OK, so I bought the Zury Coco Lace Weave System, looking for a quick protective style. This is how it works, for those who aren't familiar. There is a base that goes over the majority of your head. It has weave hair (4 different grades available) attached to a stretchy net cap. The base has a space at the top where you can attach a closure or cut the net away and expose your natural hair for blending.
There are several different types of closures available, some of which allow you to pull your hair through in different ways. I got the full coverage one, because the weave hair doesn't come close to blending with these naps!
OK, so I installed the straight one today. Here's a pic of the style (way at the bottom of the screen)
Pros:
Next time I'll get the Remi, which I will rock till it collapses! This is my winter protective style... and may end up being my style for many moons! I highly recommend it!

Pros:
- SO EASY to install. Just sew around the perimeter of the base, and cut away the excess netting. Then sew on the closure and cut away the excess netting there.
- Nice hair! I got the cheapest version, just to try it. I expected the synthetic hair to be garbage, but I really really like it. It's as silky as human hair. Some folks may wish to remove the shine with an ACV rinse, but I like the shine. It reminds me of my relaxed hair, which I am missing these days. For you corporate sistas, you can use this system to look professional without all the heat damage from styling... and I'd reccomend it to anybody who wants a pretty and easy style for vacations!
- Affordable! (aka Cheap! ) I got mine from savebeauty.com. The base was like $15, the closure $11. It looks like a professionally done sew in, but for a fraction of the price. Since 99% of people could install this themselves (or at least have a friend do it) you save money on the price of installs. And in this economy? Hello!
- Well Constructed. I was afraid it would look wiggy. It doesn't though.
- Versatile! So many choices... you can just have the base, just use the closure with a different weave style, or choose one of the 4 closure styles.
- Healthy Hair Friendly. The net style allows you to wash, moisturize, condition, and dry easily. The limited sewing needed reduces the risk of suffering damage from weave thread cutting your real hair. I may take it down every 2 weeks to redo my cornrows just to prevent matting and keep it nice and flat.
- The hole for attaching the closure is not the same size as the closure... it's a little smaller. I wish it was the same size, for ease of sewing.
- There aren't too many choices of styles. They have the J-style, which is way too short the straight love: it!) and the Diva which I also got... and am about. The more pricey lines have some curly styles, none of which I personally wanted to wear. But everything ain't for everybody.
- The colors run a little dark. I'm wearing the #2 hair and it looks like a 1B at best if not a straight up #1.
- There is some shedding going on. Not tons, but some. What do you expect for so cheap, though?ETA: Wait, there's more shedding than i thought at first. Hopefully the Remi won't shed as much.
Next time I'll get the Remi, which I will rock till it collapses! This is my winter protective style... and may end up being my style for many moons! I highly recommend it!
