Hello all you wonderfull ladies.

If was reading old post, and found this, written by Sara from PlasticHaar:
[.....]now about the curls:

at order (big order)
ANY sizes of curls are avaible..
3mm, 5mm 7mm 55mm 43mm whatever you want!
for me 50mm and 28mm are the best to keep in stock,
50mm is more wavy thats why i call it wave,
its like the dome or prostyle, it has a natural kind of wave.
the 28mm is more curly but still very natural.

so if you want anything else then 500mm/28mm
i can order that for you!
min. order quant. is 5 pce each style and colour
and you'll have to wait a couple of weeks.
i always have pending orders in asia but it takes time to shipp
the stuff : ))

So what is the difference?

Hey Synne,

Those numbers refer to the curl/wave pattern shown here:

AFAIK, Sara generally stocks straight, 50mm, and 28mm, but the others are available via special order (which I think take longer to fill). The 50mm is a nice, loose wave and pretty easy to care for; the straight is also very easy to care for. I think the 28mm may be a bit harder to look after because it's such a vavavoom curl.

Good luck! :)

Thank you soo much

.

If I post pictures of my hair, will you be able to tell if it looks strong anough to put in a lot of synth hair (I like it big

)?

(Edit: Bad spelling)

Sure. I can't imagine why you hair wouldn't be strong enough, though (unless you have genuine hairloss/alopecia issues). I have the thinnest, wimpiest hair imaginable, and it works fine.

If you are concerned about the weight, just don't go too long (mine's like waist length, which isn't all that heavy, although it's a bit much to manage).

Here we go. No styling, just airdryed

First time around i would like these colours in a curly version, but same lenght (pic found on PlastikHaar website):

Thank you for your advise

Synne; Your hair looks fine like mine. Synthetic would be a great choice because it puts less weight on your own hair. The first time I washed HH I about couldn't hold my head up from the weight. PH is so light I can barely feel the difference, and I have a lot packed in there. I love the PH red picture you have posted...great colors, great style. Those shades would be perfect in your hair, but it's always fun to change.

Wow Synne! Is your hair naturally curly like that? Sooo pretty!

If you want to stay red (you should - it's awesome), I have something that might work for you. I can send you a sample if you like.

Ooooo, does she ever!

I looked at that curl link and that 45mm wave sure looks pretty. Has anyone ever ordered it or worn it? Maybe I'll order that on a weft. I have about the next 18 installs preplanned here.

Synne,

If your hair is still as curly as in the pic above, I'd definitely recommend the 28mm. :)

Jenny; I took those pictures yesterday, so it is that curly

Syren: I would be delighted. Do you ned any money for shipping? I live in Denmark.
And thank you for the nice words. It is a perm, because my hair just can�t figure out wether it want to be curly or not!!

In my lower neckhairline, when it rains, I get these little spiralcurls. When I was a little girl (and natural blond), I always had a high ponytail, people would come over and say "oooh thats sweet", and touch my hair. Sooo irritating when you are 7 years old

Synne, PM me with your mailing address. Also, what are you planning to do - red curly? Because if so, I have some ROCKIN red curly synthetic. I'll send you samples of the 2 colors I have and you let me know if you like it and think it will work for you. Don't worry about the postage for the samples.
