Hi all I got my first order of hair from Jet Set Extensions last week. I have to say I absolutely *LOVE* it and it is awesome!! We'll see how it holds up; but it is softer than the Bohyme I had gotten. I ordered #8 and #22 and the 14" weft. The hair is nearly 16" long -- it is 14" in its wave form. I got the natural wave, and when I washed it, it dried to a very gorgeous, soft wave. It curlys BEAUTIFULLY and feels great against my face!! I'm almost done installing the sides (with fusion using Amm's awesome keratin pellets). I got it on sale at Christmas and 4 oz. was a whopping $88 including shipping!!! Wish me luck!! I'm having the back done with pinchbraids (they were too bulky for the sides of my hair, which are very fine, AND they slipped out kinda early - like after 6 weeks or so) and am going to use Amm's Elite Remy. I got it in 18" from her and am going to have it installed with PB's on Friday (by Heather the genius who will probably kill me for insisting on fusion on the sides - she's such a purist - which I love). I am VERY curious to try the Elite side-by-side with the Jet Set. Sorry I don't have any pictures. My daughter put "Floam" In the camera charger, and, well, I don't think electronic devices were meant to be floamed. LOL. Other camera on the way. So right now I have the sides with this new, soft, gorgeous JetSet hair, and the back is a combo if His & Her 50% Mink & Lush. I have to say that the back feels like straw in comparison, and, strangely, it's begun to matt and tangle. I'm not sure what's going on with it but I'll be happy to get the hair removed. |

| I got a sample from Jetset...unfortunately it is too light to install for a test-drive. Just out of the package....this isn't as soft or silky as Lush or Bohyme IMO. However; I've found everything regarding exrtensions is very subjective. It could just be this particular color batch. I'll be curious to hear how it wears for you Fina. |

I don't know why everyone says that Jetset wefts are pricey! It's the same or cheaper than Bohyme wefts at http://www.superhairfactory.com - www.superhairfactory.com . They sent me a sample and it was nice. I then ordered a 14" weft for a client in 14/24 silky straight or fine (whatever they call it) and it felt and looked beautiful out of the bag. I bonded the wefts on my client, so we'll see how the hair holds up on her next appointment. It was easy to order off their website, and the shipping was fast. I also like the fact you can order in 2 ounce increments. That makes it nice if you want to mix a bunch of colors. I'd definitely order from them again. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

I was looking at the pre-glued strands and comparing them to other strands... ------------- |

| I think the wefts are very reasonable, but the strands are a bit higher priced. The weft prices are very reasonable though! Im just waiting for a a review! |

The natural wave is slightly less wavy then your hair, Sherrie. I think you would really like the texture of this hair, to be honest. It's "light" - meaning that each strand seems much finer, which could be good or bad depending on what kind of hair you have. For me it's awesome because I have that very classically fine hair with a slight wave to it.When I get Amm's elite hair (and get my camera situation fixed) I'll take pics of the hair side-by-side AND I'll be wearing them side-by-side starting this Friday. I too thought it was *very* reasonably priced, but I bought the wefts. In general I don't buy pretipped hair because it is really expensive (which I DO NOT understand since labor in China is so cheap, but that's another story. . )

Fina, Which of Amm's pellets are you referring to the clear ones or blond ones? ------------- |
Posted By: FinaFina
Date Posted: January 30 2006 at 8:25pm
| She calls them "clear" (they are the keratin pellets) but they haven't worked too well for me. . .they are yellow before heating and cooling, and actually seem to cool to a quite opaque white. . . not good. . . |

The jet set is indistinguishable from Amm's Elite as far as texture and performance. I'll take some photos tonight and y'all can judge for yourselves!! I think the X-10 fusion sticks perform really well, although working with a glue gun is a pain in the butt, IMO!! Neither the JetSet nor the Elite is very wavy. I think the "Body Wave" in either would have a bit more wave to it. This hair is not stick straight; just has a very very mild wave to it. |

Girls, I have a pic of the "Body Wave" Jet set prebonded hair if you want to
see it? Anyone up for posting the pic...let me know and I'll send it to you. I will say the Body Wave on the Jet Set did relax a bit when I washed it....so not sure how long the waves would actually last? I really like the wave though. I usually don't care for Body Wave hair but it looks pretty nice. I tested 12 different fusion bonds on my mannequin head and Elite Bonds were my favorite then Jet Set. I loved the color match of the bonds to the hair extension, on the Elite Bonds, better matching. Both equally good hair. Better price is hands down the Elite Bonds....Jet set is way more money. Other fusion tips that came out good where Beautymeka V-tips and the easiest to roll of all the bonds were D-Lux, did not burn at all. All the bonds were cut in half, they looked much nicer installed. All these bonds gave you 2 strands from one tip and they were still a decent thickness to them afterwards. All the other bonds I tried became to thin when split in half, so I just trimmed those bonds down and installed. |

yeahh.. im wondering how these jetset extensions are holding up for anyone's who tried them too.. they seem to have a lot of color combos.. anyone know what kinda hair this is (like european, asian?) question for any ones who tried them --- on the website the blondes look lighter than the blondes i've seen at other places.. like for ex, the 613 looks lighter than usual, is it just my computer, or are they really lighter? |

