synth, summer and plastikhaar questions!

it just seems silly since I have curly hair, lol.  I am pretty good with a flat iron, so I'm sure I can do it... just seems silly to invest in a curling iron when all I have to do to get curly hair is shower! I've had friends do some great big barrel curls on me before, I do love them, my hair holds styles incredibly well - so I may have to invest in one since I'm edging towards wavy- extensions now.... darn addiction!

Oh right I remember seeing that. How did they hold up?

Have you gotten PH in wefts before? I can't seem to find a good picture to judge how big they are.

 I remember reading about those - they were beautiful, but I'm not quite sure if I'd be able to do something like that myself?

I've heard great things about the thermo but the main reason when I wear HH I go for FR or some other curly texture is because it matches my own fairly well... I hate using a curling iron! lol... Guess its cos I never really needed to!

you could also try thermofibre synthetics which you can get curly or straight - and they hold the curl you put in them through a few washes.

I think I'm going to go synth this summer because I get the feeling my hair is going to go through a lot of wear and tear. So ofcourse, I have a few questions!

Right now I'm looking at Plastikhaar for two reasons - they have variously curl sizes to choose from (and with natural curly hair, I don't want have to curl the synth on a daily basis in order to match my own hair, seeing as if my hair is curly, it's probably because I want to be lazy that day!) and a wide wide varity of reds.
Are there any other synth types that start with a curl and hold them? Similiar to the 28mm of plastikhaar?

Second, can you get mutiple installs out of plastikhaar or synth?

And third which would make more sense overall - buying each color I want in bulk and making my own wefts (which I have not yet tried and I admit totally scares me!) or doing a custom weft from plastikhaar?

Far too many questions all wrapped in one post but I'm trying to get this ball rolling on summer! (even if Michigan has decided to hate me and bring back the snow..)

TIA!
