Valentine was kind enough to send me some
samples of both the augenmerk and the PH (which means I also got to see
her great handmade wefts! the're excellent in person let me tell you  )
I thought I'd share my thoughts since I'm new to synth and might have a different perspective. Augenmerk is very very fine. (she sent me the straight texture FYI) Before I played with it a bit and while it was in its 'travelled several hundred miles state' it felt very plasticy to me, almost like plastic shreddings. So I sprayed with lots of Velvasil, flat ironed and combed it out, then trimmed the ends so it was closer to the length I would deal with typically. It felt SO great after that. Much softer, WAY less plasticy. It has less of a shine then PH has Valentine mentioned as well. I would of used a curling iron to see how that does, but I don't have one. PH was a blend of two colors. It too had some tangles from the travel, but I was able to work them out as well with the velvasil and some finger combing. This sample was the wavy. And its a BEAUTIFUL wave. I got a bit impaitent and didn't want for my flat iron to cool all the way before touching it, so it scorched a little bit. The fiber dosen't feel quite as odd to me as the Augen does, its a bit thicker and a bit slicker. More more like my own hair is. Its not as soft, but its smoother so I like that. So my conculsion. For me, having very silky but thicker hair strands, I think PH is a bit better a match for extensions. For my wigs, I'm probably going with the Augenmerk because it can cold up to heat better and I'll be doing a lot of styling. I don't do a ton of styling with my hair other than straighten it on occasion - but it sounds like my hot showers will straighten the PH some should I desire. now off to order hair!! oh and I TOTALLY understand what everyone says about the smell of Velvasil now! |
