help with hair choice

extension hair color #'s are different from dye/color #s. A salon or beauty supply store that does/sells hair extensions would have a color ring or hair to compare your hair to. If they dont do/sell hair extensions they probably wouldnt have a color ring for it. But maybe we can you help figure it out. Im thinking you are probably somewhere between a #6 and #12 on a hair extension color chart. Probably more in the middle of that about a 8/10.

I've done 2 washes with it and it loosens up quite a bit after the first one and then there was no change after the 2nd wash. The ends and how they felt after the wash and conditioning is what concerns me though.

Hmmm this concerns me too. Did you use any of the spray on products for maintaining synthetic hair? I cant think of what the names of the products are. I havent bought any mantainence products yet, and I dont know for sure what to get, but I know everyone says they are a must have.

silicone-based shine sprays and 'conditioning' type products for synthetic hair. Probably about anyplace that sells synthetic hair sells the products. I just dont know which ones are the best to buy?

just thought id chip in on my experience *just washed both my samples* the 50m kinda went down to just straight with a very very SLIGHT wave at the very bottom, the 28 definately lost curl but i thought it did a lot better than the 50 *figures i already just ordered the 50* i noticed too that when it was wet the hair looked kinda ermmm dont know how to explain it, frizzy i guess? like they werent clumped into one there were hairs sticking this way and that *mostly on the 28* so i sprayed it with some leave in conditioner and that helped a lot, it dryed pretty good...so i guess whatever kinda wave you want youd want to do the next curl which sara offers quite a few of but only by special order *you have to buy 5 packs of same color/texture*

Standard silicone shine sprays and braid sprays are good for synth. I think you can find them just about anywhere.

I think she was talking about how to curl synthetic hair by wrapping it in a roller and dipping it into piping hot water. The synthetic hair slightly melts then reforms to that curl in the cool air. I saw a link somewhere on docs site, but I am on a tablet PC right now that is a pain in the rear to surf, so I will let someone else link to it, unless you find it yourself. (although i guess it is a kinda simple concept, unless I am missing something) dont really need the pics and step by step explanation.

This is the color I am thinking of. And the 28 mm curl.

If that seems right, the only thing left is how much?! I think I recall hearing 4 4 oz batches? is that right? So since 100 is around 3.5 oz, 4 of these?

*phew* almost done

(now lets just hope I don't decide I want more colors in there)

StS I really wouldnt want to give an opinion on PH color selections unless I could distinguishyour hair color on a color ring first. I think you look like about a #8 but its hard to tell. If you get the chance to look around on some of the hair supply websites look at the color charts & see what you think.
