Record on the Russian?

Why are you acting so acusatory towards me?? I dont understand what I said to make anyone angry. I said I have tried many different extension methods that use Indian hair. I have never been able to find virgin Indian unless you count GL and now Im hearing that is not virgin and they do something to it to make it blend easier with finer hair. If I could find it, I would try. Why do you think I asked?? And no I have never been able to get a truly good match with the Indian. It looks okay and passable at first when its silkier but then as I have stated, it seems to change and I am guessing that is because I have never been able to find virgin Indian. When I say virgin I mean not processed at all. Also, it feels like two differnt textures to the feel even brand new. Its not horrible but you can tell a differance. With the hair Im wearing now, you cant at all. Thats why I prefer it. But if I could get a weft of virgin Indian I would be interested to see if i could blend it for slightly more fullness but as of now Im happy with this hair so it would be maybe a few installs down the line. If anything I was asking for help.

you have said that you haven't tried virgin indian hair let alone silky fine textured virgin indian remy hair so how do you know that it doesn't match well. Oh and Miss Kristie I've read your DIYE post.

Good to know. Before she listed those vendors I did not know where to look. I did some searching before I got clued into the Russian but it was overwhelming and because I was gun shy from past experience, I decided not to go with it. I just didnt want another disspointment. Like i said a ways up on the post, if I could find one virgin, unprocessed Indian weft, I would try adding it at some point.

 There is nothing wrong with Russian hair. What I'm saying is that you can get hair that matches your hair that's not from Russian women.

Okay and so...whats the problem? Indian hair is Indian hair Russian hair is Russian hair. I dont even care. The word I care about is the virgin part. I dont care if the donor has had sex or not lol sorry. i mean I just want hair that was grown and cut. It could have come from a 3 eyed purple person from jupiter really.

I said I had concluded that as I could NOT find it unprocessed. Every hair extension system I tried was using processed Indian or Asian hair. When i say processed I mean they were doing something to it. I was told its called an acid bath that strips the cuticle layer and then they use a silicone coating to replace shine and sheen. This made sense because it looked nice at first and then started to matt and tangle and this was because the silicone washes off. This was ALL I was able to find in the way of Indian hair so I became frustrated and didnt want to keep spending money on it, especially when it didnt totally match me and didnt hold up. I dont have money for that. This is all based on MY own years of wearing extensions. Its only recently that I have learned about virgin Russian hair and I read about it on the hair 101 on this site in fact.

Not true at all.. Remember that there are more than just caucasian women wearing Indian hair. A quick look around BHM will confirm that for you.. I can tell you FIRST hand that women with Afro textured hair are NOT looking for Caucasian textured hair..
