Yep.. This whole thread is turning into one long infomercial.. Clearly he's not here to contribute anything more to this forum than a plug for his product.. Perhaps it's time to click that good old "Report" button...
Footnote: Sherrie.. Should I tell Gene the WHOLE truth about why I REALLY wanted a hair sample!!

Hi Crystal. I have sent you a sample of coarse hair that we get couple of ponytails in black color once in a blue moon, as I told you before.
And except for the grey hairs, the hair is workable... The color is wrong (too dark), and the texture is slightly off (feels a lot rougher & heavier than my hair), but yes, I could make this hair work if I wanted to.

You actually stated yourself that you would be surprised if soft and silky Russian hair will blend with yours, so I did not assume anything.
Actually Gene.. I was being polite when I said that.. The truth is I'm not real kene on ANYONE's virgin hair.. Because MOST of it doesn't match my natural hair (Russian hair or otherwise).. And I am not the only woman who finds this to be an issue with virgin hair..
and for the record you DID assume something.. You're STILL assuming that my hair is coarse and rough (the opposite of soft).. So I will still say that you are ASSuming wrong.. But I digress...
Yes, yada yada yada, you will tell me all the success stories.. I'm sure there have been many success stories with your virgin hair, but I will CONTNUE to express the opinion that for MANY women (and not just black women either for the record) your hair won't match A LOT of heads.. It can't match everyone.. it's virgin hair.. With virgin hair, you get what you get.. If it matches, it matches.. Furthermore I DID THE MATH.. For the money I would pay for your hair I PERSONALLY would rather order CUSTOM MADE Extensions Plus hair and get hair that I KNOW will match my EXACT specifications, last for YEARS, and get LEAST 2 oz more hair for the money to boot..
Now I know what you're gonna go back to, "But my soft silky Russian hair won't match your hair"... To that I say, EVEN IF IT WAS A PERFECT MATCH, I think that if I was going to spend THAT kind of money on hair, then I would order CUSTOM hair.. and THAT'S just how I would CHOOSE spend MY MONEY...
Now Gene unless you are only here to sell YOUR hair versus contribute to this forum.. why don't you let this drop here.. This is a hair forum where folks express opinions about hair.. so here's a news flash... not everyone is gonna like your product... We talk about this stuff here all the time.. IMO, so far your only contribution to this forum seems geared towards selling/defending your product.

Yup... If you do the math!!!! I'm not an any way putting EP down... I think they have excellent quality of hair, but that is what I paid for the 1.25 oz I got!!! Have invoice to prove it!!! But maybe these girls get a better price then I got????? you can also see in the pictures I have provided that your one 11"x18" weft was an extremely good amount of hair!!! ( the most I have ever seen on one weft!!!)
Now these pictures were taken for my purpose only and didn't plan on posting them, so I didn't get very good ones.... sorry!!!
Good quality hair just costs some bucks!!! no matter where you go!!!! but IMO I think it's worth it!!!
Gene, Thank you sooo much for the excellent customer service you have provided me... I can not wait to put in the last weft!!!!

Now I can say I have ordered both!!! from Extensions Plus and Russian hair and I would have to say that they are almost the same price. I am sitting here looking at my Extensions Plus invoice and I ordered 16" 1.25 oz and it cost me $202.46 and that is not hand tied! that was machine wefted. I did send them a color sample of my hair so it was custom. I think both company's have very high quality hair and wonderful customer service! The Russian hair just has a better texture for me. ( But I must say I love the wave the Extension Plus has)
I have posted both of the hair on my photo sight. and you can see both hair wefts before installation. ( I know I'm sick I'm taking lots and lots of pictures of everything) I am going to document everything!!! (hair growth hopefully!!!

Gene with all due respect, you have no idea WHAT KIND of hair I have.. I simply said Afro relaxed hair.. You ASSUMED that meant my hair was coarse.. (an often made, and often WRONG assumption) For the record, your hair sample would EASILY blend very nicely with my hair.. You'd be surprised what my hair could easily blend with..
The point I was making is that IN MY OPINION for the money your hair costs, I or ANYONE ELSE could get custom made Extensions Plus hair.

Hello Sherrie,
We do not make wefts from single drawn hair. We sell wefts, that are made from double drawn hair, and bulk double drawn hair in bundles that is ready for pre-bonding, wefting and ventilating.

question...why are the double drawn wefts cheaper than the handtied single drawn?
The double drawn hair is not wefted that's why (I assume) it costs less..
I just got my sample of this hair today.. I wish it was wefted so I could see and evaluate the weft construction.. The hair seems very nice, but it's hard to put the hair through it's paces and really tell since it's not wefted..

And that is some mighty EXPENSIVE hair!
Amen!!!
ALL VIRGIN RUSSIAN HAIR MICRO THIN WEFTS ARE 11 INCHES WIDE AND WEIGH APPROX.1-1.25 Oz. (28.4-35.5 grams)
So if I were to buy 8oz of 15-16" Straight (approximately 8 wefts) the cost is $1,256.00.
Heck for this cost I could order 10-12 oz of custom Extensions Plus hair again..
If I were to buy 8oz of 15-16" Straight double drawn, the cost is $616.00. Let's say I did buy this, I'm still looking at approximately $200 in wefting costs if I were to send it to Extensions Plus to have the hair wefted..

Rocket, your install is very pretty. Perfect match for you.
From russianhair.net ::
Micro-Thin Wefts - Not to be mistaken for machine wefts which are made mechanically and cut to size. Each Micro-Thin Weft is hand crafted with Double Drawn hair by our highly trained staff in-house at our own workshop, assuring you of a top quality, long lasting weft.
Gene was checking those pictures out... what did you do to me..... made me wide!!!! but I think I have something for now...
ok this is a start... don't have anything in order but you can see the hair... now remember I only have 2 wefts in on one row. :) that would never have worked with any other hair for 20" 3rd weft on order!! I haven't cut or colored this hair. (well trimed a tiny bit) but when I get the 3rd weft will go in and have it professionally cut!!!
