Yes. The hair is OK. I found it sheds considerably less than Indique though you get less ounces than Indique. I also found the hair lacked volume (I ordered Relaxed Perm). I'll go with Yaki hair next time or their Fro-Out option.

I have fine hair and don't really like volume. I also always seal my wefts as well.

I've ordered Light Relaxed, Relaxed Perm and that new straighter hair they had premieres this summer which is thicker than the first two I ordered. I like the service with them and will probably continue ordering hair from them.

I have had their light relaxed and relaxed in 12, 16 and 18 inches. The hair is full and i have reused for sewins at 4x each. I will never use a different brand again. I cant wait to try the fro out. Ill be trying that next year.

You use a closure? I wanted to get the light relaxed but the closure is only in the regular relaxed.

Do you think the closure is very natural looking?

@julzinha , I personally wouldn't say very natural looking...I mean my stylist bleached the knots and to me that helped but I could look at it and tell it's a closure.... (I'm very particular) ...my sister and my male friend seem to think it looks nice. I think it's more obvious up close but in pictures it's very natural looking.

Next time, I will sew a taupe cloth underneath to hide the knots...I believe that would help

I've had the fro out installed for a full four weeks now and so far I really like it, BUT keep in mind this is the first install I've ever had so I don't really have much to compare it to. I'm still a little worried about the longevity because the hair started being offered so recently.
I've washed the hair a total of three times (once before installing and twice after) and the has not turned on me at all. No tangling and very little shedding, none while washing and maybe 2-3 hairs during the week when styling. The wefts were cut and not sealed. The hair does hold a curl for a few days if I use a setting mousse (Nairobi) or set on wet hair. Trying to curl with a curling wand on dry hair gave me one day hair before it starts to fall.
It matches my hair almost identically both texture and color. My hair is just a bit more frizzy naturally but Sabino moisture block takes care of that. Blending has been very easy except when the weather has been abnormally super humid (DMV weather smh).
I have some EPRT ready to go and I just ordered some GHOH blowout so I'll see how everything compares over the next year.

I have used the Fro-out wefts since it debuted and have went on to buy it several times. I have worn it sewn in and made a couple of wigs. I actually like it more than EPRT because it is more coarse. I wear it long, 16"-20". I have hot curled it, set it, ironed it, and let it air dry. It maintains its texture well. The wefts that I split had light shedding but sealing took care of that. The un-split wefts rarely shed. I did however notice a small amount of breakage with my first wig but it is years old at this point.
Maintenance is simple for me. I co-wash it or wash with a simple shampoo like Cream of Nature or Kirkland conditioner. I condition it if I used shampoo. I then lightly spray a leave in like Jane Carter or a homemade mix and use a quarter size amount of serum to seal it. Thats all I have to do. The hair dries with a nice soft, coarse texture that matches my hair well. I usually wear it in its natural state.
I will say this, the wefts arrive looking smooth and relatively straight. You don't see the true texture until you wash or wet it. A friend of mine installed too much hair because she thought that it was too silky. She washed it and turned into Cousin It lol.
I haven't tried their closure. I really want to but I'm leery about closures in general. I really like the look of a natural scalp and no matter how many tricks you try, there is a limit to how natural it is going to look in person because of the grid. I do however want to try one for when I start lifting weights heavy again and don't want to fool with leave out. I just have to have realistic expectations for a closure. They appear to be constructed well. I'm going to try one when they go on sale again.
Any more questions just left me know.

I used the 3b3c hair recently and I am not impressed. I bought this hair after the place I previously purchased air closed. I have experience with textured sewins. And yes I sealed the wefts and didn't cut them.
The hair sheds and also knots, often. I actually damaged my own hair because of the tugging to constantly comb out the hair.
The first sew in was ok but towards the end, it seemed to knot worse. I took it out washed it conditioned it and reinstalled with the closure then things got bad.
Second install. Shed constantly and knotted. I used their closure this time not impressed it was a very poor closure for the price.
Lastly, I want to say that it seemed that one bundle of hair was a poorer quality than the other which is were the problem was I think. Unforchanately out don't know that until afte you wash and condition it which would have voided the return sticker on he hair. I thought this hair would be difficult after I got it ready for the first installed as one entire bundle seemed ot not curly as well and really acted more like cheap synthetic hair and human hair. But i used it anyway as I had purchased it and didn't feel I had a choice.
I will not repurchase.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I have wanted to buy Onyc hair for a long time now, but the cost of their hair scares me that I might pay $$$ for a bad bundle. I really think almost all hair companies, good or bad, sometimes produce “bad” batches (intentional or not, idk.) And yeah, there’s no way to tell until you start using the hair!
Have you found a replacement company yet? How do you like them?

No I have found a replacement I would recommend. I did recently but some natural texture clipins after a few months I will post here if they are working out. This same company has wefted hair as well. The reviews I found online where good.

I am in no way affiliated with this company nor paid for my opinion. thank you.
