Anyone who can help...I can't seem to get them to load in this post.
So while I'm waiting for someone to help me with posting pics...let me tell you about my very first weft install.
I ordered the french refined hair from Glamour Hair....and it is beautiful! It feels great....it looks great....and no tangling...yet...
Well....it was as easy as everyone said, once you got the hang of it and deciding where to place them and how many to put on each pro-tac tape. I love this quick method...for now... just trying to figure out what to do come this summer and being in the swimming pool...maybe I can learn how to braid tracks and sew them in...we'll see about that later....but for now....LUV these!
The only thing I don't like is my color....I got a darker color weft than what I wanted..I was going for a #27 with some #613...but this hair which was wayyyy darker...and I'm scared to color it. So...I decided to color my own hair to match...which it does... but I still like my other color better..anyway....It all blends fantastic. I added a few shrinkies in the back at the top and a few on the sides.
I haven't washed it but I'm hoping for a strong hold with this tape method.
Now this hair comes in really curly..well a scrunched curly.... and all I did was run my curling iron down it and then curl it...it came out rather well for my first time I think. The last two night I just twist my ponytail and then put it in a bun at the botto of my head and the next morning let it down and big wavy curls....I could go without really havinfg to do too much to it if I had to. I think I have found the type of hair that works for me. Let's keep our finger crossed on that one.
BTW.... this is only 4oz of french refined and maybe 20 strands of lush hair. The frech refined goes along way with bulk. I may even take some out in the back.
I'll post pics as soon as I can figure it out.
------------- Thanks, JeepGirl Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great! |

| You can use a site like photobucket.com to keep your pics on and then copy the URL into by clicking the tree button. I can't get the tree with blue arrow button to upload photos either, must be something wrong with it. |

Thanks..... it is dark.....just don't think I can handle it. I ordered without a color ring because they were out of them for awhile. I'm really thinking about trying to color this french refined....just scared to mess it up. But the thickness and body of the hair is great....I'm telling you....if you want lots of curl and body...and... you can twist it at night and pull down great looking hair with just a brush out and add some IC/fantasia serum....full body without little work. LUV IT!! ------------- Thanks, JeepGirl Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great! |

Now how did you you get those pics loaded? You are great...THANKS! I'm computer challenged most of the time..lol!! Frantic...my hair is slightly past my ears on the sides and just below my shoulders in the back....I'm letting a permanent straightner that fried my hair grow back out. So needless to say my hair is so damaged that I had to cover it up...not to mention I look horrible with short hair.

Well I lost my bottom row on my first wash and the small ones I put in the side....and the back row is loose in the middle and on the sides...I put shrinkies on the ends for now. I am going to orlando tonight and need them to hang on until I get back Sunday....I have some LG. How hard is it to get the LG out? I was thinking of adding some to the middle to help them hang on. I guess I couldn't expect it to be perfect my first time installing. I made sure I rubbed them back and forth and even put some blow dryer heat on them to help stablize them. Do you think the heat made them not hold? I thought it would help...it's the only thing I can think of that would of caused them to not hold. Any thoughts? ------------- Thanks, JeepGirl Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great! |
