This has happened with every closure I've ordered from Roman. Its one of the best in terms of construction but his hair is garbage. I'm thinking of sending him hair or trying another vendor.

Imo closures don't come bulky. they're flat as is, but you have to have a good braid pattern for the placement of your closure to look flat. Also find out how to work with a closure. It's not a lot of maintenance, you just have to figure out how to work with it. I've tried elastic band, sewing it down, gluing the front down too...I like it better with the band but I also just like it sewn down on the sides and tieing it down in the front with a scarf at night and when I remove it, I bump the hairs in the front so it can come forward and still look flat. 80-90% is good density for a closure. That's what I'm getting from him too. I just hope my knots aren't fkd off as usual cause to me their bleaching technique isn't that great...It's like they just bleach and send it to you. lol still a great closure though

Im planning on getting perucvian straight and I know peruvian tends to be very silky and flat looking but as i said I also dont want it to look too flat just right. LOL do you still recommend that density?

I want to purchase a closure from roman. This will be my first ever closure. I dont want it to look bulky but more so flat and laid. Can you ladies plz recommend what density i should aso for im really not sure. I just really want natural. I find when its bulky it really takes away from the natural look. Any info is greatly appreciated! |
What texture are you getting? I'd go with 80-90%. |

<FONT face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=#ff0000 size=3>I need a little help ladies, but I didn't want to just post my problem without a little pre- P*O*R*N! So this is Roman's Wefts and Closures, and this is my first time dealing with closures. The first set of pics are of the closures, the knots were not bleached as I asked, so I bleached them myself. My questions are: Are the knots bleached enough, I didn't think they actually were supposed to be platinum blonde/clear? I used Kaleidocolors blue tone bleach powder and Shimmer Lights shampoo to avoid brassines... is it still too brassy? Is putting scalp-colored material underneath still the process? (You know how techniques change) TIA

I think your knots are actually a bit over bleached! That is what's giving it that look. Can be easily corrected tho with some dye the color of the hair and a mascara brush. Lightly comb the dye onto the roots. Before this I would use shimmer lights again but let it sit for about 5 mins!!

Oh how I wish. It got to the point where I was cutting knots out on the daily. It would be like a nest when shampoo and conditioner hit it. I don't know what happened, it just gave up one day. Now I'm searching for an AV/CV that can give me that same texture that will last me longer. I tried another CV but it was a huge fail.

I have a deep wave u-part from him. I should rock that again for a while. It only tangled when it needed to be washed and conditioned.
