First set of naturals *INSTALL PICS ADDED*

Post by poxabomination » Thu Jul 07, 2011 4:14 pm

Hey guys! I finally finished my first set of naturals (and first set to be actually installed on my own noggin) a few days ago, in black, red, blood red, and tomato red, and want to know what you think. I can't find a decent camera and this one blows, so if the pictures aren't clear enough I'll try to find a better camera and post new ones in a few days. I'm really happy with these, I almost want to put them in show-off but I don't know if they're quite there yet :s

Image

You can see where theres rapid improvement.. I made the solid black and solid bright red ones first (to the left) and then the blended ones after, the blended ones are much smoother and more uniform. Same with the knotty ones, the two on the left are kinda crap and I'm not using them, while the ones to the right are much better. Still not perfect though.

Image

LONGER THAN THEY APPEAR? YES.

Image

Attempt to do a ponytail, still too stiff, but a lot better from yesterday. Sleeping in them made them a million times more comfortable and a lot softer. Yaay! (note the "why is my hair so big?!!?" hand gesture)

Image

I thought I would like 2 ponytails the best, but I like this better (and shows off my shit-tacular install :lol:)

I'm damn proud of myself for being about halfway through the install with crying from frustration :lol: Not the neatest install, but not as bad as it could be. Thy look a hell of a lot longer installed though - down to my bum! :i6:

I'm also pleased to realize, through the use of mirrors, that I am fucking sexy from the back. ME GUSTA.

:lol: That's awesome! It's crazy that they're so long though, from the pictures I thought they were 12-16s!

Yeah they're beastly ^-^ I have such thick hair that I made the sections really small as well so I crammed like 42 of them on my mohawk, so it looks like I have a full head when I part them down the middle. I'm loving it, I keep looking at myself in the mirror :lol: I'm going to attempt to take some decent pics today

Great work, they look amazing!

If it's any consolation, my hair is that thick, I have just put in 75DEs in my mohawk.

You better get pictures, missy. Or I will be giving you spanks!

These are really awesome, and I am jealous that you have a rockin' dread 'hawk now. Mine is still a bit too short for extensions.

I agree with above, you have a lovely figure, but honestly right now, the length and the wigglyness make me love them. :) I think thinner might be better, but that's a personal opinion. Overall I still think they look good.
