QuoteReplyTopic: New install, **PHOTOS** advice please? Posted: July 27 2005 at 6:19pm
Okay so I started doing my hair and a million errands at 8:30 this morning.
I now have an altered dress, a dog in a kennel, travel size everything, and newhair.
This is my first HH install. This is FinaFina hair. I
bleached it sligtly, 5 minutes with ~10 vol developer and powder
bleach. Then two conditioning treatments. I have little to
compare it to, but I like it so far. (not smell at all anymore marie
87).
My hair has a few spots that won't hold color right now so don't judge the color match on that but on my hair at the top.
the before's are 3 installs old i think I took them in march. So
my hair is ~2 inches longer but I haven't cut it since then.
What I want to know is should I go higher for the blend? There's
only like three ounces of hair on my head right now. But I htink
it looks surprisingly good.

Let me know if I should put in more hair. and what you think of the color/texture match
Awsome job and NO I don't think you need any more hair. (my opinion) It looks natural and the color is great! What type of install did you do? PB? Beautiful job! (I'm still trying to figure out how to get pics of the back of my head!

Wow mocha I think it looks really good. You could probably get away with it just as it is, Hard to believe thats only 3 oz. of hair. I would probably go another row higher for blending, but yours looks like it blends really well. What install method did you use?

onward to one more row. At least I got another load of laundry done while my hands were free.
I did malaysian lock, used Docs xs rings to make the tracks. My
sewing on my own head skills are wayyyy better than they were last time
I tried that. and these wefts are so thin. No bulkliness on
my head.
It's just shy of one full weft of Fina Fina hair. I didn't weigh it but that should be 3 oz.
Maybe i should go ahead and color the other weft in case I get to Calgary and decide I need more hair...

Whoa, Mocha! That's Fina Indian hair?! That is gorgeous!! Thick and wavy and beautiful! I like the streaky thing you've done - beautiful. And the install - what's up with that? It's invisible! Really - way to go! It's gorgeous and you've done a great job.
Only suggestion might be to put some feathering or layering in the front around your face. Makes it a little less 'hippy chick,' which is not a bad thing, but it is a look. Then again, you work at a university where Hippy Chick still lives and reigns so you don't have to do anything if you don't want to. But it would look pretty around your face.
Looks very natural and I also think you did a great job. Your FinaFina hair has a wave to it and mine does not??? My fina hair is very silky and straight - like asian hair. I wonder if they sent Fina differnt kinds of hair or it's just me and the kind of conditioner I use.

Syren - especially since i have layers around my face in my natural
hair I'm putting them in now that I have the additional weft in.
I just like to have all the hair in place for sure before I start
hacking. Funny about the streaks. Its due to how the hair
came up. I dumped all of it in the same bleach and some of the
strands came up lighter than others int he same weft. as to my
own hair. I have to learn restraint. I'm doing better but
sometimes i just start chemically processing and then I pay the price
forever with ahir that feels fine but won't hold color and has a
different wave and...
Kimbearly. Mine was far straighter (though not pin straight)
before I got it wet (to color). What you see is air dried but freshly
brushed so it sits a little poofier once I move around for 10 minutes
or so. Not as curly as the hair in your avatar but maybe
splitting the difference.
I'm a little concerend about styling this in the morning especially
with it being vacation, and therefore weird water. I'm taking
only a paddle brush, looper brush, wdie tooth comb, and curling iron
with me. I just can't haul all my tools so I had to pare it down
to must haves.
Hopefully I'll get some good pics with my clip in streaks and what not
over vacation and will post them whenever (don't know what my
internet situation will be).
ugghh I'm not quite packed but my alarm will go off in 2.5 hours.
