I just got my Dome hair via DHL this morning, and it's nice...not much difference, really, from PH except WAY curlier but hard to tell just from the fiddling I've done. It does have a bouncy wave, tho. We'll see how it does. I really should have gotten the PH 50mm and Dome Classic but I was afraid that it would go pin straight right away. So far, it has not. I'm having the same problems as Jenn with the frizzy ends and kinda coarse feel, but am working on it (blowdryer, rollers, got to get a steamer)..
But back to the Dome. I absolutely HATE BULK HAIR! Just fingering through it, it's already shedding like a dog...makes me not even want to attempt to tip it cuz I know the mess I'm in for! I may just try to sew it on the sewing machine between 2 pieces of tissue paper to make a weft. I just can't face another mess with bulk hair. I just can't. Oh yeah. And I got 2 bottles of Dome Care and a bottle of the conditioner. Hopefully this will tame the wild beast. |

I do that, Amanda! Plus it already comes with a real tight band around it. I don't know...maybe I just futz with it too much. But you have to unwrap the curly hair to separate out strands to cut, and that makes it tangly, so I brush the ends, and it sheds and sheds. I'm going to sew it into a temporary weft like I saw on a dollmaking website. That should make it a little bit easier.

rather than brush to separate how about spraying it with whatever
product your use (dome care, fabric softener, etc) and finger combing
to separate the curls. WIth afirm rubber band I have next to no
shedding with 50mm PH this way. |

| I understand your pain. I'm having the same problem with PH. All I want to do is separate a strand, but I have to carefully comb it and comb it some more to get the one section free. |

For WaWa I tape down wax paper, leave the hair in the faux 1/4 of the
way down weft then glue it. I wait atleast 15 minutes before attempting
to do anything, to give the glue time to stick to the waxpaper. I've
found that the glue helps keep the remaining strands from getting all
mucked up. I have decided that there is just no way that I can get away from throwing away some that got tangled up. If Sara decided to let us be her PH distrib's lets think about carrying wefts! |

It's not a matter of bulk sucking and wefts being good; bulk is fine if
you know how to deal with it. Always hold it by the loop at the center
(where it folds over), and make sure the hair stays together at that
point. Or, if you're using it as one length, hold it a few inches away
from the ends. When you want to separate out a bit, pinch off the
desired amount with one hand, securely hold the rest of the hair with the other hand, and slowly pull them entirely apart. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
