Hair Human Hair (Mr. Liu) Skin Wefts

Hello everyone...I am new here.  But not really.  I have this site stored in my favorites and I check in to read at least once a day but I never have reason to post because I'm here for tips/questions and they always seem to get answered by you experts without me even asking

I've been hoping someone has an update on products received from hairhumanhair.com; specifically the skin wefts.  I just ordered.  I read the long thread on company but the last update was mid-Sept.

So if anyone has been using skin wefts, I would love another update (I read what Metal Girl said).  If anyone ordered from Mr. Liu to the States, can you tell me the approximate time from order to your doorstep. 

TIA

I don't know about the skin wefts, but would love you to give your opinion on them once you get them.  I thought that they would be a great idea for partings and closures for afro /carribean / american weave wearers, but we would only need a couple of small peices.  I hope that the hair holds up for you anyway

Well, I ordered both yaki & curly.  I am really dying to hear from others who actually wear these darn skin wefts....it seems that no one who uses them for everyday wear is talking

I will happily give a report here, as I am also going to give one over on Black Hair Media...everyone's waiting for me to do it I guess.

I too was thinking it would be good for relaxed textured/Afro Carribbean Hair, however, the drawback is that oil breaks down the bond, especially if you don't use a second adhesive (I still don't know which adhesive this is). 

Hi,

Charlene and I put in a jumbo order with him over a month ago, and now finally we just were notified that the shipment was sent.  We have not received it yet.

So far, I am not impressed that it took so long to ship the order, when his email to us stated shipping within 7 days.  I think it's been 5 weeks.

When we do get the order, we'll let you know what we think of the hair.

I myself have worn the seamless wefts (from Gemtress) on a long term basis (12 at a time) and I love them a lot. 

MetalGirl...thank you for your reply!  (I was going to hunt you down ) Hmmm..now I am worried.  Oh well, at least you will get yours before I get mine and you can give a review as well.  I just ordered yesterday.  He told me it would be 17 days to receive my (much smaller than your) order.  I guess that's a lie unless what happened in your case was unusual.

I have heard such good things about how flat and natural they look.   I have two questions for you:  How do they feel and how much versatility do you have in styling?  (3 ?'s) and how long do they stay in?

remi lover, thanks for your replies too.  The hair is remy and ordereing from hairhumanhair.com, they are dirt cheap.  He is apparently the supplier to several retailers here, including hairpiece.com  There is a heavy UPS shipping charge and of course they only take bank wires and Western Union which also carries a charge.

[QUOTE=remilover]Thanks  P. Joy, I'll have a look, but I doubt they will let me just buy one or two wefts  (bit cheeky I know)[/QUOTE]

He does not have a minimum order but you might want to order a little more; enough to justify the shipping charge.

Each weft is 90 cm (1 yard), plenty for what you want to use it for but still.  You'd be paying more for shipping than hair if you just order one

[QUOTE=Koffee Brown] How do u think the curly would blend w/ a NG 3b coarse type texture? [/QUOTE]

I really have no I idea how it will blend but we will all soon find out .  I'll be sure to post pics and a report.

Hi Phenomenal Joy!

Seamless wefts lay very flat, therefore there is no bulk that you get from machine wefted weaves.  I found them to be very comfortable.

As for styling, as you know, the biggest drawback of wefts is that as they grow out, they get 'saggy', thus making it harder to put the hair up in  a pony tail.  While that is still the case with seamless wefts, it's not as much as a problem because they do lay so flat to the head.  I would style them as I normally would, either scrunch in curls with gel, flat iron, or curl with an iron.  I work out alot, so  I would pony tail the hair and it was fine. 

How long they stay in depends on how they are applied.  I used the proflex 2 tape and some hair piece adhesive, and sandwiched my hair between 2 pieces of the weft.  I got 12 weeks out of them, but due to the saggy factor, I would say if you get 8 weeks out of them, that would probably be more realistic.

remilover, I think you would do well ordering a couple of strips, and I really think these strips will be perfect for blending with sewn or bonded in tracks.  As you can tell from my BHM thread, I ordered both yaki & remy and I can't wait to see this yaki texture! 

I am planning to do my whole head with these skin wefts, so I purchased 4 strips of each.  4 strips=2 pks of BSS hair or somewhere around 8 oz of Indian Hair.  Wish me luck

remilover, BHM is the weirdest place.  Unlike the streamlined fashion in which my membership was approved over here, I have heard people who waited for, literally months, from the time the filled out a registration before they could post .  Admin really sucks over there, but I'm looking forward to seeing your posts...eventually.

Metalgirl, I really want to thank you for that information as it has been really hard to find an actual user review.  If you don't mind, I'm going to post your answer to my ?'s in my thread on BHM on the same topic.

Oh, and, unless Mr. Liu is just a liar, my order is going to be shipped soon.  He emailed me this morning to confirm the shipping address.  Maybe your "jumbo" order was something he couldn't meet really fast?  My order was small. (8 strips)

Hiya PJ,

My order took less than 2 weeks to be made, and then it spent 5 days in transit (3 of which were spent in a Clearing Agency in Ontario :\ ).
