Hi! I'm looking for long, really light blond human hair. The lenght should be 30, or at least 28 inches. And the color should be 60 or something similar, but I can settle with 613 if needed. The hair is for a client, but my supplier (American Dream/H.E.A.D) have started to really complicate the whole order process for me. I live in Sweden and they are located in England. The want me to send an hand written order, take a copy of my identification card (that I am totally OK with, but not this:) and one of my bills (?!). They say the need one of my bills to see that I really live where I say I live. There is no secret where people in Sweden live, so I really don't understand why they need one of my bills when I can send them a sort of birth certificate (that's not the correct word for it, but it's a paper that confirms where I live, among other things about me). The thing is I've ordered from them before, and it went really smooth, and I just gave them my VISA information via email (which they said they had stored this time, but in a another email they say they need my card information again). The thing is really complicated anyhow, there's more to it but I really didn't write this to rant (even if it looks like it  ).So does anyone know where I can get this sort of hair? It should not be remi (it's not what the client demanded, and she does not afford remi). Preferably in Europe. So if you know anything, please let me know. ------------- |

Hi Elio! For very long, yet inexpensive hair, I think RK is your best bet: http://rkhairproducts.com/online.html I'd recommend their Remy Single Drawn. It's like maybe $5 a bag more than the non-remy double drawn. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

Oh, and btw.. I am used to buying hair by grams, not oz.
How much is 8 oz? It also says 2 bags, does that mean 2 bags with 100
gram each (equals 8 oz)? If it does, that just insanely cheap.

100 grams is about 3.5 ounces, so 8 ounces is about 250-ish grams. So
yeah, it's 2 bags with 100 grams each. I usually use about one and a
half bags in my installs, so 8 ounces will be plenty for you. Oh yeah, and the single drawn tapers off a whole lot towards the ends, s I've been buying 2" longer than I need and chopping off 2" of the ends. It is pretty cheap, but then look at the shipping! It's $40 to the US, and I believe the same to Europe. On the bright side, it's UPS Express, so it gets to me (in the US) in 4-5 days. But even with the expensive shipping, it's still cheaper than a lot of other hair. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

Wow, that's still cheap, especially for remyhair. So there's no
downside, except for the tapered ends, then? The hair is of good
quality and you can trust the company? And the price is what is says on
the website + 40 dollars for the shipping? No VAT or anything like that?

Id definitely stay away from the double drawn non remy in color #613. I used the #22 and from other reviews it seems the non remy double drawn in light colors especially didnt do too good. Just my opinion...if anyone had good experiences with the lighter shades please speak up.....

sherrie215 - I'm going to by their remy hair since the price difference is so small.  Have you heard anything about their light remy hair?

TanglesRC - I found the address, and yet they
had really long hair they didn't even have a shade as light as 613 (and
I preferably want an even lighten shade) and they were mighty
expensive. As I wrote in my first post my client do not afford
expensive hair.

I can never figure out on the rk site which one is remy and what is striped! If you want virgin that you can color go to wwww.indianhairs.com it is the parent site of RK. I love this hair once you wash it and soak in olive oil for a few hours to remoisturize. Both sites the hair will have some nits (lice shells) no harm just scrape them off. There will be grey hairs in both too. but not ton's and if you color it it dosen't matter. The Rk should be washed and soaked to if you get that allso. The darker colors seem to be much better than the light from RK. I would not get lighter than a 6 from them.
I justs saw it is light you want what about www.plasatichair.com |

marie87 - Thank you, I will have a look on the Indian hair site.
I'm thinking about order natural white from them, do you have any
experience from that? About the other site -do you mean http://plastikhaar.ch/shop - plastikhaar.ch/shop , perhaps? They do not sell human hair, and my costumer specifically requested human hair. I would order from Sara in a minute, otherwise. The hair she sells is just wonderfull. ------------- |

I've been using the single-drawn remy, mostly in darker colors. It's
held up pretty well. I think maybe I like Bohyme better, but it's
nearly twice the price. Anyway, with your client's budget restrictions,
RK is the best you'll get at that price. The only place else you can
get 18" for $50 is beauty-supply-store hair, and that's unmitigated
crap. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
