Each 100g weft (3.5 oz), including the wefting charge, costs me about $50. I'll know for sure when I get the international air freight bill. This is for double drawn, hand-wefted, remy, 20-21" long 'straight' (it's 'natural body') hair. I hope the hair is as good as the samples, as far as raw hair goes.
Ooh, that's what I get for being busy and not reading the board for a
few days. If you ordered some extra, Fina, I'll take two bags of it off
your hands when it comes in. My HH pinchbraid client should be coming
in again in a month, so no hurry.
OK everybody. The hair has been ordered!! I just wired the money to the vendor using Western Union (his request). So here were the hidden costs that I hadn't calculated in: it turns out that *no wefting* is included in the prices I listed; it's $45 extra (for the whole lot, which isn't too bad; it turns out to be $3.75/each per 100 g (3.5 oz) weft), and the wefting that I showed *was* hand-wefted, not machine wefted. OK, so far so good.
For this payment I had to wire the money so it was an addional $51 for that. He said we can work out different payment terms in the future when I balked at the Western Union fee!
Anyway. He will ship to me using UPS International service. I will advise when I have a tracking number !!
I'll keep y'all posted. . .just wanted to let you know the status!
I am so excited :O) I am ordering the 4 oz BTW. If the synth thing does not work with me I will have this hair on the side since the Bliss I am wearing now has almost had it's day. The Bliss hair that I am wearing is the natural straght and I love the way it holds it's curl. It is very easy to take care of too because the curl is natural so all you do is wash, condition and let air dry. The only draw back is virgin Indian hair is very expensive so Thank you Fina Fina for doing this for us.

Well, the EP hair that I have -- the Softwear -- is *lovely* -- but it does have "Made in China" all over it (on the labeling etc.).
So, I think that the EP hair is more naturally *straight* -- believe me it can be curled -- but the Indian hair just HOLDS a curl a lot longer if you curl it.

Ya know, in fact, the hair has *quite a bit* of body. I have side by side on my head right now, this Indian hair, along with the "straight" Extensions-Plus. The Indian Hair has *A LOT* more body.

that's what I thought. I was looking at extensions-plus hair this
week too and balking at the markup for pretipping... and their
'natural body' i'e unprocessed for texture is perfect.

natural body. They call it "straight". But it's not stick straight or anything. There's a pic in my other post. Their "wavy" is really over-the-top wavy and their curly is like certain body hair I won't mention.

OK y'all. I think we have enough for an order here. I'll place it tomorrow and will send you your pieces of it when it gets here; most likely end of this week.
Let's get the 20-21", Virgin, Wefted, Double Drawn. Here are the takers:
Elvira: 4 oz. ($49) Mochachip: 8 oz. ($98) Kimbearly: 4 oz. or 8 oz.? ($49 or $98) Sherrie: 8 oz. ($98) Sansconformist: 4 oz. ($49 - pd) Rae: Anything? Of Course me too: Whatever is left.
I will be bleaching and tipping mine, as well as doing a zillion color experiments.
I really want to be in, but I don't wear human myself, so I'd have to
have a need for the hair. If we got the longest length, I would
-definitely- have a client for it (especially if you can order it in
#8ish, if that doesn't complicate things), and would totally be in. If
we went for 18", I would probably be in.
Fina, I am in for trying this hair. Was wondering though - should we go for maybe the 20-21 just in case there are splits? With the bliss hair I had to cut about 5-6 inches off because of split ends.

I know I said I was in before, but right now I'm working this synth thing and don't have a need for hh at this time, and God knows I have a stockpile as is. So I'm going to take a pass this time. Thanks Fina - just wanted to let you know.
