Yippie! Sounds good. The hair is quite nice. Like I said, it's a bit shiny (the blonde more so than the white for some reason), but I like it and I'm optimistic. I still need to play around with the stuff more to figure out how exactly I need to handle it.

Did you get the classic texture, too? (The texture is quite pretty, I think.)

Have you tried your Dome hair yet? I just checked their website and $28.00 for hair and $23.00 for shipping..yikes..but if its good hair that will last for a while it might be worth it.

I've been playing around with it, but it's not actually in my head yet, so I can't predict how long it will last. Obviously, Dome has an excellent reputation.

That said, PlastikHaar also has a great reputation and would be more cost-effective. Why don't you try ordering from them?

What about Trimco from Hairpolice? Ive heard good things about them and their in the states so shipping shouldnt be huge. Their site dosnt say how long the hair is tho.

Also I was just remembering that synth bulk hair is usually folded over. If you could unfold it without making a huge mess, you would have some seriously long hair.

I checked out the Dome site, I saw the heating tool they use. Is the hair just melted into your own or do they use some type of ring or something?

Hey Emma,

Trimco would be a good choice, too; the hair is good quality, inexpensive, and they even sell mixed bags (so if you want several colors, you don't have to order several different bags). The thing is, their hair only comes in straight, so if you want wavy, you'll have to look elsewhere. PH by the way, isn't all that expensive for shipping--nothing like what Dome charges. I don't know the length of Trimco offhand, but I imagine it would be long enough for whatever you want to do.

About the Dome heating tool, no--the hair is definitely not melted into your real hair. With the Dome method, your own hair is box-braided and the synth hair is then heat-sealed on itself. It's quite a complex process, usually requiring two people, so I would not recommend trying to do it yourself.

You can use Dome, Trimco, PH, or any other brand with microrings, shrinks, braids, whatever, so I would stick to those methods, if I were you.

:)

lol, my husband is just getting comfortable with micro rings, if I asked him to try to braid extensions in his head might blow off, Ill just stick with micro rings, or shrinkies if I can get my tubing to shrink.
