Elite Thermofiber received

I received the thermofiber today from s*******s and have put in several wefts.  I bought three colors, 613 (platinum), 9 (dark ash brown) and the blonde mix(Not the strawberrry blonde one).  I love the texture, and it is unbelievable how much like human hair it is.  It is like Russian that a friend of mine has in. The blonde color mix that I got is too reddish/orange, so I am going to use the other colors and the mix chart on their website to bring it down some.  This blend is way to red for me (I am more neutral/beigy blonge).  The instuctions for curling were missing but I know they are good for it and will probably email them to me unless someone on here could help me out.  I'm telling you, if this stuff holds up as good as it came in this is the ticket to the big one! We'll see, let you know. Any other feedback on Thermofiber?

It's (#9) a beautiful color but too dark for me.  I wonder how this compares with the plastikhaar, it offers alot more of the blonde/sandy colors.  Do you know how to curl it?

I just went ahead and paid the extra $4.00 and got mine overnight.  I did email them already late this pm and asked for the instructions.  I love love love the texture, I used some Redken hot set and a hot curling iron just to test if I could get the curl in and it barely took any so I know this isn't the way, but if I can get a little bounce in this stuff like they say-I'm in love!  I wonder weight wise if it is lighter than real hair?   I made a few tips too and put a few low lights in.  It glues and shrinks just like real hair.

That is so kind of you, can you imagine not having to curl your hair for days?  It looks so healthy.  How are you going to put yours in?  I was thinking about doing the technique that is on the LG site, you know where you glue it in and then cut off the weft?  I've done this with some other small wefts that I made up myself and sealed them up with some clear nail polish and then I could remove them and use them over again.  But as cheap as this stuff is....You are going to croak when you feel it. 

DivineDiva a few posts down is showing a plastichaar install.  Have you seen the beautiful blonde girl in the magazines for Pantene hair products?  I'ts barely shoulder length and has huge barrell curls?  That's the look I'm after.  But right now I'm looking more like Wilma or something.  Any help here guys on a cut or style or placement etc., Poor ole baldie can use some consulting over here.

Terribly sorry for the oversight. I just sent them to your email.

When using a curling iron, thermofiber curls when damp so be sure the hair has been moistened with clean water. Any other questions, please feel free to contact me directly by email.

Sorry I don't know about WAWA but I think someone addressed it just a few posts ago in another thread.,  I can't figure out if this stuff is so perfect -heck even better than real hair-why it is not more popular.  I'm thinking it has to be because it is so cheap and there is not nearly as much money to be made off of it.  I guess it's like cubic zirconia's-no one knows but the wearer but I sure as heck would'nt wear one instead of my carats!

oooo i have been interested in this hair, im just not sure about the colors...im so funny about the color of my hair, i wear a combo of 24/27 and sometimes some 14 in there..you mentioned the blonde mix is a little too red, i need a gigantic pic of it !

Yes, I think you need a smaller iron and make sure the hair is real damp. Then after you take the curling iron off, don't move the curl until it is cool. After it cools off, it should be set.

Hi Leila:

 

It's probably too soon to tell, and I cut mine to about a 12" length so I almost never have any problems with tangling anyway.  HF looks like hers is alot longer than mine so she'll give the scoop I'm sure.  I woke up this am and my hair looked so sexy just getting out of the bed.  I just wish there was a ready made medium  non- gold blonde to get my hands on.
