This is an old subject. A while back leia posted about some "organic hair" thingie but was having trouble finding it on-line. Hair sisters is carrying Sensationnel's PRO-10 brand (endorsed by Brandy) and I just ordered some to give a try. I'm going to Atlanta next week to get heat seals done with synthetic hair but was looking for something relatively heat-resistant. (I've fried monofiber more than once as I've tried to get my own hair calmed down to "match" the beautiful synthetic hair.) I'll report more. . .hopefully this link works!! http://www.hairsisters.com/new/ViewDetail.php?product_id=2637&cflag=1 - http://www.hairsisters.com/new/ViewDetail.php?product_id=263 7&cflag=1 |

| Got mine today!! I ordered the straight and hopefully it keeps the curl through washing like the wawa! I ordered #613 and #22. The 613 is very very light, like most synthetic #613's. The #22 is perfect for me! I may have to order another package of the #22. I havent had time to untie the weft from the package, but it looks like I may need 2-3 of the 24 inch wefts. Gosh it is LONG!! I love that! It feels a little strange to me, but then... I havent played with synthetics for awhile. Ill have to play with it a little bit later and check it out more! |

your right ccross almost all of the thermal fiber hair that Ive tried has been called yaki...but was very very silky. This pro-10 on the other hand is more a bit coarser feeling. Ive had a chance to play with it a little and Im not quite sure what I think of it yet. It feels and looks more yaki than silky....but it is very pretty. It actually probably matches my hair texture better than the silky textures that I generally use. But Im just not sure if I like it...will probably have to actually put it on my head before Ill be able to actually say if I like or dislike it... It curls just like human hair, does not need to be wet to curl (like the wawa) but also drops the curl as soon as water touches it...so that Im bummed about (I loved the wawa for the fact that the curls stayed in with washing) |

okay - firstly, you are a sweetpea. i, um, change colors lots :), so i'm not surprised you can visualize my color haha. i usually wear anything between 10/14 blended with blonde highlights - if you have some to spare i'd love to feel a pinch - i'll pm you my addy etc etc etc... secondly, overall it seems the reviews of the hair are quite good - most of the girls are wearing the "nubian" yaki it seems and are quite pleased with how it holds up - someone mentioned quite a bit of shedding and another seconded that...so i guess the nailglue/polish reinforcer is recommended...it also seems they agree that with a wash the hair is "reset" which is good from a texture standpoint, but it does totally wipe out any curl you've put in the straight or straightening you've done to the curly...overall positives though! |

OK, leave it to you gals to be ahead of the power curve on all hair matters!!! I ordered the 27/613 mix in the French Wave. It is BULK, but they didn't have the wave wefted. What I'm looking for is a LONG synthetic that can be doubled over for heat-seal installation. The info says that the wefts are doubled over but it's sewn to the weft so that kinda defeats my purpose. Anyway - Sherrie - how long is the hair you got?? When are you installing it?? Tell me more!! |

| I got the 24 inch wefts Fina. It is completely doubled over, no beard. I like that. But Im not to keen on the texture. I got the soft yaki, thinking it would be silky like the other thermals, that Ive bought. Im not sure yet if I will use it or not. I might decide to experiment with the wawa more instead. Im undecided at this point what my next install will be! Lord knows I have many options.... in my many totes of hair goodies! |

So what do you think the difference is between the Nubian Yaki and the Soft Yaki? I'm interested in how it wears. |

Interesting looking stuff. I remember it being discussed a while back and that it curls without having to dampen the hair. sherrie, does it have a "beaded" texture to it? I suppose since the hair is doubled over, it's on a short track?

| amm...yeah it definitely is a soft yaki texture that you can feel when you run your fingers down the length of it. In my experiences with the thermal fibers they have all been called yaki but didnt have much of a yaki look or feel. This is a more true yaki texture. Its a pretty wide weft if thats what you mean? I havent unfolded it to see what the actual width of the weft is yet. |

| Oh I am sad now. I thought it would be silky. Mine hasn't come in yet. But I am still eager to know what the diff is between nubian and the reg yaki... |

same here corpuskristen....I wonder what the difference is between the soft yaki and nubian yaki. I imagine... and I might be wrong that the nubian would be 'more' textured than the soft yaki. By the way....its still very pretty, and may even blend very well for someone who has a slightly wavy/slightly frizzy or coarser texture like mine. My natural hair is pretty dry and coarse from color/ bleach etc and isnt silky smooth any more! My hair is thin and fine but not smooth at all. |

Hey ladies, I was wondering if any of you have tried the Pro-10 with Pro-tac yet? I want to use 2 wefts on my next install and would rather pay around $50 for Pro-10 than $200 for Bohyme but I want the hair to last. Ive tried other syns in the past and they just dont hold up. Im thinking the Nubian is probably more "yaki" than the silky straight. Em ------------- SHE human hair blend, 18", #4 with Supertape. |
