Hi Ladies,
I've had this hair (two bundles: 1 -18" and 1 -20" installed for about a month (perimeter left out) and it has been quiet a ride.
I purchased the hair in Jan of this year, I was suppose to install it for a vacation but waited. When I received the hair I cowashed it and put a dark brown rinse on it. I didn't observe any real shedding. Before I installed it last month I cowashed it again (shea moisture conditioner).
The pros: The hair matches my natural texture beautifully. The curl are gorgeous. The hair is true to length. The bundles are full.
The cons: The shedding, the tangling, and the matting. I cowash at least once a week, it is usually twice. I detangle every two days. The amount of hair loss and matting is disturbing. This is my first weave with curly hair. My hairdresser set my expectations with the shedding but even she said this was a bit much. The hair literally locs up and not just in the back. This hair has matted all over. I use a detangler (kinky curly knot today). I used the conditioner recommended (Tresseme moisture). Neither of these really worked.

I sent the owner Mercy an email last week. I sent pictures of the hair loss. I asked for help in managing the hair. She suggested silicon mix and a paddle brush for the tangling. She said she has had the hair for a months and hasn't experienced the amount of shedding and matting I have described (sideEye).
She offered free shipping on my next purchase. I bought another two bundles because I already have this hair installed and I need to get through this summer. Free shipping didn't include express, so she split the cost with me.
I posted a review on her site stating the issues I had with the hair. It has been deleted. I did my research before buying this hair. I watched youtube, read blogs, searched LHCF, IG etc... It seemed as if everyone has a good experience. Maybe I got a bad batch, who knows. I'm hoping that I can last another four weeks with this hair but at the rate of hair shedding and matting I don't think so.
I love the idea of purchasing my hair from a Black Woman owned business but my experience has made me gun shy and my last purchase was my actual last.
I suggest you proceed with caution and expect to spend a good amount of time on your hair if you purchase this...
