    Posted: June 28 2005 at 4:34pm

Im brand new hear and have been reading hair boards for 4 days straight trying to figure out what hair I should get.  I have worn beauty store hair for years and I am SOO fed up with it.  They type I get is a good and expensive as you can buy.  I do "fashion source" and "hollywood" and sometimes "bohym". Its pretty for a week. Last about a month because I treat it like it's gold, then I mat for 2 mos and brush it all day long just to keep the matting at bay. I can't stand it anymore.  I didn't even know this remy existed.  I have used bohyme before too, but I think the curly mats up just like the rest.  Plus the curly bohym is kinda of flat and ugly curls and there isn't much on the weft. I want something SUBSTANTIALLY better than boyhem. Maybe it's ok for straight, but I thought the curly was nothing better than hollywood american frenchwave.

So this is my delimna.  I like very full hair with a strong curl in it.  I was going to buy bliss hair but they emailed me today and said they are only accepting walk-ins and not excepting orders that need to be shipped. :(

I want this hair to LAST!  I want this hair to last an entire year JUST like they advertise without MATTING.  I don't give a flying pepperoni how much it costs at this point. I'm a desperate nappy headed woman right now with half of my expensive beautystore school matted at the back of my head right now.  So Bliss is not an option I guess.  Ive been looking at indianhairs.com but the curly hair sure looks frizzy and I hear that it has a lot of dead ends.  I have to have my hair at least 24 inches and the hair doesnt look overly curly.  I have been looking at naturegirl hair too.  They are so pricey (especially for the enormous amount of hair I like to wear at one time).  I'm willing to shell it out though, if it's worth it. 

Then there is extension-plus.  This hair looks beautiful and what I would love..

But it looks processed to me..not really cut off someone's head.  I've read great things about it here.  But will the curly REALLY last and last? Does it ever mat? Those who have worn it, how long did you actually wear it?  Has anyone here used Nature Girl and extension-plus and can give me some advice?  With the amount of hair I wear on my head at one time, this is going to be quite an investment and I will be guiltridden if I shell it out and it doesn't last but 3 mos.

Does this stuff TRULY not mat up? 

NG, RK, Extensions Plus?? What would you do?

Look forward to any advice I can get.

Hi! I've had Bohyme in for 7 weeks now and no matting... maybe you got a bad batch, or the products you're using arn't agreeing w/the hair?  Any pics?  I've heard that EP is better than Bohyme...

Nature Girl is virgin hair- you may want to try that.  Also what color is your own hair cause for example blonde curly hair is a rare find and of course you'd have to process it to achieve exact results.

I wear a medium brown # 4 usually.

Bridget, have you used the deepwave in bohyme?  That's what I used and was pretty unimpressed with.  I've read that the straighter is better, but  never ever wear anything but really curly.

  It didn't mat as bad as most hair that you buy at the stores but it definitely matted some, as well as lost a lot of its life and didn't have much body.  It definitely would not have losted a VERY long time.  I don't think it was a bad batch because I have used it several times.

Do you know if there is suppose to be a BIG difference between extension-plus and bohyme?

I got a client who's Bohyme handtied body wave last for 8 months.  6 months is average with my clients for Bohyme.  However, the hottest hair is RK and I hear similar quality as E. Plus.  http://www.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31370& amp;PN=2

I'm going to try that next since E. Plus is very slow with customer service.  They say they will return your call but never do.  They don't even have a toll-free number and their hair is so expensive.

Try the RK indian hair- Good Luck!

I was looking at RK too but I can't seem to find the curly hair.  I need it in 26 inch. 

http://rkhairproducts.com/online.html

Is this the only page for the colored remi?  I see "weavy" whatever that is, but no deep curl. :(

I believe they mean wavy. They're not native English speakers and all that.

(Not that websites made by native speakers have much better spelling sometimes )

Yeah that's what I figured...weavy was wavy.  I know they have curly hair here but when you click to the shop on the bottom there is no option to buy the curly.

http://rkhairproducts.com/virgin.html

I was a bit concerned because for being virgin hair that deep wave looks like a processed curl.  I'm not sure what a precurly is either, but neither of them are listed on the shop online page.

Anyone out there have experience with RK curl?

I did try emailing them about it, but no answer so far. 

I've been trying to give my money to bliss and rk.  Bliss doesn't want it and RK isn't around to take it. lol what a pain.  I need to get me some good hair soon!

The RK site is the one that offers processed hair for those of us who don't want to attempt color or curl processing. With my zero knowledge of color, the last thing I want is to take a $50 weft of hair and turn it into cotton candy.

And they do carry different curls in 26". Click on "Weavy Double Drawn Hand Weaving" and you have your choice of 4 different types of wave once you get to the shopping basket. You'll see a pulldown menu under "Structure."

Virgin/unprocessed hair is over on their mother site, Indianhairs.com. There's not even a color choice there; it's either going to be dark brown or black.

As far as the photo you posted and mentioned that you thought it was processed curl, here's a pic of some virgin Indian hair I have (not for sale):


The curl is not processed at all. Each one is uniquely different in color, curl and texture. One person's wavy may be another's curly so it might be a surprise to see what you get if you purchase from a company who doesn't specialize in personalized orders.

Good luck. 26" virgin/untreated hair in that much natural curl all the way through the entire length could prove to be a difficult find.

That bottom one looks like something I'd like. Could you tell me where you got it and what texture you chose? It's lovely. I'll go check out the page like you said. How silly of me not to have seen that. Thanks!
