Actually Thermofiber is a patent product I believe, (you can actually google Thermofiber) but Elite Thermo is Shrinkie's product. They have had the manufacturer blend the colors for them specifically, etc to try and come up with a superior product. I ordered mine from Shrinkies, but I am going to look at some other sources for more blonde colors. Shrinkies does rock with customer service.
gawsh girls, I really want to order this hair, but I need to know if it curls and holds really well. Also, how does it feel, does it feel like synthetic when it is wet??
Tell me everything!! Any updates...I think I might order some of this hair!

Hi Neck-ed (I'm in the south that's how we pronounce it down here)
I love this hair. I have washed it every night since it's been in and for me it holds the body wave. I wouldn't say curl, but then again I use a medium size iron on it. It definitely is not stick straight though. It feels like real hair to me even when it is wet. I doubled over the weft to get a thicker feel though. I just wish there was some other way to get a good snug way on keeping it on other than the glue. I don't like the pro-tac, I can't keep it in more than a few days. I still might try to attach a weft with rings or some other conconction. Too bad we can't come up with some way to fuse the weft on. I don't think you will be disappointed in the hair if you can find a good color match.

Great, thank you so much, I think I am going to buy it! It's worth a shot! I am worried about the color match because usually I just dye anything to match!
I'm surprised about the pro-tacs, they stay in so well for me! I wonder if you could try using fusion pellets and putting the weft on like that. Never seen it done, but glue like that freaks me out!
hey, nomorebaldie: where in the south are you? i'm still trying to find a hair buddy so we can do each other's hair in times of need. i'm deep in the heart of texas.
Yikes maybe I jumped the gun but you can dye the American Dream Thermofibre so I just assumed it was the same through the board lol x mmmm I can feel some peroxide coming out lol x

: i'm in austin, tx. i've been dying to have individuals to try out myself and to apply them to someone, but all my pals just can't understand that supplies will cost more than $20 *sigh* and aren't wanting to invest. nor do any of them have the patience to do anything for longer than 30min when it comes to hair. meanwhile i dye and cut their hair for free.
Amanda8Beechwoo: so what kind of dye works on thermo? i remember reading something about fabric dyes, but i can't recall exactly how that worked out...
what I'm wearing: 1 pkg 18" DLux SS #2 and protac

Yeah, amanda, spill all!! I am obsessed with dying to tweak the color of hair to match perfectly!!!
I'm so thrilled about this hair! I hope it's as good as it seems!! I am really worried about the curl though. Does it curl like WaWa, because that stuff looks funny when I curl it.....
Sorry so many questions, I am so picky always!! =)
Amanda I had to use a curling straight iron while the hair was damp to get the curl to do anything too, but with that hot iron it took the curl and held it great. You all can say what you want but I for one think this stuff is fantastic. It stays bouncy and can be treated like human hair, actually you don't have to baby it as much. My only problem is getting the color just right, but by the time we highlight and lowlight our hair it is a bunch of different colors anyway so a perfect match probably couldn't be had. Just complaining about something I guess.I do fold the wefts over to get a better thickness. I just use lg and i am one lookin good mama! This is my second week in and I have not one complaint. Anyone need #9? Dark ashe brown, but way too dark for me even for low lights. Anyone blending it?
note to nomorebaldie - I've sewn micro rings onto wefts for several installs now. Just search for posts by "grandma" to get my tips and opinions if you want more info.
I received my supply of thermofiber (elite) from amm a few days ago, but haven't installed yet. I also got my new order of my usual Gold Bohyme the same day. Took both types of hair out of their packages and honestly, I can't feel any difference between the synth and human! Didn't know which elite to order so got #5 and combo #5/9. Although I love the blend of 5/9, #5 better matches my own so will use that. I've washed the weft of elite and was very pleased, no tangles, behaves like hh when combing it. Curling . . . my pro 1-1/2" barrel made just a slight body wave. All I want is a nice body curl anyway, so think I will be okay with this. Just need to practice more - once it's on my head! Seems it will take more time to curl than my usual throw in a set of hot curlers BUT if the body lasts for days - then well worth it!!!
Color note: the Elite #5 is slightly darker than the Bohyme #3 that I have been getting, very rich dark brown with no highlights. I'll do my install later this week and take pics if it looks good I hope this hair does well - for the price I won't feel bad when I cut/layer it like I do when I cut any of my Bohyme
