Topic: Italian Yaki - UPDATE - The Wait is Over- Pics 6 Posted: 04 Nov 2009 at 4:59pm |
Ok...so I decided that I would try a Italian Yaki which was actually a gift to me...I've received it and it is a whole lot of hair ......I was advised by the vendor to flat it first before I let my stylist layer cut it....and Chocatly77 also advised me to get it thinned out....so tell me what you think...
the first 2 pics are of the back of the unit as it came out of the bag...not flat ironed
And these 2 pics are of the front of the unit after I flat ironed it...and it does definitely looks better to me now...What do you think?????
Please let me know your thoughts...as I do value your opinions

I think it looks beauitful after you flat ironed it. Looks like you won't have to thin it out by the picture.
I can't believe you strayed from your chinese light yaki!! I need to be more like you and try different textures. But I'm scuuuuuuuurd, LOL.
Anyway, it looks pretty to me, can't wait to see it on you.

MsLiberty --my Lf sista in crime ....girl how are you????...just trying it out to see if I like it...I must admit after I flat ironed...I was like...oh wow....before I wear it though I will be lifting the color to the brown family...as I think dark colors look too harsh on me

It looks nice flat ironed, what type of hair was it? I want that look but IA it looked huge before the iron, keep us updated on how often you have to flat iron to keep it maintained, I'm a low maintenance type of girl. I like the look but I don't have time to be straightening a unit every other day  , but I know I want either IY or KS so please keep us (or at least me  ) updated. I LOVE the look!

I know that Becky dyes her silktops by dipping it in strong black coffee. She swears by this method but I have never had a silktop, so I can't vouch for it.
The hair looks great btw. I also have an italian yaki which I haven't really worn because I still need to get it cut. But it is a whole lotta hair when you first pull it out of the bag. Who's the vendor on yours?

I like it! But then again, I love kinky/textured hair. :)
I found RIT in Cocoa Brown at Rite Aid. They should have it as well other drug stores. It's a darn shame that I wasn't able to find it at the craft store but the pharmacy came through like a charm. lol

I forgot to ask, what's the length? I know it's going to be gorgeous once you lift the color.

Nuf,
Please post pics after you lift the color. You know I gotta see the brown in that unit. Also, I know that straight hair is going to look gorgeous on you.

I think it is a very nice unit and as for the thinning, that will be your personal preference when you put it on  .
