Mocha, I bought 5oz or so of the single drawn natural from amm. And it was very pretty, and some of it felt exceptional even, just on the weft prior to install. I didn't process it much at all - 10 vol to lift 1-3 levels and henna on top, lots of conditioner and jojoba oil, plus they all were trimmed 1-5 inches. But if I don't flat Iron the hell out of it, I can't wear it loose :( It's only been in a week. Looks pretty, but does tangle. This is just relative to fina's hair, which I know you've worn. I've been keeping it in a pony. For what it's worth, I have bonded wefts in, which for no discernible reason seem to be the method of choice with people reporting the most problems, and I wore the fina with shrinkies. (That hair, for me, did tangle consistently around the ends, but a bit of brushing and some good styling dealt with that. No matting or anything that discouraged me from wearing it loose and it looked great. Took it down after 6 weeks only because of mad slippage - I have super slippery fine, oily hair. I kept it too. Trimming and conditioning made it look good as new. May reinstall later)
These are the only human hairs I have used so far. I do have an Asian pony I am pretipping now and plan to install to replace the RK within the next few weeks; I need to come up with a good system to do shrinkies on the back of my own head, first - had a friend help last time but he moved. An as far as the Asian hair goes, I know this is generally considered bottom of the rung for human hair but I have high hopes for it. It's a virgin, single person pony that is very long, thick, and straight, and soft. I've heard some unfavourable comparisons to "horse hair" but I think that is why I've always admired it. It looks like a silk curtain. Wish I could grow hair like that, lol. Even though the strand diameter is not as fine as my own I think overall it is a better texture match than the Indian hair as it's naturally bone straight, so the only stying I'll have to do on a day to day basis is maybe taking an iron to the very ends of my hair, because of the layering they tend to flip a little. I've wanted to post pics of the last couple installs but I can't find the cord for my camera. I'll dig around a little more.
That was a bit of a run-on. I've had rather a lot of coffee
