The thermofibre is really impressive and was really easy to wash (minimal tangling) and drys pretty quickly on medium / hot setting with hair dryer.  I did make the mistake though of straightening the hair with GHD straightening irons (not that the thermo needs straightened but my hair certainly does).  As GHD's are over 200 degrees and thermo can only handle 180 max, i brought on the results on myself as you can image..

Not to worry though as im taking it all out and re-doing it again and i will not exceed heat of 180

it can only withstand a certain temperature and i frazzled it by an extra 40 degrees.  I think ill give my hair a break before i re-install as its starting to get to a length i like

This is the first thing that I was taught about synthetic hair.  You cannot use metal curling tongs on it, and you cannot use metal straighteners.  It takes a long time to put synthetic in, especially if you are using the plaiting, winding, heat clamp method, which is the most popular way for synthetic ******, (which is the highest grade of synthetic hair), even so it can't take that sort of heat.  They havn't come up with any synthetic hair yet that can take such a high temperature.

If I put ****** extensions in a client's hair I always tell them to straighten their own hair, at the top, and let the ****** air dry naturally, that way you don't frazzle the ****** by mistake.

If the Profiber hair, which I believe you sell on eBay, is comparable to Prostyles (and just to clarify, it is not actually the Prohair hair that's sold by the Prostyles company--although the name is somewhat misleading), then no, it would not be thermofiber. The quality is not very much the issue; it's the melting temperature that more relevant here. FYI: Some popular thermofiber brands include WaWa, AD Therm (what Shel is using), Hot Stuff Fusion, OPH, Freetress Futura, and Ebonyline Adore.

I'm not trying to start, or continue to, any drama here, but it seems obvious from your past few posts that you have a vendetta against Shel, which is causing you to be rude and insulting to her. For the record, this is not the place to air your greviances.

Gah, Ive done that before with some lower grades of synth *cough bss synth*

And Ive found you dont really need a straightning iron for synth, just let your hair down and give a quick blow dry, it straightens on its own :)

Mochachip.... GHD is a company well known over here in the UK and has fab straightening irons. (Everyone loves them but at around £100 each they are quite expensive).  They have the highest temerature that i know of.  

I put the synthetic thermofibre extensions in to try them out for a customer who was thinking of getting them installed.  She wanted to know how they coped with all normal wear and as i hadn't tried the hair before i told her i would try some myself then let her know.  As GHD straighteners are very popular over here (and most people use them) I thought i would give it a try (Even though i knew the thermofibre can only withstand 180 degrees) so i could tell her my experience.

God i feel i have to explain myself big time!   

EDITED TO SAY......MOCHACHIP Im so so sorry if you read my above comment and though i meant you! Hell no, chick! I mean "God i feel i have to explain myself big time" is refering to this hot dog lady who was is on a mission to distry all of my posts. 

I was just reading it back there and realised this.  Sorry chick - that comment is for hotdog (lol)

for the record...i only reported details of a personal experience which i still stand by very strongly as i feel the company in question was rude, unprofessional, not interested and legally in the wrong and wanted to warn other people of my bad experience. 

Whether all the ebay customers get preferential treatment (coz they can post a neg feedback! and i actually order by phone and paid by credit card!) or that the company just doesnt want to have to refund for faulty goods then who knows?  But for sure it is negligent and unprofessional!  I DO NOT wish any carry on through this board especially through the company that ripped me off!  They have no place to question my anger!  Which remind me, they havent replyed to my letter!

I wish to continue using this board to help and discuss products, methods, good & bad companies etc and dont wish predudice for it.  Especially by the negligent company!  If the company in question has a problem then they can write to me directly re this. 

My letter is the one heading...DISTANCE SELLING REGULATIONS...etc!!!!!!!!  Im sure you can find it in your file as it was sent by recorded post. 

NO MORE POSTS RE THIS!

(sorry lady's had to get this off my chest!)
