You could try PM'ing Koffee instead..

I can't see it either

Koffee,  Was your curly wig on the silky side?  I just received a wig from Kevin Freedelee and the wig is on the silky side.  Too silky for my taste.  I will take pictures and post with a CVS camera soon.

 

I can't see the pic

Afro, I like it too. And i've already darkened the roots. It was a breeze, so i won't have to worry about that. And I haven't tried them on yet because i have Bliss Deep Wavy tracks in now. I W-U'ed Jeff like $545 I think for the 3 wigs and that included the xtra super rush fees for each wig. The 3rd wig he said was being held at customs for some reason and he has to go down and do something so they will release it. So that worked out because I was able to give him the cx zip code for him to use on the package. Hopefully he got addy right this time. It's hit or miss w/ the international vendors I think. sometimes they mess up writing the address #'s right.  I ordered hair from Amsterdam and the lady transposed my address too, but that packaged arrived anyway.

Thanks Metal. I like it light density too. I think Jeff did a good job based on what I asked for. He seemed to have been precise to my instructions. The bleaching of knots is something i think he doens't have a good handle on because I know they shouldn't look like that. But since I said "bleached", maybe he just bleached them to be light. with the language barrier, I have to allow for him being too literal on some things. I'll know next order to say "NO bleached knots." Because I can bleach 'em myself, or not.

Overall, so far, so good w/ Jeff. He shipped when he said he would and he's been in constant contact with me during whole deal. Now, lets see how quickly i get my 3rd wig.. He said it would leave customs today

    somebody please pass this on to BHM...

I typed too soon about darkening the knots.. I thoguht it turned blue, but now that it's dry i see that's just dark black (which is the color i used on it). So that worked! BUT since the wig hair color is actually BROWN, it still stands out being DARK black at root. So  easiest thing for me to do is to just cut the lace off and cut that hariline off too. I was gonna create my own hairline anyway, so i just need to cut back past the bleached knot part. Fortunately he only did that bleaching around front and ear hairline. He didn't bleach hairline roots in back, and didn't bleach thruout wig. So by cutting off the bleached part i will be cutting off a tiny bit of lace w/ hair attached. But i don't think it will affect the fit any. I have only been able to try the wig on over my Bliss tracks, and it seems to be a good fit, but I'm sure i can stand to take off a bit in front cap and not miss it.

ETA: coloring/darkening the bleached/white knots is a breeze. I found some dark brown hair color in the stash and I tested that, and it colored nicely. I don't know why Jeff said the hair wouldn't take color, unless he meant as far as lightenig it. My experience is that u can always DARKEN.. anyhoo.. I"m pleased. PASS IT ON.

Monet: thanks for posting my replies on BHM . I haven't heard from Jeff yet. It's early AM in China, so he'll probaly email me aroudn 2am EST like he usu does. I hope he hasn't sent the 3rd wig in sep. packg already. Cause he had wrong zip on the ones i got today and i had to drive 'a piece' to go get the pckg at Fed ex. So i hope i can catch him to give him correct info so next one will come to my door. 

FYI, i got a light density and i'm pleased with that. It's not too light tho, lite to medium. It did a lot of shedding right out box, so i knew it would lose some in beginning. It's btr now after wash. I really love the density.. it looks very natural and is SOOOO light. My other lacefronts required thinning, this one wont.
HEY THIS IS COOL, REPLYING TO BHM POSTS ON HB BOARD.. lemme iin BHM!!

Yeah I told them that and I will tell that what you just told me? And thanks for not bein  that I posted your pic so many of us was waiting for one of Jeff's pictures. I hope you get approved on BHM

Also  for the info on processed and un-processed hair cause I was mad for you for a second knowing there was nothing you could do about the coloring in the front.

What about some ol fashioned hair color spray ?

Monet, I see u posted my stuff on the BHM board. hmmm...
Anyhoo, can u tell folks that i am NOT unhappy with the wig at all. I don't know if my post (that u copied) gave the wrong impression. I was only giving information.. The bleached/white knots  is what i asked for, i just didn't know they'd be white! I think i cut that part away tho, so no complaints about that either.
And  may be naive, but I do think i'll get my other wig from Jeff. If not, i will be refunded by my credit card. So i ain't jumping out the window.. yet.
