So, I'm three weeks into my install, which for me is time to take out
the very top wefts and do a color touch-up. I've been struggling with how to hide those top wefts and came up with the idea to LG one single weft (with LG just on the underside) right at the top of my last Protac tape. (Update later on if this holds up and works okay...so far, it looks amazing.) I didn't have enough of my last batch of hair left, but have a gorgeous pound of Amm's Elite Remy virgin just waiting to be colored, so I thought, what the hell... Coloring that stuff was the easiest thing in the world and it came out really beautiful, more closely matched to my own color than anything so far! Per my colorist/stylist's instructions, I used 30 V. developer and my usual Schwarzkopf color (I use 10 V. with my own hair.) I left it on 30 mins. with blowdryer heat on the foil packet for the first 20, and voila! A perfect match! The hair held up well, too. Like the other Elite Remy I darkened a few months ago, it was a little dry after the first wash and conditioning, but I know based on the other hair that after another conditioning or two it will be shiny and smooth as silk. Just wanted you dark-haired people who use wefts to know that at least if you're coloring only a level or two or just wanting to add a slightly different color to match your own hair (Mine is a Level 3 Copper/Gold/Brown) this hair will work for you even if you're clueless about using coloring products. I'll try to post pics after a few more conditionings and when I can figure out how to switch my digital camera to a lower resolution setting. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

Can't wait to see it. I agree it's a breeze to color.
It's not virgin...it's been processed for texture. :) ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

I couldn't wait until tomorrow so I ran my 2" curling iron over my
new hair just now. Oh my! This hair is so sleek and shiny! I'm like an adolescent these days--can't keep my hands off my hair, am constantly playing with it. My mom saw my long hair for the first time recently. I was sure, being as conservative as she is, that she'd think I was being silly and vain having extensions "at my age." But she said my hair looked better than it ever has in my life! She couldn't keep her hands off it either. She's always had fine straight hair like mine. At one point during our lunch, she touched it once again and said wistfully, "it's like a dream come true, isn't it?" I'm so glad I didn't wait until I really was too old to have the hair of my dreams. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |
