alright so my first order from rk was great but i ordered the straight thinking that it would match the wave of my hair but my hair is just a little bit wavier. so i order the bodywave and wait and for them having to process it and all its actually not such a bad wait.. just like 1 1/2 weeks. so my issue is the color... heres the picture of the straight 24 i ordered
and heres the color 24 bodywave i ordered and its being compared to the 24 colorring which actually does pretty much match the straight
.... just a little bit darker and brassier i would say *sigh* the bodwayve itself is a beautiful bodywave but when i did get the hair it smelled strongly of shampoo and a little sticky so i just washed it im waiting to see what it looks like dry. i think i will have to make another order in the 22 now which wouldnt be so bad if not for the wait again and the 40 dollars more for the shipping. damnit! im pretty sure everyones gone through this more times than me it just sucks =\
*edited to add some more pictures |

| can't you tone the bodywave? to take out the brassiness? |

| i dont know? i always thought everyone said its not a good idea to try to dye your extensions lighter? even if i got the brassy tone out of it i would still have to do that because it would still be darker? =\ |

| RK hair tones really well...at least the #4 I lightened and toned is just as silky as it was out of the bag. Can't say for sure what will happen with your lightened and PERMED hair, tho...although a toner should be okay, one would think. Just be careful and watch it closely. |

| oh my this hair lightens beautifully... the only problem is the dye i bought was a gold blonde so i think im more of a beige so will need to go buy other dye but i managed to get it up to a lighter version of the color and the hair feels wonderful even after the dying process |

That's great. I think it's in the big RK thread a page or two back that
I mentioned I thought the color ring was more of a guide than a sure thing. I've ordered the same color and gotten two varying shades each time. I took a peach-toned blonde and turned it beautiful with Clairol Radiance Colorgloss in 8GB Lt. Golden-Beige Blonde. Even for a colorist-impaired person like me it was super easy. Be careful with yet another color change. RK has responded well for another lift but I turned a section slightly crunchy with the 2nd. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |
