PH/Dome Install #2

Hey girls,

I just got my hair redone, and it's pretty much the same deal as last time: primarily a mix of PH Vanille 50mm and Dome White Classic. I went with the Barbie Pink in hand, but I kept vascillating about the colors....

The biggest difference is that this time, Isaac did a lot of razoring and layering. At this point, I'm not sure how I feel about all the layers/razoring, but I'll have to see how it wears. I imagine it'll encourage the wave more, but I think it also looks a little sparse compared to last time. Again, it's hard to tell, though.

:)

Thanks, Syren. Maybe it did grow a bit in the front. I have better luck growing those front pieces, for some reason, than the crown and top, which are super slow-growing, thin, and breakable. Dunno why.... :)

OK, now I really like this. I like the natural lightness of it and the way
it falls. You're very petite, Jenny, so I think it's looks very good not
being consumed by a mass of hair. The layers are going to be a
great help disguising the piecyness that's just naturally difficult to
avoid with extensions.

Congrats! Another great looking install.

Thanks, girls. I'm dying to know how this hair looks after washing and styling compared to the last install, but I'm exercising some restraint--well, at least for now....

AMM: That's so funny--it may be the first time I've ever been referred to as petite in my life! I'm actually 5'8" with a pretty large frame, but I'll take it! (The Internet is like TV--the proportions get all skewed. Every actor I've ever seen onscreen looks like he's 6', then you see 'em in person and they're 5'2", lol.)

Mocha: Yeah, it's pinchbraided again and it goes about an inch and a half above my ears, I'd say. It was probably 3 1/2 bags prior to the layering/razoring. At the longest point, I'd say it's about 28 inches. Issac cut the PH to the same length as the Dome, then blended it all together. Last time, he kept some of the PH and Dome separate so I could see if they wore any differently, but since they seem to perform exactly the same, it's all mixed together now. I think most of it has just the usual pinchbraided 1 1/2 to 2 inch overlap, but in some cases he folded the hair more to create a more layered effect. I started zoning out at some point during the appointment, so I didn't pay that close attention to how much folding over there was.

I do feel like my real hair is at an awkward length right now, and I'm wondering if some extentubes up top might help to provide more volume to my real hair and blend better. I've also considered just pinchbraiding the entire head or doing some open-ended. I'm torn, though....

:)

I love it Jenny... SO JEALOUS

ROCK ON GIRLFRIEND!!!

It looks AWESOME. I understand your concerns about the layering but I really think they are going to keep it looking the way it is now!!  Did he curl or steam it or anything -- I gather not -- this looks more au naturel 50mm wave. I think the last time he had to do a little more styling to achieve the look.

I think it's *incredible* that you can even have pure pinchbraids without needing smaller extensions around the top. The blending is amazing.

Anyway as always THANKS for your boldly going forward and sharing the results!! Does it "feel better" to have new hair??

Bridget - I was thinking the same thing - Jenny IS Gwen Stefani! I know it!!  

Jenny your hair is stunning! I'm really warming to synthetic hair as leave all the probs with HH behind!

hey jenny - i've been away or would've posted earlier

va-voom! i really do like the layering, it looks so soft and light...

i hear you about the higher-up pinch braids, i can do 99% of anything i want and the braids from my ear level down are inconspicuous; the higher ones that give volume need a little help to stay concealed. it's only been a couple weeks for me, too, so i'm predicting this will be what pushes me to redo as opposed to the hair itself.

are you gonna do anything difference maintenance wise other than the less is more approach? i have definitely benefitted from that advice you and fina gave with my own hair...

again, lovely!
