ot be moisturized or repaired.
But if I had not done that, I think it would have lasted much longer. It was blatenet mistreatment on my part- I know better. Shame on me.Pinch
The colors are gorgeous and it felt, for the most part, just like Human hair. And once you get the knack of culing it, it is super to have the curls last so well for so long.

Well I can't wait to use this stuff.  I'm installing my first client with it on Tuesday and then my second on Wednesday he he I'll post pictures.  I'm just so gutted I couldn't do my own but I'm sure Amm will get more colours in eventually when the supplier gives out to her demands lol x

Oh, I'll bet we all have this problem - so many hair extension supplies in our midst!  I know now I'll only ever use the new Elite Thermofiber and my usual Bohyme Gold, so decided after this install to clean thru and throw out any other stuff!  Just thought I'd share the moment with you . . . Clean%20up%20the%20inventory

Sorry - I posted somewhere else but better put here, I used AMM's Elite Thermofibre 18" in color #5 and blend #5/9.  I used 4 rows in the pic above with 3 wefts per row.  Each row had 2 of the #5 and one of the blended 5/9.  Next time I'll get a brown with red blend to better match my own.  I didn't like the SIZZLE method using the hot curling iron to curl it as I worried about my own getting all that heat.  I had seen Sherrie's post on how she had used hot curlers and that worked very well for me.  The curl is softer, easier for me to manage during the day and lasts until the next wash.  There is still some body left after the next shampoo, but I prefer to recurl.  My synth ends tend to get dry into the 3rd day between shampoos, but behave again when I rewash. Just wish could get longer lengths of wefts!!!

Ok Chloe, your noggin or mine this time?  I'm liking the thermo, no not liking it,  no I mean now I am.  You can't beat the way it holds curl, maybe I'll get some of that hospital shampoo from grandpa next time hes admitted and then I won't have to shampoo as often. They're saying it makes a difference.  Can you get into the nurses lounge while I divert attention? I've got to make this stuff work it's just too convenient.!!!  Guess I could just make it easy and order off ebay.  Your hair could use a little sumpthin while we're working, haven't put my finger on what yet.

I second the color dillema of the 10/16/27 blend. I bought two packs and put it all in yesterday, and colored my own hair as close as I could get it (even with highlights) and it just doesn't blend. I really, really wanted to like it because it's so much cheaper and lower maintenence...but I just can't wear it. It's too obvious. My unobservant boyfriend even noticed, *wince*.
 
Someone needs to invest dyable thermofiber, next. On the plus side, the texture and feel were great. WAY better than WaWa, and it feels real!

I'm absolutely gutted.  I bought the 10/16/27 with some 613 thinking that if I blended the two together it would match my hair but the blonde is just too light it doesn't match at all so I'm trying it out on a client.  I've just installed my regular bohyme.  I'm well disappointed, but I'll be sure to post pictures of my client when I do hers x

i'm in the middle of making some clips, and the one's from shrinkies.net are rocking my socks.  they're small and hold incredibly well and comfortably on my slippery fine hair

Ok Meta:
 
You were right about the synthetic, its not wearing well for me in the long haul.  What kind of clips are you wearing now?  I'm thinking I might try your route next.  Char
