I'm wondering what the next best hair is to russian hair? That is what I have been wearing because it matches the fineness of my own hair.
I've been looking at posts for Bohyme, which seems to be mixed opinion. I've also been looking at D-Lux hair, and elite remy. I need hair that is very fine and will last through more than one install. What about colored indian hair? Any suggestions would be great!!!! |

The Elite Remy is the same thing as the Wagman Primus hair. This is Indian hair, which is not as fine as russian hair but seems to blend pretty well for at least some of us with baby fine hair. The wefts are superb. I have worn the same hair continuously for six months at a time and could go longer if I wasn't wanting to change the style. You can check out Amm's site for Elite Remy or do a search here and find out the contact info for Wagman Primus. I've bought from both and the customer service is excellent. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

| How does the elite remi compare to the bohyme? and whats the price like? I use russian and european mostly but use the bohyme for clients who need a stronger wave or the curly hair, the hair you suggest is cuticle intact yes? and the blond colours are they dried out due to processing or still in good nick? the suppliers of the bohyme are pretty limited to us in the UK especially if i need it quickly x |

You and me both are in the same boat!!!! I have just installed the Bohyme and although this is beautiful hair (especially for the price!!!!) I would say it is not my Russian. But if on a budget or until you find the Russian I would say it's great!!!! I was also sent a sample of the European and It was amazing as well!!! Check out "Bohyme Install" thread and it will show you pictures of the Bohyme. I thought someone said you sell the Russian????

I do sell the russian, but I only ordered 1 kilo in mixed colors. I would like to be able to offer my clients another choice since the russian is so expensive and hard to get! I personally wear it and love it, but I am still looking for the next best thing!
Were did you get the european hair from? How would you compare the texture of the Bohyme to russian? How long does Bohyme last? |

Do you have any Russian available now????? hummmmm Im still looking..... will you sell some?????? longest you have
 I got a sample of the European from Donutloose??? I think that is the name!!! OH I could be soooo off!!! but she sent me a sample of both!!!! I was dancing around like a nut when I opened the package!!!! It was Beautiful!!!!!! and the color was perfect too... But I messed up because when she sent me a sample there were two ponys and I quickly opened them not knowing why there were two and then later realized one was Russian and the other European.... So I mixed them up!!! But one is a little softer then the other (I assume) Russian is a little softer.... but really not much!!! before I realized what I did I thought they were the same hair!!Bohyme is Nice but there really is no comparison!!! My hair is very fine as well and so far only thing that matches is the Russian... But to the average person and even above average  they wouldn't be able to tell with the Bohyme!!! I'm just super, super picky about my hair and I don't mind spending the big bucks on it! ------------- Current Install: European hair two rows triple wefted on bottom double wefted on top, with Protac |

| Oh yes! Count me in on the Russian hair too! I think I'll go all out this next install!( Happy Birthday to me...lol)But I need the hair to be 22 inches...that's hard to find in superior quality hair. If not, I think I'm going for the French refined Bohyme next time! |
