Kalika are you using light colored or darker hair? It seems like alot of the problems are worse with the blonde. Im gonna post a pictures of my matting problem. Ive never experienced matting like this with ANY hair.

This RK install is just over 2 weeks. My hair had been brushed out about 3 hours prior to these pictures. This is the back of the hair underneath (at the neck area where the hair lays on my back)

I slept with Biosilk silk therapy on my hair all night, well see what happens when I wash it this morning

well Im rather satisfied with the RK hair, yes its a bit tangly but all long hair tangles, when I had my (real) hair waist length it would tangle like a mofo.

I also dont seem to have problems with it shedding or feeling dry.  its probably the best bang for your buck.

I have no shedding issues with RK, but the matting at the neck, and the tangling when wet is a becoming an issue. Mine is the #22 blonde, Im not sure if the darker colors are better or not?

Well Ive posted this in several other threads, so sorry if I'm just repeating myself, but I think it sheds a WHOLE lot. I got a package of machine wefted and a few packages of hand wefted.  Both shed from running my hands through it and also a lot when I tried to seperate the stiffness out of the curls in the first wash.  First wash I had loads of shedding. The curlier textures all tangled when they were wet. After having nature girl in my head for a few weeks I definitely won't be wearing RK in the future.  Of course, RK hair is pure heaven compared to crappy BSS Hollywood deepwave hair I used to wear before I discovered indian hair online.  My house is still full of reminders of that nasty hair I wore for years. I will never ever get every strand of that shedding hair out of my carpets.

Perhaps people who like loose french refined curls will be happy with the deepwave but if you want bouncy curls you will be very disappointed.  The hair is very pretty and soft to touch and only seems to tangle when its wet, but again, I now only want hair that doesn't shed and this stuff, at least the curliest textures all shed.  I also see lots of white hairs in my batches. Not sure why.

Dry ,Tangly, Might be to much wok geting back in silky condition.It's very heavy looking and would not blend in to my finer client's hair I would spend the extra money and by bohyme or EP because I would at least know what Im going to get. I have a full bag of  color 22 straight double draw 18 inch if any one wants it. Still looking for great cheep hair but maybe it dosent exsit

hey all,

Im starting this post because RK hair has been used by many of you and I wanted to get your opinions on the hair itself, if thats ok =). What do you gals think of the hair overall?  Hows the upkeep, color, etc. I have been hearing some mixed opinions of this hair and I thought it would be good to have them all in one post. Thanx all

Life moves pretty fast. If you dont stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
