Ahh yes the before picture....

Products I used?

uh for the Hair its Bohyme silky straight hand tied wefts in 18" I used 14 of the 16 wefts (7oz?)

I used uh...oh, Liquid gold to bond it, only the "bottom" only I didn't "sandwich" cause I didn't want the LG color to show though...

To tone it I used;
Creme Toner by Clairol Professional in 323(d)
Extra-light Platinum
Base blue-violet
( I bough it at Sally's for about $3-4)
Like this picture but 323(d)-->

I poured it into a bowl, then, used 30 volume developer by pouring it into the empty creme toner bottle so I know it would be 2 oz also, then I laid down the hair and coated it with the mix, I let it set for 20 minutes. it DOES turn GRAY while its processing!
I used 2 bottles of these for all the wefts (16 in all)

I am actually on my way to the bathroom now to tone it again, as it's still too yellow for me... (i'll post pics once its done!)


OH! And I just got my Powerlon in uh, Sneiz weiess or something, from Plastik Haar OMG OMG OMG I love this hair soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! I am going to use some as highlights, Seriously its so beautiful! I love the powerlon!

Poose, your hair looks fantastid! Great job!

OKay, so I put a blue base (301D) in with 20 vol, and let it sit for 30 minutes AND IT DID NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
ARG! They were out of my 323D so I had to get the 301D ....now I am going back to Sally's to see if they have it in stock, but I probably won't do it till next week anyways......arg.

PERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!!!!

there really is no reason to use such high developer- all u mainly want to do is deposit the color. using 10 vol should do it perfectly. with 20-40 deveoper- you first are opening up the cuticle, stripping off some color then depositing the color u want. if it is already so blonde, u do not need to lighten, just deposit the toner.

Yeah, I should probably invest in some 10 vol., but I usually never buy it (normally I dont need much toner) but it looks like I will need more now.

And i'm gonna assume that you naturally have dark hair... (you can slap me if i'm wrong)--- Yes, my hair is a very dark brown...  but i saw NO telltale sign whatsover of you having wefts in -- good job!! --  So my question is this, HOW?    And it sounds like you went up pretty high w/the wefts on your head? -- Yes, very high, I have to blow dry the top a bit to make it look right. And a little hair spray... So part of your isntall was liquid gold and what was the other part? No, I just justed LG on the bottom of the weft, I didnt do the sandwich thing.  And are you able to still hide the wefts (especially in the crown) when your regrowth comes in? I guess I'll find that out! I know I'll probably have to remove them and then bleach and reapply. I am okay with that.
