I usually get 4 weeks.  I could probably wear it for longer, but I only take mine out because the tape and glue start to lift. I find I can fix the fried ends issue by spraying them with downy (lavendar scent) or velvasil and flat ironing them out. It works perfectly to restore them to their former glory.

hey in all my experences with all thermo  i find 6 weeks is the max. after that the ends are too fried.
and it gets matter so easy.
you have to coat it with loads of serum and it ends up taking ontheat unnautrual babrie hair shine.

Ive been wearing thermo (not elite, evantra, and dena cali) for the last few months.  I get around 6 weeks out of each install and by the end of the 6 weeks its looking pretty ratty and knots up a bit, curling/straightening with water helps but as it gets worn i have to straighten/tong it every other day and it goes frizzy again straight away.
 
im on week 5 or 6 at the moment and my hair is yuk....

Thanks for the reply Jeepgirl- I've worn it for about 2 weeks so far and it still looks good. I finally got the knack of curling it- but I had to straighten the ends in between curlings to make them smooth again, but the curls last for days so its worth it.

I wore this hair for almost a month...but it was fried on the ends after me trying to curl it without much success......and when I did get it to curl it looked kinda crappy.......my fault I'm sure.
I think if you wear this hair straight and don't put heat to it.....I'm sure it would look nice longer than mine did. I wish it worked for me because it comes in wonderful colors.
Thanks,
JeepGirl

Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great!

Ok. I finally installed the batch of elite themo I bought a while back. The color is PERFECT! I've worn it for about 6 days and so far  it's great. What is the longest wear experience out there? Thanks in advance for the responseWink
