Being a never satisfied maniac, I just ordered more WaWa from Carol at Vixen Wigs. In my order, I mentioned the board and how there's a lot of interest in the ligher browns and blondes in WaWa, and this is what she wrote back today:
Quote Hi again Holly,
I will be expanding my WaWa hair line. I have some new products that I will be offering starting tomorrow. Keep an eye out for them. You will be pleasantly surprised. I have been working on the pictures and the listings and they will go LIVE tomorrow. I am sooo excited. I really appreciate your kind words as well as your business.
Sincerely,
Carol
Vixen Wigs

WOOHOO!

Party!

I was just looking at her stuff.  How does one of the 14" tracks compare total hair wise with a bundle from PH?


Posted By: Syren123
Date Posted: March 31 2005 at 3:18pm
Oh, a PH bundle is a whole lotta hair! PH is about 40" long and 100 gms (3.5 oz), so if you cut it in half, you've got a whole bunch of hair. I don't know how much a weft of 14' WaWa weighs, but it seems as if you get more hair from a bag of PH. It also depends what you want: WaWa is thermo, PH isn't. WaWa has way fewer available colors than PH. I can't decide exactly what to do, so I have both.

Thanks for the update, Syren!

This is AWESOME news. . .

after some trial & error. . . I gotta say. . .I am getting addicted to the thermal synth!!  I will always to PH in the back -- there's nothing like it for the length and if you don't have to do a lot --

but in the front - I have a combo of human, WaWa, and Ebonyonline thermal. I actually like the 2 thermals in the front *better* than the human.

Oh and BTW (sorry this is slightly o/t) Jenny: YES as Sherrie has said, the ebonyonline *does* curl/respond more with time. It's really strange. i am LOVING it though!!  Will post more pics when the updates are complete...

It was more for knowing how much wawa I would need to order compared with PH.  Iknow how much PH it takes to do my head.  But i was thinking about maybe getting two #4, one #2, and one 1B.  But I was trying to figure out if I would need half that much or twice that much for one head of hair.  I know people typically say 2 wefts for a full head but....

Yeah y'all are gonna be funny fighting for lighter colors.  And I'll just sit back and be happy to be a brunette

The 22" bulk WaWa is a full 4 oz bundle of silky deliciousness. I would imagine the wefts are the same weight?

I have made gobs and gobs of tips out of about 3 packs and have them at the ready in my hair bank. I swear, this stuff is awesome. I curled it on Monday and even after three washes, it has the best wave to it. I haven't even had to do anything but brush it.

Carol wrote to me the other day distraught that she ran out of the 27/613 in bulk. keep checking back, she said!

Hope she keeps her prices low.

Cool.  Freak that I am I have something like 3-4 bundles of PH cut into three lengths each on my haed right now.  I just got my sample of wawa from miss Syren today and its on my flocked rollers right now so I can add it to the mix.  I hope Carol doesn't follow the 'al' rule and since I have discovered the goodness of this lovely stuff she will now promptly triple her prices.

Could always try to stock up...

You know, it's not like it's human hair and there's some secret stash...it's synthetic! It would not be in ANYONE'S best interest to raise prices. There are two other sites we know of (Hair Sisters, Bella Beauty Supply) that carry WaWa as well, so prices go up one place, we ALLL bail out and take our business elsewhere. And that would hurt anyone's sales if the lot of us just stopped buying.

Good point.  Having not actually bought any yet I didn't realise we knew of two alternate sources.

My husband was so impressed with the HSF.  'It feelslike real hair.  It doesn't really look like your hair, but it feels like real hair.'

I'm off to investigate Hair Sisters and Bella Beauty Supply...

Vixenwigs is still the best price and lightning fast shipping, but it's good to have these places in your bookmarks. Bella also carries HSF, which I am DIGGING, btw!!

Does Vixenwigs put up like three a week in each color that are 7.99 and then keep a stockpile at 9.99?

Yeah I was looking at the HSF but I get nervous about the texture being yaki.  I mean clearly the wawa that is classified yaki is really silky.  And if I were a redhead I would haave someone I could dump the french refined on if I couldn't get the curl out of it... 

I should remember that I have ~4 packs of PH left in my natural colors and maybe 15 in noones natural color that I should really put onmy head before getting too excited about a new product.  Oh and enough supplies for falls that if I would just make them I could have different hair every day of the week for a month....

This is the most addictive habit.  It's worse than my makeup problem.  At least people expect you to change that everyday.

That's funny you mention it Mocha...I used to have drawers full of cosmetics...I couldn't walk down the make-up aisle without buying something.  Now I have every kind of glue, shrinkie, linky, ring, wand, hair thingy imagineable.  God forbid I run out of something so I double order.

Every new idea I read on here I just have to try...and there's a lot of them!  Some people knit...some sew...and some stick in hair

Here's A QUESTION:

I've never used weft. this item is 50 inches long...I am assuming that will be ebough for 1/2 to 3/4 of a head?

