Hair isn’t great. Tons of short hairs mixed in. Doesn’t seem like remy hair.
I got the 3 Bundles of Body Wave - 18 inch, 20 inch, and 22 inch.<br /><br />Overall, these aren’t my favorite bundles. They aren’t the worst, but definitely no where near the best. The hair definitely doesn’t look like the smooth, beautiful, healthy looking hair the product photos show. It looks like it’s just full of shorter hairs. It seems like each bundle is made up of a bunch of different length hairs - like they have strands that are the right length, but then they took a bunch of shorter lengths to add to it to make it thicker. I can’t really recommend them. There’s better out there for around the same price.<br /><br />It says that “each package have a free gift.” I’m not sure if it’s different for everyone but what was included in mine was 2 black elastic hair ties that have a little fabric like bow tied to it. Each bow had a different design.<br /><br />The product page said that these are “true to length.” Like I said before, I got the bundles that were 18 inch, 20 inch, and 22 inch. Now, when you measure hair that is wavy, curly, etc. - basically any style that isn’t straight - you are supposed to pull the hair straight to measure the length. It seems that most hair sellers state the length of the hair as what it is when it is completely straight. So, usually, if you want a body wave style hair that is 18 inches, you’d want to pick one that is a few inches longer than 18 inches since it will only be 18 inches when pulled completely straight. I never understand why hair sellers do it this way. Usually, if someone is buying a style like body wave, curly, etc. it’s because they want that style of hair. So, if someone is buying bundles/wigs and they don’t know about this, they would buy an 18 inch body wave bundle/wig thinking it will be 18 inches in that body wave style. But, it won’t be with most hair sellers. There have been a few times I was pleasantly surprised when I got a body wave or curly style and it was actually the length I ordered without having to pull it straight. But, it’s so rare, I’m usually pretty darn surprised when it happens! (And, that’s definitely a brand I’ll go back to in the future when purchasing because of that!). Anyways, these are NOT the length you ordered UNLESS you pull them completely straight. And I mean COMPLETELY straight. Sometimes with body wave or curly hair, you just need to pull it a little straight and the hair will be to the length you ordered. But, other times, you really need to TUG to get the hair as straight as possible to get it to the length you ordered. So, if you were to straighten the hair, THEN it would be 18 inches, and 18 inches EXACTLY. I wanted the body wave style, so I won’t be straightening mine. But, I wanted to mention that in case you’re like me and want to keep the body wave style, if you want a certain length with it in the body wave style, make sure to order a few inches longer.<br /><br />When I measured the 18 inch bundle with it in the body wave style, it was about 12 inches. When I pulled (and I mean PULLED so it was as straight as could be), I just BARELY got to 18 inches, but that tells me that IF I was going to straighten it, it would go to 18 inches.<br /><br />When I measured the 20 inch bundle with it in body wave style, it was about 13.5 inches. When I pulled (again, I had to PULL as much as I could), I could just it just BARELY to 20 inches, which, again, tells me that IF I was going to straight it, it would go to 20 inches.<br /><br />When I measured the 22 inch bundle with it in the body wave style, it was about 14.5 inches. When I pulled (again, I had to PULL as much as I could), I could just it just BARELY to 22 inches, which, again, tells me that IF I was going to straighten it, it would go to 22 inches.<br /><br />The hair itself isn’t the greatest. There are A LOT of short hairs that look like fly away hairs. I had to use a lot of oil in the hair to smooth it down.<br /><br />The product page said that each bundle weighs 100 grams, so all 3 together weighs 300 grams. I did weigh them myself when I got them and they did each weigh 100 grams. Keep in mind that even though they each weigh 100 grams, they are NOT the same thickness. The longer the length of your bundles, the more hair you’ll need. That’s because, hair bundles are measured by grams or ounces. Typically, each bundle is around 100-114 grams regardless of the length. This means that the SHORTER lengths, from 8 inches to 16 inches will be THICKER when compared to LONGER hair bundles. Since the weight is the same no matter the length, longer hair will start to slightly thin out near the ends. So, always keep in mind that the thickness of the hair will differ based on the length - the shorter the hair, the thicker the hair.<br /><br />Bundles/extensions weighing between 100g-140g are suitable for most women. Hair of this weight is usually sold in various lengths, but the weight is ALWAYS the SAME, for example a pack of 14 inch hair and a pack of 22 inch hair will both WEIGH the SAME but the 14 inch piece will have more hair on the WIDTH whereas the 22 inch extensions will be LONGER in length. <br /><br />With these bundles, you get 3 bundles of differing lengths. I got the bundles that are 18 inch, 20 inch, and 22 inch. So, the 18 inch bundle is the thickest. The 20 inch bundle falls in the middle. The 22 inch bundle is the thinnest. When I felt the thickness of each bundle, I didn’t really notice a difference there. BUT, I did notice that it seems like either there are a ton of shorter hairs mixed into the bundles, or there are a ton of split ends/flyaways in the hair. It just makes it look really unhealthy. It does feel silky and soft, but doesn’t look it at all.<br /><br />This has a double weft, which is supposed to reduce shedding. I haven’t had any shedding at all with these, so that’s great!<br /><br />The product page said that this is 100% unprocessed Virgin hair. Unprocessed hair is also referred to as Virgin hair. They mean the same thing. Unprocessed hair is human hair that has NEVER been processed - no chemical, heat, etc. This means over the life of the hair it’s never been dyed, coloured, bleached, or heat treated. As a result, unprocessed hair is incredibly healthy. The hair is it’s natural color, which indicates it hasn’t been processed. To me, the hair doesn’t look that healthy. It feels smooth and soft. But the little hairs make it look so unhealthy. It honestly looks more like there’s some strands that are the right length but then they’re added with a bunch of different length strands to make the bundle. It doesn’t seem like they’re split ends. It seems like they’re just shorter hairs. Hopefully that makes sense.<br /><br />The product page also said this is Remy hair.<br /><br />When people talk about Remy and Non-Remy hair, it refers to the direction of the cuticles! The cuticle is the outer layer of the hair strand. It locks in moisture and provides strength. If you look at a cuticle under a microscope, it is not smooth. It grows kind of like a trunk of a palm tree with many overlapping layers. If the cuticles point in different directions, they catch, which causes hair to become tangled, broken (shedding), rough, and hard to manage. If there is no cuticle at all, then the hair will be thin, brittle, and dry.<br /><br />All Remy hair is unprocessed human hair (I know it can be confusing and I’ve seen lots of people confused by Remy hair. I’ve even seen some people in reviews saying that the hair is Remy hair not human hair, but Remy hair is human hair). Remy hair means the hair was collected in a way that kept the cuticles intact and aligned in one direction. Meaning that it's very healthy, soft, shiny, and ultimately very high in quality! True remy hair is considered the best of the best. It’s 100% human hair, which usually comes from donors ranging from one single donor to a small few. Remy hair is gathered in one bunch. Keeping the gathered hair in bundles preserves the integrity of the cuticle with the hair laying in the same direction from root to end. This prevents tangling, matte, and provides natural movement. Remy hair is a smoother, shinier, and healthier appearance than NON-Remy. The hair will lay flat, have a healthy, shiny appearance, look smooth, and will be less likely to knot and tangle.<br /><br />To me, this doesn’t seem like Remy hair at all. Like I said, it seems like it has some hairs that are the right length, but then they’re mixed together with a bunch of different length hairs to make the bundle. It doesn’t seem like it’s split ends. It seems like there’s just a bunch of different lengths in each bundle.
