May I ask who are you buying from or is that a trade secret?

Yeah, a good indicator is if 90% of the posts a user is making are recommending ONE company. That's a start!

And that's also why I recommend checking with BBB.

You also have to be very careful about who you are listening to on anonymous forums. You probably could search and read a lot but it doesn't mean you will find a lot of truth.

Sure thing. But you never know what's better. Some personal recommendations on forums should be arrested.

And if you do a search for russian, the other 'seller' ... you'll see who it is if you do a search.  I've read about some pretty scary customer service on this and other forums.

I have very fine, straight hair. So far the very best extensions I have worn have been the virgin Russian. They are the most expensive on the market that I have seen but I literally wore 3 wefts for over a year and the hair never tangled and was nearly as nice as the day it was installed. Maybe the ends became a tad bit dry but that could have been alleviated with product or a slight trim.

Virgin Russian is the bomb provided it matches your texture.

I always order my hair from Hair Extensions Outlet. They only carry straight human pre-tipped hair though. So, if you need 18" human hair for fusion or micro links, they are great and the quality is better than any I have ordered online by far! I am very happy with their hair so far.
