Ok, I went to this site:

http://www.wilshirewigs.com/pagedocs/extensions.html

Its been my understanding that cuticle hair is the best?? But isnt it the cuticles that cause hair to tangle??? So wouldnt cuticle free hair be better??

Im soooooo cornfused

Hmm I went back and looked at that website more in detail.

Has anyone ordered from them before? They have 22" bodywave on a weft for $58, thats kinda cheap, just wondering if the hair is garbage or not.

cuticle hair is the best if cuticles are all facing the same direction...companies strip the cuticles from alot of hair because its been collected from brushes from lots of different people ad faces different dirctions...if the cuticles are stripped from this kind it helps the hair to not tangle but it also damages the hair...non-cuticles and relly good cuticle hair can tangle a little too. if you brush it it should be okay...real cuticle hair is always the best because its stornger and shinyer...theres a reason cuticle costs more and theres a reason you wont want to strip your own hair of its cuticles...its a protective outer layer thats important to hairs health...

Ditto Sara. Ideally, full cuticle hair (with all of them aligned in the same direction) would be the best-quality hair. But if they're facing every which way, of course, there would be tangling--lots of it, I'm sure. Noncuticle hair can work just fine, but it's not as durable or lustrous as cuticle hair, which will cost you much more.

Good luck!

Well, everyone says their hair is full cuticle, but whether it really is or not is debatable.

That said, I quite like the Cuticle Hair from hisandher.com.

Good luck! :)