Sherrie~Thanks so much for posting!!
Haha~Amanda~You might be right. I have no Bohyme here to compare but I did check the #4 Jet Set against the Bohyme color ring and it is a match, also the #613 weft from Jet Set was a match as well to Bohyme. Frantic~ It’s Asian hair….As you read above the #613 Jet Set looks no lighter, it's the same as Bohyme #613. I didn’t like the 11/4” fold over beard on the weft though. I washed the Body Wave hair again today (3rd wash) and half of the wave has relaxed almost completely but the last 7-8” still have a pretty wave on it and curls up on the ends. It does has nice body when blown out. |

very interesting... My own personal opinion is that Glamourhair is Bohyme too. The pictures are all the same, the colors are all the same, the textures and lengths are all the same. I think they just repackage with their own label (and reprice..LOL) But thats just my opinion By the way, besides the jetset strands looking lovely...they look very thick, am I correct? |

I think you're right on Sherrie!!
Yip, the Jet Set and the Elite Bonds have nice fat strands....which I think is good because once you cut the fusion bonds in half ( neater bonds), you are still left with a good size strand. Some fusion strands you get have the bulky tip and not enough thickness for two strands. So I like that you can get two nice strands out of one tip. Jet Set prices are steeper in price for pre-glued than the Elite Bonds. Update* 4th Wash on the Jet Set Body Wave hair is about the same as it was on the 3rd wash....just the mid length & ends are left wavy. |

I asked the folks at Jet Set Extensions a few questions but I went over 200 words and I didn't have time to go back an ask again. I received a very quice response. Here is what they said about their wave textures: "Spiral Curl is great for those who like a permed-look that retains its curl pattern such as deep wave.
Volume wave is wavier than the Natural Wave. After washing it keeps the loose curl.
After washing Natural wave will straighten out and you will continuously have baby soft hair that can be curled to give some body.
So, the order of the wave from the deepest wave hair is Spiral Curl, Volume Wave, Body Wave and Natural Wave."
They didn't say anything about the Body Wave after washing, but, I guess that Save~A~Stray has been covering that pretty well. ------------- |

I got that email too, although Im not a professional so its no good to me... I got a slightly different answer on the wave patterns...heres my emails and their response Thank you for visiting us at javascript ol'http://www.jetsetextension.com/'; - www.jetsetextension.com .
We received your message...
Can you tell me about the different curl patterns? What is the difference between bodywave, naturalwave and volumewave? And do they retain the wave after washing or does the wave loosen or drop?
------------------------------------------------------------
Body Wave : A soft, fine, silky texture with a hint of body. The waves will loose the wave after washing and you will continuously have baby soft hair that can be curled to give more body.
Natural Wave : This style gives a large, roller set look, The Waves will loosen and straighten our after washing. It is ideal for those who like to set their hair in rollers, or would like a hint of body.
Volume Wave : This is the most versatile style since the amount of curl or wave can be controlled. It can even be worn straight for a straight full look and then re-wet in order to achieve a curly look again. Wavier than the Body Wave and Natural Wave.
----------------------------------------------------------
Hi, Sherrie.
We received your message...
Thank you for answering my question on the wave patterns. I am still unsure of the difference between the bodywave and natural wave. Is there any difference between the two after washing?
------------------------------------------------------------ After washing, Both of them will loose it's wavy pattern. But as long as it keep their wave on the hair texture, you can control the wave.
These hair waves will straighten out with hint of body without styling.
It can be selected by which wavy pattern you want with styling.
Natural Wave : Large, roller set look
Body Wave : light body wave.
------------------------------------------------------------ --
So in other words the bodywave and the natural wave both loose the wave after washing. SO there isnt much difference between the two textures. Right? Hey does anyone know what the 'slim' weft is?

