Same here.

Yesterday I was at a stand at the mall looking at the ponys. She was astonished i had a 'weave' as she called it when she started messing with my hair. But then when she started messing with it she was like, "Oh, this needs to be replaced" (YEs it was ratty bc we just had the top down in the convertible haha and i am do for a replacement i have treated this round like CRAP, bad bad mer"

OF COURSE SHE SAID IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SHE WANTED ME TO BUY HER $70 PONY!

i love plastikhaar

yeah I know I would like to *try* it out.Maybe just for highlights. All the pictures I've seen of it looked beautiful..It was the pictures of you and others like jennyrr's hair that got me interested in it.I cant believe how pretty and shiny it looks even after weeks of wear. I dont know if I can deal with the scratchies but I guess I'll have to give it a go before I veto it completely. When I had my crappy deep wave in my husband slept about as far away from me in bed as he could.Not that I blame him.I wanted to sleep far far... away from that hair too,lol. I have hypersensitive skin.So it wouldnt take much for it to feel itchy.

PH looks incredibly real but it does have kind that kind of scrunchy crunch when you give a handful a squeeze.

When wet, yes, it's like straw. It dries nice though.

Funny thing, when I was in Extensions Plus, the girl who was waiting on me didn't know I was wearing extensions. I had it pulled back and looped through a pony so it was only about the middle of my back. When I took it out and let the 30" fall free, the store came swarming to the counter to see it. They had never heard of Plastikhaar or that synth could look like this.

They also put their hands in it and recoiled. "Ewwww. It's stiff," one replied.

I think it's pretty darn soft, myself. But when you deal with real European and Italian hair all day I can imagine this feels like rope.

AFAIK, all synth feels like straw when it's wet, and PH is no exception. As synth goes, PH is some of the silkiest you'll find (especially after steaming), but I agree with Metalgirl that synth in general is stiffer than high-quality human. I wear PH, and the way it feels when it's wet doesn't bother me at all, but if that's important to you, it may not be the best choice. :)

I have only worn PH and Wa Wa with clip in wefts, and I do think it feels dry.

I really want to like it, and will probably stick with it for a while, but it certainly doesn't compare at all to some of the EP European hair that I have worn that remained silky and tangle free for over 1 year.

Ok, so all the pictures I've seen of it look beautiful.It looks better than alot of human hair I've seen.I would get some.You cant beat the price.But I have one concern.One of the reasons I took the last hair out was because it felt dry and itchy. How does the hair feel when wet?And when its dry does it ever feel scratchy.I know that doesnt seem like a big deal.But I'm leery because I hate that feeling.Any help would be apprecciated from the synth wearers and people who've dealt with synth in general.
