Fina Is the hair here?!?

I am also interested in buying some of this hair from you if you have more, or put in any more orders. Thanks

well my package still says it scheduled for tomorrow but it left the UPS center where I know it comes her directly from so...

ooh that's really an awful mess with the prepostitions.

Okey Dokey. I got my hair yesterday. Just really getting a chance to play with it now. :)

It's pretty. Between a 2 and a (dark) 4 I guess, depending on what chart you use. I'm in the process of lightening it, and the hair that came out after my first strand tests last night felt silkier and looked shinier than the hair did right off the bat! Which had been my only minor issue...it had a bit of a texture to it which did not affect the way it "hung" but seemed to make it tangle a bit. Now I'm sure that was just residue on the hair from whatever they washed it with before. It's just like Fina said - not quite stick straight, but not wave either. I was actually expecting more of a wave. I has enough body I think it will hold a curl well, though.

I'm lightening it with kalideocolors beige powder and 30 volume. Test last night took it to a pretty warm brown, but I need it a bit lighter, I'm trying to get to light auburn. Leaving it on a bit longer right now. Plan on using a demi on it after wards, so I can just color it with my normal hair. (I stripped the black out.) Taking it to a 5, maybe? Well see, lol.

The wefts are very interesting. So tiny and neat! I considered just wearing the wefts in my hair even though I have already ordered shrinkies from amm, then remembered I'm not brunette anymore and the thread is black . For those of you concerned with the length lost while wefting, if will be very easy to get it back. This weft you have to handle gently, gluing off the ends when you cut it. But you can just sort of tug on the strand of hair at the cut end and it slides out rather neatly, along with the folded over length. Not too much fuss. Doesn't bother me, I'm short and don't wear my hair as long as a lot of you, but some may be quite pleased with this.

I'll post pics of the strand tests when i finish with them. Can't wait till you all get your hair and start posting results

update:

here are the three test strands I dyed using the kaliedocolor and 30 vol. Left on for 25, 40, and 60 minutes. Didn't really use heat except to wave a hair dryer over it a couple of times at the beginning. I tweaked it in photoshop so (on my monitor, anyway) the colours are almost true to life. The 60 minute one looks a bit lighter in life, I think. With the red demi, I believe they'll make a nice spectrum of natural looking colour. I'm quite pleased . I'll add more pics as I add more dye.

I've had beautiful results with dying it as well. The hair is really strong and keeps its shine.

Anyway - in case any of you hadn't seen my earlier pics of the weft itself, here it is. In the meantime the supplier tells me they now even have a *more* superior, *smaller* microweft. He is going to send a sample.

 

I got home
I had a package!

My husband is a little grossed out that it's *real* hair.  I saw a couple nits but I need to go out anyhow so I'll pick u a flea comb.

The color almost dead on matches me to begin with.  It's a tiny bit darker but I think I can either color my hair alittle or just let my hair look like highlights.

of course I'm not actually sure when i'm going to wear this hair...
And the texture is perfect too.

Something i never asked and I don't know how to tell since this is my first HH.

This is remy?  aside fromt he fact that it would tangle how do i tell?  Put it under a microscope?  That seems tedious.

:)

Oh I forgot to mention Fina that I got the hair the other day, it is beautiful....and what a great surprise! now....Im just gonna need some help bleaching this up to a light blonde!

Got my hair today too.  It did have some oily stuff on it so I washed the hair before I lifted the color.  The hair is very shiny and very straight :O(  Fina, I do not think that this is Indian hair but more  Asain.  Indian hair that I have bought in the past has always had a wave to it and it curls on the bottom; this is mostly straight.  What do you other's think? 

okay at the risk of sounding silly.

I have read that asian hair has a round cross section and caucasian (which is what indian hair is) has an oval cross section.

back to the microscope idea.  shouldn't we be able to prove one way or the other somehow?

I doubt the scope I have easy access to is powerful enough but I have to go in today anyhow so what the heck. 

I'll check for cuticle direction and round vs oval.

Does anyone know, amm, what cinderella hair from afrocare is?  I have a sample of that I could compare to...

Additionally I am confused as to why Indian hair is supposed to be curly.  I know many Indian women.  About half of them have straight hair.  And these are not people that I think will spend serious time with straightening irons.  Okay yes the rest have varying degrees of curly hair but...???

Thanks for the offer Fina but I have not given up on this hair yet.  I just love the hair.  I love the feel of it and how shiny it is.  Since my hair has a wave to it I was thinking about doing a very loose perm on it so it will match my hair.  Are you getting wavy Indian hair anytime soon?
