My intuition also is that I didn't get Bohyme hair but some other brand and they put the wrong label on it or something.
The so-called Bohyme I got didn't look at all like asian hair, but rather like low quality indian hair, IMO, but I am not a world expert either.
Thanks for your comments Sherrie. I now use non sulfate organic shampoos -and my Mom too now!!- and I saw a diference quite fast.
I intend to use a shower filter later on too, but I don't think it's the problem. I had this terrible afro-like hair when I was in France and then I took the crapy hair out and put in a mix of my old Glamourhair silky straight weft + a little bit of this bad hair and this hair kept on looking great, even in France, or now that I am here too.
So I don't think it's a problem of quality of water, but good idea though!
When I first ordered the Bohyme hair it was from Ebonyline, they told me they were out of stock in 24 color and added that the Bohyme manufacturer in the us was out of stock as well in regular wefted blonde hair.
So then I turned to Hairandextensions.com, and ordered w/ a very expensive international shipping option ($60) to get the package in 2 days in France.
My guess is that they were maybe out of stock too in the colors I wanted and decided to put another brand of hair w/ a Bohyme label on it, because they had to send it quick to me, I don't know though.. I just think it's weird that on the two pieces of Bohyme hair, they were both identically ugly!
I hate to put so much money on hair and be disapointed in the end!

I had a bad luck with Bohyme too. But my problem was that after few washes the hair got so bad, felt like a wire. When it was installed it looked very good. I don't know if I just used a wrong shampoo or something. Usually I don't use cheap ones. Can anybody give any care advice on Bohyme?
Definitely something wrong there chick, that's got to be a bad batch. You can use any shampoo on bohyme, blimey, sometimes when I've got no shampoo I use the hubby's shower gel on it but finish off with goldwell conditioner, I never scrimp on that but I've never had any problems with it x

I think Sherrie's got some great advice (I reposted it below in case you missed it) I now only use non-sulfate freee shampoos too and eventually I will be replacing my showerhead with a shower filter too..
What shampoo were you using???

When I finally started listening to some reviews I had seen
of shower filters, it finally dawned on me. I moved from the country, a
house that had a water softener....to a condo in town with city water.
I had a very HIGH chlorine content. I went out and got a shower filter
and was AMAZED at the difference it made. Along with switching to non
sulfate shampoo. Ive had a huge differnce in how hair wears.

I don't remember what I was using at that time. Which brand of non sulfate shampoo is preferable? Thanks. Although, installing a "shower filter" sounds somewhat funny to me.

Edited: To remove my post.. You better figure out which shampoo to PRETEND like you're using for your next alias from someone else freakazoid...

I really appreciate the info from this forum's users!!! Just as I get ready to order product or do a new install, I find myself reviewing all the posts to see if there's something new I should consider. It is so helpful to find advice from real users of the different products - hopefully to avoid making the same mistakes as others. Thank you for the sharing and caring opportunity
I've been using the same wefts of Bohyme Gold 24" Silky Straight since May 06 - 3 installs with no tangles or other problems. Sherrie didn't sell this at the time I purchased it, but I would trust her Bohyme quality to be as good or better as what I purchased elsewhere. Both Sherrie and AMM have great products and their knowledge and customer service are unbeatable
Shampoo: I use non-sulfate, but it doesn't seem to matter which brand I use. Price, availability and fragrance are what varies. Always heard that you should dilute your shampoo so I mix 50 - 75% water into one of those bottles meant for applying hair color (long nose on it). It is easy for me then to apply the diluted shampoo directly on my scalp between the wefts, rub that gently in. I just do a squirt over the long extensions - because it's not like they are greasy afterall!
Conditioner: This is where they tell you to spend your money because some actually penetrate and nourish the hair - if left on for the suggested time whereas shampoo is usually in your hair for a brief period. When my own hair was waist length I was told not to use certain products (like Pantene) because there would be a residue built up . . . so I didn't. But guess what I use on my extensions? Yep, Pantene Deep Fortyfing Treatment. I don't care for their new "Restoratives" line as well. This was the only product that worked for me on some of my first crappy quality hair extensions, to make them less tangly. Seems like there is a plastic quality from the stuff (silicone-like?) that helps maintenance on the extensions. Downside . . . I'm sure it's not the best thing to use on the natural hair, so I keep it away from my own length as much as possible. I'm sure it would be hell on the protac (?) users as well, if this got near the taped wefts.
Shower filter sounds like a great help! Frenchie, you just could not have gotten the true Bohyme. The post above that refers to Bohyme's 90 day guarantee - maybe they will help you on this - best of luck!

One company may be out of a certain color while another may have it in stock. Just because one place doesn't have this color and hairandextensions does, doesn't automatically mean they took a Bohyme tag and stuck it on some other hair.
hairandextensions has *always* sent me the exact brand of hair I've ordered. Are you actually suggesting they've attempted to fraud you?
I am not sure about anything. I just know that when you pay $300 for nice Bohyme and you get two bad wefts, there must be a reason. I can only speculate why

I'll defenitely ask the company for a refund!
I started using Bohyme about 3 years ago, and for a year I didn't have any problem with them. (I used www.superhairfactory.com)
but then as I continued buing the hair, the quality dropped so bad, thet I finnaly stopped buing them.
Now if I have to order bohyme for one of my clients, I make sure that I get Hand tied ones.I never had any issue with those. I know they are more expensive, but it's really worth it!!!
Also as I'm getting better at doing extensions, I figure out that bohyme hair is not good after all ( only for asian and african-american ppl)
I used to wear them ,but now when I look at the pictures of myself from 3 years ago, I can really tell what a terrible extensions ,and fake looking they are!!!

NOT for European kind of hair !!! JMHO
Curious.. what makes Bohyme only suitable for African Americans when MANY of their textures CLEARLY do not blend with African American hair types???

I got my Bohyme in the original Bohyme package, and now I look like a nuclear blast. Maybe some packages are good, but if they have 50/50 that sucks. Never again!

NO offense to anyone!!!
I didn't say ONLY for african american hair!!!
I have many of my Af-AM friends, that are wearing bohyme, but only if they are saw in to their corn rows and none of their own hair shows thru. And if they got good batch of hair, it'll easly last them for 4 months.
And as for asian hair, CLEARLY that, there is no problem to blend asian extensions, with their hair.

Okay, no offense taken.. but I still don't understand the point of your first post.. Why is this hair only suitable for African American's when many of the textures do not blend well with this hair type???

Well I asked for a refund, didn't get any answers!
That's what makes me question the quality of the customer service.
I don't question the quality of Bohyme hair, I am just afraid -not accusing anyone ok?!- that it's counterfeited by some chinese companies maybe, and then sold to american/european retailers as genuine Bohyme.
I think I'll have to be picky with who I order the hair from, that's why I ordered two Bohyme wefts from Sherrie, because I know I can totally trust the origin of the hair, she ordered from the Bohyme company directly.
And then I think ordering only handtied weft is a good idea too.
