Thanks girls for being so helpful, so it all boils down to
preferences. Good to know there's a lot of choices!

Rae- great pics!
What ProStyles told me, is to change the curl of the synth only
within 2 weeks after installing.
So if I installed the natural body, my client cannot spiral curl it
after 2 weeks. They say; " only change its texture while it's
still fresh"


Have you girls spiral curled straight synth after 2 weeks?
{Sorry for sounding so stupid, I wish I could do more practice,
but synth is not so popular with my clients }

Well, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "spiral curled." But in general, I don't curl my PH or Dome at all within the first few weeks, because I order the PH 50mm and the Dome Classic, both of which stay wavy for about 2 weeks (or one wash). Then, after the second wash (at the two week point), I reset it with velvet-covered hot rollers and rawk that look till the next wash. And then, at 3 or 4 weeks or so, I'll blow out the ends to make them smooth and then reset it again. I've curled the hair at 9 weeks, and it was fine.

I used a curling iron on my first PlastikHaar batch, after testing the iron and the heat (some irons are just too damned hot or inconsistent). I curled it while wet. It works quite well, but you really have to be careful because the risk of singeing the hair is pretty good otherwise; the curl it creates is very stubborn (which is a good thing if you like it). But generally, I just use the hot rollers instead, although I have a set of jumbo Velcro rollers, which I'm planning to test with the blow-dryer cap in a few weeks. I'll post pics afterward.

Thanks again, Jenny!

Spiraled curl is the very tight curls.  I'm sure if you can reset the curl after 9 weeks and had no problem, than that Prohair "do not curl after 2 weeks" theory must be wrong.  I hate it when these hair companies scare me like that.

Thanks for your time Jenny,

Charlene

Hey Rae :)

I kept hearing so much about this forum that I had to join! It's much more user friendly for me than the Quinnster board....honestly, I've never participated over there because the black backgrounds and neon text drive me crazy [I feel like such an old lady complaining about backgrounds and text color...heh]
