Elite Thermofiber received

You were right.





I did it with fabric dye at various percentages, heat and color using #613. It doesn't fall out or bleed. It can be done but color control is way tricky.

Wow that's mint, well thanks Amm I received my 5/9 blend for my underneath which matched perfect.  I also received my 10/16/27 which was a little warm for my hair but when I mix it with the 613 its pretty darn perfect and it mixes so much easier than human.  I can't wait to get this in.  I'm installing next Friday, oh no that's Friday 13th lol oh well x

i'm in the middle of making some clips, and the one's from shrinkies.net are rocking my socks.  they're small and hold incredibly well and comfortably on my slippery fine hair

I'm absolutely gutted.  I bought the 10/16/27 with some 613 thinking that if I blended the two together it would match my hair but the blonde is just too light it doesn't match at all so I'm trying it out on a client.  I've just installed my regular bohyme.  I'm well disappointed, but I'll be sure to post pictures of my client when I do hers x

I second the color dillema of the 10/16/27 blend. I bought two packs and put it all in yesterday, and colored my own hair as close as I could get it (even with highlights) and it just doesn't blend. I really, really wanted to like it because it's so much cheaper and lower maintenence...but I just can't wear it. It's too obvious. My unobservant boyfriend even noticed, *wince*.

when i first got the hair, i danecd around with it like i always do with new hair.

"is that the new hair," my darling asks.
"yep!"
"can i feel?," he says with a curious look.  and i let him.  "wow!  this feels like real hair!"

and i happy dance some more!!

This smiley is so cute!!!

  

Ok Chloe, your noggin or mine this time?  I'm liking the thermo, no not liking it,  no I mean now I am.  You can't beat the way it holds curl, maybe I'll get some of that hospital shampoo from grandpa next time hes admitted and then I won't have to shampoo as often. They're saying it makes a difference.  Can you get into the nurses lounge while I divert attention? I've got to make this stuff work it's just too convenient.!!!  Guess I could just make it easy and order off ebay.  Your hair could use a little sumpthin while we're working, haven't put my finger on what yet.

Sorry - I posted somewhere else but better put here, I used AMM's Elite Thermofibre 18" in color #5 and blend #5/9.  I used 4 rows in the pic above with 3 wefts per row.  Each row had 2 of the #5 and one of the blended 5/9.  Next time I'll get a brown with red blend to better match my own.  I didn't like the SIZZLE method using the hot curling iron to curl it as I worried about my own getting all that heat.  I had seen Sherrie's post on how she had used hot curlers and that worked very well for me.  The curl is softer, easier for me to manage during the day and lasts until the next wash.  There is still some body left after the next shampoo, but I prefer to recurl.  My synth ends tend to get dry into the 3rd day between shampoos, but behave again when I rewash. Just wish could get longer lengths of wefts!!!
