But I'm confused. The top pic is the original install from Kris when you first had it done, right? And I assume the bottom pic is of the new install you just had done, right? So, is the middle pic of the old hair or the new hair? Am I correct in assuming you washed the new hair once, it lost the wave, then you slept with it in a braid? Did you reuse any of the hair from the original install, or is it all new now? Did you use all PH this time, or some Dome too?
I'm just trying to figure out if you were able to "rehbilitate" the old hair via steaming or blow-drying or some other method or you just switched it all out and started fresh. In other words, before you went to Jenna, was it still bunchy, or had you managed to make it look new again on your own?
Here's the deal. The top pic is the original install with Kris Topher in NYC:
The red above sent sent was straight and was supposed to be wave so it never quite looked right from day one.
b4 I went to Jenna, it pretty much looked like this. Note my nephew, Thayer heehee. (I was in NJ for the week helping my sister move there from CT ie why I was close to PA to see Jenna)
The next pictures are on my way home from Jenna's at Dareyourhair.com in PA
Jenna also did my roots. She ONLY removed the red which was equal to one pack of PH and replaced it with pink AND blonde. For every streak or pinchbraid or red she removed, she replaced it with a pinchbraid of half pink and half blonde. (softer look) The pink was wavy instead of the red straight sara sent me by accident. (sara fixed the mistake with NO PROBLEM btw.excellent cust serv) She didn't touch any of my other pinchbraids other than to remove a few i felt i couldn't camoflage too well.
After Jenna did my hair, for the FIRST TIME, all of my wave was completely gone. I was SCARED, but thought I would buy rollers if I had too. (note the above pics are STRAIGHT hair.)
Jenna used Rusk MOIST, Goldwell Conditioner, SeaPlasma and biosilk, and after feeling my hair, i left with all those products. she even used a non boar bristle brush, but with little teeny balls on the end. she had me use it too and i had no trouble. my hair was the softest it has EVER been.
That night, I put my hair in a braid. The next morning I woke with this.
I went to Sallys and bought Biosilk generic 5.99, to test it, Flasher to test it (1.49 trial), a super looper brush 6.99, and a paddle brush like she used on me.
The super looper brush is amazing thus far.
I did not make it look good. Jenna did.
Sherrie- bigger pics as you requested! Sorry about the toilet, it was the only room in my sisters house with good light hahaha and i wanted to take a pic for you guys the day after LOL
The reason it looks more realistic i think is bc about the less amount of colored hair AND the WAVINESS.
I couldn't write all this last night bc we got in from NJ at 2 AM and it was not only a long drive but we ahd been moving and unpacking all week and I was juyst beat, but addicted enough to have to write at least LOL
edit: damn photos
i love plastikhaar

You know, it looks really great straight, too. I wouldn't even bother with waving, I think the straight looks fantastic. But again, love the colors!! That pale pink is great with the blonde.

yep Rae Sally's has the super looper. I was surprised to see them there yesterday and picked one up for myself! And my Sallys is pretty limited on anything pertaining to fake hair!
It really does look amazing, Mer, and I like that your stylist blended the blonde with the pink. The effect is very soft and natural (as pink hair goes, that is :) ). I actually just ordered some pink, as well as a few reds, from Sara myself.
I was curious, too, why the hair was straight when it was installed. Did the wave just brush out or something? :)
Well, she brushed it when i came in. I had some matting in my real hair that i didn't even know about until the day b4. Then she did the punchbraids. then she brushed it again. then she bleached it and brushed it again, then she toned it and i think we brushed it again? and all these times we washed it and conditioned it and all this stuff and brushed it again!!!!
so it was brushed A LOT.
but it is sooooo soft. she did it on sat and i have not washed it or my real hair yet, just showering with a pony on my head, and going to do the sink crown thing tomorrow.
