Im good with the length FinaFina. If its closer to 20 Im ok. 18 inch is the shortest that I like to go on length, and I prefer to stay in the 20-22 inch range. How do the ends look? Does it look as the ends will need much trimming? It would just be nice if these companies would send the length that you order! Is that too much to ask? LOL

Hi Sherrie: Actually I recall in earlier discussions that you suggested we order the longer length because of the triming we might need to do. SO THANK YOU -- I recally you saying that sometimes you had to trim off as much as 5 inches. This hair needs MAYBE an inch trimmed. If you look at the photo by the pool it shows the ends. Honestly, they are in darn good condition. Anyway I'll see what my Indian boyfriend says . . .and in the meantime I"ll ship out the hair!!

well I remember the discussion but I cant remember who it was that said sometimes they had to trim up to 5 inches.(Maybe Kimbearly) Phew....Im glad we wont have to trim that much! LOL I thought the photos looked like the ends were in pretty good shape, but its difficult to tell in a picture. Hey I will need some bleaching help, I remember we talked about that a little.

I am going to bleach a batch of it. I need to get some wetter bleach; the "cream " bleach gets too dried out and what I've discovered is that the hair comes up beautifully in the first 5-10 minutes, with heat; after that it's kind of useless. I recall my hairdresser talking about the fact that the hair and bleach need to stay moist. I'll experiment on Saturday a.m. and see what happens. Just FYI: I am still wearing a few strands of this hair, bleached, and it is holding up absolutely beautifully.

Fina, please do not feel bad about any of this because it is not your fault. We all went into this kind of blind since you never ordered a real order from them and we all went in it with you to get a great deal on hair. The hair does look very pretty and shiny. I still want the hair too and the ends do look really nice. Still interested in what he had to say but please send mine out Again, Thanks for everything.

EMAIL DIALOGUE BELOW. Whew. At least he replied, and, um, I feel kind of stupid at this point, but oh well. . . live and learn!! The supplier is called Sri Nivetha, and they are based in Chennai, India. The order took about 2 weeks total, but he had told me that so there were no surprises. He let me know that they were working on a double drawn order and asked if I wanted to be part of that. As I said I've dealt with a lot of asian suppliers in my business and so I felt that this was a good one. He delivered what he said he would, in the time he said it would. So here's our answer gals!
*************************************************
Dear Ms. Carolyn,
Received your mail. Madam, remy double drawn 20"-21" after wefting will be around 18"only.
Also to have a good finish the bottom side is level trimmed after wefting is done.
Hope you understand this Please note if you want 20" remy double drawn after weftinig then you must order 23"-24".
Kindly give us your opinion regarding the quality of hair and wefting.
any further questions please feel free. Awaiting your reply.
Thanking you,
With regards,
M. Senthil

Hello Mr. Senthil:
I received your shipment. However, there is a problem! I ordered 20-21" hair and this is 18" maximum; in fact most of it is 17"! I sold it to people based on it being 20-21", but it is much shorter.
What happened? I am very concerned. I paid the price for 20"-21" but did not receive anything near that.
Please reply. This is a major problem.
Best regards,
Carolyn

You know FinaFina, now that youve mentioned this I do recall hearing that before too. When you order raw hair that you have to order several inches longer if you have them weft it! If we had purchased bulk, we would have gotten the full 20-21 length. So we live and learn! We will have to remember that for a future order!

Just wanted to confirm, Fina, that I am still happy to take the hair I ordered, regardless of the length Thanks again for all the effort you put into it for us!
This happens all the time when you source direct. Sorry girls I
did mention this about my sourcing experience and the length
issues dealing with them. They told me 2" gets taken off when it
goes into wefting production, but I have seen them take off
more like 3-4" off the length!! The hair looks beautiful Fina. I
think he is still worth working with because this hair looks very
good and the length is not 3-4" shorter than expected. They
should really explain the wefting hair length loss prior to you
purchasing but they ever do. I always order 4"-6" longer length
to be guaranteed the length I want and allow for trimming the
ends. I think the ends look pretty decent from what I can see
from the photos. Good Luck with the hair girls!!

Yes I washed it and it is absolutely gorgeously straight-ish when wet and dried completely shiny and straight. No change in texture whatsover: Not stick straight, not wavy, but just ever-so-much-of-a-hint of a natural wave.
I can't wait to play with it this weekend (coloring wise)!!!
I know I can get to 8 and 613 very easily; I'm thinking of ordering some of the RK hair for the more-difficult-to-achieve in-between colors. But the AWESOME thing is that since this hair is so close to my natural color (very dark brown), the way it processes coloring-wise is very close to my own, and the match ends up being really great!!
I still have some of the 613 in that I bleached, what, a month ago? It is absolutely beautiful. It is kicking Bohyme's butt!!
Hey Fina- has all the hair been partitioned out yet? Are there two
spare bags, preferably as close to black as possible, and if so, how
much would you want for them?
