I think your hair looks great, especially in the picture with the curls. I am new to extensions but I am very soon going to install a few as a highlighted effect in my hair. I figured that I would just try a few at first and see how I get on with them before venturing further. I hope to one day be capable of installing extensions like yours. Well done.
Here's the first pictures of my install along with pictures of the hair I used. If all goes well I hope to be offering this hair in the near future.
I'll try my best to answer all of the common questions...
Hair colors are #613 and a mix of a #613 and a light brown color (Similar to #14b on the Bohyme color ring).
Methods used: Keratip for the mixed color hair and a mix of extendtubes and shrinkies for all of the #613. I snipped a few of the keratip strands in half to make some smaller strands.
I used about 5 ounces of 20" hair (which measures at 21 1/2").
It took me about 6 hours to do on myself but I split it into two sessions.
Did I miss anything?

Flashback to recap my hair's progress as I grow it out after some horrible breakage:

November 2005 Before install:
Below are two pictures during my install using YHS Shrinkies. Sorry about the black roots. I usually have my hair freshly colored before I install but my roots were just short enough to not be in the bonds (and I was way too excited to wait any longer ). Notice the mirror I have rigged up hanging so I can see the back of my hair while I install it (my nickname is Macgyver haha ). It works great.
Oh yeah, in the mirror you can see the very top row in the back that I was working on at the time this picture was taken.
Side view of before and after. Notice my hair only went to my sleve in the before picture (below left) and now it's about 8" longer. Also check out the horrible layers around my face caused by my past breakage.
After pictures from the back... thick pony tail huh?!
After the first shower, the comb out was a breeze and the hair didn't go curly.
Just after I blew it dry, no fancy round brushes. It dries straight.
My hairs debut out on the town last night. I curled it with a 1" barrel curling iron. It took me less than 15 minutes to curl it (WoW!). It took curl quickly and held all night with out hair spray. It still has a soft curl today, 24 hours later:
Here are a few pictures of the hair. I used all of the platinum but only 2 bundles of the mixed shade for the under side of my hair.
I'll keep you posted with the quality of the hair as I continue to wear it.
I'm off to bed, let me know if you have any questions