If you read that email it says you can get UP TO 35% off so I imagine you might need to buy a big quantity to get that much of a discount. Posted By: FinaFina

I can tell you that the Natural Wave is completely straight after washing, and in fact I'm having a really hard time getting it to even hold a curl (same with my Elite Hair from amm but I'm not sure which texture she sent me). I was wondering about the Natural Vs. Body Wave also; I'm thinking that for the real ability to get some oomph (i.e. those big loose curls that hold) the Volume Wave is necessary. |

Fina, did you take a pic of your latest install?
The Body Wave did drop from top to mid lengths on the first wash but after four washes now it's still got some body to it and waves on the bottom part. I haven't tried the other waves yet. UPDATE: On the 5th & 6th wash....the bottom waves have relaxed a little more, so now the strands from top to bottom are in a very soft "S" pattern throughout. The hair is still very soft. |

When I asked whether the slim weft could be cut, they told me that it shouldn't be cut. Hmmm, my only concern with the volume wave is how good it will look straightened and how long would it take to style it straight and to look shiny and silky? I know that when I had a french refined wave hair (of not great quality though) it took a lot to get it straightened and even then, it had more like a relaxed perm texture. Maybe I needed different heat products? ------------- |

| The #4 Jet-set isn't the same color as #4 Bohyme nor is #6. #4 is a little lighter with more red and #6 is more gold. I ordered the natural body wave. Very soft and wavy out of the package. After Lush, I hesitate to get too carried away until a few washes, so the verdict is still out. |

Well, It’s a “match” over here on the pre glued #4 and the #613 weft
looks the same to Bohyme…LOL. I checked at night first then waited till morning to get a more accurate look. Even had hubby look at it…..LOL. Granted, I did not have a full weft… just smaller sample but I could tell no difference between the two colors out in the daylight. The wefting is the same as Bohyme. All you girls who got Jet Set hair…can you compare to your Bohyme ring and give your opinions on colors? Not every color may match Bohyme but It will be interesting to see what everyone gets... I have an Ebonyline Bohyme color ring.

#10 is a match & checked outside in natural light.
But how did they get all the color combos? ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

NOTES….
Jet Set has all the same numbers & most of the combo’s as Bohyme (didn’t see “D”s…18D, D18D/22). Jet Set does have more combo options available. The Jet Set screen colors do look different from the Bohyme ring, but I hate looking at a screen to compare colors and it is never an accurate way to judge anyway. I am going to order the Jet Set Color ring to have a better look at their colors. The Jet Set wefting is the same as Bohyme's wefting. Some of the wording is very close ……………………….. BOHYME The waves will straighten out and you will continuously have baby soft hair that can be curled to give some body. JET SET The waves will straighten out after washing and you will continuously have baby soft hair with hint of body which can be waved to give more body. This is just a very “quick “comparison…..nothing more…don’t hold me to it…LOL BOHYME--------------------------------JET SET Silky Straight-------------------------Fine straight Velvet Luster/Textured Smooth--------Texture Straight French Refined----------------------- Volume Wave European Curl------------------------ Body Wave Deep Wave- --------------------------Spiral Curl Body Wave--------------------------- Natural Wave Platinum Series /Brazilian Wave----------Water Wave I think if you take a look at all the manufacturers in China, you will see several companies selling almost identical items and the only difference will be the colors offered or different names regarding the textures. This is easily explained…when you go to do an order from any of these manufacturers in China…most will have a color ring they work off of. A lot of them ask you to send them a color ring or any swatches of color you want and they will duplicate it for you. So someone can quite easily send in a Bohyme color ring or any ring and have it copied. Also adding any other combos they like…. so this explains why someone can have almost identical colors and other combos made up. This may not be authentic Bohyme but they "seem" to have found a manufacturer than offers equal like quality (still to de determined) and produce similar colorings. They also offer similar textures as Bohyme and it is very easy to rename textures, which is done all the time!! Bohyme has already passd the test time & time again....so we know that is a good product. The test is how does Jet Set hold up over time? That’s just my take on it all……… Girls, please keep us posted on all those who have bought the Jet Set hair and tell us how its holding for you.

Here is the Jet Set Colors… http://www.jetsetextension.com/extension/swatch.php - http://www.jetsetextension.com/extension/swatch.php It’s hard to tell from a screen and of course the numbers get listed differently. It’s how the hair actually holds and compares to Bohyme, not so much the color ring choices. They differ from company to company and it’s so easy to duplicate another companies color ring and add as many colors as you want. Time will tell huh?…..LOL |

Yeah, would love to hear what everyone thinks of the hair? Saw some of
the girls on the other thread said it did feel different hair from Bohyme. Very interested to see if it goes 3 months-tangle free. I washed the Body Wave sample again today (7th wash) and it is still a soft "S" wave now from top to bottom......feels nice & soft.
I ordered the color ring.....hopefully get it soon. |
