Ok, so Im not big on human hair so I dont know that much about ordering it. I was thinking of ordering a pound of hair from indianhairs, and I was wondering if it comes in any different colors? I see a place to order but no color info.
(edit) OHOH on the remy double drawn bulk... it doesnt give me a hair texture

I suppose I should be more specific. I want a pound of remy double drawn hair, when I get to the checkout I have no options to choose color or texture. I dont want a pound of kinky curly salt&pepper hair, ya know?
P.S. I would order from rk but I dont see double drawn remy. I'll even take a machine weft.

On Indianhairs.com you can only order natural dark colors.
There is no way to chose a color... But you can bleach the hair and make your own color.
RK's double drawn hair is not remy, so it will tangle

Yeah well...I'm wearing RK double drawn non remy going on 4 weeks and it has yet to tangle. I wash it every other day and have dyed it twice. Had the whole shebang reinstalled today and it looks good as new.

I've washed my RK non-remy many times and have been wearing it as clip-ins every day. It's as soft and tangle-free as the day I got it.

Hahaha!
Ya know, I saw some girl get her chops busted over on BHM for saying a hair was fabulous and then someone ordered it and thought it was crap. Like the gal shoulda put a disclaimer on her original post or something.
Some report the RK won't curl for them. Curls just http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/amm94117/rkcurled.jpg - fine for me. Some say it's rough without shine. That hasn't been my http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/amm94117/rk28.jpg - experience .
I'm never shocked anymore when something works for one and not another. I have a batch of ebonyline that was sent to me that "would not curl." http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/amm94117/ebonyline.jpg - This is what it did when I put a regular curling iron to it. Some can color hair with no problem. Give me the same tools and the same directions and http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/amm94117/rkfry.jpg - this is what mine looks like.
What can ya do, yanno? Ya just throw your money out there and hope something good comes back to you.

It sounds to me to be honest that its just the colour 613 double drawn that's no good. Its really dry and tangly x

Still a bit confused as to wether this has a cutile or not. Weather you click the cutile free or the other choices you end up at the same page to buy. Dose any one know wether this is cutile hair that has just been colored or striped of cutile and colored?

AMM , u got the straight hair right? I'd like to know any product tips
you have for RK hair. I ordered RK deep wavy and superwavy, so
what works for you might not work for me.. but mine is tangling a bit.
And i'm willing to try any tips from an "RK-experienced one" such as
yourself.
TIA

lol ok, Ive made up my mind. Im going to get the rk hair, but Im going to get single drawn remy, Im just gonna order extra long (28") to make up for thin ends/splits/rattiness/whatever.
lmao, Ive just had too many bad expireances with non remy hair.

I too have two packets of 613 Kate. I haven't had time to wash it though to see if that makes a difference. I can't see it doing to be honest. I've definitely wasted $100 on it but hey never mind it was worth trying. I really wish I'd got a darker colour cos its really put me off the RK. I daren't waste another $100 trying another colour now xx I agree Kalika, I'd definitely go with the remy hair x

yea amanda, from amms experinece id say it was just 613 :( which sucks because the 22 is lighter than my 613 anyway :( I may sell the left over weft i have on ebay or something as i only put one weft of RK, and one of some old crappy hair in..

Tell you what, Kalika. I have four packs of #2 24" double drawn straight. I've lightened my other RK hair before with Kaliedecolors lightener and it's turned out gorgeous. If you wanna try some first, I'll sell you a pack if you want to check it out before you order it.
$50 including shipping. (It was $75 for 2 packs + $40 shipping so half of 75, 1/4 of 40 and shipping to you. 50 bucks).
It is super long and no splits or thin ends. Thick for the full length. The weft itself is 34" long and it weighs 3.9 oz on my digital scale.
I don't want my butt kicked.
Actually, this offer is for anyone who wants to try. I'm not trying to offload this hair cuz I plan to use it someday anyway, but I have a lot of it.
Marie, yes this hair still has its cuticle.

All the hair I've bought from RK has been straight double drawn. All
of it is double drawn and none of it is what I would call straight. With
some scrunchy product, I can kick it up to a french refined.
The majority of it is #14 and #12. I have noticed on the RK color ring
that #22 & #613 are not as soft as the darker colors. For whatever
that's worth.
There was a glitch with my last order but the Pre Curl and the
Bodywave will be arriving any day now. I'll post pics when they come
in. I fully expect and anticipate something a little less than what I
have. After all, it's taken yet another processing technique to get it to
the texture and color I'm looking for.
Really, I don't do anything special to it. I wash it every day with
Loma Pearatin Hydrating Creme and condition it with Feria from
Sally's and let it air dry. I curl it daily with an iron to match my own
hair and then it gets a blast of Back To Basics Firm Hold Spritz
(sunflower, calendula & chamomile) to hold it all in place. That's it.

