To taper or not to taper

Okay, let me just say this and get it over with. I hate flexi. I hate flicker. I hate how flexi flickers. I hate how flexi goes through your body and makes you look like you have hair growing in the strangest places.

However, I know that a lot of people out there like flexi. So I make it. And cuss at it the whole time.

Now, my question is this:

Taper the flexi? Or don't taper the flexi?

Tapered flexi looks like:



And non-tapered flexi looks like: (look in the middle of the ad)



So, thoughts, opinions? Do you care?

Don't taper. I like it better when the hair doesn't poke out thru the other hair.

I do love all of your hair, and do HATE totally flexi hair too. Hair coming out the chest is creepy! The taper look is better, it combines both, and looks so much better! ty you are awesome :)

Hmm. I suppose it's a personal preference thing. I prefer the non-tapered, usually, but sometimes the taper has the right look for a particular style.

I prefer the tapered look myself. At least for my style of hair it would look better on me =^_^=

I think tapered and non-tapered depending on the style. Not either/or :) Thanks for asking!

From what I've seen, don't tapper. Looks a little more polished and less like a series of daggers sticking out. ;)

Cheers.

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue what the difference is. Does it help if I just say I think your hairstyles are awesome, that I no longer buy hair from anywhere else, and love all the styles? Sorry that was a useless reponse!

Altho it is weird seeing hair coming out of your body, it is more natural when some hair moves and some doesnt. I think it depends on the length of the hair and the style.
I do have lots of Calla hair!!

Don't taper. I think the hair looks better that way. Thanks for asking us!

Taper does depend on the hair style. Holly is my fave and since I now know it is taper, I like it best that way, but long hair looks best with all flexi. I know it looks kinda weird sometimes but I don't care for the hair that looks like a board moving in all one piece.
IMHO.
Love you Tiger & Haedon!!!!

I vote for "dont taper"

Unknown said...

Keep doing what you have been doing!! Not either/or, it's all good; depends on style. I wear either Holly or White Camellia :-) as my default "me" choice depending on what I am wearing. That's why I say please keep doing both.

I drastically love changing hair and own embarassing tonnage of Calla hair with intent to possess more. :->

You are the best, I haven't bought hair anywhere else for a long time! But back to taper, I love the variety, the updo's and think you should keep all the "tools" at you fingertips.

All homage to the hair divas!

non-taper! tapered looks like some strange alien is trying to escape from your hair.

I prefer the non-tapered because I like the independent movement that the non-tapered seems to have over the tapered. However, this can make a style looks messy instead of clean. My impression of your shop is more clean styles than anything else so the non-tapered just doesn't seem Calla-like. *shrug*

Holy smokes! Where are you folks the rest of the time?! That's a lot of posts!

Glad to see you all lurking out there. :)

Haedon Quine said...

Seriously! Who knew you were all out there. Nice to see some familliar names :)

I set up a demonstration last night for anyone that wants to come see both the tapered, and non-tapered flexi. You can move them in Edit Mode, and check them out if you aren't sure what's what. They're right inside the front door, next to the colour demos!

I like the non-taper because it just looks better. It's still pretty but with out the hair flying everywhere and coming out anywhere.

diana said...

Count me in the no-taper side. :)

Tigerlily Koi said...

I had no idea we had this many readers. Woohoo! How smart is Hae? Awesome idea as always.
