Just got my senghori shells relaxed rhythms in the mail. I bought 12 inch hand tied number 2 and 14 inch machine weft number 2.
Length: They r true to length, no extra. Next time i might buy two 14s instead cuz i do want to give the ends a slight trim.
Texture: When I run my hands through it it still has some courseness to it, definitely not a silky slip feeling to it. It doesn't tangle but ur hand catches in it ever so slightly before it gives. I actually washed it cuz there was something about the feel of it that I didn't like. Some darkish residue came out into the water but stopped after one rinse. Now it's laying on my bed drying. Will let u know if the feel changes when dry. : I'm relaxing tonight, YAY and I do believe that it will be a great match.
Color: The color was a dead on match for my hair. Not too bright like most twos and both packs looked the same color.
Weft: the hand tied is CRAZY THIN!! Less than half the size of the machine weft, maybe the width of angel hair pasta. The hand tied comes in one long weft so you will have to seal if u cut it. The hand tied sheds a little more than the machine tied (before cutting) so I wonder if I should seal the whole thing???
Plan: I'm doing s self install of pieces, not a full head. I still want to have access to my hair so that I can cowash often and even switch up the style. 14 inch machine tied in back, a few 12 in hand tied in front. I will also be attempting some off track fusion with liquid gold next week
Wish me luck. I just spent a grip at the beauty supply store because from now on I'll try to do everything myself
I can't wait to have it installed. I think I'll have a more natural looking weave then with the XQ Cuticle Remy. I think I'm going to give a bleach bath then give that to my daughter so she can make a wig out of it.
