Hi Ladies!

First of all I want to thank all the beautiful members of this forum for pulling me back in this addictive world of hair extensions, I Love it!!!

I wanted to share some great advice for those, that like me are in a budget but still want to rock Sexy, Long, Addictives HAIR.  I discovered some amazing things during this great journey with my install.

As many of you know I installed my Deep Wave on October 9, 2006. (Reference: http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=47559&KW=Aphrodiva2 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=47559&KW=Aphrodiva2 )

2 Days ago I took them down; It was time to readjust since my hair has grown. But I decided that instead of a Deep Wave, to do a Body Wave, to change my look (I got so tired of myself already, LOL)

Amazingly my Deep Wave install lasted so long and considering that I had to get my hair wet almost every day to revive the curls, and use lots of creamy conditioner to keep my curls soft.

If you remembered in one of my posts I had purchased the wrong Tape thinking it was the Protac /Proflex you are all taking about. (Post Reference: http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=47361&KW - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=47361&KW =

Well, since I purchased this Roll of tape, I decided to use it anyway (I hate that feeling of wasted money) I reinforced the tape with Liquid Gold and did Double Wefts.

Amazingly the hair held perfectly wash after wash, no gooey stuff, no falling, the application was Flat, Secure, and Long Lasting. I know it reads that is for temporary usage, but I think that  is when you use it to adhere to the scalp, but since you are gluing to hair and reinforced with liquid gold it will last a lot more. Plus you secure the double wefts by adding heat with a flat/hot iron to the tape and wefts.Like explained here: http://hairextensions101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=317 - http://hairextensions101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=317

I read on an email they sent me that what make this tape different to the BLUE Pro-flex tape were the little holes that blue tape have to allow the scalp to breath, and it has a compound milder for the skin, so the pores wont get cloged.

The removal was a Breeze….I used acetone, and a little cotton ball with Super Solve Tape remover. The best part is that I still have so much tape for probably 5 more installs, and remover too.

The hair was not an expensive one, but was great quality, and Perfect color! It never tangles, it always looks fresh, I love it, the brand is Unique Wiiv 100% Human hair and only cost around $40.00 for 18” hair and I will reuse it again soon.  I wish I had known about this brand earlier, I wasted more money on cheapo and expensive Beauty Supply hair that never lasted more than 2 weeks, looking freeze and like a beat up broom.

I installed the Body Wave from Unique Wiiv and I am so impressed how beautiful it looks!! And hair feels so great! I washed it and the wave went away, but the hair texture matches mine completely when I flat iron it and is full of body. LOVE IT!

So in short note:

Unique Wiiv Hair 18” ($39.99 each) from http://store.bohyme-ext.com/wehaex.html - here

Liquid Gold ( $2.75) from http://hairextensions101.com/main/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26&vmcchk=1 - Sherrie

And in all this stores the shipping was super fast and customer service amazing!

I hope Sherrie reads this and get some of those Rolls, I would like to buy all in one place J Plus her service ROCKS!!!!

I will post pics tonight of my new BOdy Wave install. I hope this Long Post help those on a tight budget.

Thanks Aphrodiva for letting us know about your experience with the 'Unique Wiiv' hair.I have been eyeing up that hair on Ebonyline for about 2 weeks now,it's so cheap!! But, I haven't really heard much about it so haven't ordered it yet.It says on the ebonyline site that the hair is made by the Bohyme company so I figured it must be decent? I have been really researching the net for decent hair since my last mishap ordering hair  so I'm taking my time before I order hair again-I really am on a budget lol

Hello Again Beautiful Queens!! I am so  glad you enjoyed my post.

 Frenchie: I tried Bohyme Deep Wave Euro in a Blonde color more than 3 years ago (when I was blonde) and to be honest, I can’t tell the difference. I was hoping and crossing my fingers that this Unique Wiiv would be at least similar to that Bohyme Deep Wave, and lucky me it was. The only thing is that that Bohyme Hair since it was Blonde, the hair look a little  thinner ( I guess the bleach caused that).

Darma: Yes the hair comes wefted (if you order it on weft)

BB: Yes, the hair is not super silk, that is why it matches my hair texture so much. Since my natural hair is curly, this hair texture is perfect. The Body Wave blends perfectly, I just relax the edges and blow dry my natural hair on top, Blends perfectly!! Is Full Of Body and Volume, since is not a very silky texture.

LongHairDreams: The Deep Wave is so beautiful, especially if you order a mixed color. I will install the Deep Wave again after I get FedUp of the Bodywave style. And I am in LOVE with my Body Wave!!!!

I am doing a Jessica Rabbit’s style this week (part on the side). I need a little more hair on the top, and I’ll be ready to post pictures pretty soon.
