So I am thinking of transitioning long term as of next year. This will be one of my goals for 2010 as well as reaching APL. I am currently neck length but not far off shoulder length and about 4.5 months post relaxer. My Plan is therefore to use Wigs and Weaves to transition for a year and see how it goes.
I plan on keeping sew ins in for 6-7 weeks, thereafter taking out the sew in and doing a heavy protein treatment and moisturising treatment followed by 2 -3 steams and resting my hair in between with wigs or phony ponies for 2 weeks. I plan to maintain the weave by washing and deep conditioning weekly like I would with my own hair and braiding nightly to avoid tangling. I also plan to dry my own hair/scalp (under the weave) on a cool setting under my hood dryer to avoid matting, tangling, mil dew etc hence why I am looking at Virgin hair which I have been told hold up to this weekly washing much better.
Anyway I am looking to use Indian Curly hair so that I can more easily blend my own 4a/ 4b hair in with the weave hair without resorting to heat to blend my own hair.
I was therefore looking for some Virgin Indian Curly recommendations from you ladies on the board. I am happy to pay about $200 for 8 oz on the condition that it is good quality hair that I can use a few times (i.e. about 6 months so therefore about 3 installs).
When rating hair could you please provide information on:
1. If the hair is Virgin curly Remy hair
2. Colour match for 1b hair/ off black hair
3. Texture
4. How easy the hair is to wash/ condition
5. If the hair matt's, tangles etc
6. VENDORS !!!
7. Rating on Vendors !!!
Also any experiences you have had with this type of hair - both positive and negative would be great.
Thanks !
Finally I have seen some super lush YT vids for Indian curly hair (see below):
