I am so confused. I have done 3 different types of hair extensions... (on people) 1) PH with heat sealed 2) Braided weave with human hair weft from H&H 3) Eurolocs with PH Plastik Haar is working pretty well for me, but one of my friends said it looked and felt a little too fake for her... I thought it looked great but it was kinda shiny compared to her hair... I completely braided my mom's hair and sewed the hair to it. It looked pretty good since i only did the bottom half of her head, but she didnt like it after a while because the braids kept slipping out and I have no idea how to seal the french braids at the end except rubber banding them which i know itsn't correct. AND the eurolocs. Everyone says that the eurolocs damage the hair and can even snap the hair, but it hasnt happened with me. All in all, it has turned out awsome. I have tried pinch braids for a school project before and I absolutely hated them. The hair kept getting tied up in the knots and i had to rip the hair out. At least it was only on a wig...  I really dont like using human hair, and I TRY my best to avoid it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is dome great? its kinda expensive though... I think I will look for the best synthetic hair and the best extensions method and keep experimenting! ~Toodles!~ -------------  Hugs!

Well, which method is the best is really going to depend on the
client's hair and the look they want to achieve. You won't find any
consensus here. Specifically regarding Eurlocs, although they work on
some people, others have had a lot of damage with them, especially
those with fine, thin hair. Metalgirl used to use them and has stopped
because they damaged one of her client's heads so badly. As far as the synth hair goes, I think it's all very similar. I wear a Dome/PH mix, and I think the quality is identical. PH, of course, has a wider range of colors, longer lengths, and better price, so I would recommend it above Dome. :) |

alright. I think its absolutely awsome. the only problems i have found
is you cannot use irons on it, its not AS easy to use on colored
people's hair even tho it is possible, and i guess the shine factor
that kinda dulls out more in a day or 2. or maybe it was just that her
hair was extremely dry? it looked fine next to mine lol. bah extensions are so difficult sometimes lol. thanks for your inquiry! ------------- Hugs!

Yeah, it is shiny- not like fake shiny, but like very-healthy-hair
shiny, and if the client's hair isn't like that, there's an obvious
difference in textures. It's a pain in the ass, and that's when I just
use human! About pinchbraids- to keep that from happening, it's really important to keep all the hair -around- the braid clipped down really well so it doesn't get caught up in the braid or the knot. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

I have some clients who do ok with Eurolocs, and a few others who experienced extreme breakage. Overall, I don't really offer it unless they ask for it, and even then I'll tell them my suspicions about it.
