Wow Amm thats beautiful! How exciting! so you can really curl it and that? and i dont know about you but that shine looks very very natural, i dont think the shine on the ph is that bad but on that hair it looks just like human even with a camera on it
They have the blonde and medium brown colors at that site. It says 20" but I think this is the same 22" I have. If it is a couple inches shorter than what I wear, it's still good for layering on top and the underlayer can be my usual 24" or so.
Jenny - how does it compare to PH? Well, this curls obviously so it's going to really appeal to those who like to change the look of their hair. The curl has stayed put after two trial washings. I think you can use a straightening iron on it too but that's a very high heat. Haven't tested that yet. It's not as long as PH which will be a problem for some who like the super length over 24". But the feel of this hair is not like PH at all. The PH's ends felt a little rough after washing. This WA WA hair is soft as silk all the way through to the ends. It feels like Silky Straight Remy Cuticle. Even after 2 washings, the hair is unbelievably smooth and there's no flyaway with it.
As they say, extension hair is only as good as its last washing so we'll see how it performs over time. And at $10 for a 4oz bag, I'm pretty stoked.
Kanekalon is sometimes referred to as a heat-resistant fibre, too, although you wouldn't want to curl it with an iron. I wish there were a more consistent terminology for this stuff, so I could figure out how to search for the curlable stuff specifically. :)
>>> Wa Wa single weft is approximatly 14" and Wavy is approximately 14-16". Thank You!<<<
I'm guessing it's the same as on hairsisters?
Edit: PS:another great set of links, Jenny. I think as long as it's thermofiber or whatever they call it and they say it can curl, it's probably going to work. That ebony link is superb. It has the length and the colors! ::perk::
Thanks, AMM. It really looks very promising. Perhaps someone should start importing this stuff direct from the manufactures overseas and start marketing it over here. Hell, if it's synth, I don't see why they can't make it in every length and color of the rainbow.
What's interesting is that this super-smooth hair is being marketed as Yaki. Still can't figure that one out!
Jenn that second link you posted is the same company that I buy my hair from, The Korean hair21 website. They have so many things and so many different names and websites that it can get confusing. But theyve always done me good!
The hair I got from eBay is definitely a full 22". I measured it.
The below link looks exactly like what I got (except I did not get two tone). It comes in two tied bulk pieces (each one weighs 2 oz). It even says 22" and it's a full length.
Ive already ordered the professional grade Kanekalon from Ebonyline. Ill see how it does when it gets here. I love having long hair but Im not much for curling it. Thats why I was looking for a synth that already has a curl to it. On Hair Sisters they have that WaWa with a body wave to it. If this Kanekalon dosnt work out I will give that one a try.
WaWa was a popular brand of synthetic hair that some of the girls on BHM used. I've never used synthetic but I think the consensus was that they liked WaWa but there was another brand called "Hot Stuff Fusion" by Janet Collection that they liked more.
You all can do a search on BHM but there's a ton of threads about WaWa and Hot Stuff.
The hair only lasted about 6 weeks and they said if you use the wrong product it can make the ends dry and to only use hot rollers to curl it and curling irons don't work.
They also used a brand called Freetress, the reviews were mixed. I actually have some of this kind but never used it. http://www.snghair.com/
And I thought this brand of synthetic was interesting it's called "OPH" and supposedly you can dye it and perm it. I've never tried it but it's out there. http://www.royalimex.com/ click on the banner that says "What is OPH?"
But overall I think WaWa is a good choice, I haven't heard too many complaints about it.
I'm really intrigued by the Ebonyline stuff, since they've got the longer lengths and the color I would want. It also seems like everyone here (including UK customers) have had good experiences with ebony, unlike some other companies (*coughs*).
I would love to get a perspective from some of the stylists who've been working with synth for awhile--Rae and BoogieMama come to mind--about these new synthetics v. the standard monofiber (Dome, Pro, PH).
:)
Oh, and AfroPuffs: Thanks for that info. I saw the Hot Stuff Fusion photos from one of the BHM members and they were gorgeous (I'm forgetting her name). I never searched for WaWa, though. I will now. :)
I would not recommend buying Prolin: http://www.domeshoponline.com/shop_us/erol.html (which are blends of the monofiber colors), unless you have no other choice. The blends look nice, but you'll get about 1/4 of the hair for the price.
OK, having been a human hair junkie for the last 4 years and now, like all junkies, being completely wasted and out of money, I'm jumping on the synthetic bandwagon (I will melt, rather than burn, on the stake!! LOL)
I am a newbie to this thread so please forgive my incredibly stupid question - but how are you attaching the synth hair??
I ordered the Dome video quite a while ago but (yes I'm blonde) it was in the wrong format for my VCR... and the more I learn about it, it requires 4 hands which I haven't yet grown.
FinaFina, most of the gals here are doing/switching/testing/using shrinkies. Although I think some are using extendtubes/microrings and I think Jenny is still wearing pinchbraids.
