I had no idea that Bohyme was none cuticle, no wonder I had heard bad things about it (though I know some people use it all the time). Jetset on their site claim that their hair is cuticle correct, but now I am beginning to wonder about them too. I have ordered samples, so will know a bit more then. I have to have cuticle intact hair so if jetset is not, then it's on to wagman and being forced to buy a whol 1lb

Its such a shame that jetset went from all of the positive posts...to many negative posts. Something def. happened. I gave them over a month to pull it together before I pulled out of our 'almost' business relationship....things were just progressively sliding downhill.
Jetset does claim their hair has cuticle
As for Bohyme, Ive heard 'mostly' all good. Every now and then I hear a bad review of Bohyme, but not every brand works for everyone.
Some people claim Bohyme HAS cuticle, some claim it DOESNT. Apparently they remove 'at least' some of the cuticle leaving part of the cuticle intact. They claim to have a superiour technique in processing the hair, and they must because the hair is very good. Whether it is cuticle or not(?) it has held up better than most hair that I've ever used.
Whether the hair is cuticle intact or cuticle correct is two different things...cuticle intact means it still has a cuticle....cuticle correct means the cuticles all lay in the same direction.
Sheesh....can you believe what we go through to find good hair??...LOL
I know Sherrie, this obsession of ours will be the end of me I'm sure.
I think that the Bohyme bad reivew are largely of the textured hair that is for african american relaxed hair, stands to reason this will have probably been through a harsh processing system to create that coarse look. I have a package at the post office (which I am guessing may be the samples fro jetset, only then can I give a full comment. At least I trust Wagman to supply true remi (even though is has been relaxed), so I think after all this research they are my best option for now at least

Bohymes website says theirs is remi hair, with the hairs cuticle being the same way. If it was cuticle free wouldnt it have no cuticle to be going the same way? lol or like Sherrie mentioned maybe it only has abit of cuticle. If their hair isnt really true remi (like they claim it is) hair they could be up for false advertising, anyone got a microscope??

Yes, it is so difficult to tell, the only way we know the hair is a bag of tumbleweed is when we have worn it!! That is a price to pay as I am sure we have all been through lol, remember the days of wearing a brush around your neck and being afraid of the slightest breeze...............
I had read somewhere on the net that to know if cuticles are intact BEFORE any install is to rub 15 or more strands between thumb and index finger if they bunch together the hair is more likely to be remi, and if it doesn't it is not likely to be. I did try this with inidian vs some bss stuff and I kind of saw the difference but bss is so notiriously bad anyway, anyone heard of this test?

I emailed JetSet last night to ask if they have the colors I need in stock. They emailed me back today to let me know they only have it in 22" but that they would sell it to me for the 20" price.
I think I am just going to go with them because I can always dye it or go to Cheyenne and beat them with their yellow hair!!
Bwahaha.

Maybe Jetset are starting to sleep a bit. They say that they have sent me a sample on 31st May, ok I am in the UK, but 15days for less than an oz of sample I only asked for relaxed straight, having said that Wagman took nearly 3 weeks to get my sample to me.

well it depends on how they shipped it remilover, if they shipped it economy mail it could take 4-6 weeks to get to you, since economy ships by boat...thats why I always use global priority to ship international. That way the package usually gets to the customer is 4-6 days max.
I ordered some jamaican black castor oil (supposed to keep hair nice n soft), anyway, it cost me around $12 to get it shipped from USA, I got it on 9th June - they had paid $11:60 us postal service and it was sent on 6th June - so 3 days - it is in a box and weighs just over 8 oz.
Why then are Wagman asking me for $63 for 1lb and telling me 3-5days. I am going to mention this accross the road on the BHM board for the UK ladies in particular, I feel we are getting ripped off with shipping and I take acception to that.
Hair sisters are the biggest con with shipping, they take $30 dollars from me and have the cheek to send my packgage with the payment $9.00 visible and tell me the rest is handling, oh, so putting it in a box/bag and sellotaping it is the business I should be in then lol

