That would suck. Im already in debt now due to doing GL and then Hairlocs back to back like a mad woman. One good thing is I LOVE the weave thing and that is so much more cost efficient. Yes i will say it! WEAVES are great! heheh

And wouldnt it be funny if the "Russian" all this time was genetically engineered in some lab with super squirrels? That would explain the price tag at least hahah

MsHoney I would like to know also where to get actual virgin Indian. If I could find it and know for certain it was unprocessed Indian, I would definitely give it a shot as a layer in this weave. When i wore Indian, I liked it for about a month and then it went to hell. Thats all im saying so the virgin has to be found somewhere.

  You have to ask around. I never go by what the vendor says they want your money even the reputable ones but how could you tell the difference. Mokipono?? has a way to test for remy hair on her site.
   www.remyhairtoday.com , www.mymaneattractions.com, and  www.halleyscurls.com these are the ones I've researched and they had great reviews. I've talked to people who've used them and they recommended them to me. Perfectlocks.com didn't have any reviews good or bad when I bought it. I have fine textured hair, naturally curly and when I flat iron it,depending on how straight I make it, I can where just about any fine textured hair.

Thanks Mshoney! I'm going to look into that. Have you heard anything about trueindianhairs.com? I spoke to Karen, I think she's the owner, and she said her hair is virgin too. I'm curious about her product. She sent me a sample and it was lovely but it was too straight. My hair has a wavy frizzy thing going so I'd like to match that.

Hey Malibu. I'm not sure but I THINK some girls on BHM had some problems with them but I may be getting them mixed up with someone else. Check there. Have you searched here? The name sounds familiar.

Thanks MsHoney. Now I know at least where to start for remy Indian. I had just concluded they processed it all to make it a caucasian match. That was my main concern with it.

Im not saying no way to Indian or Asian hair ever again also. What i was thinking i might even do at some point is maybe one weft of really nice virgin Indian if i could get my hands on some and then 2 wefts of Russian on the top levels. My thinking on that is the Indian would give it slightly more body underneath and then have the Russian layers up top. I dunno. maybe at some point.
It's always good when you find hair that works for you!Tongue 
 
My point was similar to MsHoney's.. quality of hair has nothing to do with the ethnic orgin of the hair.. A lot of the programmers I work with are either Asian or Indian.. To say all Indian hair or ALL Asian hair is any ONE thing or another is too broad.. I've yet to see some of those generalizations really apply to the Indian and Asian people I've known... I've also seen women wearing Indian and Asian hair that is simply beautiful.. I have also worn LOTS of Indian & Asian hair that is beautiful..
 
MsHoney is right.. There are plenty of options out there of vendors selling ALL kinds of high quality hair. So the real trick IMO is to find hair that suits your personal style and budget..

Once again I agree and Im not sure where ethnic origion came from in these posts? Its called russian hair. That is the name of the hair. I dont know what else I can call it?

And yes, I like this hair because it is a match to my own. I cant really afford it but I can if I do sew ins and in that case its costing me less than any other method Ive done when using Indian or Asian hair. It balances out for me. My main concern is virgin quality and I have had no luck finding that in the Indian as of yet.

Not true at all.. Remember that there are more than just caucasian women wearing Indian hair. A quick look around BHM will confirm that for you..Tongue I can tell you FIRST hand that women with Afro textured hair are NOT looking for Caucasian textured hair.. LOL

I used the term "ethnic origin" because Russian, Indian and Asian imply an ethnic orgin..

I said I had concluded that as I could NOT find it unprocessed. Every hair extension system I tried was using processed Indian or Asian hair. When i say processed I mean they were doing something to it. I was told its called an acid bath that strips the cuticle layer and then they use a silicone coating to replace shine and sheen. This made sense because it looked nice at first and then started to matt and tangle and this was because the silicone washes off. This was ALL I was able to find in the way of Indian hair so I became frustrated and didnt want to keep spending money on it, especially when it didnt totally match me and didnt hold up. I dont have money for that. This is all based on MY own years of wearing extensions. Its only recently that I have learned about virgin Russian hair and I read about it on the hair 101 on this site in fact.

  Krimsa, they're implying that their hair comes from Russian women. I'm not sure about this particular vendor, it's been a while since I've been to that website but when vendors say Russian they're referring to the ethnicity of the donor. Just like with  virgin Indian remy hair, they're claiming it's from Indian virgins (just kidding) they're claiming that their product comes from Indian women who have not chemically treated their hair ever and that the cuticles have not been stripped.

Okay and so...whats the problem? Indian hair is Indian hair Russian hair is Russian hair. I dont even care. The word I care about is the virgin part. I dont care if the donor has had sex or not lol sorry. i mean I just want hair that was grown and cut. It could have come from a 3 eyed purple person from jupiter really.

Agreed.. THIS is what I meant by "ethnic orgin".
 
Krimsa, unprocessed Indian hair is really available out there.. There are A LOT of good vendors who do sell unprocessed Indian hair.. Specialize in it in fact.. You will have to do a little research.. MsHoney has provided some vendor names.. There are MANY more on BHM if you are willing to do a little searching and research.. The point is they are there.. Good luck..Tongue
