Im not saying no way to Indian or Asian hair ever again also. What i was thinking i might even do at some point is maybe one weft of really nice virgin Indian if i could get my hands on some and then 2 wefts of Russian on the top levels. My thinking on that is the Indian would give it slightly more body underneath and then have the Russian layers up top. I dunno. maybe at some point.
It's always good when you find hair that works for you!Tongue 
 
My point was similar to MsHoney's.. quality of hair has nothing to do with the ethnic orgin of the hair.. A lot of the programmers I work with are either Asian or Indian.. To say all Indian hair or ALL Asian hair is any ONE thing or another is too broad.. I've yet to see some of those generalizations really apply to the Indian and Asian people I've known... I've also seen women wearing Indian and Asian hair that is simply beautiful.. I have also worn LOTS of Indian & Asian hair that is beautiful..
 
MsHoney is right.. There are plenty of options out there of vendors selling ALL kinds of high quality hair. So the real trick IMO is to find hair that suits your personal style and budget..

Thanks MsHoney. Now I know at least where to start for remy Indian. I had just concluded they processed it all to make it a caucasian match. That was my main concern with it.

Hey Malibu. I'm not sure but I THINK some girls on BHM had some problems with them but I may be getting them mixed up with someone else. Check there. Have you searched here? The name sounds familiar.

Thanks Mshoney! I'm going to look into that. Have you heard anything about trueindianhairs.com? I spoke to Karen, I think she's the owner, and she said her hair is virgin too. I'm curious about her product. She sent me a sample and it was lovely but it was too straight. My hair has a wavy frizzy thing going so I'd like to match that.

  You have to ask around. I never go by what the vendor says they want your money even the reputable ones but how could you tell the difference. Mokipono?? has a way to test for remy hair on her site.
   www.remyhairtoday.com , www.mymaneattractions.com, and  www.halleyscurls.com these are the ones I've researched and they had great reviews. I've talked to people who've used them and they recommended them to me. Perfectlocks.com didn't have any reviews good or bad when I bought it. I have fine textured hair, naturally curly and when I flat iron it,depending on how straight I make it, I can where just about any fine textured hair.

MsHoney I would like to know also where to get actual virgin Indian. If I could find it and know for certain it was unprocessed Indian, I would definitely give it a shot as a layer in this weave. When i wore Indian, I liked it for about a month and then it went to hell. Thats all im saying so the virgin has to be found somewhere.

And wouldnt it be funny if the "Russian" all this time was genetically engineered in some lab with super squirrels? That would explain the price tag at least hahah

That would suck. Im already in debt now due to doing GL and then Hairlocs back to back like a mad woman. One good thing is I LOVE the weave thing and that is so much more cost efficient. Yes i will say it! WEAVES are great! heheh

I'm just a girl who wears extensions like the other girls here. I glad you love your hair. It just pisses me off when SOME of these distributors use false advertising and women get ripped off.

Okay point taken. Im sorry if it was misinterpreted that way. Its just nice hair and thats ALL it is. Lord, if i could find ANY other type hair that worked as well for me (once again ME) then I would be buying and wearing that. MSHoney I always like your input and you are very on top of the industry and know your stuff so I have the UTMOST respect for your opinion and Im sorry if I offended you or anyone else. I would just shut the thread down if its bothering people but Im not a mod and such.

they can call it what it is, fine textured hair. If you want to pay for a title more power to you, knock yourself out. But for those of you who just want hair that matches your hair's texture you CAN find less expensive hair that will match just as well and please remember it's just hair and somebody elses hair at that!!!!

We need to stop tripping and stop acting like it's the second coming of Christ. There are girls here who get great matches from synth hair too and are very happy with it. When it starts defining who we are then we need to take a step back and reevaluate because something is very very wrong.
IT'S JUST HAIR!!! I know women who've had various forms of hair loss and don't act as crazy as some women here do about HAIR that came off of some other womans head!!!

MsHoney, I dont care if this hair came off mules on a good diet in South America. Its is the best fine textured closest match to my own I have ever found. Its called Russian so what else are ya gonna call it? Ive worn Indian. Ive worn Asian and it has not lasted for me. This hair is like night and day in comparison. That is just fact.

If you told me this hair was Indian, I would say, great, where do I get more. I could not care less what title it has only that it works for me.

Hey Girlie. I've bought very fine very silky virgin Indian remy hair. It will match ANY fine caucasian textured hair.
I do not believe that most hair labeled as Russian is truly Russian anyway. I think it's just plain fine textured hair, it's just a marketing ploy. Women hear Russian and lose the dang on minds. Why Russian, why not French or Canadian or British or American, how would we know. European? Maybe. Russian only? Please!
 
Find some fine textured hair and save yourself some money. They're probably using the same fine textured Indian remy I bought and quaddrupled the price!!
