Ok, so this is my latest install, I just showered, it's still WAY too curly, and I am still trying to f igure out this blending and stuff, so I know it doesn't look great, but I wanted to post a quick pic and get some feed back on it!
BTW: Does anyone know if they sell something to slightly loosen the curl without completely straightening it?? That would be perfect, I'm hoping this washes out slightly...
Anwyays, here it is!!
And a halloween inspired pic of me and my boy just for sh*ts and giggles!!!

ooo NakedEye, thats some seriously TIGHT curls!....i was first going to say shampooing with a clarifying shampoo would make the curls drop some, but i think this is a new brand of hair for you (and we never know what its going to be like with a lot of shampooing!).......i think maybe if you tried a heavy conditioner left on it for a while ( im guessing here, feel free to NOT take my advice !!) would help loosen those ringlets a little AND work through your antifrizz/leave in conditioner........i hope you work it out !

The title of your post is hilarious.My husband calls this boardand my many hair magazines my hair porn.
Is that the french refined?The texture looks different than the French refined I've seen before.Kind of looks like a kinky curly.That would be hard to mix unless you had natural tight curls.I dont know if that will loosen.It looks like a wet and wave.Only thing I can think of is to recurl the hair with a large barrel curling iron.Its a very pretty curl pattern.Makes me wish I had natural curls.

Thanks ladies! Nursie, I wasn't sure about trying that shampoo, I thought the same thing as you! First I was like yes, that would be good! Then I thought it might make it frizzy and crazy! So I've resisted for now, when a few pieces fall out, I might go and try it on those.
I also used ALOT of conditioner in the shower today and combed throught it with a wide tooth comb then put leave in after. They are really soft and silky, but still so tight!!
Asinn- I tried the other day when I installed just pulling a flat iron through some of the layers. It helped, but it still looked wild!! I was in a rush, so I'll try that again later!
Long- I love hair porn, I feel like such a freak, but my bf too sees me in the morning on here and I will show him pictures and discuss the pics with him, he looks at me like I am a total nut!
It's not french refined, they called it "california curl" I thought it would be like that wave extensions usually have after washing, but a little tighter, which would match my hair perfectly, but I was so wrong!! But yeah, I would love to have more curls naturally too.
I am also going to straighten and curl with a larger barrel this weekend, I will try to take pics and show you guys how it turned out.
I've never had so much hair before in my life though! This stuff is so thick, you can't imagine, I love it!

That looks beautiful! My bf always puts up with my hair porn talk, too. I think he might secretly be a saint, lol. But, then again I have to listen to him talk about sports......
I love those curls... I used similar ones years ago and had them braided in all the way to the top! It was massive!! It did calm down some after some washes, but then I'd run and get them done again lol .
I think with curls like that it will look more "natural" if it sits higher on your head. Especially with your own hair being not that curly- am I making sense?
If you go to my website you can click on "pictures" and then the "darling nikkie looks" so you can see what I mean. Second row all the way to the right. Don't be alarmed: it is huuuuuge hair, but just done and ready for stage (I'm a performer). I used to get 4 packs of hair in!! Grace Jones loved it . Of course this is exaggerated but in moderation it might look quite natural.
Besides that you can see lots of pics with my hair in different styles: curly, mohawk, bald, anything... I'm what you might call a hair freak! lol
I learn to love and try to understand everyone I meet. I see the rainbow hiding in their eyes.
Darling Nikkie, I checked out your website and pictures....WOW! Im impressed! And you are such a camellion with your hair! And you pull off every last one of those looks.
I wish I could be so creative....but it would never fly at my dayjob! LOL
Thank you Sherrie, that's so sweet! My last crazy look isn't even on there: that one you can see on goddessofdestruction.com... now that was amazing. Walked around like that for a few years but when I got pregnant I shaved my head ...ah those pregnancy hormones!!
Yeah, I need creative hairfreedom so I'd need a job that allows me to be freaky Thanks again!
