I am slowly but surely making progress. Turns out I need to be in Atlanta next week for work, so I looked for an Atlanta-based extensionist. BINGO . . . I found a woman who not only is Dome-trained but was a Dome teacher!!! I told her I'd like to bring my WaWa and PlastikHaar to her -- that from my understanding PH was comparable to Dome (THANKS JENNY for all your knowledge on this). She was thrilled to find out about PH and said no problem -- bring it on! She's a hair nut and can't wait to see all my goodies!! Oh yeah - and the charge for the whole head since I'm bringing my own hair - $275. Now I gotta pray to the FedEx gods to make sure that PH is here by Wednesday!! I'll keep you posted -- I couldn't have done this much without y'all. But I'll save my teary-eyed acceptance speech for after the installation! FinaFina |

Bridget, I got my hair done by the Dome method one time and the extensions started slipping out immediately. Within 2 weeks, they had all slipped out, after I paid $400. Did the stylist just not install them properly, or is that method just not good for fine, thin hair? Thanks! ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

question: if the dome method is dont by a box braid then heat-sealing a bit of the hair onto itself... how will that work with the heat resistant hair? ------------- |

The Dome method is, by definition, done with Synthetic hair. The lady doing is said it's different from pinch braiding in that it's more like a 4-way macrame stitch. I'm basing my thought that PH can be used in place of Dome based on Jenny's experience. Kalika, I'm gonna WOW you with my pics cuz I am SO BOLD I'm going to actually POST my pre- pics. . . YES. . .me with NO add-on hair (and this is also how I have to travel to Atlanta on Thursday morning -- maybe I'll wear a WIG!!). I'll also have her take in-process pics, and then, of course finals, then sexbomb photos which will no doubt be inevitable. Boldly goes, Fina ------------- |

Yes after playing with the PH hair, I am definitely going to use some heat-resistant synth (WAWA) on the top layers. Wow I love being my own guinea pig!! Fina ------------- |
