I STRONGLY AGREE. the females at my college use this hair and it looks sooooo natural, lasts very long, and they do so many styles to it without the hair lookin tangled or strands falling out. I am going to start using this too. I would rather buy a pack for $50-60 and wear it for a while, then to get a $20 dollar Outre and have to redo the hair 3 to 4 weeks later.
IMO of course......
ps. if u read up on this hair u will see how great it is

Remy is a type though. It's a higher quality hair. Just another catergory for type of hair like synthetic, human, protein, etc. A lot of different brands offer Remy hair. There's not just one Remy hair out there. It's not just this company Remy hair today. They are a brand/distributor. They just chose to put Remy in the name of their company. Bohyme, EP, Indian Hairs.com, Outre, Sensationnel, Lugos, etc all have Remy hair but they are all diferrent and some are obviously better than others. You get what you pay for though.

I think I paid $600 something for custom hair, 18 inches, slightly wavy, Indian Remy, but I'm not sure. I probably blocked it out! I don't remember how much I got....6 oz maybe? I know it was more than 4 oz cuz I had alot of hair left. When I was done with my hair I sold it to a friend.

You are correct. REMY hair is the best. Extensions Plus and other high end hair companies only sale Remy hair. I think Remy means that the hair from one source (same region etc) and cuticle aligned. This means there will be less tangling, matting, etc. So that is VERY important. Whereas non-remy hair is taken from different sources and usually not cuticle aligned---which is why most cheap/non-remy or even cheap remy hair tangles, sheds excessively...etc.

I still think the best I've gotten was from http://rkhairproducts.com/online.html
I know some have said bad things about them on BHM, but I have never had a problem and I like the prices better.
It does not blend like the Extensions-plus relaxed textured hair because it is not processed at all, unless you get the colored products.
I love the double-drawn hair. I have used it for braids. Great hair.
I don't think I can ever justifiy spending more for hair.

That's it? For some reason I expected it to be more than that. I'm definitely going to check into it.

I just found the receipt and it was $768 but I can't tell how many oz. I ordered. Probably 4 or 5. Well worth the money and I'd spend it again in a heartbeat. Especially because you can use the hair over and over again and it is an EXACT match for your hair type and color.
There was something about the weft that my weavologist (new word!) hated though. I think they used some kind of glue on the weft and it was really hard for her to get the needle through.

I thought you were supposed to sew around the weft? I think they specifically say that you should not sew through or allow your stylist to sew through the weft because that could ruin the hair/weft. My stylist always sewed around mine when I had it in. I never had a problem with her sewing around it. It layed flat and looked good. Has your weft/hair held up even with sewing through?
Also, that is a great price for the customized hair and I agree that it is definitely worth it to have the hair match yours perfectly.

You're right. They're supposed to sew around. The first time I did my weave I sewed it through because I didn't know that I shouldn't. I've heard it makes the hair shed more. Ever since then I've always sewn mines around. It lays flatter.

She sewed around the weft but where she started the weave hair, that first initial attachment, she wanted to get in the weft with the needle and it was hard for her to do that. It was only my second weave so I'm still learning!

Beware of BSS hair that calls itself Remy. I had a horrible experience w/ Sensationnel "Remy."
I just purchased 12" of EPRT 1 and 1b and am on my second install. I was having horrible problems w/ BSS hair tangling and shedding and would happily buy this hair again. It is a perfect match for my coarse relaxed hair, although it does not hold a curl as well as BSS yaki.

Re: eprt
I did not like that Sensationnel hair either. It did not tangle or anything for me, but something just was not right. Having had real REMY cuticle hair I know they did something to that stuff.

my girlfriend gets her hair from hisandher.com . She gets the 50%Mink /50%human and swears by this stuff. I haven't used it because I can't afford it but I know her hair stays new looking and feeling nice for about 6months. she even gets her own hair washed & relaxed while the weave is in. check out the site.
FYI- she uses 2packs.

