looks gorgeous Diva! I had bad luck w/ IH too. But my problems were with the curly. It wasn't curly for one thing and tangled a lot too. I had color 1b. I ordered straight hair too but i never got around to using it. So maybe it's nice like yours.. I ordered 12 inc straight tho and it's too short for me to wear, so i just put that in the stash. Wish it were longer, cause yours sure looks nice.
Thanks.. I usually get 12" hair and wear it just at my shoulders.. I ordered longer to account for split/damaged ends.. Turns out that the ends were in remarkable shape, and my stylist was so in love with this hair that HE decided for me that I would wear it longer this time.. tee hee hee.. So far I'm impressed.. I will report back as time goes how well this hair is holding up..

Thanks ladies.. I'm very pleased with this hair so far.. The real test will be how this hair holds up over time.. I'm anxious to see if it stands the test of time like my EP hair did before I buy more..

EP- so far nothing in my opinion compares to the wearability, and strength this hair has. my whole head is installed with ep- i have about 70 strands ind. and my new Mane Tracks about 6 wefts installed with my new technique. I will post new pics this week!
Tangles.. I couldn't agree with you more about EPs hair.. I was in love with mine.. I wanted to buy more, but before I spend $400 or $500 again, I wanted to at least SEE if there was something else out there on par.. I can't wait to see the new pics of your new EP hair.. My ONLY beef with EP was the size of the beard on the wefts.. On fresh installs the beard would scratch and irritate my scalp for the first two weeks.. If I am careful, can I trim the beard down without compromising the integrity of the wefts or the hair??

You're right the REAL test of this RK hair will be how it wears over time.. and my standards for judging hair is that it must perform AS WELL as my EP hair did.. (I'll post pics of my two year old EP hair too after I clean and condition it just so I can show folks here how good this hair really is..) So far so good.. MINIMAL shedding, and no tangles, and it does not mat around the neck like BSS hair does..
If this hair wears well, I'm sold.. If not, I'll be back at EP. (Hell I'll still be back at EP either way.. I still LOVE their hair..) However, even if this hair wears well, and I buy more, I will never buy RK's colored hair.. It will ONLY be 1 or 1b colors for me.. I really believe they over process their colored hair.. If I want color I will order from indianhairs.com and have my stylist color it.. Pics on their way.. Gotta get the husband unit to take 'em for me..

they dont shed, or dry out at all.

I gotta say.. I had some reservations about this hair.. I really took to heart what you all of you ladies said about this hair, and I appreciate ALL of your feedback.. I will definitely keep the forum posted on how this hair wears over time..
I am in love with this hair.. I never thought I would find hair that I (and my VERY picky stylist..) would love as much as I loved my EP hair.. My stylist RAVED about this hair.. He is making plans for all the ways he is going to style it for me during the next three months. LOL
Normally I get 14" hair and have it cut to just about shoulder length.. This hair is so soft, and it MOVES like nobody's business. So MY STYLIST decided for me that I would be wearing this hair long.. (just past my shoulders) He's thinking of trying a wet set with rods in a few weeks.. I wore my EP hair that way for that last month, and the curls always held between my regular hair appointments.. It ought to be Fabulous on this hair!!
I will try and post pics tonight.. My husband's the one with the digital camera.. I'll get him to take a few picks so I can post.. I should post pics of the EP hair we took out today too.. I am AMAZED how well the EP hair has held up in the two years I've worn it..
I'll work on the pics..

I got 16" single draw straight hair in both the hand tied and machine wefts.. It comes looking silky straight, but once it's washed the hair gets a very nice soft wave to it, and it flat irons beautifully.. It blends VERY well with my relaxed hair wet or dry..

glad u got ur hair and so far so good, i never got the hand tied wefts, u could just arm yourself with some glue and after u cut it see if it starts to unravel, then drop some glue on it.
Okay.. So my RK hair came in tonight.. My feet hurt because I had to stand in a Friday night UPS pickup frenzy tonight.. TWO HOURS waiting to pick up HAIR!! How's that for sheer dedication?? I couldn't wait to see.. BUT my husband and I stopped to get food, and I resisted the temptation to play with my new hair before I ate dinner..
So here's the thing about it.. I opened the box, held my breath, and I was PLEASANTLY surprised! Actually.. I was SHOCKED.. The hair is really pretty! I mean it's gorgeous! The hand tied and the machine wefts are well constructed, and most importantly... NO D*MN NITS!!!!
To say I'm surprised is an understatement.. No bad smell.. (did I say no nits already..) No bushy ends, shiny SOFT hair.. I've been brushing it.. combing it.. running my fingers through it, and the shedding seems about on par with the level of shedding I got with my EP hair (which is to say it sheds VERY little.. very few hairs come off the either type of weft..) All in all so far I'm pleased.. When I ordered.. I did take a tip from one of the ladies on BHF.. I added a note under special instructions of my order that went something like this:
I expect this hair to be in the following condition:
No nits
No white hairs
Clean
Minimal split/damaged ends
Length and weight should as ordered
I will inspect this hair for professional quality and order again if it meets quality standards.
Now I don't know if this made a bit of difference when they fulfilled my order.. but the hair sure looks good.. So maybe it made a difference.. we'll see.. I'm prepping it tonight, and at 6:00 am tomorrow (this morning) I will be sitting with the hair diva himself to do a takedown and install with the RK hair.. I'll post back my results..
But I do need some help from you experts.. The hand tied wefts I got suprised me the most.. they actually look like small versions of the machine weft..
So I put it out there to you ladies.. I know you can't cut hand wefts unless you seal the cut ends.. but I swear these wefts look like they could be cut withut needing sealing.. Am I seeing this correctly??? Do any of you have experience with cutting the hand tied wefts on the RK hair??

...I have used it on 3 installs so far, and putting it back in this weekend for another run...
Three installs sounds great, but how long did your wear the extensions before you took it down and re-installed.. In other words, how long (how many months) have you been wearing the hair?

i'M AN EP fan as well. I just wish they had curlier textures. But the hair does not shed or tangle no matter what u do (i tried; lol).
I hear you.. In the 1st couple of weeks after I had it installed I did EVERYTHING you're not suposed to do, and I'll be darned if the hair BEHAVED!!! I LOVE Extensions Plus!!!

I have 8oz of RK single drawn #2 (which is a 4 in most other lines) I have used it on 3 installs so far, and putting it back in this weekend for another run. Maybe I got lucky but I will be ordering again. Mine doesn't shed anymore than any other hair I have tried - granted most of the shedding is during the takedown of the installs and when I clean it in between installs. I soaked mine in olive oil and conditioner before I wore it.
