Review (1/5): This Hair Stinks!!!
I recently purchased kinky straight hair from this company through Amazon. I’ve had it installed for almost two weeks and there are a lot of things I like about it. The hair does not tangle AT ALL, there is minimal shedding, and I love the versatility of the micro loop installment method. However, there are a few problems with this particular hair that are absolute deal-breakers for me and are the reasons for the 1 star review.
First, the hair does not straighten well and I have only been able to fully remove the kinky pattern by using much higher heat than should be necessary. Second, exposure to even slight humidity or sweat causes it to immediately revert back to its kinky texture. Third, and more importantly, the hair emits an absolutely nauseating smell even when the lowest heat is applied. I’m not talking about the mild to moderate “weave hair” smell that usually dissipates after a few washes. This is an extremely strong smell of barn yard animals mixed with cigarette butts. It is beyond disgusting.
I have saturated the hair in apple cider vinegar, thoroughly washed it, and applied numerous products in an attempt to remove or at least mask the smell. Nothing works! I will try a couple more stench removal hacks today that I found on YouTube. If they fail, I will have to remove this hair because I can’t stand the thought of having to smell this hair for several more weeks…or the embarrassment of being smelled by others.
I suspect the smell is a result of whatever chemical process this company is using to obtain a kinky pattern on naturally straight hair. What a shame because this hair has some great qualities. Unfortunately, this horrendous smell is a dealbreaker!!!
