I hope their business isn't blowing up too much since you posted those pretty pix. That might be why they don't have time to reply to emails now... I still haven't rec'vd email confirmation on my order, NOR a reply to my email asking to verify that they received my order. But I did have to call my c-card company today for soemthing unrelated, and I asked if there was a purchase from company in Amsterdam.. and the rep said "yes. Real Hair?" I was like "OH YEAH, that's it!!" So hopefully the package is wingin' it's way to me by now.

Girlnextdoor, just private message me your shipping address and I'll send it tomorrow.

Pmed you!

I am just looking for a curly texture, nothing to kinky, just nice soft curls.  here is a pic of my latest install

 

I wish that I knew how to get these pics posted better.  They seem so out of focus.  They look alot better on my computer.

Anyways, how big are the bundles and what kind of weft do they have?

Thanks!

Hey, I was wondering what you have left?  I am looking to add some length to my current install.  I have 16 inches in right now, and it is indian hair that I  bought off of ebay.  I know what you mean about nits, I picked and picked, then just gave up!!! 

I sorta screwed up my hair, I took the razor to it yesturday, and did a little too much blending, now I have some very sparse areas on the sides, and I need to fill them in, and I want to add a little more length.

Let me know if you have anything left, and how much you are charging.    Thanks!!!

Well usually when I have found nits in the past they have been like maybe a dozen of them.  This one has more than that.  With the indianhairs.com hair I had bought and my friend got some too, almost every bundle had a least a few of them. With this SKM hair 1/2 of them had absolutely none. Then the other half had only a few, moderate and then there were a few bundles with dozens of them. This one has dozens of them. She was a major licehead, but she had a pretty head of hair.  I do feel stupid trying to give away nitty hair. But  it really is pretty hair. lol

well beggers cant be choosers so yea ill take it..just let me know what  need to do from here, and can u tell me how to get them out?

I'll go through and look tomorrow and see what's left.

 This might sound pretty gross, but I have pack that is reeeally pretty but there are a lot of nits in it.  I'd send it for you for the price of postage, but I warn you. You will be feeling like a mama gorilla getting the nitshells out.  If you have patience and don't mind messing with it, I think you'll love it.  I just haven't got the patience to do anymore picking at hair and this was a pretty nitty bundle.

Here's photos of it. It's 22 inches long.

well my hair is water wavy and i remember looking at a site and it explaining like the number but it has a "S" pattern to it, and it waves up in humidity and stuff like that, but my hair is a mix between wavy and curly...its weird, but im not to picky, i would like something that looks nice and that I can count on to last and look nice atleast 3 mths on a sew-in. Any ndian hair can be straighten with a flat iron huh?

No receipt yet? didn't you say you emailed someone and they told you when your order was shipped? If so, what was that email addy, because I would like to followup on my order too. Even tho my credit card will protect me  , I'd like some kinda confirmation that they have my $$ .  And I'm worried the curly won't be curly enough either.. but i had to try it. I got some kinky  mixed in w/ the order, so if i hate the curly and can't mix, I'll order more kinky i guess.

Ok Cherry, call me Hairpiggy #2. Just placed my order with Real hair. Hope it comes quick! like Friday!! I ended up ordering 6 of the Curly and just 2 of the curly kinky wefts. So hopefully I didn't mess up, hope the curly is truly  curly. I was a lil scared to order too much curly kinky because that one looked kinda big on website. Tho yours looked nice in longer lengths. But the other pix u posted of shorter curly kinky looked frizzy. Maybe i can do a mix of curly and curly kinky/.. hope so

Some of it doesn't.  Some had absolutely no nits, some had 1 or 2 and a few had a lot that were a pain in the butt. When you order bulk you'll probably have to come up with a lot of money at first.  I think our order was around $1000.  Like I said, the hair was a lot nicer than indian hairs even with the occasional greys and nits. I believe a lot of indianhairs hair has nits on it it too.

 

ok well being that I suck big time in math..kilograms is how many pounds?  Was it a lot of yall I mean if its a lot of people then its really not that bad.  I wish I could afford NG, BLISS or EP but right now imma have to go with what I can afford..lol it seems many ladies on this board and BHM have a sh*tload of money to spend on hair, and I just dont have that right now, but instead of my spending 60+ a pack on BSS hair I might as well get something atleast a TAD bit better then that.  I was wearing platinum milky way and it was good for a little while..then u know what happens next, so I feel that I can keep a weave longer if I get some type of indian hair. How long is the hair that your selling, because u said it has some bad ends then that means it would have to be cut....
