QuoteReplyTopic: Install: Pro-Flex & Sew in Posted: November 11 2005 at 3:18pm
This is my first install I`m sharing on here, so that means you guys get to see me natural hair which BARELY anyone has seen.
first is air dried, the second is ironed out. i still can`t get the damned thing to lay flat. it`s horrible -_-.
so, first i used the tape on the whole thing.
... but i still didn`t like how it looked, too bulky on top because of my natural hair. so i took them out, and instead of tape, i did a regular sew in on the top half of my hair, but i still used tape for the bottom half-- that stuff sure does like to stick ... and this is what i ended up with:
the brown is human hair, just some cheapy stuff i got, then the black is the synthetic BioXhair that I`ve been using lately :).
Yowzer, it looks awesome I absolutely love the auburn hair in there. How much hair did you end up using? Don't tell me you sewed the hair on yourself did you?? If you did you've sure got talent!
Btw, I think your natural hair looks great, nice and thick.
thanks!!!!! i used one pack of the synthetic on weft, and then i sewed & taped in bits and pieces of the brown, about a couple ft. worth in there.
yeah, i do my own sew-ins . i got my first one done on me a couple years ago, then when i saw how it was done, i figured i might as well do them myself and that`s what i`ve been doing since-- i`m a die hard sew-iner .

WOW! That looks amazing! I LOVE how the brown peeks through the black - so much prettier than those stark streaks people paint on (no offense to streak wearers - jmo). And you mixed hh with synth?! Whew - it's just awesome looking!

you can! that`s what i love about that synthetic-- it doesn`t melt or get all nasty feeling when you apply heat. it irons out straight and it holds curl pretty good, just make sure the hair is wet and then use a hot iron then let it cool first. this is what the hair looks like curled-- of course it has the brown with it, too, `cause i wanted to see what it would look like:
Also kelena (sp), can you explain a bit more about ironing the hair, I may be getting some pro 10 which can also take heat, but i like to do flicks with the st8 iron on human hair, do you think that proflex will do that and what is the shortest length.
Sorry for all the questions, just interested

sorry for the super long delay-- i`ve been sooOo busy with work & school-- i`m completely swamped!!!!!
to answer questions.. i bought the hair at a small local hair shop in my area, so i`m not sure exactly how many retailers are out there that sell it. the only length i saw at that shop for the straight wefted ones is 14", and i failed to mention this before, but i use a yaki texture with my hair. they also had the hair in bulk and different curl patterns as well, but you can still curl the straight hair and it holds it great. straight ironing, i don`t have to wet the hair before hand, but when curling it then i do.
to update... after two weeks and 4 washes, the wefts on the backs are holding pretty good-- none of those have come out yet. i had put a couple of the browns in to compensate for my short bangs, but those two had slipped out. the hair itself is holding quite lovely. i iron at least once every other day, and the end are still like they were when i first installed the hair. sometimes i forget that i had put in synthetic and not human, haha... the first pic is pre-brown slippage. the second is post slippage (and bad lighting).

Hi there Kalena, hope you are well. My freind and I are on a quest for some good synthetic hair, we are fed up of this so called remi acting like horse hair. lol. I found Eve Biox hair on line here: http://store.goldenmartbeautysupply.com/evesybiha.html
So we are going to tru that, I already liked pro 10 and we are also looking at freetress heat resistant and normal non heat resistent batik.
Are you still wearing synth,if so which brand. I'll let you know how we go.

i have thin fine bleached blond skandinavian hair, and im thinkning of getting a sew-in to give my hair a "rest" My hair is not at ALL slippery, i make kinda "cornrowish" braids for fun some times (they are not so linear) and they stay in until i unbraid them...
Any if you have any experiance with sew ins on caucasion hair? ive seen loads of gorgoues african women here with them, they look great!^^
