Well I took a roll of the dice and ordered augenmerk.   I discussed questions I had before my order with Katharina with Augenmerk.  My concern the glossiness.  Well while looking through the site I noticed a couple photos where the hair looked normal.  So on a whim I asked.  Are all your photos of the hair taken through the plastic package they come in....YES!!! that explains it.  the colors are right on.  I ordered pearl (matches PH perl weiss),  I ordered natural colors straight.  The wavy can cost a bit more.  i ordered Platinum and sheer blonde.  Sheer has a touch of gold, platinum is really light beige color. 

It is not as shiny as PH.  the hair itself is soft a wee bit thicker hair wise not significant other than it seems like it will tangle less.  No it is not as soft as the Elite thermo but the colors are great and it comes in different lengths.  Love the Elite but it doesn't come close to 28 inches long plus I need more colors...Amm, hint hint hint. 

Please notice in the 1st pic the 2nd hair is actually PH in weiss and the 4th the weft piece is  PH in Satin. 

I'll be doing a install soon and give more reviews.  I love PH but I'm having matting problems and decided to take a chance.
