QuoteReplyTopic: American Dream ****PICS**** Posted: April 27 2005 at 2:42am
So, I don't have them in because I want to stay 100% Plastikhaar right now but I want you guys to see what I got.
This is American dream in #16, silky straight, 18" on a machine weft. I wanted to see how it was before I committed to a bigger order and I can definitely use this color and length for framing, etc. It's as beautiful as it looks.
When they say 100 grams, they mean it.
Pretty, pretty, like soft butterscotch
For those with PH color rings, American Dream #16 = PH "Blond"
It does. I received an AD sample myself and, I must say, it feels very
nice. It actually feels a lot like the straight WaWa to me, but I
haven't done any testing with the hair (washing, curling, etc.). Just
based on the look and feel, AMM, how would you say it compares to the
WaWa straight? :)

Yeah I'm also curious how it will compare to WaWa straight.
Of course my husband saw the Wawa last night and asked when/how I
was going to wear it and wanted to know when that meant the stockpile
in the closet was going on my head and....
I'm not sure that ordering a bunch of AD is a good idea for me right
now. But then again what he doesn't know will only hurt his
wallet.

The burning question is of course PERFORMANCE. I've got so many fried "thermal" ends on my head I'm wondering what good it is (but then again that's the wawa body wave).
It's gorgeous and I use that "Blonde" ALL OVER the place -- in fact I'm getting 2 bags put on my head in a week or so YIPPPPPPPEEEE!!
In *fact*. . .if you want a co-experimentor. . .um. . .keep me in mind!!
No, PH's "Blonde" is what I meant. (Along with Mandel, Platin, and Vanille). What I meant was if you wanted me to get a few strands "pinchbraided" in with my PH install, I'm sure Bettie would love to give that a try. (She uses heat seals and says she can use *any* hair, including human).
If I send you a snip of this weft, will you try the AD and let us know?
I think the longer lengths in the wider selection of colors should be
available pretty soon.
It's synthetic hair that can withstand higher temperature (as
compared with monofiber) It makes it easier for those who need to
use heat appliances to get there style. You can use a regular
curling iron on it as long as you don't really crank the temp up.
With monofiber (which has a different texture as well) you can only use
low temp appliances somewhat sparingly.
This is more robust wrt heat. Though many of the brands people have tried have issues with the ends getting frizzy.

Here are some of the basic FAQ threads for thermofiber. Keep in mind
these don't include reviews and tips from the past three weeks or so
(information travels fast around here), so you might also want to check
the back threads that have been posted in the past month for more info.:
It's kinda like WaWa. The texture is nicer - silkier and more like real hair, plus it comes in more colors and longer lengths. It takes hot tools well like curling irons, although I didn't find it curled all that well or at least nothing special. Also, I found it got frizzy on the ends within 2 days and I had to trim it off.
It's nice thermofiber hair. I just thought it was expensive when you consider shipping from England and the piss poor dollar/pound exchange rate, and it was too inconvenient to order.
If you're still interested in ordering it, I have the thermofiber color ring and could post pictures.
