WaWa Install

I just wanted to do a FINAL review of the Wawa thermal fiber.  I wore it for 4 weeks. I only done a temporary install and couldnt push the bonds another week. But the hair itsel held up wonderfully, it was starting to get a little frizzed on the very ends, but I think a trim would have make it good for a few more weeks.So over all I think this hair used with the sandwiched glued in method would have easily lasted 5-6 weeks, but Im not sure beyone that amount of time.

It has its pros and cons. I guess it just depends on which things are important to you.

These are the things that I liked. 1.. curls that last through washing. I only curled this hair I think 3 times in a month. I stepped out of the shower with a headful of curl. SO styling time was minimal.My daily hair styling routine was cut to a quarter of time that it takes me to style this much HH and curl everyday. 2...the wawa thermal is so inexpensive so if you are intersted in a quick and easy install the 2 bundles of hair for $25 including shipping and a few small bottles of LG and you have an inexpensive install...heck I could afford to replace this hair once a month!

The things I disliked: The feel of it...it just doesnt have the soft silky feeling of human hair. Im still working on finding a remedy for that. And I hope I can..but maybe its just a trade off, Im not sure if there is an answer to make it feel like HH. Or it may just be a matter of finding a product that works on this synthetic, but fabric softener I just thought made it feel heavy and weighted down. 2. I had to brush this hair out more frequently throughout the day than decent quality HH. other wise it did get tangly and bunchy, the easier way to brush out was with a squirt bottle of water, it brushed out quit easily that way.

So thats my final review on the Wawa...overall I give it a thumbs up, and when Im not worried about what someone else (like a man ) might think about how my hair feels..Ill use wawa again!

yeah I'm an hourglass shape like Sherrie, and the standard loose tshirt just makes me look boxy. I'd like to get hold of some of those!!!

LOL...gsmilie I wish I was old and married...Im old and single (unfortunately) and its getting harder to try to impress somebody!

I really am not sure of the weight of wawa packaging compared to HH. The wefts of 20 inch were like, maybe 52 or 56 inch width? something like that?

Ive noticed the rubbery feeling on the unsandwiched wefts too....and yes Im sure its from the bond breaking down. I would push them as long as you can go, the rubberly consistancy isnt going to hurt anything, probably just annoy you!

Yes I will definitely use Wawa again...I will keep looking for the solution to make it soft. Fabric softener or the conditioners that Ive tried just seemed to make it feel yucky and heavy...soIll keep searching for the answer on that!

My next install will be HH again. I am just starting to date a guy and I really dont want him to feel my hard feeling hair this early in the game....LOL He loves my hair...and I definitely dont want to turn him off the first time he touches it!  

But I will start some off head experimenting with trying to find the fix for softness....I did find that using rollers helped, and maybe if I had not curled from the start with a curling iron it might be softer...but Im not sure on that one yet. When Ive reset the curl I steam my hair using a brush and brushing the steam through the hair using a fabric steamer and set in velcro rollers and then steam the curlers and let it cool and that really made a difference. Maybe if I had used steam and curlers from day one instead of curling iron...it would be softer.

But if it werent for the dating new guy thing....the trade off of soft and silky for easy styling would be well worth the trade!

ok...thought it might be time for a wawa/LG update. Its been three weeks now. The hair itself still looks great. I still havent found the formula to make it soft though..LOL Wish I could figure that out...Id be in heaven with this hair. I steam it out about once a week and then reset the curl and Im good to go for another week, with an occassional touch up here and there on a curl or two, but most days(I shampoo everday) the only thing I do is blow dry the top and a little underneath and then curl my top...and Im on my way! Easy Breezy.....LOVE that!

I didnt sandwich the wefts except for the top rows. One row I touched up with a little dab of glue cause I didnt use enough to start with. The bonds are about shot at this point and its time to redo...so I got three weeks out of 'unsandwiched' LG bonds. Not bad really!

Here is a few updated pictures...one on Monday and the lavender shirt photo is this morning!

I shrinkied on pretips that I had blended. The #613 is to platinum for me and the #27 is to dark.  I blended some of the #613/27bulk hair previously for shrinkies and came up with what Id compare to a #22 and #24. So those are what I shrinkied onto the #613 wefts. The color blend turned out great and it looks like natural highlites/lowlights.

MK I have 7 rows, but its about double amount of hair with the shrinkies added on. And once you put curl in this hair, its there til you straighten it out. It doesnt wash out or drop like human hair.

Bridget yes there is some shine, but I dont think its extremely shiney.

The little bit of shine doesnt bother me at all, the only thing I dislike is the feel of this hair. Its just not soft and silky like HH. If I could find a way to make this hair soft like HH I would be a WaWa user forever. I love the fact that I step out of the shower and have a head full of beautiful curl.
