Hi there guys just a bit of advice and reassurance really. I got my pack of french refined from Ebonyline this morning and there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of hair in one pack. Will this definitely be enough for a full head do you think x Anybody got any install pictures of just one pack x
It gets very full!! And the curl will look very diferent "beter" when washed. Go ahead and wash it frist that way when your instaling you will have a better idea whan it will look like. I put a full bag in mine and I have med amount of hair. The red head is a client wit only 3/4 a bag in
Thanks a lot Marie. Can I just clarify something with you. Shall I wash the hair or do you think just wetting it would do and also, do you suggest I leave the weft to dry or scrunch dry it with a hairdryer. Also which picture is the red head, they both look kinda reddish xx Thanks so much for your help x
Mine is a # 4 which dose have alot of red in it. I have the white shirt. I would wash with shampoo to get sealent off and put some conditinor on the main lenght ( not top so tips adhear good) then just let it air dry. Your going to brush thrugh it any way while tipping. After install I just spray and difuse with dryer or air dry then add curl to my top layer. Amm it's bohyme French refined. When you buy 14 inch it really is 17 blown out. I bought a bag of there light red not sur think it was 30 or 33. And a 18/22 I colored some of it with three diferent shades of red before tipping. I loved this hair and miss it sooo much still having a bad relashionship with my RK!!! This hair however is hard to keep straight in humidity I would only use it on some one who likes curl and a pool will kill it quick dryed the hell out of mine in little time it was great before the swim!
Hi there again chick, thanks for getting back to me. I bought 18inch, do you think that will still be enough hair? Your hair looks beautiful. I didn't realise bohyme came with a sealant on??? Do you mean you spray the hair wet after install and then diffuse? Is this necessary as I don't have a diffuser and I can't really let the client's hair air dry. Sorry for all the questions but I want to get it right as this is my first curly client apart from the bodywave xx
With 18 your geting less hair but it depends on how thick hers is.I try and grab the bulk of there hair in a pony just with your hands you dont have to make one, then feel how big the pony of washed FR is if there close or the FR is feels like more your ok. You could just tell her that you need to buy more hair and that she will have some for next time. Yes, Bohyme has a sealent and after washing it dosent look like barbie hair! If you want you can scrunch or dry them the way you would any curly client
For a full head of extensions, I always order 2 packages of hair, epecially at the 18" length. If it was 14" hair, you get a longer weft, than perhaps only 1 package would work.
If there is NO way to get another bag Try this.Skipp rows leave enough space to go back and install another row if needed or if there is hair left you can go back to the spots you skiped. If I run in to the same problem I like to do the top frist because that is where a lack of hair is going to show the most so make sure you have enough there frist. then go back to botom and work up then you will have a beter idea of what is needed .
She is just going to have to wait till you get maore hair just or let her know that you can do it as I described and she may have to wear it in a pony till you can get the rest. At least she will have a long pony. Not much else you can do hun : (
Thanks Marie. I spoke to her last night and I said to her that we could probably fill in the underneath with straight 613 bohyme so the curl would lay on top and she said that was fine. Just one question. I washed the hair last night and I've been scrunching it every now and then but as its drying its a tad frizzy on the ends. What do I put on it to combat that? x
I allways put some silicone drops on the ends of my FR I used ones by big sexey but any will do I supose. I don't think that puting in straight under is going to work well. The curl will jump up and you will have straight ends hanging out. I wonder if you can perm the straight stuff?
Thanks for everybody's help, there was plenty of hair, here are the pictures, she just needs to lighten her back a bit but I think it looks great on her. I think anymore hair and she would have looked like a yhetti LOL xx
Thanks guys. I'm so proud cos its my first curly one. She was swishing it around and stuff and playing with it when I'd done, she absolutely loved it and she texted me this morning saying her hubby loved it too. The photos actually don't do it justice. There was definitely more than enough hair in one pack xxxxxx
