Almost a week with Tease

I haven't got any pictures yet, but since I desperately wanted more reviews before I ordered the Tease I thought I would post for everyone.

Last week I installed 8oz of Tease 22 inch I-tips with silicone microrings color 1B.  When I opened the packages I was happy, although it did seem a little dry which I have found with most of my new hair.  Not crappy dry, just like it needed conditioned a little.  After washing and using Paul Mitchell skinny serum this hair is great!  I just wanted everyone to know not to plan on installing it and wearing it for a while before washing, but I always wash mine as soon as I can for blending anyway.

The length is very nice, measuring about 23 inches and only a slight taper at the end which I like because I feel that gives it a more natural look.  I like this hair much more than the D-lux hair.  The D-lux was nice but have a very thick texture, hard to explain but it didn't match my silky thin texture hair at all.  I would compare this texture to Bohyme as well as the quality, the hair is very similar I think.

When washed I used product and scrunched it to see if it would get a little curly.  It did end up very slightly wavy but had no curl to it whatsoever which is nice since the D-lux had more of a FR pattern to it.  I will guess that is blow dryed normally this hair would be super straight.    I did try to curl it without any product on it with just regular hot rollers and the curl didn't last too long, but I think now that I've added some product that I will try again with a curling iron and I think it will do great.  I had the same issues with the Bohyme.

I've wore just about every type of hair that I have found (WP, 909, bohyme, EP, wicked, etc) and I think this is GREAT hair for the price.  I have yet to find any comparable pre-tipped hair at such a great price and if anyone is wondering I wouldn't hesitate to order.

I'll update as I wear it and hopefully get pictures.

My mom has had hers in now for 2-3 weeks and it's doing ok.  she is wearing blondes and has had *some* tangling at the ends.  I think she needs to use more conitioner tho.  She likes the texture and the color really is gorgeous!

No offense to the Tease hair at all, but the Zig Zag hair is in a whole other category.  I paid well over $800 for the very long Zig Zag (the only bad point of that hair is too much tapering at the ends, I bought 26 and ended up with about 23 beautiful inches after cutting) and for the Tease it was less than $300 for 9 oz.

The Zig Zag hair is the ultimate hair in my opinion.  It had a gorgeous natural curl to it (got the wavy), straightened like a dream and held a hot roller curl until you washed it.  I work out alot and shampoo more than others and at the end of over 3 months it was still like the day I got it.  I would have wore it longer, but I didn't tip well (I tipped it myself) so I couldn't reuse it.  That being said, it was almost 3 times as much money.

The tease hair is great, but unfortunately I put some product in it and had beautiful curls for about an hour :(  It is beautiful hair, soft and silky but not holding a curl well at all.  I would suggest it also for those with straight hair who just like to blowdry and go.  You would not need a flat iron to have gorgeous shine and silky straight hair.  I like the hair so much that I'm going to try to come up with something to make it hold a curl.

Another thing I forgot to mention was how nice the I tips were.  The pieces are very generous yet the tip is nice and compact.  I lost a few bonds and even smashed in the microrings the I tips still looked the same, nice and tight.  I have had zero shedding.

I put the Tease I-tips on 3 clients, two of them blond and 1 dark brown.  The dark brown is doing fine, almost 3 months out.  The blonds on both clients (who are long time extension wearers) both turned to crap  within two weeks.  It did the whole 'creeping' hair thing, where the hair just mats up for no reason.  I had to take out the hair, and replace it with other hair and reinstall at my cost.  I lost money big time, so I won't be buying any more Tease.

I meant that $800 was ruined.  I would still be crying over that one!

Zig Zag hair? I am unfamiliar.... Info... Please share?? 

Oh.. the hair in my avatar is a curlier version of the ZigZag hair.. Pics in my fotki if you're interested in checking it out..

Ok, it has been well over a month and I still love the hair.  Actually it has got way better at holding a curl, but you do have to spray a ton of stuff before the rollers to get it to stick.

The condition of it is great, I would rate the quality of the hair (remember I wear the dark) better than bohyme as far as texture and shine etc.  I'm still disappointed  that it won't hold a curl without a ton of product, but  not enough that I won't use the hair again at some point.........I'll just use it during one of my straight hair phases.  If you want super straight hair with no need to straighten everytime this would be your dream hair!

For the price, this strand by strand hair has been the best value/quality yet!

I have so cap in a brown color, getting them removed next week.  So, do you think dark brown in Tease would hold the curl in it?

Thanks! I wear it curly so the Tease straight would not work for me.
