Got my parcel today :) checked the paperwork and half the money was
for VAT ( bloody taxes ) the other half was parcel force charges
Now I have my hair I feel much happier :)even if 2 of the colours I
ordered look black lol think when they are out of bundle they may
look better

Oh and it is Kankalon fibers Whent to a usa supplier cos the only uk
supplier I found cost 2-3 times without post even with the post I
think I have got it cheaper from usa
Will check your link though as its always good to find a new
supplier.Thanks for that :)

Will soon start the work in ernest :)
Cheers Carl
