I don't want to call this a review, per se, cuz I haven't worn it (that's when we know how REALLY good it is). This is more of a "got the hair, here's what it looks & feels like" kinda post.
This hair is from http://rkhairproducts.com/ in India. It is the sister company of http://indianhairs.com/onlinestores.html, also from India.
I ordered the hair on May 29 so it got here in 4 days which is totally awesome.
I paid approx. $160USD for 1 lb (16 oz) & shipping was $40 (total out the door price of $200). I discovered in checkout that shipping was $40 for 4 oz and stayed $40 up to 1 lb. Maybe it's a flat shipping fee? I'm not sure.
I weighed the hair using a digital scale and the total was 1.03 lbs so I got what I paid for.
This is India hair, straight, double drawn in 26" length on a weft and was ordered in colors #14 & #22.
They do all the coloring themselves so I don't have to screw it up. #14 is what they call Dark Golden Blonde. It's more like a light golden blonde. They consider #22 to be "light ash brown" but there is nothing ash or brown about it. It is very blonde and close to #613, imo. Both colors have absolutely no ash quality and are very shiny in the sun with golden strands. No red and no brass tones at all. The ends caught a little more color and are somewhat dry. I will only have to trim about 1", though.
I found nits in the hair. I could only see them outside in very bright light. Very very few (I found 2 in one weft just on a quick look through) but something I will need to go through very well outside in good light and make sure they get removed. They're toast because of the processing but that's the drawback with this stuff.
The hair feels very good, actually. It's really soft and not crunchy when rubbed between the fingers. As far as I can tell, it's not hidden in a coating of anything. It seems completely natural. It by far feels better than hairpiece.com 901 in the same length. They're not even in the same league. And I think it feels better than the His & Her remy cuticle that I went through at their store that they sell for $300 per 4 oz. How this wears is another story but I would definitely put this on my head.
Has a very neutral to pleasant smell; neither chemical or perfume but something nice is lingering. It must be leftover shampoo and conditioner aroma.
Here's the pics.
It arrived in a box and each one is individally packaged in 4 oz bundles
Appears to be a nice strong machine weft. Straight, even threading. It does have shorty hairs folded over.
Full 26" length
Proof of double drawn. When the hair is bended at any length, there is no short hairs showing.
True color outside in sunlight
Just on looks, price, shipping, length, I would purchase this hair again over Extensions-Plus. This weight at EP would be over $800 + tax and shipping.
Any questions, fire away...amm 38535.5000462963

[QUOTE=Syren123] Did you get it for yourself or do you have another victim waiting?[/QUOTE]
Two victims. One of whom just had the PH install I showed you guys. She doesn't like it.
Someone told her it looked like a fall and she's never recovered from that. She wants human hair and fusion put back in so I have some more Cinderella ordered and this will be used as a bottom layer for added length.
[QUOTE=AmethystKat] nits??????[/QUOTE]
Ayup. It's exactly what I expected coming from India. It's human hair so expectations have to be realistic. In a perfect world, a golden blonde would be pushing silk strands out her head like a pasta machine on crack. But for now, it's China and India that has the hh goods. Even EP Softwear comes out of China.
Here's some updated photos for those interested. I washed the hair and lo and behold, there's a wave hiding in there. I ordered the straight but this is Indian hair so I expected a little character from it as well.
Loma Peratin Hydrating Creme shampoo was squeezed through and Feria was left on for 10 minutes and squeezed out. It's pretty darn soft. The above photo is while the hair is still wet.
I put the blow dryer to it and POOF! It definitely needs to be tamed. Lots and lots of body in this stuff and the ends kind of looked like a broom. It was HUGE and poofy. I didn't like it one bit. Some product would be needed to keep that under control.
I trimmed an inch off the bottom to get rid of the dry ends.
The top section I used a curling iron and let the curl cool off the iron. The middle curl is letting it fall and gently combed through. The straight is with a flat iron. The braid is just to keep it out of the way.

I am so frustrated of course I just wrote this long response and forgot to hit POST REPLY! Arghhh! Anyways, Amm, that hair looks great and thanks for the great pic! I just recieved some hair from International Wigs. Has anyone dealt w/ them yet? Well, I just opened it I got 10 strands of #24. It was pretty sparce, but the tips were nice and plump. I ran my fingers through it there was already alot of shedding! I just got it to see what it was like (and I really just wanted a bunch of the false eyelashes!!!) Anyways, the also sent some extendtubes with it. Looks like about 50 med. brown ones. I'd like some input from you guys, also, I'm excited about the RK sight!!
