Thanks lou, that is also much appreciated and spoke from one of my clients. No doubt when Lou starts up she will too be purchasing my hair.
Some confusion seems to have begun why people have been offended when Kristen's post doesn't seem to have been directly directed at me, here is the post that was posted before it was edited just to be clear why there were the responses that there were before it was then edited.
This is what I was told and I just wanted to pass it along. With this being said, it does not mean that some of the knock off brands of Bohyme are bad hair, from what I've heard the hair Amanda uses is great but it's not authentic from the Bohyme company. Sorry for the bad news but I think it's important information that buyers should know.

Hi Amanda
Sorry to come back and see what you woke up to this morning.
Please don’t worry……your business and reputation will not be
harmed in anyway. We all have come to know you as our hair
buddy and love your work. I know you would only use quality
remy hair. Your work is lovely and admired by many and so
your work speaks for itself. There’s no better judge than
yourself between the US Bohyme and the UK Bohyme really.
You have done amply testing with both….over a 100 plus
installs right?. If you and your clients are very happy with the
product and it performs the same or better than the US Bohyme
with no tangles for the 3 months of wear then really there’s no
damage done. You should feel good about your hair you
provide….you are bringing quality hair to your clients and it has
lived up to the Bohyme name and 3 month tangle guarentee. If
you were buying under the name Bohyme and it was
performing exactly like the US one them what was to question?
This is not your fault!! Sorry this went down like this ….but you
have my support and I would buy your UK Bohyme any day if I
need some in the future.

This is also from my bohyme supplier.
Hi man that’s obsurd.
AS you quite rightly so mentioned sharps global trading holds the patent on bohyme.. so whats all the fuss about!!! Its marketed under Celebrity elite . its cheaper than the USA bohyme and as many people have commented better. If Bohyme USA have any problems they will take it up with Sharps Global Trading. And surely would have done in the last 2 years.
That’s all I can say. What else can I say about this.
If u get any more mails send them to me I will take it up with sharps aswell to let them know whats going on in the market with respect to this and they can take neccessary action.

The reply from my supplier.
Yes the Bohyme is genuine from the United States marketed under our brand name Celebrity Elite.
If you need more information please call me on 00 4 7845 355 455 or email me at yaser@baacha.com.
This is the e-mail I've sent direct to the supplier.
Hi there, I am a hair extentionist and have recently been purchasing your brand of hair as well as passing this onto individuals. I would like to make it clear before I carry on with this e-mail that I have no qualms or have had no complaints from the other individuals about your hair.
There is I'm sure you are aware a hair extension chat forum called hairboutique.com. Myself along with others regularly post comments on hair extension techniques and obviously about hair extensions. This is purely a discussion board. I assume that you know that a website exists www.bohyme.com this also sells bohyme remi hair. Someone on this discussion board has contacted www.bohyme.com and questioned the authenticity of your bohyme remi hair and this company have then said that you are basically a copycat company and your hair is not in fact bohyme remi hair. I have attached the thread from the discussion board for your information.
I would really appreciate it if you would help me clear this matter up as it isn't doing a lot for the reputation of my business and the hair I use if its being said I use "fake" products. I am quite happy with your hair and so are my clients and I will continue to use it but some clarification is obviously required as to whether this hair is in fact the same as the USA bohyme, if it is from the same supplier and why they are calling you a copycat.

