Nits are the eggs of Lice (the little creatures that you may have catched or been warned about at school).  Luckily they don't survive little more than 24 hours once the hair has been cut from the donors head also the shipping adds a few days on too so when you get the hair they are all dead.

Tangles - It is very rare for you to get nits on processed hair especially after all the chemicals and stripping processes it has been through etc so it is very uncommon for you to come across any.  However when buying virgin or unprocessed hair with no chemicals sometimes despite their best efforts there may be some remaining which would be my job to make sure they are completely removed before they are purchased by the consumer like yourself.

Im going to be making another order with this company soon as im extremely impressed with this hair.  I will be ordering double drawn hair this time with nail hair tips to wear and test over a period of time before i make any decisions to stock it.   

Going with the weight of the strands i would say 100 would be approx to 4oz but i will double check this with the manufacturer.  Im guessing they wont have this in my colour (613) so i will have to colour a batch to match my hair.  I will be using the Wella Koleston Perfect range to do so.  I'll post pictures of the outcome.

the thought of nits on hair makes me ill. i know it could be on it however i would never purchase hair that had nits on it and if it did, i would send it back.

the only hair i ever got that had nits was rk hair, i did install it Although i did feel sick) and this hair was a disaster,

shel let us know, the hair does look really good though.

remy guy- please explain to me how u get virgin blonde indian hair, all indian folks have dark hair! thanks

I know that occasionally nits show up in some product.  We found that the use of a cat flea comb works very well for removing any nits that one might find on some hair.

Im actually really impressed so far as ive now washed this hair 20 times and used no conditioner and blasted with the hair dryer and its still silky soft and shiney.  No frizz, tuggs or bulkiness!  Better still i can get it in pre-bonded, weft or bulk.  Its deffo winning so far but i will have to check the other suppliers samples first before i make an decision.

That picture is of the single drawn hair but it also comes in double drawn.

Im currently testing out european hair from a number of companies with a view to having my own line.  The hair is all virgin / natural and unprocessed.

So this is one of the first samples so far and whilst inspecting the hair in the light, i noticed the nits. There wasnt many but its still quite scary knowing they are there.  I had to keep reminding myself that they werent alive anymore.  

Has anyone else found nits on hair youve ordered?
