Wanted! People to show off colinette do's!
I wasn't sure where this would live in the forum! so please feel free to move!
I'm thinking of doing a partial install with colinette and synthetic dreads, I just wanted to see more photos of peoples colinette installs before I make a decision. I did look using the search but couldn't find many :<
So this is a picture request thread for colinette! also any tips would be great! :>
Thanks!

check out woolhairhabit's show offs, they'll be a few to inspire you - they inspired me to do a full istall.

I know it's super christmassy, but eh. More over heres: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=10177
EDIT: Thought I should add that I did a wool roving, colinette, synth dread install last year. It's kinda hard to see, but I think you'll get the picture.

DreadstarMonstar: Thanks! I've already seen some of woolhairhabit's installs before but I always enjoy going back and searching for new ones :>
VixenSingsBlack: Thank you!! your installs are beautiful! ^.^ Out of curiosity are the roving/wool installs lighter than synth? I've never had wool before so I just wanted to know what to expect weight wise?

Re: Wanted! People to show off colinette do's!
I have been working with Colinette for more years than I care to admit and have MANY pictures that I haven't posted on this board. I can dig some more out if you like, I'm working with images over the next couple of days.
Just to clarify though, do you mean Point 5? Colinette is the company name and Point 5 is just one of the yarns they make. I'd suggest that they make other yarns that are too readily overlooked for hair extensions.
In terms of tips, I find that treating yarn as you would synth is the best way to go. I prefer proper braiding as a method but it can be put in like DE's or SE's which may work better if you are mixing it with synth.

What, that? It's a spade.

I was gonna use point 5, but after PM-ing Gracey she advised me on the one Zero - which was super to use! really light, but awesome coverage

I originally had these being a super long below the waist pony fall, then I shortened them and braided them in my hair... and after that they were still in such great shape that I attached them to ribbons and had myself a pair of super full hair falls.
