QuoteReplyTopic: Which type of hair to order..?? Posted: September 08 2010 at 1:09pm
I used to get Great Lengths, but have since used Sherrie's SexyTress system (pretty great!), and have done tapes/LG with Russian a few yrs. ago.
Now I am going to do a pure LG install, and am trying to figure out what the best type of hair would be for me.
I have medium-thickness hair, not too thin not too thick. It's a medium-ish brown. I have read on here that Asian can work, but I am worried it will be too thick/shiny in comparison to mine, but I love that it stands up better to heat.
Indian seems like it might be a good match for me.....any feedback would really help!!

Honestly noone can really predict what you will prefer overall.
Don't be too focused on finding hair that matches your own hair textures perfectly, I have found that I love a THOUSAND times better asian remy on me, which is thicker in diameter, but also has a sleekness + shine to it, rather than indian remy, which has typically more body and bounce to it, and has a thiner diameter in general.
Russian hair was pretty fine in texture, but nothing outstanding in terms of shine, imo, and it didn't last nearly as long as it was advertised, probably because I use heat styling almost every day and it seems like a more sensitive type of hair.
So it really depends on your preferences, the hair styles you're going for in general, and your lifestyle.
If you're an extra low maintenance kind of girl, and like to just wash your hair, let it air dry and go, russian, indian and asian might work.
Your budget is also something to take into account, because russian is more pricey, as you know, but it can last longer, if you don't play with it too much, I guess...
Indian will be fluffier than asian.
If you like hair that has some bounce to it, try indian remy, and see if you like the extra body.
If you like to wear your hair straight, then either virgin russian or asian remy.
And if like me, you like straight hair AND to use straightening iron and blowdry your hair frequently, then skip russian and stick to asian remy.
But... at the end of the day, all these recommendations won't really help you until you experience the difference between these textures for yourself.
The main point, is ...think about the hair you're dreaming of, not the hair you have on your head. My own hair is very thin, and has a slight wave to it. I wear Bohyme, which is an asian remy + indian remy hair mix, I believe, mostly asian remy though. The blending is easy.
And the extra shine you get from a new pack of hair is great, imo, even if your own hair might look a little more dull next to it, the shine will bring light around your face, it is very flattering.
Unless you have some kind of particular wave pattern or curl, in which case finding a good texture match is essential to good blending, do not worry too much about the thickness of the hair.

Oh... and another advice, you said you tried sexytress & greath lengths, so maybe you can check what type of hair it was and see what you liked based on your experience.
