So I got my  very first real order of plastikhaar.Its just as great as I thought it would be.It looks feels and moves like human,IMO.
 
My only problem,which is a big problem is the color.I used Jenny's wonderful color chart to order.The colors I really wanted  arent available anymore(since the chart was made quite some time ago)So I went with the next closest things.I wanted to match my hair with one color and use the other for highlight.So I ordered Dinkel(highlight) and dunkelbraun(my color so I thought).Dinkel looked exactly like I figured it would light golden brown.But dunkelbraun was like a dark red:( .I can still use it.But I really want to order something more in my color.Did anyone else find dunkelbraun to be dark red?Here's a pic  with the dinkel on the left and the dunkelbraun on the right.What color would you reccomend from what she currently carries in natural color wefts? And has anyone tried the Hawaii yet ,cause it is calling out to me.
 
 
Oh and dye wont work on the darker colors,I already tried,so I'm just going to order more.

The pics were very good and clear.But I cant read the labels.Is there a guide that goes with it?I tried to see if it listed in the same order as on the plastikhaar site but it doesnt.

The dinkel is georgeous and rich.

Ok, so dinkel will be your highlight color and you want to go a little darker? If you can describe the range you're looking for, I can take some pics off the color ring and upload for ya.

The hawaii is beautiful. I love the petrol grun on the color ring.

It really is a pretty color,but not even close to matching mine.
 
The dinkel is beautiful.Thank you amm that would help alot.Ok so the color I'm looking for is medium to dark brown. I would prefer more in the ashy range.
 
i love the fancy colors,but didnt want to spend too much on my first order.But I will definitely be picking some up next time.Smile

Let me get labels for them.  I know Tanhair recently ordered some ashy darker colors.  You might also want to ask her, she said some were extremely ashy.
