Basically, her natural-looking heads (as opposed ot the bright, punky ones) are very similar to the ones you do, 'cept she uses synthetic instead of human.

Kristin, I have every faith that you can do a job using synthetic that looks every bit as good as those pictures. I know you can do it.

Next question: have you used shrinkies? Or more like, would you use shrinkies?!

Right now I'm experimenting with different synths I can get quickly (just got a bag of Trimco) to see what it acts like, looks like, etc. as I wait for my Plastikhaar color ring to arrive. Also, in a vain attempt to replicate AMM's amazing 'do but in browns, I have some bss pretipped human hair in my hair using shrinkies and some extendtubes and am not having much success. I can pull out a handful of shrinkie hair on command. I have a feeling that a really great installation with fantastic hair is not something I'll be able to do myself...
Soooo.....when the time comes, I'd like to talk to you about putting mine in! Woohoo! The pictures on your website are fabulous. Who knows...maybe you will become the future Synth Hair Queen of Southern California! God knows we need one.

p.s. HOLY ****!!! Take a look at the before and the AFTER on the last link in Rae's post - whoooo!
That girl needs to go directly to that bar where redheads drink for free - she'd be the smokingest redhead in the place.

Hey Kristin,

I was grilling BoogieMama about the same thing! Here's what she said she uses:

"I started out with Dome in the 80's, then I used Trimco when I worked for them, back to Dome and now I use Prohair."

I wonder if she thinks there's a big difference in quality between the brands; I forgot to ask...

Sherrie sent me some in blue, which I used for streaks in my boyfriend's hair. It seemed fine, but he didn't keep them in for very long, and streaks aren't like having a whole head of them in anyway. Sherrie could probably give you a better idea of how it compares.

I was actually quite interested in ordering Prohair, but it's only available to licensed stylists in the U.S. (anyone can get it in the U.K.), so I ordered PlastikHaar and Dome instead. Based on everyone's commentary, I got the impression there wasn't a whole lot of difference between the brands (not like there is with human, anyway), but I imagine people who've used them extensively can identify the differences. :)

Ive only used the prostyles for streaks too. And what I still have on hand is several years old. At least 3, so Im not sure if there has been any changes in technology that may have changed the look, feel or texture of it. And I only have bright funky colors. The only other monofiber that I can compare it to is PH, which I really like the looks of but havent used yet! So I dont really know!
