Since I am going to be embarking upon the extensions soon, I was wondering what is the best hair type for extensions. Most of the girls on here look like they have super straight hair...even if it is baby fine like mine. I don't think my hair is ever that super straight (without killing it first with the blow dryer and then a straightening wand). Will my semi wavy/frizzy hair work with extensions? I'm not a crazy person when it comes to concealing them but I would like to have as natural a look as I can. Any suggestions?? ------------- Never gesture emphatically with a taco in your hand. |

| Naturally wavy, curly hair, looks awesome with extensions check out Marie's new french refined on todays board with pictures. Honestly, I think naturally wavy with a wavy textured extension looks the most natural, it's at least the easiest to blend, and the least trouble to cut and style. The thing is to buy the texture that best matches your hair. Sometimes that means buying a few textures or different brands to find it. If I were you I'd look at all the old photos with brand names and texture descriptions to find the one that looks the most like your natural hair and go from there. cheers |

And if you mean that you have hair that is slightly wavy rather than stick straight I'd highly reccomend 50 mm wave plastikhaar. the wave is slightly more than my natural hair and blands fabulously. |

Yes, extensions work on any texture of hair, but they have to match the
your own hair in texture. If you're in-between two, choose the curlier
one, because 1) the curl may drop slightly and 2) curly/wavy hair is
often slightly straighter in the top few inches, because the weight of
the hair is pulling it straight-so it looks natural to have your own
hair on the top slightly straighter than the extensions. And my suggestions for inspirational photos: anything that RoseRose has posted. I recall in particular a Bohyme deep wave (human) and a Plastikhaar 28mm curl (synth) install. Both were amazing. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

How did those two installs last in the deep run, I don't recall. Rose? Your input? ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Rae....did you get the email that I sent you a couple of days ago?? My hair is sooo weird. Sometimes it gets a little frizzy but it does have a natural semi-wave, especially when it is wet. Great suggestions on this...I will definitely need all this advice!!!

I kept getting the PH wet and the texture became crunchy so I took them
out after only a few days. The colors were SPECTACULAR though. First rule of plastikhaar/Gremlins DONT GET THEM WET! |

Well I'm not much of a swimmer...and I don't enter wet t-shirt contests as a rule  ,so I would be ok in that department. I just had a bad experience with the synthetic hair years ago with it looking too fake. I'm sure the synth hair today is of a much better quality, but I am still leary. That's why I am here!! I'm trying to debate on PH and HH. Can you get a nice semi-wave with HH?------------- Never gesture emphatically with a taco in your hand. |
