My DIY effort. Finished last night. It's a wet and wavy install. I think I'll wear it straight for a bit.

I'm going to have my closure adjusted tomorrow. I was going to try to wait until 6/22 for my reinstall but my closure is about 1/2" back from where it started. I don't think I should go without having it adjusted.
 
I wish someone would have told me that before I bought that daggone Gentle Wave Relaxed hair a few years back!

Yeah that is where I'm sure all the bad press comes from. I've never had any trouble and have always used mine for multiple installs. If treated correctly two year minimum. Can't fork over the dough now but its so worth it!!

I'm going to sew down a full lace wig after I deep condition and cornrow my hair tonight.

I need NO access to my natural hair for a while until this INSANE urge to relax it has passed.

loulou82,i am thinking of wearing a coarse yaki or kinky straight style weave, do you have any recommendation. I heard that halley's curl is not good quality and the shipping might be high for kinkycurlyyaki hair. TIA
 
I got the ONYC perm straight for my last install and it is an epic fail. I still have half that batch left so I'm going to suffer through another install, but I really need to find my holy grail hair. Has anyone tried Jace Beauty yet? I'm thinking of going with something more curly because even with closure adjustments I still end up with the kinky edges in stark contrast to the straight weave. Anyone have a wavy or curly hair they love?

I like this hair...I just don't like that my natural hair is kinky, and that it does not blend with this hair. I think the best option is to use kinky/curly hair and to leave a tiny amount out along the edges.

bronzebomb, which hair do you like? Blending is not an issue since I always use a cosure. The ONYC was raggedy. I experienced excessive shedding and tangling and there were many non hair fibers present in my bundles:( I am just hoping to find wefts that are durable and do not tangle much. If you meant you like the Jace hair, which texture?
 
I'm getting a sew in next month using malaysian Italian yaki. Gotta have straight hair that I would be able to blend. After that, some wavy "coarse" Cambodian hair.....can't wait.
 
I've been working out really hard so I'm in this challenge for the rest of the year. I'm going to buy some hair and wear it for the rest of the year. I need to leave the pressing comb alone for a while. Working out and my hair is turning into a big poofy mess.
 
I want a look like this for the fall but this vendor has a horrible history. :ohwell:

HairPleezeGrow Her name is Ivy. She's pretty and does nice makeup and can lay some hair. Here is her channel. http://m.youtube.com/user/poisonflowerivy

The hair is called Mongolian S Curl by Allure. But I wouldn't order from her. She has a shady past.
 
When the wefts touch my hair i cannot stop scratching. Has this happened to anyone before? Am I allergic to the hair? It is human hair. What can I do to make it stop? I wanted to keep it in for 2 months, but it's only been 2 weeks and I want to take it down.

I'm not much of an expert, but have you tried shampoo washing or an ACV rinse?
Maybe a quick swipe of the scalp with seabreeze/witch hazel or ORS dry shampoo or something of the sort.
I'm sure others could chime in.
I hope it gets better!
I'm in a crochet weave myself now and it gets a bit itchy too, but those things usually work for me :)

That's a long time. The longest my weave itches is a week when the braiding is still tight. Once it eases up, the itching goes away. Maybe wash with tea tree or peppermint essential oils added to the shampoo?

Witch hazel worked like a charm! I sprayed the wefts and I can now sleep in peace! Thank you so much! I can't believe I suffered in silence for so long lol.
