But I don't know if it will be a full or partial install. The specs on the closure is 16 inches silk based

I got my Hair LADIES!!!!!
Pics coming soon, but for now I will give you an initial review.

So I ordered from Roman, the Malaysian Virgin Wefts in 16,18, and 20 inches in Italian Yaki.
I ordered on the 8th after about 2 weeks of emailing back and forth with Roman about lengths and textures.  I just got it today which is the 17th, so it took 9 to 10 days to get to me.

The hair is nice so far, no shedding at all.  Although I think I found a filler but I'm not sure.  I'm going to try that burn test to see.  I hair is a natural brown, about a #2, so I will have to dye it.  It doesn't stink but has this chemical beauty supply store hair smell, like "new" smell. 

Now for the texture.  It has those God forsaken crinkles.  They are not bad and mostly at the top near the wefts ( by the way, the weft constructions looks really good ).  Once you go further down the strand the crinkle becomes less pronounced.  The hair is very thick and as you look through the hair some parts have crinkles and some don't.

The hair I once again very thick.  The 20in or course is not but that 16in is FULL.  The ends on all the hair look alright, I can see I might have to trim about an inch or less.  I straightened a few pieces and I took a minute to get those crinkles out.  I put a piece in some water and swished it as well as finger combed it in the water to see if it would bleed or rat up when wet.  All turned out good, a little snagging but nothing bad, and no bleeding.  I curled another piece and the curl was beautiful BUT it didn't long. I finger combed it and played with it to see how it would react.  It falls pretty but it falls super fast and the curl was gone within 45 mins.

Now I have not washed it or anything.  I wanted to see if anything was on the hair which is why I flat ironed pieces and curled to see if I would get crazy smoke or burning.  Nothing bad happened so I am hopeful.  I am still going to do a burn test though.

So, within the next couple days to a week I will shampoo it with a clarifying shampoo, deep condition it, seal the wefts, dye it Jet Black, and sew it onto a u-part.  Wish me luck and once again I WILL HAVE PICS!!

*Quick Question*
Should I wash it first or dye it first? And which dye should I use? Any suggestions?

THANKS!! <3
