The Powerlon actually can get curled very tight like a ringlet. Make sure the hair is damp and the curling iron hot. The fiber should steam while in the iron. Let the curl fall in your hand and allow to cool without stretching it out.


Thanks for the tip AMM, I'll have to give that a try! Smile

FinaFina, I tried curling the powerlon, I could not.
I did have the wavy texture instead of the straight.
It always just became wavy (as shown) again after washing and brushing.
I did try curling it once to make it more curly, it didnt work, but then again, I have no idea how to do it, I used hair spray and an iron. (while it was slightly wet...)

I had no idea she can special order the powerlon?
Thats awesome! Smile

Hey Poose,
 
How easy/difficult is it to curl the Powerlon? I love the curl you have in it!!
 
I emailed Sara (PlastikHaar) about getting powerlon in natural colors. Minimum order is 250g per color. That's not *that much* hair (about 9 oz.).
 
I really really want to find a long thermofiber hair to use for pinchbraiding. I just have *such* bad luck with regular PlastikHaar getting fried!

Let us know how it's working for you!!  Thanks.

Thanks, I actually just bought 5 bags of the non-UV WHITE powerlon!
I am going to be doing some cosplay in April, and need white hair down to my knees...I post pics after the convention! Smile

It's way lighter and dries much faster!   BTW,  we have nearly the same colors - except I don't have any green in my hair.

Gosh, I looooooooove Plastikhaar and the colors on this install are breathtaking. WTG Poose (whose avetar makes me smile). The 50mm is my absolute favorite. What length are you wearing this? Also, I see a watermark on the photo. Is that nucleardolli.com?

Sara, you there? More Powerlon! More natural colors! On wefts! Please! :)

Also, there's a North America Shop open. Let's support it!

Yay Poose!

I will def. keep all of you posted!
I am looking forward to seeing how it holds up considering I want to use it for my cosplay in which I'll need white hair down to my knees!
Yeah I have had other synthetic hair, for the record I HATE Wawa, and PlastikHaar I really like but too much of it at once tends to tangle on me, and I had whatever hair Boogiemama used back in 2005, Dome I think? Whatever it was it was great.
But this Powerlon isn't silky, but it doesnt tangle so far.
Its really nice.
 I'll keep you posted
