That would be fun if you could be my guinea pig! You're in San Jose, right?
AMM- In what town do you live?
As I said before, I'm actually in Shingle Springs (where the hell's that, right?) and it's off of HWY 50 about 40 miles NE of Sacramento, in the foothills.
Wow, Fina! That looks totally hot girl! From your pics, it looks like you got a LOT cut off! I still can't believe this is synthetic hair!!! I'm so happy for you!
There is *no way* that Dome/Pro Hair can be done with only one person
Oh yes you can. I used an assistant for YEARS doing the 4 strand box braid (which is this macrame thing your stylist is saying). I was delighted to learn the 3 strand method because now I don't have to pay an assistant, or have late assistants or no show assistants or annoying assistants. JUST ME! And it looks just fine and lasts just as long. And I can get done quicker instead of working with slow people. The "glue" is spirit gum. I use it on everyone, it's harmless.
Kimberly: My curls didn't really "come back," but I've been able to create some curl with steam rollers and *gulp* a curling iron. The wave didn't completely drop out (although it loosened a lot) until I blow-dried it with the brush. Blowing the hair out will make it seriously pin-straight (at least with the 50mm, although I would imagine this applies to all synth hair).
I actually blowed the hair with a round brush this morning and was able to create a slight bend on the ends, but this is neither here nor there for you, since you need serious curls. From the sounds of it, the 28mm will be a great match, and since you're wearing clips, I think it'll be awhile before you need to blow-out the ends.
Hell, who knows?, maybe with enough care, the hair doesn't really need to be blown-out. Honestly, if they're clips, I really would think you'd be best washing the hair very, very little; just use Febreeze or something, and the initial curl should hold up well. And if Fina's washed hers twice with no loss of curl, that's certainly encouraging.
In other words, don't go by me--lol! At this point, I've conducted so many experiments on it. What's actually suprising is that given everything I've done to the hair, it's holding up pretty well. After 9 washes or so and tons of heat-styling, it still looks better than human, imo.
Tomorrow, I'll post pictures after I get steamed. In a week or so, I'll post my results with the velvet-covered hot rollers.
Bottom line: The haar is $13 a bag and looks amazing--how can you really go wrong?
Boogiemama - that's IT - you are doing my next batch -- I just gotta see you in action! Gals, anybody up for a road trip? Or shall we just all meet in a central location and fly Boogiemama in and have her to OURSELVES until we are done with her? er, I mean, until she is done with us??
um, ahem, the curl is, um, dropping ever so. . . slightly. . .I will post some pics today after I fix my camera. Yes, it broke. My dog knocked it out of my hands yesterday and, well, you know. . .
I've been told I look like Lisa K, but I really did think the hair was more RITA. THANKS JENNY - you crack me up.
-Fina
p.s. OT: I Need to re-start another post on using shrinkies with LG only as pretips: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS - the LG Is a B**CH to get out of your hair -- I know amm said to put nail glue over the tips -- but dummy me I didn't --
