Suggestions: Taming 28mm PH

You'll definitely have to fold it in half and deal with 1/2 of it at a time; otherwise, it's just toooooo long and it gets really tangly. I tied it in a knot at the middle, kept one end in the band and unbanded the other end, and dealt with it from there. That way, there was MUCH less shedding. I think the curl is the culprit. Also, when you take the curl out via blowdryer or however, the hair still has a different texture than I imagine the 50mm does...a tad coarse. Probably from the curling process at the factory.

Next time I'm getting 50mm too, but meanwhile, I like this hair - it's still pretty and looks 100% real. Plus, it's in.

Someone is ALWAYS planning a new install.

First, the hair has to get here. I'm on pins and needles.

Which colors are you using, girl? Are you mixing the WaWa and the PH side by side? :) 

1 x      mandel
- Style: 28mm curl      
1 x      winterblond
- Style: 28mm curl      
1 x      caramel blond
- Style: 28mm curl      
1 x      flieder UV
- Style: 28mm curl      
1 x      seidenblond
- Style: 28mm curl      

I want to do complete PH - nothing else. If the colors aren't what I need, I'll reorder and wait until they get here. I don't want to mix this.

I ordered on 2/23. Is it normal to take over a month?

Syren, thanks. No boiling water. I'll remember to just keep it hot.

Hmm...that seems slow, actually. I usually end up getting the hair before the expected three weeks. Was something on backorder? You might want to check in with Sara. :)

Those colors look beautiful together--I just checked out the combo on my ring. :)

I currently have the 28mm curl in now.   For pretipping I banded both ends and cut it in the center, I only wear my hair below the shoulders so this works well for me.  I just snipped little pieces below the rubber band to make my tips. 

I personally really like the curl pattern of the 28... I love that messy lion mane look.  IMO the curlier hair is more forgiving if the application technique is less than perfect...far from it in my case.  When I blew it straight I ended up cutting it pretty much even with my own...why do I always end up with the same frickin' hair cut?

It is now straight as a stick, but feels good and looks natural.  My new order just arrived and I can't wait to tear into that so I can repeat the process all over again.

 

Well, that's the thing: It doesn't, which is weird. I've been wearing the hair for 6 weeks now, and it seems like that weird frizziness is just limited to the very, very end--like the last 16th of an inch or so--while the hair directly above it is fine and stays fine. With human, it'll continue to split all the way up, but this seems very limited to that final end.

That's why I'm wondering if it's heat exposure or just the inevitable result of cutting the fiber. Along these lines, I think it can be helpful to trim this hair--just that tiny bit on the ends--every two weeks or even every week. (Blow-drying or steaming will smooth it out too, temporarily.) But perhaps there's a product or something that would reinforce those ends after cutting. I don't know enough about fibers to speculate, but maybe someone here has some ideas? :)

amm - I ordered on 2/8? about then anyhow and got my shipment yesterday.  But she didn't ship til two weeks ago today.  Part of my delay was special order bangs and what not.  Part that she was short on brunette colors and had to sort out what to substitute.  Have you received an email saying that she has shipped it?  

mocha,

I ordered the afternoon of 2/23 at 2:13 PM. I received the email that my order status was: processing.

At 2:14 PM (one minute later) I received the email that my order status was: delivered.

That was the last correspondence I've received.

I just checked my history at Plastikhaar and it says status delivered.

I guess I should write Sara?

yeah I'd definitely wtite sara.  Cause my hair came economy in just under two weeks.  I'm on the east coast but...
