Asinnamon is right, Indian hair is lighter. I think you would be fine using clip ins with the LG. Wagman sends samples for free if you're interested in that. Also if you order from Wagman and for some reason you think it's the wrong hair (color or texture) you can return it. They have excellent customer service.
I didn't know Singer is selling hair. She's lovely and I'm sure you would get great service from her too.
You are beautiful! What an adorable boy! What do you use shampoo and cond. on the hair you have in this pic? Do you use anything before you blowdry? thx! Im new top long hair, and Im having a hard time styling it. I like to wear it like yours.

You know, you may want to try an indian hair. Both dlux & tease are asian hair, which do tend to be heavier and give less volume for the weight. Have you ever tried indian? I know the hair from www.reallyloveit.com is getting good reviews. Plus, there is always wagman primus which puts out a very good product w/ a super weft. You can find that at www.wagmanhair.com , it's the prefect tress line and you can get it in different colors too....
By the way, you are beautiful! And kudos to you on the volunteering, what an excellent roll model you are!!

Thank you Sherrie! Maybe I need to find a texture that gives me maximum volume with less weight. I really wondered about the pictures. How is Bohyme for volume. Gosh, I wish I could see one of you experts in person. My local people have nowhere near the amount of knowledge you do.
Thank you fakeizme, you always have great advice. I know I keep saying that I appreciate you guys but I can't overstate it. I am in the process of moving across the country and have little time to search for extension advice. You guys give great unbiased reviews and it doesn't cost me anything.
I don't use a lot of product since I am always afraid of stressing the hair. I also thought about using less hair when doing a LG install and making clip ins to add volume when needed. I prefer straight low maintenance styles but when I am in character I need hair that could pass for porn star hair (yikes).
I bought a pack of Freetress Futura in brown that I am going to install temporarily while on vacation. I am going to do a coupl of rows at the nape of the neck to help hide where my darker natural hair shows through a bit.
(I'll try to post a pic)
Do you think that I dould use a synthetic in a clip in to add volume if I "hide" it between wefts of Bohyme?
I need wearable hair for my everyday life. My character visits are usually only 2-3 times a month at the most.

MissDeanna. I wouldnt try synthetic if I were you. In the line of work you are in, synthetic hair may look too shiney. In photographs it can be even shinier. And synthetic hair does not feel like human hair, so if you have little girls touching and feeling your hair you definitely dont want synthetic hair.
......I have also thought about trying synthetic hair to save some weight. With the thickness that I need my hair is super heavy. I usually wear 10-11 ounces (thank goodness for wefts, GL Cinderella, microlinks in that thickness hurt to sleep on). Lighter hair would feel so good if the texture weren't unbearable and the shine too unreal. I am a Realtor and I don't wanna look like Realtor Barbie.
This is where Sherrie from hairextensions101.com comes in! She knows all about wearing a lot of hair!!!! She is the expert you have been looking for. We love you Sherrie!!!
You may have a good idea with the synthetic; Wawa isn't overly shiny. Although, you may find the synthetic can't be worn as long and is tricky to curl. Hope the D-Lux works out for you!!!
could you please send me the number to your hair shop .com i'm having a problem because i placed an order and was notified they dont have it any more and I dont want any replacement so please any help would be greatly appreciated a.s.a.p. before they ship out the wrong hair thanks a bunch

I can't wait to get it! I will definitely let everyone know how it goes. I am a little concerned about the D-Lux packages containing less hair. Since I do the princess thing I have to wear an insane amount of hair.
I really want to do Bohyme next time. I will definitely need some expert help with color selection.

I found a phone number after doing a couple of searches on the net. It was not easy to find. She was extraordinarily nice. They are sending me out D-Lux extensions to replace the Tease extensions. I really hope these work out.
Thanks again for all the advice. You girls are the best!
What a relief! Please let us know how the new batch does.

MissDeanna, have you considered Bohyme? Its a bit more expensive, but is very good quality. I am #613 and Bohyme always performs very well for me. I have tried MANY brands, less expensive and more expensive and always go back to Bohyme. I just havent yet found anything that will perform as well as Bohyme for me.

No, I didn't see a phone number listed under the "contact us" link. There is an email addy for appointments: appointments@teaseextensions.com. Unless the website has changed there were no phone numbers listed.
Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I appreciate your loyalty. Every good business should have customers like you. I have also praised the positive aspects of my experience. I did, however, receive hair that is not suitable for use. I also stated that I have not received a reply to multiple emails. Just the facts. I am aware that problems do occur and people make mistakes. I know that many people have had wonderful experiences with YHS. That is why I chose YHS to purchase hair for such an important occasion.
If you would be willing to pass along the contact information or share the link to where it can be found that would be fantastic.
Thanks again

I am guessing in all your hours devoted to this you never saw the phone number for Kristin's new salon on the website. I am sure thats why she hasn't responded, as I think it just opened. She is a great retailer - give the salon a call and talk to them. I just phoned them to see if they had something in stock that didnt show on the site and they were super nice. It's called Tease Salon in Costa Mesa

I ended up investing over $500.00 in bad hair and a constellation of products to try to salvage it. My financial resources devoted to volunteering took a big hit with this mistake. I also spent hours and hours that could have been spent with my own children. I wish that suppliers would appreciate the impact that bad hair has on our lives.
....
You know...anyone else would probably laugh at that last statement, but I think we here, can ALL relate and nod our heads!!!
So sorry to hear this hair can't be saved. I would also say that Bohyme would be a safe bet, although it may be a bit pricey at this time for you. Also, I hear UniqueWiiv (cheaper Bohyme option) which is NOT Remy hair, is supposed to be pretty good for short term installs. I'll be you that just about any non-Remy hair would do better than the Tease hair that you had in. Hopefully Kristin will still respond to you. The only thing with synthetic (I find) is the shine! It might work for a Barbie costume though! haha. WaWa is not too bad.

I have come to the sad conclusion that here is just no saving this hair. I tried everything. I just ended up with heavy, oily looking tangled hair.
The shedding is horrible. I have no need for GPS. I can be found by following the trail of blonde hair.
I really wish I would have gotten a response from YHS. I am very disappointed. Maybe I will get a response yet. I am getting less hopeful.

This brings me to a dilemma. I need to take this hair out and I have a Barbie visit tentatively scheduled for Wednesday early evening. Where can I get quality hair at the best price very quickly? Since I wasted my money on Tease extensions my budget is tight.
Should I try synthetic? I have heard they feel horrible but I might be able to deal with it as long as they would hold curl, look decent and not tangle too badly.
I so do not know what to do. I need the guidance of an extension guru. Any advice would be so appreciated!

I use the 'Cowboy Magic' on any hair that I find tangles badly. Got it off Ebay. It is pure silicone and works pretty much like John Frieda and many other serums, just more potent.
MissDeanna, I wouldn't invest a ton of money in fixing this hair.
It would behoove you to put your money towards hair that will last. For now, I would keep emailing Kristin and see what she can do for you. Perhaps she will replace it with a better batch.
