Thank you very much! I never would've been able to pick without
this. A couple q's for the AD knowledgable: 1) Does the french wave wash out? 2) Weight of each bundle? tia! |

Well, I don't know much about this at all, but I think Syren posted some of the prices on the other thread. AFAIK, there's not really a "soft wave" (at least in the way that I think of a soft wave) available in the therm. I see it in their human har, but not for the therm. The closest is the French wave, which looks like more of a standard S-wave to me. It's somewhat comparable to the glamourhair French refined, by the looks of it, but I could be wrong about this. :) |

The catalog says the wefts run as follows:
18" = 100g 36" = 200g 60" = 400g Metalgirl said her wefts are 60" wide. The French Wave looks alot like the pictures of French Refined I've seen for Bohyme. The Switch Wave is a tight crimp look. The catalog says only the straight and switch come in wefts, but Metalgirl has gotten updated information so I think this is no longer true. Thanks for the pics of the colors, Metalgirl! |

American Dream wrote this to me when I inquired if they had synthetic wefts in lengths of 36" or greater:
We do Dream Switch, is it 24" long when folded over. but it is only for braiding, sorry we do not do any synthetic hair that has a weft. Sorry..... Regards Mandeep So, there are no wefts availble in synthetic from what I understand? |

eehhh |
thats not making any sense. Do you think maybe he wasnt including 'thermofiber' in that category?Posted By: Jenny_RR

Huh? That's not what their catalog says. Of course, Metalgirl got an
18-inch weft, but the catalog actually says there are wefts up to 60
inches long available. Perhaps their catalog is outdated, though. I have to say, this "no Internet site, no online catalog"-thing is a real hassle. I also don't understand why Metalgirl's ring doesn't include all the colors the catalog says are availalable in therm. I'm all for trying this hair out, but it's going to have to be something really special for me to continue to order from AD. The cost, including shipping, isn't cheap either. :) |

SAS- You are just the endless river of knowledge, aren't you? Keep in mind that the 18" thermo weft was 60" wide, and the other longer length wefts may or may not be that wide. Just like with human, you know a 14" weft will be much longer than a 22" weft because the weft of the longer hair is in the length and not the amount of it. I am going to order some AD hair for myself soon. The color I did order is blond, and I got that with my friend- client-guinea pig in mind. I did receive my WA WA soft body wavy weft from Vixen, and it looks good. I do think that so far the AD feels just a little bit softer than the WA WA, but the real test would come after a few washings. |

Metal: THANK you for posting the color pics!! However - a
question - are you sure the colors are "right to left"? Did you mean
left to right (looking at the screen)? Thanks again - Fina |

is this stuff thinner like the wawa is? oops sorry already answered ;p |

I believe it was supposed to be the opposite way! Left to right Fina, from what I can tell!

I bet the wefts are all 60" wide because the weights they give for each of the lengths of hair increase - like 18" is 100g, 36" is 200g. 60" is 400g. And the prices increase geometrically. I'm taking this as an indication of all lengths having 60" wefts.
SAS! Thanks a million for the clarifying phone call. |

I'm glad someone else thinks it should be left to right not right to left. I'm pretty sure I want 32 and/or 33, not 15 and 16. Syren, I know you have hair similar in color to mine. Do you think the 33 looks to light to go with #4 or #3? I've almost made a decision and will PM soon. I promise. :)al |

No, I don't think 33 looks too light. Looks just right. I'm getting the 32 chocolate brown, I think, and maybe the 340 cupric brown (as a possible 'glint' color), plus the color ring. I'm keeping my order small cuz it's mainly for comparison. If this hair turns out to be really great, then I'll order more colors. But for now, I'm getting silky straight in a color not available in WaWa that I may actually use. |

Yeah that's why I'm looking at the 32 and 33. I was thinking the 33 would make a good 'glint'. Though I'm also wondering about the 340. It looks quite a bit lighter though... Decisions decisions what lengths are you getting? |

Mocha, I'm just getting one weft of 18" straight in those two colors. If the 340 turns out to be unworkably light, I have a bottle of dark brown Rit sitting right here, plus some other hair color to take it down a couple of notches. It's dyeable, remember?! Well, we'll just see about that, won't we.

This is a little O/T, but did anyone see this on the AD website? (I
assume it applies to their human hair, but it's not totally clear: Permanent Curl Almost all brands of hair extensions do not guarantee a permanent curl - usually the curl will drop out over time due to washing and wearing. Through thorough research at the American Dream Laboratory based in London, we bring to the market a permanent curl - you can wash it over and over and still the curl formations remain as they first appeared in the packet and that is one of the reasons why AD is known as a superior brand to all its competitors! I wonder if this really lives up to the claim. Has anyone used it? :) |