I am surpised about the Bohyme not having the cuticle, it is very nice hair. I ordered the Jet Set a few weeks ago and have installed some of the weft on the very top of my head where the sew in wouldnt work (I can get away with wearing the glue-in wefts very high up). I've been wearing them a little over a week, and probably have washed 4 times (I've been outside, swimming, etc alot) already. The sew-in is all Bohyme and I've been using that hair for a few months.
The Jet Set looks great but is a little wierd when I wash it. When I am combing it while wet it seems to stretch alot and snap......it feels almost gummy, and I haven't had this problem with the Bohyme at all. The Bohyme is also a good 3-4 inches longer than the Jet Set (both are sold as 22") and the Bohyme is fuller at the ends. The Jet Set still feels great when it is dry.
So far my vote goes to Bohyme since it feels stronger and I really like the extra length they give you, but both brands are very nice. The only complaint I have about Bohyme is that the popular colors seem super yellow and it is hard to find a supplier that has a wide color range. Dying worked out fine though, so I think I'll continue to do that and wear the Bohyme.
Wearing 22" 8oz Tease I tips installed with silicone microrings.

*yiiiikes* that sounds like OVERPROCESSED hair....hope it holds up for you
I can attest that once I received my Jet Set it looked beautiful (in body) when the package arrived however once it was washed, it turned frizzy on me and I had a hard time taming it and had to buy all kinds of products to get the frizz out!! It is too high maintenace for me.
I have gone ahead and purchased the Bohyme from Ebony to arrive this Friday. I ordered it in silky straight and decided that I would just curl it myself.
The funny thing is that Jet Set body did not even hold a curl what so ever!!!Maybe ordering any hair in body or volume texture is overprocessed and reacts to look more hay-like?
Anyhow, I contacted Jet Set to tell them of my problem and how I ordered 16 ounces and currently only installed 8 of them and would like to return the the other 8 ounces as I will not be installing the remainder of the Jet Set hair as it was bad quality and they have finally responded back to me saying they would take the un-used hair if it was still in the package.
I am sad after all the trouble I went through to obtain this hair that it was that poor quality but again, we will try anything for great hair. I hope the Bohyme is everything I have heard and the silky straight will be more manageable? Just my 2 cents!!

I thought I would chime in here. I have half a weft of 22" bohyme that I got awhile ago just to see if I liked it. It is silky straight texture. I cut off a piece and only used that. I installed it with protacs. Wore it for a bit. I have colored it, color corrected it, colored it again, done multiple processes of "clairol metalix" to lighten it, bleached it and finally colored it again. It is still in beautiful shape. Silky, shiny, tangle free, smooth. I know I could not do this to the jetset. I have the natural body, which also lost all of it's curl. I colored(darkened) the hand tied wefts and they are not as nice as they were to begin with. after wearing for only a week they don't feel as silky anymore and are a little on the "puufy" side.....Anyway, I think my $$ will go towards bohyme in the future.
I wish hey(bohyme) would send out samples. I'de like to see the finer virgin european body I think it is??

Trinity....the only thing about the Bohyme silky straight is it is soooo straight. It has NO volume, like a bodywave. So you will need to use MORE than you would normally use to get volume. It should hold up beautifully. Ive never had a bad batch, other than a batch that shed badly once. The biggest complaint I ever hear about Bohyme is the shedding.
For now on with Bohyme I'll seal the wefts before using. But so, far Bohyme seems to be about the most consistant for blonde colors
Thanks Sherrie, I don't have a problem curling them to get body as long as they hold a curl which I assume by yours? I also wear my hair up everyday for work and straight styles are easier for me..
With the Jet Set, it not only was frizzy so hence needed a lot of product but it would not hold a curl either, so I basically could do nothing with it!!
I am anxious to get my Bohyme Friday and hopefully if it arrives on time, I will install this weekend and let you know..Now that you mentioned shedding, what should I seal the wefts with before the installation and keep in mind I am in Canada?
Thanks Sherrie..