Dang - I have used that one, too.
I have some pics of my hair weaved with that one actually. I have that fotki closed, but I can reopen it.Blends VERY WELL!! http://public.fotki.com/amalata/hisandhercom/
I just can't find it in myself to spend that kind of money anymore. I used to do it all the time, too. But now - I got my mortgage to pay and my new hard-wood floors to save up for.

This is a great thread. Anyway, does anyone recommend maybe blending some of the cheaper hair (say, Black Diamond or Senghori Shells or something) with the more expensive brands (like EP)? How would that work? Has anyone ever tried it?

Re: eprt
It's processed to some degree. And it's Chinese Remi instead of Indian which is more coarse. I've used the French Wave and Body Wave. They've worked for me since they were curlyand wavy hair. I was able to wash them as much as I wanted and got 3 uses out of each 2 packs I bought. They definitely held up better than any BSS curl or wave. Y'all know they turn into a frizzy matted mess after about the 3rd wash. IDK about that straight hair though. I didn't like how it felt when I touched it.

Re: eprt
It looked cute when I first got it. When the NG started kicking in
erplexed
Also, I think it would have blended better if the color was right. You can't tell by the pic, but that 1b was kinda brownish. My hair is black so that was hard to deal with after awhile.
You're right it was more coarse. It was much thicker than I wold have liked. And I had my hair out between the tracks.

Re: eprt
Wow it looks really silky! Was that the silky straight or the yaki? I doubt it would have ever matched my hair. When I got straight hair I always bought Outre platinum new yaki. It looked like my hair because it was fine. One of my friends used to buy it too.

Re: eprt
Girl, that was Yaki! I was in the BSS recently and saw this same hair and it was less silky in the Yaki. I do think Sensationnel changed some things recently. I used to use their hair for braids. It was always nice for that. But this time it was like Barbie Doll hair. They need to step it up a little.
But, maybe they haev changed the Goddess Remi for the better.
I am going to use Janet Collection Gold mink yaki for my next weave. I have not have one in a while and yall got me wishing for it.

Remy is the BEST hair. I pay 75 a bag but it is worth it. It looks natural, doesn't tangle, and has a lasting shine. I love my remy. This is a better investment folks, brands like Milky Way will shed all over your bathroom in about 2-3 weeks. But if you plan to keep the hair in for only two weeks go for the cheaper brand.

Re: eprt
I'm not sure. I don't think so. But I know that they have more styles. When it first came out it was just the body wave, french wave, silky straight and yaki. Now there's more of them like loose refined and loose body wave. So maybe they have changed it. I've bought 3 batches of the french wave (2 packs each time once a year) and one of the loose body wave (which I have no idea where it is in my house
I only wore it twice). But I didn't notice a difference in the french wave. The last time I bought it was in January of this year. It behaves a lot better once you deep condition it though. After that I could wash and go with no products.

Thank you guys for all the advice and hair weaving websites, I think I'm going to go with Extensions Plus.I'm looking to get it done the first week of September, and I'm looking for a style like Meagan Good. I will post pics to let you guys see the results, and give a product review.
, Actually, my hair is in a weave now, but it's is a sew in in the back, and cornrows (think Beyone Say My Name video) in the front. My hair is doing very well in the sew in since I've been using my leav in conditioner, and Boundless tress everyday. It's growiing like crazy, and it's only been 3 weeks since I got my hair done. I think wearing a weave for the next 6 months with proper maitenece, will put me at APL in no time!!!

After seeing your pics, I think I would like to use the his & her hair that you used. How much hair do yo uthin I will need for a full head sew in Med thickness? Also, did it shed? Cause I hate when the hair sheds and gets all in the bathroom sink, clothes, floor, food, everywhere!! Also, WHat color did you have in the pic, cause I actually think I am either a 1b or a number 2

I used that one too for a while! I used to get it in the French Refined, and the 50/50 mix does last about 6 months. You can get 2 bundles of it for less than like $125. I've heard of people being able to use the Cuticle hair for like 3 years though.....
I couldn't picture using the same hair for that long. I don't care how good it is!!
