Review (3/5): UPDATE! Amount of Hair Back!
UPDATE! The Shrinking Packages of hair
BEFORE
In my last review, I commented that at the beginning, I was pleased with the price and that the amount of hair matched the pictures. Over time however, I found that:
1) the packaging changed from “factory original “ (like the clear plastic sleeves like you see braids come in) to ziplock bags (like you put your kid’s lunch in). Not cool, but not bad.
2) After the packaging change, I started to notice that each time I bought the hair, there was less and less hair in the little ziplock baggies. Definitely NOT cool and super BAD :-/
NOW!!!
Flyteng responded my review by suggesting I give them another try (no extra hair or admission of the skimping however). I did because the price was still great at a bit over 15 bucks and my hair did look really cute (for a little while at least- more later).
For the last three purchases, there has been more hair in the bags. V. Cool. Still in ziplocks though. Ratchet. The price has gone up close to 3 bucks, but at least the the amounts of hair are more consistent.
The Hair
It looks beautiful and natural for about a week. It’s soft and feels light and great. Something happens into the second week however and the hair starts to get hard and really nappy. Now full disclosure: when I install, I pull a lot of the coils apart. When I do this, it looks absolutely natural (I joined a Black Girl Magic Meet up - they ALL that it was mine and you know we know). Since I don’t mind nappy hair, it’s cool. I do have to cut the matted ends daily to not look like I haven’t been lost in the desert for a month, but again, I’m cool with that.
All in all, I would say that I will continue to use it as long as:
1) the price doesn’t continue to go up (might have to do with China tariffs - anybody else feeling this our hair products?).
2) they don’t start back skimping on the hair.
Happy Crocheting Y’all!!
