Kinky Curly pics (added more pics w/denman)

I'm still loving my hair. I'm not taking it out until the end of the month. I really like the texture. It's a PERFECT match. I've been having problems with tangling and dryness. Other than that, the hair is great. You'll see how well it mimics my texture. The curls can be afro-ish or you can wear it more defined. More info on the hair here Everyone at my job SWEARS it's real. lmao

Sorry for all the pics! lol Yup...I love to take pics...as you can tell. Check out my fotki for more.













This is when I defined the curls more.











I'm pulling my coils to show the difference.

ETA more pics..even more defined curls
I washed my hair this morning, and decided to use the denman for even more defined curls. As with real hair, it did shrink the hair.

Very nice, I just wanna touch your hair. Did you use the Curly Custard and the Knot Today? How did you achieve the more defined look in the second set of pics? Details, lady, details...

 

[Junebug D]

It does look very real! You would totally fool me. Nice!

:wow: I can't believe thats a weave? Is it a sew in? Can you share the technique that was used? Its very beautiful.

Sexy big hair! You can't bring in pics like that and not tell us the brand ,type of curl, where you bought it etc. Very cute by the way. And what type curl are you and are you transitioning or just plain natural?

 

[Ediese]

Thanks ladies. The only thing I did differently for the defined curls was to comb with conditioner in my hair, and not rinse the conditioner out. I also didn't mess with the curls AT ALL until it dried. For my real hair, I used some Fantasia ICI gel. I put some gel on the root of the hair and pulled it down the strand. I did sections like that, when it dried, it retained the curl.

Thanks. I've heard that if you use the Curly Custard the hair will be even more defined. I haven't bought any though.

Thanks! It's Laniks Kinky Curly X2. If you click the link above, it takes you directly to the hair. I bought two bundles; 8 0z. I'm a sort of a natural 4a. I only have a very small amount of straight ends left on the sides of my hair. I haven't relaxed in 2+ years.

Yes, it's a sewin. A little bit of hair was left out in the front..about 1" on the side, and 2" at the top. I think she sewed it in a circle pattern.

Thanks for the info boo either I'm blind or I don't see the link.

I LOVE LOVE this textured weave. I find that a lot of curly weaves can look artificial but the kinky curly is just beautiful!

When you first posted pictures a little while back, I immediately went to the site you posted but I couldn’t fine it on the site, I have looked everywhere for it online. I was thinking maybe I should just call or email the company. I want to purchase it NOW!

When you take it out will you reuse it? It looks so gorgeous on you and is a perfect match.

 

[ajoyfuljoy]

man I thought that was your real hair! I have never been fooled like that, you need to open up a shop!

 

[Sequoia]

Your hair looks so nice and it's very well blended. I can't tell that it's a weave. Whoever installed that has got skills.

Aww..thank you! I've chopped it up so much that I dont' think I'd be able to reuse it. I love the texture, but I will say that you have to find products that will help with dryness because this hair LOVES. I haven't been able to. Also, keep in mind that it's very similiar to 4a natural hair, in the sense, that it has the capability to tangle.

Thank you! Those curls aren't mines though...at least not all of them.

 

[Filmatic]

That is beautiful. Too bad it's sold out.

Sorry to hear that! I would still email her though because sometimes it says it's sold out, and it's not.

Thanks for the advice. How many inches long is your one? Can you do a lot of wash and goes with it?

I'm gonna email her and see whats up. I want this like yesterday!

 

[angie3g]

Wow!!! Edise your hair looks great!!!

 

[LiberianGirl]

It looks very natural. I can't wait until my own hair is that length.

 

[favoured]

Looks very natural. You said you have the circular braid pattern. Were the tracks sewn in following the braid pattern or in a U-shape? TIA

[vkb247]

Gorgeous!---------

 

[lollyoo]

It's really nice. Looks more like a true 4a than bobraz.
I was going halley's relaxed and bobraz, separately. But to save on shipping, I think I will wait till laniks restock so that I can purchased both natural relaxed 2 and kinky curl 2 from her at the same.
How do you sign up for laniks newsletter been searching on the website, without luck.

 

[thaidreams]
