I was on the phone with them today and the guy, Alan, said that they updated their ashy color selection and the new ashy ring has 40 colors on it!

 

I only have the standard color ring, and wasn't even aware there was an 'ashy' line.  I guess I did see it on their site before, but I wasn't aware  it was a different line of colors.

 

Anyway, I ordered the ashy color ring and it should be here in a few days.

 

I'll let you know when I get the ring if it's truely different then the standard colors, which are usually on the gold side of the spectrum.

... I am still trying to find the cheapest place to buy "regular" bohyme so I don't know that I would want to pay more for the ashy line. Hard to say.

I just got a pack from gobunnys.com, and I noticed that the color 16 looked very different from the regular 16 I have always got, it was much ashier, the color was very very nice, the cut in the ends was more blunt and the thread of the handtied wefts was beige instead of the usual white thread.

I called the company, because it was my first time with them and I wanted to make sure it was some genuine bohyme, and the representative -a very nice guy- told me that they order directly from Bohyme and have the hair sent directly to the customer.

He also said that Bohyme slightly changed its products since the price increase. So my thought were either it's an old batch -no problem about it, the hair was still gorgeous- or maybe I just got the "new" shade 16, which is ashier and more natural looking than the more golden regular 16.

Metalgirl, do you deal with Bohyme directly? If I were you I would call them and talk to them about it. I asked my rep a long time ago about the Bohyme Blonde that ebonyline sells because I was curious about it. The rep really didnt have much to say about the Bohyme Blonde. I got the distint impression that she didnt care for it. Dont know if it was just a personal preference or just my interpretation, but I just got the opinion that the rep didnt think it was the same quality as the regular Bohyme line.

 

As for my first reply about the colors, it applies to the regular line of Bohyme. I am going to do some comparisons today but there are definitely some slight color differences in the new packages that I have recieved.

If the new regular bohyme colors are more on the ashy side than the "old" regular bohyme however, it might make this "ashy" line on Superhairfactory a bit irrelevant, who knows?

 

Q #1. What is the difference from Bohymes regular 'gold' line and Ebonyline's Bohyme Blonde and superhairfactory's Bohyme Ashy Blonde lines?

A: There is none. There is no Bohyme Blonde line, There is no Bohyme Ashy Blonde line. It's whatever the distributor wishes to call it. They can make up their own colors, numbers or color descriptions. But these are just names the distributor chooses to give the products. Its the same Bohyme hair.

Q #2: Has Bohyme changed the colors, because I am seeing some slight variations of the colors?

A: No there has been no color changes, but you may see slight color variations depending on the dye lot/batch/processing.

 

I talked with a Bohyme rep a few months ago to  set up an account to get wholesale prices.  It took several calls on my part to finally get someone to fax me the wholesale pricelist after I sent all my business info.  I was also having a language problem with that rep, he was Asian and didn't have a great understanding of English.

 

 However I was very dissappointed that they give a lousy  wholesale discount and you have to buy I think it was at least 6 packages at a time.  Since I only use it on customers and myself and don't want to spend money on inventory, it doesn't make sense for me to hassle with ordering from them.

 

Anyway, I'm eager to see the new 'ashy' color ring.

 

Thanks!