Also, if I used the "sandwich method" (I think that was Rae's tip) Can I apply it with liquid gold? And, how long can I expect it to last?

I see that carol is also selling glue and remover....anyone know the digs on those?

Sorry for so many questions, just want to get my facts straight before do anything foolish, lol.



Posted By: Jenny_RR
Date Posted: April 01 2005 at 5:20pm
Sherrie could let you know for sure--we call her the "sandwich" queen around here. But yes, I believe you can use LG. Sherrie prefers Chrissy V glue, but I think LG can also be used. :)


Posted By: amm
Date Posted: April 01 2005 at 6:12pm
I pulled up Carol's stuff and I about had a stroke. OMG!

I'm holding out hope WaWa produces #8 - #22 colors and in the 24" length. As it stands, these 20" wefts are great news!

shadwo, I don't know about the glue as I've never tried what she's selling. You may want to ask her. As far as how many wefts go, you can buy one and see if the color is what you want but I believe two wefts would be in order for a nice, full, look.


Posted By: sherrie215
Date Posted: April 01 2005 at 6:42pm

From what Ive seen in synthetic wefts (so far) is that the weft is actually thinner and less hair than most human hair wefts that Ive used. So I would probably sew a few tracks together to at least double the tracks. Since this may make it a little heavier than human hair tracks, I think I would stick to LG. I personally think LG is a little stronger bond. I prefer the chrissyv, since its much easier to work with and a breeze to remove but the LG is a stronger bond IMO. This is just what Im thinking now...I havent tried it yet! I already ordered the 20 in bodywave thermal and cant wait to get it!

The glue Carol is selling is latex, I have never had much luck with latex lasting more than a few days.

Amm Im with you on those colors. I would love to see a #12 #14 #16 and #22 all which would work well with my hair!

That would be so awesome if it would retain the wave, which was what we were initially thinking with synthetic. We all thought that it wouldnt drop its curl. And so far is the only thing holding me back from using the PH. Since I wear ALOT of curl on a daily basis. I know Id trash the hair quicker than most!

The 27 I got was more strawberry than blonde...but it deepened to a rich medium brown with the RIT dye.

FYI--when the sun came back up on the 27/613 that I dyed with the RIT, the 613 portion looked a little olive-colored and I decided not to use it. 

I had this problem once when I used some OTC ash blonde hair color on my pre-bleached hair.  (Sally's could make a fortune off me if they stayed open 24 hours--everything seems like such a better idea 'round midnight.)

I learned the hard way that with prebleached hair even brassy prebleached hair either neutral or neutral ashy but not totally ashy hair color is the only way to go if you don't want to end up green colored.

What color RIT didyou use?  I'd kinda like to try coloring some wawa to achieve a brown with subtle red tones.  Maybe get the #4 and use a reddish brown RIT.  Or get the Dark Auburn and Color with Brown.

Oh the possiblities


Posted By: metalgirl
Date Posted: April 03 2005 at 12:56am

I ordered 2 20" wefts from Vixen Wigs.  I ordered the off black/plum mix and the #4. I think the mix of the almost black and brown will match my hair close enough.

Can't wait to get it!!!!

Hey Kirsty,

RIT's an all-purpose dye available in U.S. drugstores and supermarkets that's used primarily to dye fabrics and for crafts projects. I imagine there's some U.K. equivalent?

I am SO SO DIGGING having thermal synth around my face and on the sides of my head. . .!!!  LOVE IT!  In fact I'm going to take out the Human Hair I had put in. . .it really sucks in comparison to the synth!!

I just ordered a 20" wavy weft of the 27/613. . .Yippee!!

BTW: my 27/613 HotFusion mix is almost indistinguishable in color from my 18/22 in human from GlamourHair.

I used the tan liquid dye with just a *touch* of the dark brown to give it a "base." 

The result was really nice, but still a little dark for my 18/22 natural hair, so I tried blending a few strands of the WaWa with the blonde (human hair) tips I'd already made.  It's a beautiful blend, but I'm sorta holding my breath on how the WaWa and HH will co-mingle (and hopefully not co-tangle).  I'm putting these in this week, so I'll let you know!

One thing to bear in mind: they ALSO have a "wavy" version which I'm wondering if I should have gotten: Amm has gotten this one. I just wonder if it's as hard to deal with as the straight is -- i.e. if its TEXTURE STAYS as it is.  .  .

Fina, I have 2 bags of this - HSF french refined or wave - if you want some to play with. They're colors you'll never use (dark br and black/auburn zebra) nor probably will I, but I've been doing wash/curl/roller xperiments. Let me know if you or ANYONE wants a hunk.

So far, it totally does keep its texture, but it's that big hair volume thing, not wavy or curly. You could mix it with the straight to pump up the volume for that Big Texas Hair thing. It curls, too, but in the same way as HSF straight.


