Had to share this one with you guys, this was my first experience with installing extensions in afro hair and I loved it, it was soooo easy to section, no baby hair to deal with getting in the way he he. Anyway after 9 hours work and 8 ounces of bohyme black diamond yaki perm colour 1 and 4 ounces of bohyme silky straight colour 1 on the underneath these are the results, yes a whopping 12 ounces of hair in here!!! he he

Great job girl That is a lot of hair ! I had a cliant for many tears who wore 4 bags in her head. Wait till you have to take down and install. We did it in two days.

Amanda, is there a reason you used both silky and yaky hair? Does that make it more manageable? It looks good and very thick. And that young lady has a great smile. =) |

Samantha, her hair was very strong and we used shrinkies xx Leia - the reason I used Yaki and silky straight is because I ordered the yaki from ebonyline from the USA and only ordered two packs. I ran out as I hadn't ordered enough so I moved some of the yaki rows up and put the colour 1 silky straight underneath from the UK LOL xx thanks guys xx ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

oh I like a lot! I have never done extensions on someone with kinky hair, do you think the texture/thickness made it more of a challenge compared to caucasian hair? |

| Gawd, she's gorgeous, Amanda. I wonder how the weight adjustment to having that much extra hair is? (I figured you had just put silky underneath to help with tangling? lol what do I know.) Awesome job, though. |

Kalika - god yes, I kept thinking, oh my god, I'm never going to be able to do this, how the hell am I going to cover her hair, but because her hair was so thick we were able to work right up to the parting.xxx ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

| Amanda that looks soo good! I'm curious how the shrinkies will hold up on afro hair, has she had shrinkes before? & OMG that's a lot of hair! Your work is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing! |

Amanda THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!! Well that gives me some inspiration! My hair is about the same length as hers, but more on the wavy/curly side. Now that I've seen shrinkies actually done on afro hair, I think I might go ahead and put my own to the test!!!! So far I've only done sew in tracks (my sister does them) and glue in (myself) which I don't like. Anyone in SoCal want to take on the channenge??? =) |
