Hi ladies! You are all so sweet! I really appreciate the compliments
We will soon be carrying the D-LUX Bodywave wefts and also smaller quantities of the keratin tips. It will be a couple months though until we get them in.
Healthy glow? Me? Haha.. it was a great photographer! I do use that proactive solution but I would love to try a photo facial one of these days...
I took a couple pages from the site down but I'll address that in this thread:
Kristin, your hair looks amazing!! I have hair envy...in a good way....
So can I ask a non-hair question?? How do you keep your skin looking so fabulous?? Is there something like extensions for faces that I am missing out on??
I get chemical peels, but mine looks no where NEAR as flawless as yours.....It's wonderful!!

I believe with Wagman-- you have to order a pound at a time. Before the price increase, I think I got a pound for like 280.00 ( I think it was around that price). The reason I quit wearing it is because I wear pinch braids...and it takes a good 2-3 inches of length for the pinchbraid to be created...so you lose that length in the hair. They only go to 24 inches ( Wagman) and I'm afraid after a trim, it won't be long enough. Their hair is also single drawn-- meaning it has some shorter hairs in with the bundles/wefts too. So once installed, although single drawn gives you a nice "natural" look because all the hairs aren't all ONE length....it created a problem with my pinchbraids being too "piecy" and straggly at the ends. I had to trim a bit to get a good look. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't want to wear such long length. But you know how that goes..."LONGER! LONGER!" It's like getting a little "cosmetic" surgery....and then you become a junkie....lol. This D-Lux hair is thick throughout to the ends....so I DO like that fact. We just razor it up a bit to blend. It is just more coarse than the Indian hair. Not like a nappy, damaged texture--- just really coarse....you know-- like an Asian's hair! LOL... Kristen-- will you ever carry the bodywave D-Lux on wefts? I would love to try some.
Also-- how do I post pics on here?
Hey Nikkie, Msfitnes is right the Body wave does fall after it's washed a couple times (I don't know of any body wave that doesn't). If you want something between the pictured Bodywave and the straight hair you would like the Bodywave after it's been washed.
Last time I bought Indian Remy on the net. When it arrived it was all soft. They put oil on it for safe travelling. After I gave it a wash it became a bit "jumpy", you know, like the hairs all sort of separated and didn't form a wavy togetherness. Don't get me wrong: it looked quite beautiful, but a bit boring.
Their colors are all dark. I still have a lot of it left- the install that I did came out too easy: my fault and I've learned . There just wasn't enough glue on the tips. I pre tipped them myself, but not enough. Luckily I managed to save almost all of them, so I can use them again.
I had no idea that d-lux is Asian hair. Everybody seems to love Bohyme though... . I'd love to try it.
Do Wagman Primus have a website?

Nikki-- I sing in an all 80's cover band in Charlotte, NC. We do everything from pop to glam rock. My forte is definitely the harder rock stuff...like Van Halen, Billy Idol, and Kiss. I LOSE myself singing that stuff...LOL.. Don't get me wrong on the D-Lux hair. It is nice quality....doesn't tangle or mat.. and it doesn't LOOK dry or coarse...but IMO, it is coarser than the Indian hair I wore. Asian hair shafts are thicker in diameter than Indian or Euro hair...which leads to a coarser feel I suppose? For some reason, when it's curled, it feels softer...but as soon as the curl drops out, it has that straight coarse feel again. Sort of odd.... I am wondering if those on the west coast have better luck with curls holding? I am almost convinced it is the humidity here. I hear that Bohyme is great too. I get tempted to try it...but my stylist HATES it....so she has influenced me just a bit against trying it.
Maybe I should have been more patient with my last install. It was Indian remy bodywave... maybe I should have it longer. I keep hearing all this good stuff about Bohyme and d-lux, though. They say it's real soft and stuff....
But your advice sounds good...
So, what kind of music are you into?

If you want ROCK N ROLL hair-- go for Deluxe Indian Natural Body hair. I wore that last install that I got from Wagman Primus and my hair was big and totally ROCKED OUT!! lol...I had too much hair installed for my taste that time....but I barely had to style the hair, it had so much body and pump to it! After I got used to the volume of hair, it was cool.... I looked like Tawny Kitaen-- the chick in the old Tom Hanks movie "Bachelor Party." Big Glam chick hair....lol

Darling Niikki-- I really think you should go with bodywave....mostly because you will be onstage, like myself, alot. I'm telling ya girl....this hair holds curl really well...but NOT when you are flinging it around and sweating profusely. It goes right back to being straight. I think alot of it must be the humidity. I am in NC....so that may be why it won't hold long. I curled it yesterday, went jogging late afternoon and every curl was GONE. Don't get me wrong-- the hair is nice....it's just pretty straight and if your hair has a bit of body ( yours sounds identical to mine-- straight on top...gets wavy on the ends) then go for the bodywave hair girlfriend. You will be curling this hair constantly. I personally like "get up and go" hair. Most bodywave hair also drops some of the wave after it's been washed several times so you still have the "body" in it....but it won't be too curly. Also -- another thing to factor in is the origin of the hair. I have realized that Indian/Italian hair "processed" as silky sraight will generally have some wave to it still. But if it's Asian ( D-Lux hair is)....silky straight is pretty straight and coarse. The good thing is that Asian hair is pretty durable to abuse ( heat styling) because of it's texture so it should last quite awhile.
I've had bodywave in... it's nice, but I'm always looking for new things to do. Thing is: if I could get something in between straight and bodywave I'd be a happy puppy I like my hair to be rock and roll: messy and a bit outrageous... . Ideas??

Kristen, thanks for the tips... I'm a bit less scared now and I hope to buy hair and stuff from you soon. Only thing is that I still doubt what to get: straight or bodywave My hair is neither here nor there LOL. It's pretty straight on top and towards the bottom it gets wavy, so I'm worried about the wavy part sticking out of straight extensions...