Posted By: LuckieDuckies
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 1:14am
not to get off topic here or anything but i kinda noticed that the wawa hair is a little bit lighter and thinner than the ph, like the differnce between someone with fine hair and someone with a bit of thickness for example, am i just crazy or do you guys notice that too?


Posted By: amm
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 1:18am
Feh. I'm not really liking the Hot Stuff fusion. Not in the french refined anyway. It's too light and fluffy and the blonde is way too blonde for me. I put in a few strands just to test and the white blond totally stands out.

If anyone wants the 27/613 I have left (a bundle and a half, some are pretipped with latex), $5.00 takes it & that includes shipping. PM me whoever wants it.

(edit: HSF SOLD! Thanks!)

Syren: I'm confused. So the HSF wavy retains its wave, or the wave drops? :)

Per the texture, I think therm in general may be a bit thinner and silkier than monofiber. Somebody on Quinn's noted this a while back regarding the AD therm they'd purchased.

:)


Posted By: amm
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 6:38am
Jenny - absolutely. The WaWa makes monofiber feel like straw and the silky monofiber is pretty darn nice, imo.

Futura is like doll hair but still very soft. The shine is just totally outrageous, tho.

Hot Stuff Fusion in the french refined seems even softer. It's like feather soft, the kind of soft that sweeps to the side in the wind. I wonder what a whole head of this stuff would be like to wear. Oh well. Sigh. So much hair, so little time...


Posted By: FinaFina
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 6:42am

Another thing to note on HSF AND Adore:

You *can* Fry the ends!!!  OK, not like that's anybody's goal. . .and honestly I"m not sure how it happened. I can't keep my hands out of my hair -- not sure what I'm feeling for -- but now that I"ve been doing the PH replacements around the front, I feel for those nasty fried ends. Well. . .hmmm. . .I found some in the hair I JUST INSTALLED, which is HSF!! 

It's very strange. They have that telltale, frizzed out, really wirey feel that makes you just want to CUT THEM OFF. And this is in hair I put in less than a week ago. Blow dryer with brush? I haven't used a curling iron, so. . .the experimentation continues!!  I mean this is the stuff that I held that 360 degree Doc wand on for like a MINUTE to see if it would melt, and NADA. So, sumpin else is up.

-Fina



Posted By: amm
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 6:50am
Would like to add that the WaWa can get fried ends, too, and it's no stranger to the occasional tangle either.

I do not blow dry and I don't touch a curling iron to it either. I'm pretty much stumped on the ends that start to get that weird coiled/wirey effect.

What i meant is the French refined remains poofy - it doesn't go straight - after you get it wet. It DOES lose any curl you may have put in.

OH MAN!! So THAT'S why I'm obsessing about thermo!! It's finer in texture than monofiber - yes, I agree with that. My own hair is really fine, so I must be looking for something close to my own. That makes sense.   


Posted By: Jenny_RR
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 6:30pm
Gotcha, babe. And it does seem like the therms are thinner overall.

I have to day, though, that I didn't think the Ebonyline Adore was as silky as the PH or the Dome. It had a sort of "texture" to it. Has anyone else found this with the Ebonyline?

:)


Posted By: sherrie215
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 7:12pm
Yes, Jenny Ive thought that all along. The ebonyline thermal is slightly more yaki than the other thermals that Ive seen. Not much but slightly. Still not a 'real yaki' texture though you can feel it a little.


Posted By: Jenny_RR
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 11:06pm
It almost feels--and looks--like a nylon fiber to me, like when you look at it really close up, you can see that it's a textile. It's very low-shine, though, so in that sense maybe it looks more human. But I really prefer the PH and the Dome to the Ebonyline, personally. :)


Posted By: sherrie215
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 11:20pm
Yeah its a different feel. I cant quite find the words I want to describe it. To look at an individual strand I see the same things you are saying. But to look at a full bundle it is very human hair looking. Kinda strange...huh!


Posted By: sherrie215
Date Posted: April 07 2005 at 11:23pm
 Jenny...I havent really inspected tha wawa that close yet. I think I only took it out of the package and glanced at it and felt it a few times and then put it right back in. Do you think the wawa has the look or feel of a nylon fiber?


Posted By: Jenny_RR
Date Posted: April 08 2005 at 6:20am
Nah, the WaWa doesn't appear to have those nylon-y ridges. But at the same time, I wouldn't say the WaWa feels all that silky either--it feels somewhat similar to the ebonyline, but not quite as coarse. The Freetress feels very thin, silky, and smooth, and it's significantly higher-shine than WaWa and HSF. The HSF refined is sort of a strange texture; it's very thin and it looks more kinky than wavy to me, if that makes any sense. Of the three, the WaWa looks best on sight, imo. I only have some straight samples of the WaWa right now, but I ordered the wavy and should be getting that soon. :)
