PlastikHaar/Dome/Issac-Cyberparlor Show-Off

Hey MetalGirl,

The Dome and the PH feel really nice to me, but they do feel different than human hair; I don't think there's a way around that. When it's wet, it feels like straw. actually, but the drying process is so much easier than with human, imo. I'll be posting an update with new pics tonight. :)

i have a couple wefts of the sassy silky straight synth to practice on my manaquin with.

if you like that stuff, which is the bottem feeder of synth, lmao, then you will LOVE plastikhaar :)

How does the PH feel to the touch? Does it feel real? How does it feel when it's wet and can it be blowdried?

I once had a stylist install the Dome method in my hair, and they started slipping out immediately the next day. I also hated the Barbie Doll feel of the hair. I had this done about 12 years ago, so maybe the hair is made to feel more real these days.

Holy crap!!!! I've been gone a few days and I've missed out! Jenny you're hair is beautiful!!!!! I am so jealous OK... I have to try the synthetic...I never knew it was so cheap!
P.S. I will miss you Debbie ( just kiddin)

what a great mommy. are you adopting?!

One thing, though: I know a lot of people are interested in the differences between Dome and PH. At this point, the waves really all look the same in my hair, but I was just going through the bags I have of them, and I would say that, upon arrival, the Dome Classic is slightly wavier than the PH 50mm. The difference is pretty subtle, though. I imagine the Dome Wavy is comparable to the PH 28mm in texture, but I haven't seen either one yet. :)

Dangerously sexy!!!

Beautiful hair, Jenny! :) :) :)

Scotchy: How many rows is a really good question. My best guess is 7, plus some smaller, mini rows on the sides and closer to the crown. My real hair is superthin and damaged in parts, so the extensions need to be placed quite strategically. So while they do follow a basic row formation, they sort of divert from that pattern somewhat, too.

Along these lines, the braids get a lot smaller as he works up the head. It took Isaac 3 hours to do my whole head, and he sort of blended the hair in batches as he went. He's been doing this for a long time, so he was just shuffling the hair between his hands like it was nothing. I wish it could explain how to do it, but I imagine it's just a matter of practice, really.

:)

Thanks, Amanda. I'm loving it too!

Save~A~Stray: I wish I could say which is better quality-wise, but I really can't. They feel quite similar, and as you can see, when you mix the two together, it's virtually impossible to tell which is which. The Dome light blonde was quite shiny, but so were the PlastikHaar Satin and Platinum; both companies' white shades were much more matte than their light blondes.

I'll definitely let you know if I notice any differences going forward. But at this point, just based on price, selection and customer service, I'd have to recommend Plastikhaar; PH is $13 a bag, whereas Dome is $28.29 (and the Dome shipping is pricey, too). Also, the PH comes superlong, so if you want shorter lengths or a lot of layering, you could possibly cut the PH and make two strands for the price of one (if that makes any sense...).

That said, I'm glad I ordered the Dome too because they have a very creamy white-blonde color that I'm not sure if PH has, which was added to the mix.