My hair originates from this website www.celebrityelite.co.uk I'm going to e-mail the company and see what they say. Does anyone have a microscope, I'd like to get USA bohyme and UK bohyme under it! If anyone has USA bohyme and would like a sample of UK bohyme to compare and decide which is best for themselves pm me and I'd be happy to send them one. I can only reiterate what I've said in the past. When I first started extensions I used USA bohyme. I was very happy with it but the shipping took too long. I could never do clients say next day because it took about 12 days for the hair to arrive. I did some research and found that Sharps Global Trading had the patent on bohyme hair, if anyone does a search they will see this, so why do they have the patent on it if they aren't authentic suppliers of it. I don't know how patents work but would they have just let them do this? This is how I found my present supplier. Obviously I was dubious about trying a new hair supplier but I found the hair to be the exact same texture, feel, even after washing (as I wear it myself) and longevity. At the end of the day my clients surely would have noticed a change in the hair wouldn't they??? After doing over 100 heads, yes I've had bad batches of hair, out of those 100 I've had 3! I have the blonde hair in and I don't get tangles. Some people do report tangles and dry ends but they did with the USA bohyme. I don't know what else to say really guys other than get my clients to come on the board and report on the hair, what would you want me to do?x
Did I miss something? Where was Kristen attacking Amanda's product? Were people assuming that Kristen was talking about Amanda's Bohyme? Kristen, I have always thought of your posts as professional, informative and non self promoting. Thanks for the info on the Bohyme.
There does seem to be quite a bit of self advertising lately on these boards, more than usual. (my opinion)

Thank you Sherrie, I've been looking like this for the last couple of hours. I was looking to see if I could find any of the past posts about people questioning the Bohyme brand but theres about 430 posts with the word Bohyme in them Here's the main 3-page post that first got my gears going on the subject:

All Im saying is there is obviously conflicting information....and Im not saying anyone is right...or anyone is wrong. But until all facts are verified I wont call anyones product fake...or unauthentic. But I have no doubt in my mind that its possible that Bohyme...is only a small company probably owned by a bigger company...owned by a much larger company....who are involved in alot other foreign industry and trading...and that same hair may be also packaged otherwise. Who manufactures Bohyme hair? I dont know....so not knowing all those facts I cant make any assumptions. I know that Baacha traders is involved somewhere in there...along with Sharps Global trading...so who knows? Anything is possible. I cant say I begin to understand business/foreign trade....and I can gaurantee that the hair that is manufactured for Bohyme starts out in a foreign manufacturer.
I can say that the hair I used to buy from Korea....is packaged by MANY companies with different labels. I was purchasing straight from the manufacturer. The hair went from the manufacturer to several companies who put their own name on it.
Im sorry Kristin if I offended you...was not my intention...I think you have a great website...Ive ordered from you several times, and I think you are an awesome extensionist and very knowledgeable....I just disagree that it was handled in the right way.

Thank you Kristin, for pointing out a cold hard fact that many of us obviously have, or would have been, misled about, mistakingly or not. And thank you to everyone here who has ever investigated, tested, and evaluated any product and reported your findings. Your conclusions go a long way in helping those of us who care about what we put in our hair, not to mention save us a ton of money and frustration.

This post was not aimed at Amanda it was aimed at answering the question of Authentic Bohyme. Obviously there has been an issue from reading the above reply posts that people have been buying imposter Bohyme on Ebay and elsewhere. Look at the first and second responses: "I had a client buy what was suppose to be bohyme on ebay for 1/2 the normal price. It came with a sliver of the tag lol, and matted in a week".... and....."Thank you for posting this, it's good to finally know the answer!" (an above response after buying foreign "Bohyme" hair from Jazzy hair).There has been questions about this on and off this board I merely answered it. I wasn't even going to mention Amanda but I wanted to give her credit because dispite my findings I still knew that she was selling good hair. Her installs look amazing and she's been using it long enough to confirm that it is quality hair. This being said I'll remove anything about Amanda in my first post even though I think without saying "dispite my findings, Amanda still has great hair" it gives her no credit what so ever.
I went straight to the company... the one behind Bohyme.com is there possibly a higher place to go for evidence??? There's no chance in H*ll I would have posted this if I wasn't 100% positive, I would never do that about any product.
Last week there was a post regarding the packaging of Bohyme where I first heard that it was possibly being packaged differently in other countries. I said i was going to ask and I did. I said I would report my findings back to the board and I did.
I've been on this board longer than 99% of the people here, about a year and a half now. I've offered tons of information and I'm just trying to answer peoples questions and offer my advice. Please if anyone took offense I send you my deepest apologies I was just offering broad information to the board because I don't know of anyone else here who has direct contacts to the Bohyme Company.
If the company is open during the holiday tomorrow I will post their phone number along with more proof that this is the authority on Bohyme so all can call and see for themselves.
