OK, dragging my sorry behind in here at 5am but here it goes...

Not sure this is what you're looking to find out but maybe it'll help others in a decision about this hair.

Two different curls, one look. Looks nice, eh? I was disappointed. The shine is there in the sun but the reflection belies the texture. I didn't like it, frankly. It was too rough for me.



Now washed...



Same texture again. I think they just put different tags on the same hair or something. It had a pasta look to it and was very hard to fingercomb. I ended up selling the hair for below cost with major disclosures. I heard it ended up wearing somewhat decent for a little bit. I think the hair was worth what I sold it for but it definitely wasn't worth what I bought it for.

PS - see it says hand-tied weft? They were so NOT hand-tied wefts. This was one of many foul-ups from RK which were mainly severely underweight wefts and shorting on length.

hi LHD and AMM -

i'm pretty sure i'm the purchaser of that hair; my review is mixed in that for what i bought it for (discounted over RK price) it was as good as i could've imagined for the money. the hair isn't terrible IMO, certainly much better than BSS hair...you are right amm finger combing was impossible and brushing made it - boofy? big hair with a slight frizzly texture. my best friend has hair relaxed to a yaki texture and was like - ooooh that would be perfect for me! the texture wasn't really right for my hair, though, but i did get about 4 weeks wear out of it? i didn't have issues with big tangles or mats the way some have and i did use the recommended olive oil therapy and i didn't wear it down a lot. i felt like it looked crappy if i had it up and took it down without major efforts in combing, spraying with watered down conditioner, etc etc.

I just ordered the RK Jackson wavy the other day in 18 inches.  I'm hoping it matches my hair texture when I get it.   I have used the rk straight hair before and it was beautiful.  Will post pics when I get the hair.

I agree.. I ordered both the so-called hand tied as well as the machine wefts because I wanted to compare the two.. The hand tied weft looks more like a micro-weft to me.. We cut them, and didn't need to seal or tie off the ends.

While I was surprised about that, to be honest this was not a real issue for me because I still really don't like hand tied wefts.. Partly due to a bad experience with a stylist who ruined the only batch of hand tied hair I had ever purchased in the past, but mostly because I like the styling control I get with machine wefts.. I can cut them to any size I need, I don't have to worry about tying off or sealing wefts. I am however opening my mind to hand tied wefts.. Hence why I purchased the RK so-called hand tied wefts in the first place..

my hair just came in today and boy am I excited.  The hair is so soft. I am just worried I might need more hair.  I only ordered two packs.  I think it should be enough though since it's curly.

Can't wait to get it sewn in on Tuesday
