Hi ladies--
Okey doke, my first foray into posting here & I must say that I'm feeling suddenly very very shy LOL
Since I'm still a novice and all, i would Really appreciate your honest feedback-- (and OMG! i did NOT realize what a mess of a head my helmet head was until I saw the pics --- can anyone please lend me a brush???)
 I guess my biggest questions are these:
1--- can you see the bulk of the wefts in my hair?
2--- does it look way too thin? do i need to add more?
3--- is my helmet head wayyyyy out of control? aka- - borderline stupid?
4--- any other constructive comments much appreciated.........
I love this site!! Thanks, girls-- http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p69/butter68/100_0537.jpg - http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p69/butter68/100_0537.jpg

Yeah, just maybe one more weft higher up, it looks cute but it will help you be able to blend just a little bit more, so you won't have to wear the top clipped back.
Otherwise great job! It looks fab! And you are so cute! Have fun with your new long hair!!

Hi Dharna type!
I love your hair, very pretty curls! I would also recomment to add another weft higher, so you won't feel the need to clip your hair in the back like that, otherwise I think the thickness of your hair is perfect!

Morning! I really appreciate your feedback --
Question: my highest row of weft is actually about an 1.5 inch above my temple -- close to the crown --- how could i go higher w/out it showing through?
Maybe i need to try the protac??
ps--
have a good Turkey Day everyone!

Very very pretty! Both the hair and you!
You have such a nice cool toned pale blonde hair color. Are you wearing #613? That color looks a little more cool toned that #613 usually does... I am just curious.
I agree that possibly you could use another weft- to help with the blending.
Each time you install, you will learn the best places to put the wefts. It takes a little time to get it all right. I look back at pix of some of my first installs... and I wish I could fix them.
 But---- your hair looks gorgeous. If you can fit in another weft, like in the upper back area of your head, that may help you blend easier.
No- your hair does not look like a helmet????? Is this the same as "mushroom head"??? If so, then no you do not have the mushroom/helmet head thing goin' on.
Great job! Thank you for sharing with us  ------------- |

I response to your last question.... I personally install one row from temple to temple (actually just above the temple- leaving room for sunglasses to slip on and off.... ya live and learn!!) . Then I add one small row above that in the back- just below my crown. I also add one small row on each of the sides of my head- just below my part. Each of these small rows is about 4- 5" wide. From ABOVE, The shape of the topmost rows (upper back and side sections) would look like this: \ _ / . Putting the small sections in helps me control where they go easier, and they are less detectable, IMO than the large rows. It is a small amount of hair, single wefts, but they help so much with the blending. The very back middle area of my head is the hardest for me to blend the right way. I tend to have a little "wing" flipping out showing the shorter length of my hair. Curling/ironing keeps it at bay most of the time. now that area of my hair is way more fried than any other section.... lol You can try sewing some clips on a section of weft. Then you can practice, with the clip in section, placing your sections to see how high up you can go with the wefts without them being detectable. This way you do not have to glue/tape any wefts in to see where your best placement might be.
I think your hair looks great, really.

I think if you added one lower to add thickeness towards the bottom area....and layer it...you would get what you are wanting....if you keep adding to the top you'll never get the look you want.....have you washed your hair yet?
Mine always looks better after washing and seperating the new hair.
I think your hair looks great...... ------------- 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! |
