Which is best depends on what you want the hair to do. If you need to style your hair with a straightening or curling iron every day then you probably want a thermal like Wawa or Ebonyline or Hot Stuff Fusion. If you need hair that has some curl/wave to it to begin with but won't need to survive heavy appliance use PH has a huge range of colors and can be ordered in practically anycurl you want if you can wait for a special or der or comes standard in Straight, 50mm wave, and 28mm curl. Other monofibres (plastikhaar is a monofibre) like Dome, Trimco, Prostyles may have slight advantages or disadvantages over PH I don't know. If you wash your hair (particularly in the case of PH/mono) in cool water rather than hot you can avoid losing the curl quickly. Even if you do lose it in the mono's it can be put back. You can use a curling iron on it but you have to be more careful. The numbers? As in color numbers or 50mm, 28mm? 1 = Jet Black 1b = Off Black 2 = Very Dark brown 4 = Dark brown 613 = Light/platinum blond. OR 50mm is hair that the diameter of the curl is 50mm. ~ 2 inches uner its own weight it is curly like that at the ends and wavy headed to straight as you go higher up 28mm has a curl of diameter 28mm 1 1/8" Lots of people like combinations of different synths say PH in the back and thermal in front. Ask more speciffic questions I shall try to provide more speciffic answers |

Thank's that's a great start and really helped sort out some of the info I've seen. Curl patern -didn't eaven dawn on me that that's what the number refered to! I cant wait to give it a go since my bohyme shed out so much, What a waste!! I think I would like to save a few bucks and try this I hope it bonds well with my epoxy I'm loving that stuff!! By the way I'm a #4 warm brown is there one company that has better colors than the others. Thank's again I love this site

PH curl sizes (thanks to JENNY who found it on that maze of a website!):
http://www.plastikhaar.ch/bilder/curls.jpg - http://www.plastikhaar.ch/bilder/curls.jpg Marie, if your weft sheds - Bohyme or any other - put superglue along the weft before you install it (let it dry first). That's almost a given with wefts. They shed like a big dog or small fuzzy cat. As far as colors...girl, welcome to the club. It's all about research. You should see the BOXES of hair I have of all types - synth, hh, straight, curly, wavy...and all in the dark browns like you. The most beautiful colors I loved the most - a real deep coffee brown and a gorgeous REAL chocolate - was by Trimco, but I don't like the texture of the hair. But...it's a standard by which I judge other hair's colors. My suggestion is to go back and read lots and lots of posts on the board (it takes days). You'll learn a LOT and give yourself time to figure out what you want, what's out there, what's been done... The long and winding road. ------------- |

Thank's guy's ! at least ordering this and getting a wrong color wont result in my morgatge being late!!!! My sheding happend when I used latex and coated it with nail glue for shrinky install. Now I'm using epoxy no shedding this stuff is strong!!! I can't wait to try synth.. Allthough a client of mine with virgin hair my color let me keep the 10 to 12 inch pony I sniped off her!! I wish it was a tad longer its soooo soft.
