I can't believe I missed this thread! I had friends in from New Zealand that week so I was MIA on the board. Anywho, I know the question was answered but I'm haircandy.net and If you have any questions about products on my site I'd love to answer them for you. All of the natural colors I use are Bohyme and the Funky colors I get in are a Remi blend I believe. If there's ever anything you need or any products you'd like to see featured on HairCandy.net please email me at Kristin@HairCandy.net
If you want a tighter curl pattern than the 28mm from PH its a special order. Which I am sure at this point I will need. I want my curl after washings to be at least 28mm. anywhoooo...it was mentioned in another thread that you have to order 5 bags per color of a special order curl pattern. Ive sent an email off to Sara asking about that, cause I want to order the tighter curl but I want at least 3 colors for blending and I certainly dont want to order 15 bags!
One other thing: I know youve had bad experiences with synth in the past. I don't know which brands you've used, but PlastikHaar has a lot of different curly textures to choose from. Here are the patterns: http://www.plastikhaar.ch/bilder/curls.jpg Based on the experiments some of the members here have done, the key seems to be ordering a pattern that's 1 to 2 times curlier than you actually need; when you wash it, it will relax to the desired texture. Anyway, at $13 a bag, it's a lot less of a risk to take than with any of the human hair brands, and Sara (who owns the shop), is always sending out samples, so that may be another possibility. :)
Welcome! Getting a good curl that lasts and doesn't frizz is tricky. After what a few of our members have gone through recently, I wouldn't recommend Bliss at all. Nature Girl has gotten some good feedback, as well as some bad feedback, but it may be an option if you can lift the hair up to your level of blonde (I believe it's all dark brown to black when you get it).
Ideally, it'd be great if you could order samples from three companies (say, Glamourhair, Ebonyline, and NG), then wash them and, in the case of NG, bleach them to your color, and see which performs best, but I don't know what kind of time you have.
Hi everyone, I've been reading your advice and opinions as much as possible for a week now and want to thank you all. So here's my story. IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF EXTENSIONS. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A NEW CAR BY NOW :-) My first 2 were synthetic. I have blonde curly hair. Parts are curly like a soft spiral curl and other parts are just soft curly. It looks like a lot of hair but it's very fine.The synthetics became too straight after a few weeks of washing. Heat really affects them and I was tired of washing my hair with cold water. I then became a slave to hot rollers so they can match my real hair.I was travelling in Spain and half of them feel out. They were put in with the Keratin and braided as well. Maybe it was the water in Spain? Frantically, I searched for a salon but not a curly extension in sight. I finally found an African extension shop and had an African woman put new ones in. She did an incredible technique only using the stretch thread...no glue and it's amazing how strong it is. It's now about a month and still strong. The only problem is the extensions are not a good quality at all. THEY BECAME FRIZZY AND EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE VERY CURLY THERE WAS NEVER A CURL ON THE BOTTOM. THE GOOD THING IS THEY'RE NATURAL SO I CAN FINALLY TAKE A HOT SHOWER!!! I discovered Keraphix conditioner by Nexus and it has saved my life! I am trying to find THE BEST SOFT CURLY BLONDE HAIR EXTENSIONS. At this point I'll spend whatever it takes. I'll be going back to Spain to live with my boyfriend and hope to bring her better extensions for my hair. So is it BLISS.....EBONYLINE OR NATURE GIRL?? I know everyone has their own opinion but please help. Thanks again, Faith
Dear Isaac, You have never tried my hair. I'll be happy to send you some free samples. Just email me srr@aloha.net You'll be very surprised. My son lives in NYC, where is your salon?
Srr, I really like the 100% guarentee. That shows good customer service where some other stores on the other hand shows none. If I could get 3 ounces of top quality 18 inch hair for $300.00 I might consider. Do you have any references though that you could put on your webpage. It would really help you out alot. Word of mouth is the best advertisement there is.
I'll be happy to send anyone a sample of my hair. I'm not a big company, just one little person with a workshop off my kitchen who nobody has heard of. AMM, I did respond to you www.talkhairbotique.com/forum/viewthread.asp?forum=AMBAP934431446&id4795 I would be grateful for the chance to prove myself & my hair. Please email me srr@aloha.net I really love this board... peope with lots of great knowledge!! I don't want to get blackballed. I didn't realize the importance of having one of my clients email you. Now I understand, I don't blame you for wanting as much info about me as possible...it is a lot of money. I do offer a 100% guarentee, if you don't like the hair send it back for a full refund. If it mats send it back, I'll make you a new one. There's also a guarantee with credit cards. You can contest anything you buy, and your credit card Co. will make a full investigation, and you'll get your money back. I know, it happened to me. I order my hair over the internet from a guy in the Ukraine. The cost hasn't just doubled, its quadrupled in price. I've been burned badly only one time....it was painful. No recourse as they all want a wire transfer, they won't take a credit card. Once you send it, it's gone.

Set me straight on something. You wrote this post yesterday:
>>>> posted on 5-Feb-2005 2:37:11 PM Hi Amm,
Again, I am in no way related to Amekor, or any other hair company. <<<<
I'm a bit confused. You're in no way related to any other hair company but yet you sell hair off a web site? Can you clarify that?
I do recall you saying you sell hair that's 100% cuticle and I asked if I could have a sample so I could look at it under a microscope. I have some really high powered one at my employment that I can use. You never responded to that. What do ya say? Think your hair could stand up to the challenge?
I was going to order your hair from Hawiian Hair since your website seemed really good. I then found this board and NOBODY knew about you. I still wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and emailed you and asked for one of your clients to tell me about your hair. You gave me NOTHING. Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but if you have soooooo many happy clients why could you not find ONE to tell me about your hair? I also could not find anything about your hair on the internet and I told you this so you sent me advertisements for you hair - still no ratings. If you want people to buy your hair you have to show something for it. I want to hear from real people who have used your hair and what they think of it. Your hair is VERY expensive and too much for me to spend Blind. Myself and others included have had too many bad experiences with hair
Well, I think microrings (or extendtubes, which are actually better) are a pretty good method, since they use no glue and are fairly easy to apply. But it's true: Those rings are pretty small, and ideally I'd prefer not to have any metal on my hair at all. I think a lot of it really depends on the hair, though. People with medium to thick healthy hair can get away with a lot more than people with superthin, fine hair (unfortunately, I fall into the latter category).
I've actually never tried wefts. When I was first looking into extensions, I was told they'd be too bulky for my hair, so I never pursued it. I do think there are some advantages to wefts, though, the more I've been reading about them. Again, I think it really depends on the type of hair you have and the look you want to achieve.
As far as Dome/Prostyles/PlastikHaar, what's funny about it is that I feel like most people are now using this hair with methods other than the traditional Dome heat-sealing method. Most people I've heard of are using it for pinchbraiding, shrinkies, and extentubes, actually--probably because the heat-sealing method is such a hassle.
My feeling about shrinkies is that they're a good method, and quite invisible. I also think they're generally quite safe--certainly safer than fusion--but I do think it's important to pretip the hair properly and so some experimentation with the heat settings first. Generally, they seem to hold quite well, and when they don't it seems to be an error in the application. I have yet to have a whole head of shrinkies; I've just experimented on my hair and my boyfriend's, and the results have generally been good, although I definitely need to play around with them more. My hair absolutely hates glue and is extremely fragile and thin, so if I can do a full head with success, that would be saying a lot. My next full-head experiment will be next weekend with synth; then, I might switch to shrinkies, at least in the more visible portions of the hair. We'll see.......
