Diva Hair

Hi, so I have some Diva hair from Aphrodites's salon.  It is virgin Indian remy.  I think it is somewhere between a #2-4 in color, and about 18" in length.  It has a nice wave to it, and I think I could probably get more curl if I scrunched and dried.  I haven't installed it yet, but plan on installing on Sunday.  So far I really like this hair,  I have washed it and it has dried really nice.  It is soft and has great ends, no greys and no nits (ok a few small shells, not anthing to really talk about). 

It has a zig-zag weft, and I have re-inforced this with fray-stop on one side only as it leave a white glue line.  So much for drying clear as the tube says.  Anyways, I have bleached a portion of this hair so that I can do some highlights.  I used Wella creame lightner for 30min. and it came out great.  No breakage or any damage to the hair shaft.  I conditioned with just regular conditioner and it is still soft.  I am going to apply color to that hair today to tone it down to a soft auburn.  Then I can't wait to get this hair on my head!!

The only thing that I am disapointed with is the fold over or the beard, but I plan on trimming that now that I have sealed the weft.

I will post more pics as the process goes along.  So far I am very happy with this hair!!

Ive been wearing my Diva Hair now for almost 2 weeks.  While I absolutely love the hair quality and texture, it is SHEDDING like a big dog!

I even Fray checked both sides of the weft and used NG on ends.  Dont think this will last as long as I had hoped...

gsmilie,

I wear a sew-in and have been doing so for awhile now.  It seems to be giving me the most growth while being the least damaging to my super fine hair.

I actually treated these wefts with much more care before installing than I have with any other hair I have bought just because I did want to make sure they lasted.  My weavologist even doubled over the wefts and continued to sew as to not have to cut them being they are hand-tied.  The tracks that I did have to cut were sealed very well with both fray check and nail glue at the ends.  She even re applyed LG to the ends after she sewed in.

Needless to say, I AM disappointed with the shedding, and at this rate, I doubt this weave will last not much longer without adding more hair. My weave alone is not cheap and this hair was by the ounce.

Just for the record, the hair IS gorgeous, a perfect match in both texture and color and I would purchase again if I knew a way to keep the hair in the weft and not every where else.

I asked Aphrodite what I could use to seal the wefts becuase in my past experience with zig-zag wefts the ends would shed where you would cut them.  She told me to use fray check, so I applied it to one side of the weft and now I have a wondeful white line at the top, it did not dry clear like the tube says that it will.  I have not cut anything yet, but I am wanting to trim the beard, as I am worried that it will get really itchy.

I am going to run the brush thru the hair right now and see if the shedding is any better after I fray-checked it.

When you get to talk with her, please give me the 411.  I chose to buy her hair (which isnt inexpensive by the oz btw) so that I could wear my weave a bit longer than the 3 wks I have been getting with other hair.  At this rate of shed, I could have just as easily bought a POUND of Indianhairs for what I paid for this, and prolly had it last longer!

Im gonna be sad this lovely hair didnt last!

Honestly so far the ONLY hair I know of (and have worn) which lasts for YEARS is Extension Plus.. That hair BARELY sheds.. It is expensive, but if you consider the LOW shedding and the reusablity of the hair (due to the LOW shedding..) well it is worth the money IMO..