I washed the 22 I bought from RK yesterday. It did feel mushy when wet. but this morning it feels softer than my dark hair. My bag of #4 just dosen't have any sillky feel to it. It's better than day one but I still perfer Bohyme or EP. I am letting a client who has a bit of curl and is short on cash use the other bag of #4 (installing on Monday)I need another opion so I will see what she thinks. I see now that Indianhairs is now useing the same payment and shiping methods as RK. I think my next one will be with virgin and I will color it myself.Can't wait : )

It seems like its hit and miss with lighter colors of RK. The 2 wefts of #22 I have feel different. One is softer than the other. And the #14 is softer than the #22. I installed the #22 and it is definitely a bit tangly. Not knotty, matted tangles by any means. Just a bit tangly in the bottom 5 inches(or so). Also it tends to get tangly in the back underneath, where it lays on my back. The hair is not silky soft, but it does feel softer now than it did at first. Ive switched products that Im using and it does feel better. But there is no way that I would be able to get a comb through it after washing if I didnt put a load of conditioner on it. Thats strange that it feels better now than it did the first few washes.
I really wish that I could work out something with my Korean supplier, that is the best hair Ive ever used. It is really nice hair. But I have to buy such LARGE quantities now to make it affordable.

Hi y'all. I'm here. . . I'm wearing it and it's wearing beautifully. No problems with tangling whatsoever. I'm having a little bit of tangling with the RK I got in the #14. But it is a lot longer. The hair that I bleached and installed is a finished length of about 18" whereas the RK I got was much longer. It is not bad at all, but it does need to be cared for kinda like PH - need to brush it a few times a day, etc.
Izabella sent me a PM saying that she got a bunch of hair from this supplier but she doesn't like it; she thinks it's "too hard" and "it stinks". It did smell like mothballs I'll admit but was clean and nearly nit-free.
Basically the only advantage of ordering Virgin hair is that you know *exactly* how it's processed. I asked RK how they colored their hair and they said it was a "trade secret" which basically means they use some sort of acid bath.

That makes sence Fina! Acid bath yep,It just feels dead not silky it dosen't mat up just bunchs like the PH. I have to brush it a lot and eaven after brushing it just bunches again! This would acount for why the #4 is as bad as the 22 I got. I cut a bunch off and it still just dosen't feel right.
Which supplier are you talking about (Izabella) RK or yours?
have you tryed RK's virgin......anybody
Are you going to get more hair Fina. If not I think I will stick with EP. They have really raised there price though.

I have washed the hair from Fina's supplier (I have also ordered), and now it is a little bit better. But first time I saw it, the hair looked hard (to touch) and frizzy. But yet it feels better. But its hard to wash and make some conditioners on 2 kg hair 
And the mothballs killed my nose on that day I opened the box. God thx the smell washes away...
I will post tomorrow some pictures of the other supplier I had for virgin hair. I tried about 10 companies in India and I never had that awesome quality. Virgin hair on handtied weft, very very shiny, but no silicone on it. The hair feels so soft and looks just lovely when installed. When you order straight, you get mostly straight (ok, after washing some fine moves, but its virgin)...
I really like RK's hair too, but from order to order, the hair feels different. Sometimes more soft, sometimes finer with lot of short hairs in it, but I only order remy hair..... Mmh, I think I have to wear it to say more. But RK was a good idea, as they ship very fast, and I never had probs with customs....

Oh, I forgot: SKM Human Hair in India has also very very nice virgin hair. He ships fast, and is always friendly. The prices depend on length, and if it should be sewn on weft. If anybody is interested, pm me, I will send you prices....... His hair smells really great, and holds up to 1 year (I have one friend, who is wearing this hair since last august with microrings)

You know sherry I just figured out that my last order they didn't give me the industry discount!!!!
Izabella, do you have to order large amounts with your supplier?

Well I'm sitting on a boatload of RK I got and was planning on using it in my next install. I'm thinking I should be able to get 8 weeks out of it, shouldn't I ? ? ?
I was also considering getting another order from the guy I ordered from before and I think I can face coloring it. As I said I *LOVE* my #22 and #24 that I made from the batch.
It's just that it makes like *no sense* to order it unless you order at least 2kg, only because you have to wire the money to him (which is typically $45-$50) and I can't seem to find any freight forwarders for less than about $90. So you're already looking at nearly $150 extra. If you're getting a lot of hair, it works out OK. But otherwise those little cost make the "hair" a lot more expensive even though it's not the cost of the hair per se.

I'd love to try some but the only problem I have with the virgin hair
is the coloring issue. I can never get it to banana peel yellow without
that orange tinge. And, by the time it gets to that point the hair just
isn't "exceptional" anymore.
I've used professional powder, Quick Blue, Quick White and then
toned with various beige blondes, white blondes, blue, violet and gold
tones. I've used 20, 30 & 40 developer and I've spent a small fortune
at Sally's. I've gone through post after post after post on the "Going
Blonde" forum and the only comfort is that I'm not the only one who
can't get black/dark brown to a decent blonde. It's frustrating to ruin
good hair.

Here is one way that may help. use foil take thin sections,when hair is dark and course I allways use finer sctions so the color is geting thrugh all of it eavenly. The foil will help keep the lightener moist . if it drys out it doseent work. Then when the frist foils you put in come up rinse thoughs ones out so they don't over process. you can use a hair dryer or a potable hair dryer to heat the foils up a bit.

Yep, did foil and kept it nice and closed up. Even put it out in the
garage and let it get good n' toasty in this California heat wave. It's
not Ronald McDonald orange or anything but it's got that faint cast to
it that looks like a dye job so often and so proudly worn by the trailer
trash set.
