I mean the Russian hair and Bohyme hair is not comparable in my opinion. It feels to me that the Bohyme hair is coated because after a while it changes which is a pretty good sign that it's coated. I've had the Russian hair for several months now and it hasn't change at all. It's virgin and not coated so it's not going to change. Don't get me wrong,  I wore the Bohyme hair for some time and it was great but not even comparable to Russian virgin hair, which is the best for me.

Really? When you say "coated" do you mean a silicone coating? I notice that whenever I have had human hair extesions, they look and feel great at first. Really shiny, tangle free and a lot of bounce and movement. Then wash after wash, they get more and more ragged looking. Is that because you are washing the silicone off? I think that might be part of my frustration with human hair and why I was thinking of trying a synthetic.

Or Russian?

So would you say they are worth the extra dough? Can you recommend a good site to purchase Russian hair?

I have no idea what they're coating the hair with and IF they're coating it but I know when I've tried several brands after washing the hair over and over it changes (for the worse)

Silicone came to mind when you said coated but lord knows what else could be used. Im guessing it would also add weight to the hair so they can get more money by volume or whatever. I always try to shampoo as little as possible when wearing extensions but it irks me to get oily bangs and stuff.

speaking as a professional-
first off  i am glad she was nice. that is always a plus. and you did get the extensions for a lower cost as a model, however with that said, you are still entitled to quality products and work. The fact that the hair is matting and comming out is reason enough for you to go back to her. She didnt put them in for free, and your money is your money.
I would be very nice and give her a call and tell her what is happening. If she is any kind of pro~ she will gladly fix them for you.
good luck

Yes, I believe that russian hair -or another type of virging hair like virgin asian hair- are on another level. Bohyme probably has a coating, but it seems like it goes away after a LONG time, and the hair still doesn't get crappy like low quality coated hair.
Here's a link to see my last install pictures with Bohyme SS:
(you can just use the "search" button too to find them)
and if you're interested in russian hair, I would recommend you to go to diyextensions.net, because they talk extensively about it on this forum
Good luck

Wow, looks fantastic! The Russian hair is probably top of the line and I have heard that people really like it and its worth the extra money but that Bohyme looks very nice also.
