You are correct.!!!!... The hair is wonderful and I'm not in anyway putting it down!! It is the texture that does not match, I did send them a sample of my own hair and ordered the "European body wave" which is supposed to be the lightest in texture they have. I talked to Tina many times, I even have them programed into my phone! (now that is bad)! She was very helpful and even would call me when she had questions..... They have excellent customer service!!!! and again the hair is wonderful!!! but the Russian is lighter in texture (so far, but haven't washed it or put it in) I did tons of research on this board to try to find the best I could and EP was the one!!!! It's almost perfect, but I am such a snob when it comes to extensions and I want them PERFECT!!!!! So now I have found the Russian hair, and the texture matches my hair wonderfully!!! also the light brown I ordered even matched the color!!! I have another weft on the way and I hope this one matches as well....and hopefully this is it!!! and I will have this hair forever!!,. well almost...... (if I don't cut it like always)
you gals on this board have been soooo helpful I cannot express how much I have learned and I will be a first time DIYer on saturday!!!!!
can anyone tell me how to post pictures?

I'm holding my breath here waiting to hear more about this hair. Where exactly in Orange County is this company located? I'm probably close enough to easily stop by and check it out.

Well, that's odd. Makes me wonder, when they come on so strong with the sales pitch and won't even tell you where they're located.
Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE!

Gene was checking those pictures out... what did you do to me..... made me wide!!!! but I think I have something for now...
ok this is a start... don't have anything in order but you can see the hair... now remember I only have 2 wefts in on one row. :) that would never have worked with any other hair for 20" 3rd weft on order!! I haven't cut or colored this hair. (well trimed a tiny bit) but when I get the 3rd weft will go in and have it professionally cut!!!

question...why are the double drawn wefts cheaper than the handtied single drawn?
The double drawn hair is not wefted that's why (I assume) it costs less..
I just got my sample of this hair today.. I wish it was wefted so I could see and evaluate the weft construction.. The hair seems very nice, but it's hard to put the hair through it's paces and really tell since it's not wefted..

And that is some mighty EXPENSIVE hair!
Amen!!!
ALL VIRGIN RUSSIAN HAIR MICRO THIN WEFTS ARE 11 INCHES WIDE AND WEIGH APPROX.1-1.25 Oz. (28.4-35.5 grams)
So if I were to buy 8oz of 15-16" Straight (approximately 8 wefts) the cost is $1,256.00.
Heck for this cost I could order 10-12 oz of custom Extensions Plus hair again..
If I were to buy 8oz of 15-16" Straight double drawn, the cost is $616.00. Let's say I did buy this, I'm still looking at approximately $200 in wefting costs if I were to send it to Extensions Plus to have the hair wefted..

Hello Sherrie,
We do not make wefts from single drawn hair. We sell wefts, that are made from double drawn hair, and bulk double drawn hair in bundles that is ready for pre-bonding, wefting and ventilating.

Gene with all due respect, you have no idea WHAT KIND of hair I have.. I simply said Afro relaxed hair.. You ASSUMED that meant my hair was coarse.. (an often made, and often WRONG assumption) For the record, your hair sample would EASILY blend very nicely with my hair.. You'd be surprised what my hair could easily blend with..
The point I was making is that IN MY OPINION for the money your hair costs, I or ANYONE ELSE could get custom made Extensions Plus hair.

Now I can say I have ordered both!!! from Extensions Plus and Russian hair and I would have to say that they are almost the same price. I am sitting here looking at my Extensions Plus invoice and I ordered 16" 1.25 oz and it cost me $202.46 and that is not hand tied! that was machine wefted. I did send them a color sample of my hair so it was custom. I think both company's have very high quality hair and wonderful customer service! The Russian hair just has a better texture for me. ( But I must say I love the wave the Extension Plus has)
I have posted both of the hair on my photo sight. and you can see both hair wefts before installation. ( I know I'm sick I'm taking lots and lots of pictures of everything) I am going to document everything!!! (hair growth hopefully!!!

Yup... If you do the math!!!! I'm not an any way putting EP down... I think they have excellent quality of hair, but that is what I paid for the 1.25 oz I got!!! Have invoice to prove it!!! But maybe these girls get a better price then I got????? you can also see in the pictures I have provided that your one 11"x18" weft was an extremely good amount of hair!!! ( the most I have ever seen on one weft!!!)
Now these pictures were taken for my purpose only and didn't plan on posting them, so I didn't get very good ones.... sorry!!!
Good quality hair just costs some bucks!!! no matter where you go!!!! but IMO I think it's worth it!!!
Gene, Thank you sooo much for the excellent customer service you have provided me... I can not wait to put in the last weft!!!!
