I think it still looks fantastic, the curl seems a lot better than last time as well. Think you are onto a winner. At least if you try the Wa Wa and don't like it you know what you do like and what works for you now xx Thanks for keeping us informed that's what these boards are for so keep it coming xx
Aw...thanks. I'm thrilled with the hair overall. The quality of this
synth is wonderful, and I'm having a lot more sucess with it this time
(since I know what do do with it now, lol!). I'm definitely sticking
with PH going forward, but I'm ditching the Dome, just because it costs
more than the PH and PH has the white-blonde color in stock. As far as
I can tell, the quality is the same. So for the next install, I'll do
100% PH, but I also want to try out the WaWa and some of the other
therms, too, so I need to figure out how to incorporate those into the
mix. I don't intend to use HH again.
I'm also having much more luck as a result of the install this time.
Isaac spent a lot of time razoring and layering it. I wasn't sure about
it at first because I usually like the look of one-length hair better,
but I have to say, it wears much better with the layers and lots of
razoring.
What else? Issac also filled in any non-braided areas and made all the
braids just a bit smaller overall, which has really improved matters
tremendously. I had some problems with pieceness last time, but it's
not an issue anymore.
My only difficulties are really just due to the inherent challenges of
dealing with my own (real) hair. The braids are fairly well-concealed
in the photos, but because my hair's so thin, fine, and light, they're
fairly visible when the wind blows (my real hair just blows all over
the place, while the synth, which is heavier, stays put). Extendtubes,
shrinkies, and fusion are smaller, but I still have the same problems
with them. For this reason, I may just get the braids done all the way
to the top going forward, incorporating them as part of the style,
rather than concealing them with my very thin, weak, damaged "top
hair." It's worth a try anyway.
Same question as Kimbearly: are you happy with it? Do you plan to keep it this way for a while or do you have another plan simmering away for next time?
Well, these updates are probably getting a bit repetitive, I know, but
I just wanted you to see the PH/Dome combo after nearly 4 weeks of
wear. I've blow-dried this hair twice now (once about a week ago and
once last night). I've washed the length about 6 times.
I used hot rollers here (the 1 3/4 brand-new jumbo Revlon ones), which
do *not* create nearly as much curl as the vintage Clairol ones I have.
With the old Clairol ones, I can leave them in for 4 minutes and get
tight curls; with these, I leave them in until they cool, and it's much
looser (but I like the looser waves anyway, so...). Here, I actually
didn't leave them in until they were fully cool, which was probably a
bad idea.
Only products used since I got the hair: Dome Care Spray, Bedhead
Headrush Spray (like the Beyond the Zone Flasher Spray) and a bit of
diluted fabric softener in a spray bottle during and after washing.
