One month ago, http://www.boogiemama.com/album/albums/synthetic%20hair/red3.jpg - my hair was bright red and with extensions . I got very tired of bright red very fast. (like I didn't know THAT would happen!) So, I used a high lift tint that took out the red and put in some synth hair. Prostyles natural texture #20 #21 and #02. The pics aren't the best, but you can see what it looks like. My natural hair is shoulder length and layered a bit. First pic is after being out all day with no brushing.    ------------- http://www.boogiemama.com - boogiemama.com |

Ok, thats it, I am going blonde. My hair now is exactly the red you had, SPFX Nuclear red and cherry bomb. What did you use to get it out? Bleach i'm sure, right? I love your new hair!! ------------- |

No! No bleach! It's amazing.. I used Colorly SSG, it was way too gold so I went over it with SSB. Hi lift tint, 40 vol. first time, 20 vol the second time. That red comes RIGHT out. It's kind of an unknown secret. Good that I didn't sit with the SFX under a dryer this time so it was easier. When I had fuchsia pink hair, it took forever to get rid of and I had salmon ends. ------------- http://www.boogiemama.com - boogiemama.com |

Umm, so you are saying that I can get this SPFX red out with out bleaching??? And just use a hilift blond color instead? I don't get it but then again I am a bit typsy. ------------- |

Well, I suppose it would depend on how many applications you have on there, if it is over bleach and if you sat under heat to set it. But definitely try it, it does work. My red was over lightened but not bleached hair, no dryer and just one app. We are off topic, am I going to be yelled at? haha. ------------- http://www.boogiemama.com - boogiemama.com |

so natural! that is a thing of beauty! thanks for posting - the thing that is fascinating to me is that the "layers" are pretty inconspicuous and blended ...i guess that is part of the secret! ------------- |

Boogiemama, You use Prostyles, right? Does it stay in the hair well? I'm set up to take the class in April? On your website, it says that you sometimes use spirit gum for extra security. Where / how are you applying that? I'm very tempted to come up there and have you do my hair. My husbands parents live in Mount Vernon, so we could visit them and get my hair done!

RoseRose, I do not dye my eyebrows. When it's red or pink I use lipliner. :) Metalgirl, Prostyles is great and lasts a long time if cared for and applied properly. I already emailed you about the other stuff. ------------- http://www.boogiemama.com - boogiemama.com |

You look beautiful and your hair looks very natural. Do you have pinch braids? ------------- |

Hey, thanks everyone! The hair gets better as time goes on. Kimberly, they are not pinchbraids they are heat seals. I don't like pinchbraids, I feel they are too large of a connection. ------------- http://www.boogiemama.com - boogiemama.com |

Heat Seals? How do you do that? ------------- |

It's so funny because I looked at that photo several times and never even noticed the heat seals until Rae pointed them out--now, that's tiny! So, why are heat seals smaller than pinchbraids, beyond just deciding to use less hair? Is there something about the loop/seal itself that makes it smaller? Are the boxbraids themselves allowed to be shorter because the seal gives it extra security? :) ------------- http://www.beautyaddictmag.com - www.beautyaddictmag.com |

The attachments are smaller, just because they are. It isn't necessarily using LESS hair, just making smaller more abundant connections. It takes longer to do but the end result is fuller and not as "piecey".
Pinchbraids are entire strands of the persons hair and entire strands of added hair. The way I do it, I have synth and the clients hair incorporated into each strand of the braid in even amounts. (I don't do boxbraids) The braids are shorter because there is less hair that has to be braided to make enough turns to make a good connection. ------------- http://www.boogiemama.com - boogiemama.com |

Aha! I get it now. Those strands around your ears are so tiny, they could probably be placed just about anywhere on the head with success. Thanks, Boogiemama! ------------- http://www.beautyaddictmag.com - www.beautyaddictmag.com |
