Weave Divas - quick question?

[KinksnCurlz]

Please tell me what color combination this is? i have a good idea but i'm no hair choosing pro so help a sista out

This is the same model...

 

[model_chick717]

I'd say #30(the lighter) and #4.

By the way, DAYUM, that's a good weave!!

 

[KinksnCurlz]

that's what i thought but i also threw in 27 (strawberry blonde) b/c she has 3 colors in her hair... i wasn't 2 sure about the 27 tho

come on guys, help a sista out! LOL

 

[DangerouslyShy]

To me it looks like the base is a 30 (medium auburn), and the highlights are a 4 (light brown) and the lighter highlights are definately a 27 (strawberry blonde)

 

[cupcakecutie5]

Can't help with colors or anything but that is a good weave, Very Pretty!

thats exactly it mama it might even have a rinse on it to bring out the colors more as well...but i know a 27 when i see it...lol...27/30 is what i NORMALLY love to wear...

 

[model_chick717]

Okay--I see some #27 streaks--but I think those three colors pretty much cover it....

 

[carrie]

looks like 27, 30, 4

 

[DangerouslyShy]

is that fusion, or micro illusions?

 

[KinksnCurlz]

that's from the website i posted earlier...

www.hair-enhancement.com

the ethnic hair section. they apply the hair with some type of wire and clamp it on...the website explains it much better than i ever could. but the colors here definately jumped out at me and said "girl you betta work"

 

[KinksnCurlz]

Now, all you guys have to do is tell me how to blend it. LOL How much of each color should I get... I'm getting french refined (or egyptian wave), and whatever length goes a little past my shoulders which i believe is 12" (in other words, same length as Joan from girlfriends - traci ellis-ross). Full head...
thanks all.

 

[DangerouslyShy]

yea it is one of my favorite color combos....

they said they were using copper coils to add the hair...I dont know if i would like having metal coils on my hair like that....I would really like to try micro illusions tho..I might learn how to do it...take a class or something

 

[cutebajangirl]

Laginappe knows how to do the great lengths so maybe she pop in and give directions. I see a tad of 24 in there for pop. I am a fan of long hair so I would go with 14 inches. Also I have some body wave from SEnsational Goddess Remi that is exactly 14 inches and some other hair I bought recently is only 14 inches too. In the past I felt like you always got two more inches than the what was the pack was labeled but it looks like they are not doing that anymore. What brand hair are you purchasing and are you getting the great lengths done?

 

[carrie]

I am not sure how to blend the colors with that process, but when My girl does mine (sew in) she alternates tracks of color.

 

[cutebajangirl]

Okay just checked out the site. From what I have read on BHM I would never trust anyone to pick out my hair for me cause it seems like there hasn't been a company yet that provided good hair for the weave. Just wanted to put that out there.

aight girl it depends on what type of weave you are getting with fusion its a breeze to blend colors you just do the base which is the back of the head and add the highlights to the top but mix in your base color for a more natural look...with fusion you can do it by sight and put however many strands of the color you want wherever...so if you want more highlights just add more fusion bonds of that color hair...

with a sewin its a little bit more difficult you can do it the easy way and get the mixed color hair I know bohyme does have it...you could get a pack of the M4/30 which is the medium brown and medium auburn and than sew that in the back and than a pack of 30/27 and sew that in on top....it should blend nicely...

I think bohyme has 14 inch length...the egyptian wave is one of my favorites...

I agree I would bring my own hair...because I would have a fit if the hair tangled up or matted up because of the quality of the hair....

 

[carrie]

blaxalrose, my hair is dark too. I use the 30 and 27, but I still use a 1B as my base color to blend mine that is left out.

 

[cutebajangirl]

Also I could have sworn that women use to be on the Great lengths website from the front.

 

[KinksnCurlz]

Thanks ladies for the input but i m getting a full head weave, a tad bit longer than joan's (girlfriends). I guess i'll get the 14". lastly, i'm getting the hair from my SO's shop. i'm absolutely LOVE egyptian wave but i might just get french refined. Which hair do you think would resemble joan's more?

 

[KinksnCurlz]

I agree with everyone on the colors...

So what color are you dying your hair so the tracks will blend?? My hair is soo dark, it would have to be taken up a number of levels to get to that color. I love the lighter colors though, I just don't know if I want the work that having them entails...

Those colors are some kinda fierce!

That's the problem... LOL
I was thinking about going a little darker just so that my hair will blend with the hair but im really feeling the colors in the pics That's the color i always wanted to dye my own hair.

how is this done? do you mean that you use the 1b for the bottom part and all around ur head and use 30/27 for the highlights? pardon if that's a stupid question, i'm not weave savvy

My girl uses the 3 different colors alternating. so 1st track 1B, 2nd track 30, 3rd track 1b, 4th track 27 and then repeat. It gives a good mix of the colors thru my whole head. Here is a pic:

 

[KinksnCurlz]
