Okay so I've had this wawa in for ~2-3 weeks now. It's the 14"
straight from vixenwigs. which I measured and is actually closer to
16" but who's complaining. It's one fulll weft of the #4 (plus a little) and not quite a full weft of the brown aurburn mix. I have six tracks made with microrings. the bottom three have two layers of weft each. top three one layer each. I had had tow more further under neath but I made the trackes differently and it was a mess. too much hair and it wasn't tight to my head. So much so I took them out in traffic one day. Then I have ~40 shrinkies up close to my face and higher up my head. Including 17 streaks of PH bronze that I put in yesterday.  |

Love that bronze coming through. Looks like fire!
I didn't even know PH had this color. I need to spend some quality time with my fancy ring. Looks great! ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| It looks like your real hair, Mocha. I just love wawa #4. That bronze looks good in all that dark hair. |

It looks very shiny (but not too!) and pretty, Mocha. Bit random, but I've been admiring that bronze on the PH website for quite sometime now. In my head, it would look fantastic blended in tiny amounts with some auburn, but it's so hard to tell with monitor settings. If you have enough left and I paid you, would you be willing to send me a small sample of it? It just about glows, and I'm thinking about going back to red |
How do you find it wearing? I'm just coming up on week three with my wawa now. I find it responds a bit differently to everything than the PH streaks I have in - really have to give the PH a bit of extra love to keep it well blended. PH seemed to blend with my human hair much better. Anything special you've been doing to take care of it? And did you put those ring tracks in on the back of your head by yourself?

| Nah, Duck, I've had no probs with the PH per se, it's just that it seems to want a different sort of handling than the wawa, and since I have so much more of the wawa, it doesn't necessarily get it, lol. In particular, the ends are much more fragile. I razored them pretty heavily to blend with my layers, and that left each hair strand kind of out there to take my abuse. I have to steam those ends down frequently or they looks quite ratty, kind of like when you run the blade of a pair of scissors down a ribbon to curl it. It's not a difficult thing to do, though. Oh, and I slept with my hair in one big boink at the nape of my neck last night rather than my usual braid, and it was wonderful. After I got up, while it was still secured I gave it a quick blast of steam and then took it down and finger smoothed it briefly. Much nicer shaped than anything I've had with an iron or rollers so far. And easy! Give it a try, if you haven't yet. I'm having to train myself not to brush it so much. I've always love fat waves but my natural hair is quite straight. Brushing=Frizz and tangles :( Finger smoothing seems to be where it's at. |

I've either steamed or blown out the wawa i thinkn four times
now. the PH just wen tin snday. I've worn it beofre and I
don't think its any more or less work. I think the shine is worse in the pic than in RL. When i went to school yesterday the boys were like 'oh back to extensions' and was like. 'are you kidding me, always extensions' they had no cluse that the wawa wasn't my hair. then they started fiddling with it. they ycould feel a diff but not see it. ahh boys. (they are ~37? and 30 for the record). I think I may want to put just the tiniest bit of wave in the wawa to make it match my hair better but then I'd have to maintain that... oh and yes I put the tracks in myself. I make sure the parts aare straight in the mirror and have my husband double check the thickness. Then I just went to it it by feel. I looked at them and have to say they were pretty durn even. But I think rings are really easy to do by feel in general. maybe I'm nuts. can't do shrinks by feel OW! crap was that ll the questions? |

omg omg omg, is that the Bronze color that's metallic??? YAY! The
swatch looks awesome, and I saw on the ring and -knew- I had to use it
at some point. I'm glad someone else likes it too! How metallic is it
in your hair? -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

omg omg omg it is the bronze color that is metallic. and
yes I can send whoever asked a sample. I have some maybe 10 inch
lengths setting around.. It is noticeably mettalic in my hair (one of the genius boys did notice it) but I think its secondary to the fact that the color just doesn't match the rest of my hair. So first you go 'whoa she has some crazy streaks' then a minute or two later it might sink in that they are mettalic. Is the silber mettallic too? I don't have the fancy color ring I just wing it usually. umm as far as care. little flasher here and there. I've blown it out /steamed it like 4 times. I'm out of a bathroom supply of fabric softener so it got like one dose early on and nothing since. try to sleep with it ina ponytail/bun. I think because I left it straight it is far easier to manage. I did accidentally singe a bit of it blwing it out last week. the temp control on my dryer is a dial that I accidentally bumped with my had or a hair brush or something and moved it from setting 3 to setting five and all of a sudden I had a clump of melty hair in my hands. fortunately it was near the ends and I just cut it out no biggie. Umm combing morning here and there during the day and trying to at night. I'm being super lazya nd it seems to be working. The wefts are so flat to my head. especially now that they are a little grown out. I do have trouble with a ponytail fit for public appearance. the wefts will not lay flat when oriented the wrong way. and I put the shrinkies darn close to my face with pretty big tips since I'd already figured out that the wefts were a serious up do encumbrance. I'd like to figure out a way to attach the wefts (a track pattern) so that I could do the updo thing. hmmm |

Yep, the Silber is metallic too. As for updos, yeah, that's the main problem withwefts. Maybe have them pointing straight back, so the hair falls back-and-down when down, and back-and-up when up? -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

I was thinking of making the track pattern on an angle... I'm not sure how I would sew the track straight back. I understand what you mean I'm just not sure how to accomplish it. |
