QuoteReplyTopic: Another Lush*Hair review! Posted: October 09 2005 at 8:09pm
OK...Im at 5 weeks with a combination of 3 brands of hair for a side by side comparison.
As you all probably know by now, I used hair from hair21.com for a few years and was very happy with it. I ranted and raved about the quality of the hair. The last order was so difficult and plagued with problems, and when I finally did get it, something was different about the prebonded tips. They shed badly. Well with no success of dealing with the Korean company. I re-tipped all that I had, and went on a mission of finding a comparable quality human hair.
I installed 1 4 ounce weft of Bohyme straight. 2 ounces of hair21 hair and 2 ounces of Lush*Hair. All for comparison purposes to see exactly under the same conditions and *torture* that I put my hair through, how each brand would hold up!
The Lush*hair is by far holding up better than the Bohyme, and is of the same comparable quality of the hair21. hair.
I literally 'torture' my hair. I wash, blowdry, and curl on a daily basis...so it doesnt get any more harsh that this! The Bohyme looks wonderful, if I wear it straight. But this Bohyme straight doesnt react well to curling with an iron. It looks frizzy on the ends when I use a smaller barrel iron. The lush and hair.21 hair takes and holds the curl well, and doesnt frizz.
Im at 5 weeks with LG bonded in wefts and shrinkies. I will update again before I take down, with a final review. Bonds are going strong so Ill push the bonds as long as possible. I am sure that this hair will outlast the LG bonds. Im sure I will get at least 2/3 more weeks out of the bonds.
If blonde hair can last 8 weeks with the torture that I give it....it would probably last twice as long for someone who is gentler to their hair! Over all the Bohyme and the Lush* Hair both get a thumbs up from me. Although I think the Lush is better than the Bohyme straight for my purposes. And my next install will be Lush*Hair!
The hair21 hair *is* good so that's a great compliment.
I really wish I could've gotten wefts this time. Why? I tried those
damn screw thread microrings that I got as a sample from a supplier.
I put them in 2 rows on the side of my head and tested the Lush Hair
with them for about 2 weeks. I have *mangled* my hair. They would
not come out and every single one was a damn drama to open. My
long crown bangs are ok and the bottom layer is fine but I have two
perfectly shredded rows on both sides of my head. I had to cancel
boogiemama last week and I am just sick about it. There is NOTHING
to braid there. I'm doing my RK clip-ins again above and below the
damage. I could sure use some of that Lush in weft form right now to
do your sandwich install.
OMG I am so sorry to hear about that damage. They sell those micro-rings over here in the UK with the screw and that too happened to me. They should be shot for making those! x
oh my god i just wanted to order microrings i thought theyre ok to use because i dont wanna glue the wefts in how can i wear wefts without glueing or microrings? i dont wanna sew them in because of bad experience with sewn in wefts
what about the microrings with silicone in it?

Yep Kristin..its silky straight, and looks wonderful worn straight or with just the ends curled under, or with a big loose wave. But if I use a 3/4 or 5/8 barrel iron, like I usually use, the ends just look frizzy and fried, and if I brush it it poofs into a frizz ball!
Gosh you must really *torture* your hair I've never had any of the Silky Straight poof up or get fried and I straighten it or curl it everyday. I've had my #613 in for about 3 months and it's still super soft. Good to hear you like the lush hair though, I'll have to try some from Amm.
Kristen the silky straight Bohyme has been like that from the beginning. I just dont think its meant to be in tighter curls and possibly the body wave would work better for that purpose, but for the curls that I normally wear, the silky straight Bohyme just doesnt perform for me. The Bohyme is not fried by any means, and it looks wonderful straight, wavy or in a big loose curl
hi sherrie - may I ask where you buy the Lush Hair? I went with
his and her for wefts for glue bonding, and at week 3 now the
hair is constantly matting up at the back and its driving me
batty. I'd love to find something new. thanks for the
review!
thanks gina. I'm not sure I'm up for the challenge yet of doing
DIY shrinkies (although I'm considering it), so I guess I'll keep on
the search for better quality wefts than the ones I'm wearing
now. the lush hair sounds gorgeous though!
