It arrived early this AM. I pd for order on Oct 19th, so that took
about 14 business days to ship and arrive. I haven't messed with it too
much yet, but here are some quick snaps. Some is curlier than other
wefts but it's all CURLY! No limp waves I don't think so. And it's a
LOT of HAIR!!!   it comes packaged in these little plastic bags  this is the hair, untouched, hanging. U can see where some are real curly and some just curly. I like it tho.  this is the hand tied weft. It comes clipped w/ the little plastic hair clips. There are about 40 separate little bundles, and Each bundle had a clip on it.  wet and hanging to dry ------------- K-B |

no I had negotiated them down to letting me buy 1/2 kilo. But then
after Miss Essence posted her purty Peruvian pix , i said "gimme the whole 'key' ". lol. I ordered natural brown, but u see there's some red (almost #33) colors in there too. ------------- K-B |

Wow Koffe, it looks like you ordered a whole separate color...I would have sworn that was a #33 |

yeah she sent me a pix fo the hair before she mailed it. (Before
process and after process pix). The BEFORE hair was all #33'ish
color. but AFTER pix was colored to black. Looks like she forgot to
color some bundles. But it's ok. I'll be a red haired girl again
before i know it. I used to wear # 6, 8 and 10 til about 2 years ago..
then i went cold turkey 1b. I'll be swinging back to light colors soon..

Cherry, this hair reminds me a lot of the hair we got from Real
Hair in Amsterdam. You got peruvian samples right? What do you think?
It feels very similar...MINUS the nits of course  . And so far none of it is tangling (remember i had 2 wefts that tangled from Real Hair). BTW, please tell me your friend has at least heard something.... ------------- K-B |

yeah Gina, it really looks like a lot to me. But i think that's because she put 1 weft in each clipped bundle, so appears to be a lot. It is truly 1 kilo. Actually weighs a lil less , but that might have been on my part... I'll chk later. And i've ordered 3-4 kilos from IH before and it never looked like a table full of hair before. But the individual bundle sets makes it look like a pile! I love it tho! ------------- K-B |

Essence, visit my thread girl...I need input: question: have you done any flat ironing of the curly hair yet? How'd that go. I wouldn't want it pin straight, but like a body wave type sometimes. Here I go.. begging the Peruvian merchant for curly hair, now saying I wanna wear it wavy. LOL. But she didn't send me any of that pretty wavy hair like you got. At least not that i can tell yet. I havent' wet it all, but it appears to be all curly and some a lil bushy.. which i will use for blending w/ my lovely kinks. ------------- K-B |

She's getting the same old BS. Yesterday the "sister" wrote and said that Maria was sick and that she would not be back until friday. How do they know when she is going to be cured? The hair never shipped and they promised to do it on the 28th. This girl had waited more than 3 months now. I don't know why they are giving her such a hassle!. GOD I want some of that hair! But I wear the same length as my friend does 24. So I am too scared to order. Because she lost a lot of money. Maybe she'll get the hair, but they are definitely pulling crap. I have read all the emails and instead of being straight shooters and saying, "we can't find your hair in your length it will be a long time before we ship", they have told a lot of fibs. They have told her they sent the hair on 2 occasions already. Said they got the hair returned, but when she said well send that hair back, they said it was the wrong length? They are always telling her their email is having problems when they are answering other peoples emails, ignored her emails for weeks, and the lady has gotten sick already a few times too. I thought the hair was definitely wefted different then RealHair. Im stressing out because I want to get some backup hair sense NatureGirl is out of commision, Bliss hair says they never get deep curl in my length and real hair says they are out of really curly in 24 too. |

the wefting is different, but the hair texture seems similar. But I like it better than RealHair. That's something about NG closing up for a while. Sad news, I wish them all the best. I am so glad i ordered up a bunch from them last month. B/w NG, Bliss (which ain't curly this season) , and the Peruvian hair.. I should be set for a few months. I emailed Peru ystrday too asking when my pckg would be delivered, and I got the same reply you got about Maria being sick.. back on Friday. But the person responding did say my package should arrive today or tomorrow. So they did know something helpful! I guess the longer lengths are harder to come by. She sent me range of 12 inch to 20 inch (unstretched curl msrmts) I guess u get true msrmt by stretching curl. I ordered 14-17 inch. It's a good mix. ------------- K-B |

oh maybe it's legit then and I'll tell her to be patient. Im drooling for that hair! I gots to get me some in 24! Yes I was SOOO disappointed with the small order of Bliss I placed. It was SOO not curly! It was like a weak wave. Actually, the hair had nits too. It was pretty hair, but it was really straightish and I made it very clear that I needed deep curl. They said they couldnt get it in 24 anymore in deep curl. boohoo After my friend gets hers, I think I'll make my order and just not hope for it to get to me super quickly. But your hair is freaking GREAT! |

Hey Koffee... Glad to see u got ur hair. Its beautiful I have not flat ironed mine as I am WAY too lazy for that. If I was gonna do all that work I would just "wear" my real hair 
But I dont see why you wouldnt be able to flat iron. The hair can get LARGE so be sure not to put too much in. And also MAKE SURE u reinforce the wefts if u cut them b/c they will shed... Their wefting is a lil different than any Ive seen. I actually love it b/c its very thin (like zig zag) but not quite as delicate as zig/zag... But again u still have to reinforce... Any luck on finding that vinyl glue for reinforcing... I am gonna try and stop by home depot today or tomorrow to see whats what..
So far I have just been washing w/CON (green label). Using John Frieda smooth control cond and then airdrying... Using either Garnier spray gel or Fantasia frizz serum for after care.. |

Essence, I really wouldn't want to FLAT iron it straight, but just make it semi semi straight w/ some waves still in it. I can tell this hair will get LARGE if u put too much in. NG curly is like that too.. it looks like u don't ahve enough hair til u put it all in and then next day you need to remove a weft or two. No I didn't find that glue yet, but I sure need some. Hey did yoru Peruvian wefts come cut in all difft widths. I have some wefts 4 inches wide and some 14 inches wide and everything in b/w. Very few same width . Right now, i think that's a good thing because maybe i won't have to cut any wefts. I should be able to find a width i need. ------------- K-B |
