So, I don't have them in because I want to stay 100% Plastikhaar right now but I want you guys to see what I got.
This is American dream in #16, silky straight, 18" on a machine weft. I wanted to see how it was before I committed to a bigger order and I can definitely use this color and length for framing, etc. It's as beautiful as it looks. 
When they say 100 grams, they mean it. 
Pretty, pretty, like soft butterscotch 
For those with PH color rings, American Dream #16 = PH "Blond" 
Whatcha think, thermo luvers? ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| It does. I received an AD sample myself and, I must say, it feels very nice. It actually feels a lot like the straight WaWa to me, but I haven't done any testing with the hair (washing, curling, etc.). Just based on the look and feel, AMM, how would you say it compares to the WaWa straight? :) |

Ahh... that's pretty! I'm surprized you got straight Amm, I thought you were a curly gal?? I wonder how this will hold up compared to the wawa too... They can't be too different, no? |

Yeah I'm also curious how it will compare to WaWa straight. Of course my husband saw the Wawa last night and asked when/how I was going to wear it and wanted to know when that meant the stockpile in the closet was going on my head and.... I'm not sure that ordering a bunch of AD is a good idea for me right now. But then again what he doesn't know will only hurt his wallet. |

The burning question is of course PERFORMANCE. I've got so many fried "thermal" ends on my head I'm wondering what good it is (but then again that's the wawa body wave). It's gorgeous and I use that "Blonde" ALL OVER the place -- in fact I'm getting 2 bags put on my head in a week or so YIPPPPPPPEEEE!! In *fact*. . .if you want a co-experimentor. . .um. . .keep me in mind!! -Fina |

Fina, you're getting the AD put on in 2 weeks? ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| No, PH's "Blonde" is what I meant. (Along with Mandel, Platin, and Vanille). What I meant was if you wanted me to get a few strands "pinchbraided" in with my PH install, I'm sure Bettie would love to give that a try. (She uses heat seals and says she can use *any* hair, including human). |

If I send you a snip of this weft, will you try the AD and let us know?
I think the longer lengths in the wider selection of colors should be available pretty soon. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Hi Amm, YES absolutely I will. It will blend beautifully with the 50mm PH -- I think anyway! I'm going to try it in the front area. I'll PM you my info. Thanks - Fina |

| hi, what exactly is thermofiber? where did you get it from? it is like a heat resistant type of fiber ir something? thanks |

It's synthetic hair that can withstand higher temperature (as
compared with monofiber) It makes it easier for those who need to
use heat appliances to get there style. You can use a regular
curling iron on it as long as you don't really crank the temp up.
With monofiber (which has a different texture as well) you can only use
low temp appliances somewhat sparingly. This is more robust wrt heat. Though many of the brands people have tried have issues with the ends getting frizzy. |

Carol at Vixenwigs on Ebay sells Wawa hairsisters.com sell either wawa or Hot stuff fusion. Ebonyline has Adore... and then American dream comes from the UK but you have to call them to order there are plenty of threads ono it and it is probably listed somewhere int he 101 at the top. |

Here are some of the basic FAQ threads for thermofiber. Keep in mind
these don't include reviews and tips from the past three weeks or so
(information travels fast around here), so you might also want to check
the back threads that have been posted in the past month for more info.: What’s thermofiber? forum_posts.asp?TID=19843&PN=44 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19843 &PN=44 forum_posts.asp?TID=19836&PN=44 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19836 &PN=44 forum_posts.asp?TID=19854&PN=41 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19854 &PN=41 forum_posts.asp?TID=29346&PN=1 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29346 &PN=1 forum_posts.asp?TID=29082&PN=4 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29082 &PN=4 forum_posts.asp?TID=29061&PN=5 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29061 &PN=5 forum_posts.asp?TID=29106&PN=5 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29106 &PN=5 forum_posts.asp?TID=29027&PN=5 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29027 &PN=5 forum_posts.asp?TID=28854&PN=7 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28854 &PN=7 forum_posts.asp?TID=28744&PN=11 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28744 &PN=11 forum_posts.asp?TID=20538&PN=12 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20538 &PN=12 forum_posts.asp?TID=20582&PN=13 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20582 &PN=13 forum_posts.asp?TID=20518&PN=15 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20518 &PN=15 forum_posts.asp?TID=19998&PN=37 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19998 &PN=37 |

Has anybody worn AD yet? ... Is it like Wawa?
I'm thinking of getting some for my next install. |

It's kinda like WaWa. The texture is nicer - silkier and more like real hair, plus it comes in more colors and longer lengths. It takes hot tools well like curling irons, although I didn't find it curled all that well or at least nothing special. Also, I found it got frizzy on the ends within 2 days and I had to trim it off.
It's nice thermofiber hair. I just thought it was expensive when you consider shipping from England and the piss poor dollar/pound exchange rate, and it was too inconvenient to order. If you're still interested in ordering it, I have the thermofiber color ring and could post pictures. |

Thanks Syren ... colour ring pics would be very handy. I'm planning
to do tree braids like this ... http://public.fotki.com/dontspeakdefeat/different/my_tree_br aids/ tree_braides_018.html Shame to hear about the curl though 
I'm in the UK ... so it's harder for me to get Wawa ... so I'll give AD a whirl |

Okay I'll post pics tonight.
No no...it curls, just not in any extra special spectacular way. Like PH will curl, too, if you use velcro rollers and let it sit til cool. The AD can take a curling iron which PH definitely cannot do! It's great hair...you'll like it and it will work for what you want to do, whatever that is. Couldn't get to your pictures. |

| I did some experiments with the AD hair, and I was able to heat seal it, but the seal was not as hard as the seal with the monofiber. For the extension to stay in the hair, the heat seal needs to be very hard, so I'm not sure that thermofiber that is heat sealed would hold up in the long run. |

I have used fusion method with the thermofibre hair and it worked great. x |

I just put in a few strands using fusion of the very hair that amm posted pics of in this post (thanks amm for the snippet of hair!!). Will advise on how it wears. . .the hair is freakin' gorgeous. |
