| Has anyone ever bleached the RK hair that comes in it's original state (unbleached/unprocessed)? How did it turn out? What would you recommend for taking black hair to color 22 with 613 streaks? |

i've used a lot of rkhair and i would have thought you'd be better to just order it in 22 and 613. The black hair does lift but becomes incredibly dry in my experience |

| I've heard that the lighter colors of RK were terrible quality that matted and tangled because of their bleaching process. Is that true? Or is their light blonde hair good quality? |

If its unprossesed , Natural hair, i cant se why not you can not bleach it like any other natural hair. If it is natural black there will be some rough damagde. Hum, some good professianal bleach, and toners. And some good products to protect the hair afterwords. ------------- 12 Inch Wawa, Installed with Protac, i love hair extensions<3

that true with their double drawn and handtied i found that terrible i actually threw away a fairly large order of without using it at all. I find their single drawn blondes are dry but if your hair texture is not silky you'll get away with it. it holds up ok about 3-4months in the blondes but shed constantly so needs to be topped up after 2months. it wouldnt be my fave hair because of the shedding but its not the worst either. the hair really doesnt like to be bleached or coloured whatsoever even the darker colours go crappy if you try to darken them. |

hey bird - i know amm had a thread on here about bleaching unprocessed indian hair a while back (maybe a year ago). she did some beautiful high lifting on natural dark hair. i agree - if you are buying unprocessed hair i would buy from indianhairs (the sister company of rk). i bought some of the double drawn (non-remy) from RK in colors 12 and 27 (which were basically the same color lol) and it was way better than colored bss hair, but it was quite tangley and i had a very very difficult time managing the texture after washing (got really boofy, even the "straight"). i have never tried rk's single drawn or remy hair so i can't comment on that. HTH, cheryl |

Yeah, I bought some hair not too long ago from Indianhairs.Even it is very stubborn to lift which makes me think they put a color on it.It does lift,but takes a bit more work than true virgin hair.I love my indianhairs hair.But it is alot of hair to tame.I definitely wouldnt reccomend it to an extension newbie. I tried both single and double drawn from R.k. The double drawn was great.And the single drawn was dry and tangly.And both were color #6. -------------
