I've reached the stage where I think I'm done with Bohyme. It just doesn't perform well for me at all, so I'm in the market for something else.
Is the Wagman hair still getting the thumbs up from you ladies? I had a look at the site but cant figure out how to order... I know its a 1lb minimum which is fine as long as I can be sure I'm getting good hair.
It says on the site that one of their locations is Philadelphia which is where I am, I wonder if I can go and buy it direct from them...
I'm thinking the natural body would be my choice... but this hair is not virgin hair, correct, even in natural body?
I did a search for Wagman, but ended up more confused about whether people like it, or don't! Maybe I just need to get some sleep :)
Am I also right in thinking this is the same as the Elite Remy?

I think it's the same as remyhairtoday.com. I used it and it feels pretty good, but then again I haven't tried anything else yet DIY so I can't compare.
I've had greatlengths in but I don't know what hair they use. Think it's Indian as well... .

You may want to check out the BHM board, I think there are a fair amount of gals over there using the wagman.  I have heard that the new premium in colors isn't as great as we were hoping, maybe it was just a few kinks in the beginning?? 
 
To order, just give them a call.  Pattie is the gal to talk to.  I'm not sure if you can go there to buy or not??

To my knowledge, Wagman is not the same hair as Remy Hair Today.. I say this because Remy Hair Today only sells hand tied wefts, not the famous no beard micro machine wefts that Wagman sells..

No beard micro? Do you mean the folded over short hairs on the weft or something else? I'm quite new, so not so "hairsmart" yet like many of you .

I looked at their website and couldn't find any prices. I emailed them but got no reply.
Last time I bought hair from remyhairtoday.com and I thought it was nice, but again, I can't really compare...

wagman is usually very good about returning emails. Its Sunday so you may not get an email today. I think you have to call them on the phone to place orders. Take a looksee if the # is on the website.

Thanks Sherrie, I'll check it out! But in your opinion, do you think the hair is better, or is it just because of the "beard" issue?

Ive never used it...so I cant say, but there are a TON of ladies on BHM using it and overall opinions are good! I have chatted with CS from wagman and they are  very prompt and proffessional.

I've been wearing Wagman Natural Body since February. What I like about Wagman:

1. Good quality hair that lasts a long time
2. Great wefts that are thin, strong, don't shed and have no beard
3. Easy to custom-color
4. Good customer service
5. Relatively inexpensive when you buy it by the pound
6. Holds a curl well
7. With proper care, looks sleek and shiny

What I'm not thrilled about (but keep in mind I'm a mega-perfectionist):

1. The hair requires several good products to keep it sleek and shiny
2. Is prone to getting "big" and somewhat frizzy when it gets wet
3. Requires ironing after it has gotten wet to tame the frizz

All in all though, after 6 months, I am very happy with this hair. Although my own hair is fine and straight, the Wagman NB matches the texture perfectly. I'm not sure I'd be 100% happy with any of the hair available today, including EP hair which looks like it has some color bleeding and fading problems. I'd be really upset to spend that much for hair and have it bleed and lighten, when I never have that problem with the hair I color myself.
Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE!

I just wanted to say this about the so-called "color bleeding" problems with Extensions Plus hair.. You have to be careful with what you read on these forums.. In the BIG picture please consider that the few ladies on the BHM with this issue do not make up the totality of Extensions Plus customers.. The color bleeding issue is limited to one particular texture of hair (the relaxed texture) and it is not the wide spread issue as the forum posts will lead you to believe..

Not everyone wearing Extensions Plus hair has this issue.. Not everyone wearing the Relaxed Texture hair from Extensions Plus even has this issue.. (myself included) My stylist has been using Extensions Plus hair for years, as have I, and knock on wood, we don't have ANY color bleed issues.. Now, this is not to say that this is not a "real" issue for SOME ladies.. I have no reason to doubt the validity of the stated reports of the probleml.. BUT it is far from a widespread issue with Extensions Plus hair in general and IMO, it shouldn't be put forth as such..

I wore Wagman Natural Body my last install. The quality of the hair is really good. IMO. I agree totally with above comments by Kristie M about the "frizz and bigness" issue. Funny thing is-- now I have in D-Lux and have the OPPOSITE problem! This hair is more limp and won't "poof" at all to match the texture of my own hair! lol...Go figure. But once I curl it all, it blends. The Wagman NEVER tangled at all. And I mean NONE. It did not shed nor bleed. I colored it myself to an exact match. My only complaint is that the hair seems single drawn on the wefts, meaning it includes the natural shorter hairs that come off of one head. So the shorter hairs led to sparse ends and easy frizzing. If you wear any method but pinchbraids, its no big deal-- just buy the hair longer than you want it and give it a good trim to get to the thicker part. But I wear pinchbraids which require REALLY long length to accomodate the braiding process. To get my hair to the lower back, I need it LONG and double drawn ( thick to the ends.)Overall-- Wagman is a great quality hair though and easily kept shiny with good products.
