I bleach the hair always twice with 6% peroxid ( I don't know if I am right writing that in english) and let it on the hair for about 1 hour, also the 2nd one...
First you get an orange tone, and after the 2nd try you get blonde.... Normally I color it again, maybe light brown or dark blonde... I have a color chart too, but my cam won't work yet...
I think you can wear the hair 6 month and more, its up to you how you care and condition it....
For real? Yeah he totally told me the minimum was 5kg. Maybe I will use another email and ask if I can buy 1 or 2 because an acquaintence highly recommended him. But he definitely told me 5. How long since you last ordered?
Cherry, I don't know what color you were going for w/ NG hair. But this
is a pix of NG natural black, compared to the brownish-red color i
lightened it to. I just used basic box color, whatever I had in the
cabinet. I Usually keep at least 5 boxes around. But this was after
about 40 min time using the light blonde dyes .
That was the color I was going for! I must have gotten a hard batch because my hair was jet black and I tried everything. I tried a blonde on it. Kept it on there for an hour. I tried the highlift brunettes they recommended. I left that on for over an hour. Finally I give it a soap cap which a woman here recommended. (I didn't want to put any bleach in it, but I had to.) It was so dark and harsh on me. Some of the hair did pull a deep brown red, but most of them were still substantially darker than I wanted. Still it's darker than Im used to, but it looks good on me.
Is that deepwavy? NatureGirl said that usually most hair could be lightened to brown really easily. So maybe it was a fluke. Hopefully it wont be so hard next order, because I was so stressed out dying and redying that beautiful hair.
But that's totally the color I wanted! How did you color it so well on top? It doesnt even look darker on top.

Izabella, I believe 6% is what I would call 20 volume, 9% is 30 volume,
and 12% is 40 volume. I may have shifted that slightly but its
roughly correct. I've seen 50 Volume, but I've never even
considered buying it, much less using it. You are mixing that
with bleach right? (powder or oil).
arghh I want to go home and play with my hair. I hate work!
Cherry, That's NG 2b wavy. I didn't do anything special to
color it. I used Bigen xpressive Honey Blonde, and some boxed Loreal
blonde color. Whatever was handy. When I reused the hair, i darkened it
back up to like a #2 because it was really too light for me. That
particular weft got lighter than i wanted it. I was going for a dark
brown. I used some black Revlon color on it and darkened to #2..
And it was soooo soft after the color. I'm sure I can lighten it again
too if i need to.
I'd be bummed too if i bought NG expensive hair and then couldn't get it to color!
Oh I was STRESSED out! I already was feeling majorly guilty for blowing about a grand on hair and I had to redye it like 3 or 4 times! I was afraid it was going to be all damaged but it's still so very soft. I think it was just my tough luck that it wouldn't color. Also annoying was that they were lifting all slightly differently. They all mixed beautifully, but I was sweating bullets because I was getting all kinds of shades. I'm happy with it now, but next time I do want lighter. I can't imagine hair being any nicer than Nature Girl though.
Do you find that you get kinda dry hair before the day is out and have to rewet it? It's so beautiful after I do it, but late in the afternoon it seems to get drier and more frizzy. I put some more oils in it today. Optimum oil therapy which is a combo of coconut, olive, avacado and jojoba and the hair really softened up. This hair really loves oils.
I used phyto products on my NG (defrisant and phytolisse serum).
I didn't need to do anything to mine during the day even when out at
the beach. Sometimes i'd put a 'smidge' of biosilk serum on it, or
oscar blandi. Just a dab tho
Hey mocha, I always use powder, in germany there is no liquid for bleach.
The hair is very natural, and the smell is great
Some bundles are small and short, also little bit wavy, but after washing and when you work with it, it is great.
Its shiny and no tangles, thats why skm's hair is top for me.
I have only 2 bundles of skm hair left, these are shorter ones... I sell them on ebay.
And here is the favorite, that is 18 inch wefted natural indian hair:
Mmh I hope you can see the pic, I cannot :-(
This hair I got also from india, super fine handtied weft, and the hair is sooo straight and silky... But the supplier makes always normal amount on order, so I have to pay lot of custom fee :-(
I also have pics of really really bad hair I got... I am searching always for natural hair in india, which is to 90% ok, other 10% is crappy stuff.
Shepard India can be also ordered online, this was the eeeekiest hair I ever got. I ordered some blonde hair, and got strawberry.. Weft sheds like crazy and you can put the hair in the trash after washing, because its so frizzy and tangly....
This guy seems to speak better english. They have a slicker website. They swear up and down they can get deep curls like the bliss picture I sent and said I could order 1kg as a trial. They also have a colored hair which you were interested in.
