Satin Strands Premium Hair Extensions...

I dunno how well the satin strands hold up so I can't say which is better

But from what I know right now yes I would go with the Unique Wiiv over the Satin Strands if you want longer finer hair for less money.

But keep looking around if you have the time. You may find an even better deal for better hair.

I'm sorry I can't be more help

The UW is in stock at a beauty supply store that's pretty close to my house, so I get it there.

I just found some stores in downtown Chicago who carry the bohyme in stock so I'll have to check them out when I need more hair. First I have to use up what I have before I can justify buying more.

Still haven't had a chance to install with holidays and all, but I'll post pics when I do.

As a professional cosmetologist, I actually have been using Satin Strands for 2+ years now. I absolutely adore this line and prefer it over SoCap (for those of you who know what I am talking about).

I have found that most people who buy Satin Strands and "don't like" usually are the ones that are guilty of not taking care of extensions the way they were meant to be taken care of. The woman on here who said she had hers in for 2 weeks was actually taking amazing care and the right care of her extensions.

If you want optimal results with ANY type of extension (no matter what the brand) you need to:
-wash your hair with cold water (the way you're actually supposed to wash your own real hair)

-you CANNOT just ball it up on top of your head and lather as it is very damaging whether it be your own real hair or extension hair

-rub shampoo from root to tip in a downward motion ALWAYS

-use a good conditioner

-detangle gently from the bottom of the hair to the top with a wide tooth comb and air dry your hair

-If you are going to use ANY kind of heat tool on your hair you HAVE to use some form of heat protectant (just like your own real hair) otherwise you will run the great risk of frying, burning and damaging your hair.

-If you plan on coloring your extensions you will also incur some form of damage to the hair unless you are using a semi-permanent (since it has no ammonia, or peroxide). AND YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT USE CHEAP BOX DYE FROM THE GROCERY STORE!!! Why? Because it is straight up garbage and what is the use of buying a $100 pack of hair if you are going to use $3.88 Clairol from Walmart in it?!

I also wear Satin Strands fusion hair for 4 months at a time and have never had an issue in my own hair. OH! AND I have had the same bundle for a year and a half now. I am on my last round of using them because now they are cut to about 13" and my hair is 9" long. Every time I take them out I cut the old keratin glue off of them and re-tip them. So progressively they have gotten shorter.

Does it tangle? Yes! ALL hair tangles. Don't even try to tell me your $20 pack of hair doesn't either. ALL... HAIR... TANGLES. There is a difference, A HUGE DIFFERENCE, between tangling and matting. Satin Strands doesn't mat. Period.
