OMG! My new Russian hair is unbelievable! Just installed and I have quite a bit left over. I am offering it in the trade section if your interested. I would hang on to it...but over spent, as I thought I'd need more. It's so full of body yet baby silky! I am going to vegas to rock my new do and need the extra cash!

Hey, Fina! I am in heaven..I tell you! I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! It's exactly like my own....finally! I will never go back to anything else now. You were right! lol. Surprisingly, though it's much finer...we didnt need as much as when I wear the Bohyme French Refined. And that's with NO FOLDOVER! We only used about 5 and 1/4 oz.
The hair has so much "swing"...and my ponytail is so bouncy when I walk! LOL...It's like I have a whole new attitude! haha.
I am getting MASS complements on it. My boyfriend told me, "Ok-- it DOES look awesome and yes...it was worth the money." lol.
Heather was in awe over it. She went to the site already looking at bulk prices. :)
I just wish I hadn't bought so much of it right now! I have a Vegas trip next week and could use the money back! If I hang on to it...I will probably just color it different reds for next time. The red I did came out SOOOOOO pretty! So the dark brown and red mixed together is beautiful! I will post pics after I get back from my trip. I will have lots!
Thanks for the help on ordering different lengths. It was just right for the layers!

Sorry....not sure I get your point? You can love more than one type of hair, mind you. I DO love the Bohyme....for what it is--reasonable price, very nice hair for as close as I thought I could get to my own hair. However, Bohyme is MUCH coarser than the Russian hair. The Bohyme blended well with my own because of the body in it....but this hair is a total different ballgame. So yes-- I now believe that the Russian hair is unbeatable for fine caucasian hair and I will continue to rave about it. :)msfitns722007-09-23 22:46:34

Believe me, after seeing that you're so fast to switch from something you raved about, I'm not putting much weight into your word either.

Girl I say keep the hair.. I would be hard pressed to sell or give away ANYTHING in my stash.. Especially hair I like.. I think I have only sold or given away TWO things out of my hair stash.. I gave hair to a friend of mine who really didn't have money to buy nice hair.. She was doing Showtime At the Apollo, and I wanted her to have nice hair for her big debut.. The other hair I sold to my stylist because she didn't like the hair her client was bringing in.. I needed an excuse to buy some other hair I had my eye on.. So I had to thin the herd so to speak to justify the purchase.. .. So I say keep it & be greedy! It's not like the hair will go to waste..

Ahhh, the hair stash. You know you don't have enough life left to wear all of it but... Every now and then you pull it out from it's shrine, I mean box and admire it for a little while. Then back into your special place my sweeties until we meet againHeart%20Glasses Ms.Honey2007-09-24 12:58:38

Yeah, Diva...I will probably end up keeping it since it is different layers and most people will want to buy all one length. I like to purchase 1 inch increments for the layers. That way you also are able to purchase more hair! Then I shutter to think the vendor will run out or be "out of stock" any time soon! I am thinking this hair is going to last a long while though. You can just tell it is totally not coated with anything. I just wish I'd have known how little it would actually take to make a full head of hair before I spent so much moo-lah! And lemme tell you-- I wear BIG LONG HAIR! I wore Bohyme for over a year...but this baby fine hair is a great find! Woo-hoo!

Malibu-- it is obvious that you have some issues with the Russian hair/vendor, etc. I have no place in that....nor did I come here to start drama. I am officially apologizing for any misunderstanding or miscommunication between you and I. However, I still stand behind my opinion and comments on the quality of this hair. I like Bohyme very much....and love this Russian hair even more. Just like I love certain hair products...try some others...and then love THEM even more. Hell-- I loved Stoli vodka until I tried Grey Goose! Its now my new favorite! You get my point. Oh well...this drama is over now. I have great hair I am enjoying and if anyone is interested in trying a bit, I have it for them. If not...I'll neatly tuck it away for future use! PEACE~

I appreciate your postSmile but for the record, I haven't got hard feelings for the Russian hair vendor. I think he would love to think I gave that much thought about him but I don't.LOL

Enjoy your hair! If you can hold on to the remaining you should.

hi misfitns, I say keep the hair...can never have enough hair in the shrine (as mshoney calls it!)Big%20smile
 
I could certainly see how Bohyme French Refined would be much coarser than russian hair, as the french refined is processed for texture.

I am sort of weird about hair also. If I buy it, it MUST all go on my head in some shape or form even if it wont fit.

I made the mistake of improperly measuring my head and then I ordered a custom weft that costed more and I didnt need all that. I learned my lesson though. Use a cloth tape measure and dont try to guestimate it lol!

Misfitn,

I agree, keep the hair. Russian hair is going up on price every few months, and it's not coming down any time soon. If this hair gets any more pricey it will become for movie stars and the very wealthy only. By next year when you are ready to reorder the cost will be so high you will want to kick yourself for selling it.

I wish it was not so pricey but the trade off for that seems to be hair that lasts, and lasts and lasts until you cut it or destroy it with over processing. The only reason I can see for the high cost is that it

Are those good laughs or bad laughs? lol. I probably should not even ask. You need to remember here that I am not a stylist, lord knows. I am a client and usually lost and confused when it comes to hair so I have latched onto ANY and all information I can find on these forums. Then I try my best to do research but at some point you just need to throw some money down and get hair. I probably only got lucky hehe. There are a lot of vendors and they make all the hair look so pretty on their websites, thats for sure. You cant go by that rule #1krimsa2007-09-28 11:58:55

Well ya know when you are browsing hair vendor websites and trying to get some ideas? Doesn't it just seem really difficult to decide because of course they just show you all this beautiful, gorgeous, shiny looking hair? I want to see hair thats been on a head for a month or two dammit!! lol.
