    Default best brand of hair to buy for sew in extensions

    im not happy with the kind i have...

    update: i took my extensions out about a week after getting them. (once i washed them, they were not shiny any more, and my head was hurting) So for the time being i am wearing my hair naturally. but this thread might be helpful to others )

    Yup yup I use indian hair for everything except wigs cause a good indian lacefront cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars so yeah... lol Try indian remy and ask the store clerk what products you can buy to take care of it. They're always coming out with cool stuff to help protect it.

    I think Indi Remy is really good. It comes in a turquoise and black box, not pricey and still super soft after months.

    Another vote for Indian Remy...I've always received the most compliments with Remy hair and most people assume it is my very own when I wear it! I've heard Malaysian hair is nice as well and have seen it on a few people, but I still prefer Remy.

    Do you buy it online or in a shop? I need new hair and I want killer hair that looks really good, can be pricey but it has to be really good..

    Im also rocking the Bohyme. 20' Brazillian Wave. Its so beautiful and lightweight. Like I have a cloud for hair. You should also look into Luxury brands like Wagmans and Laniks. Expensive but that crap looks G O O D and lasts.

    Ah so I asked my stylist and she said bohyme hair is shit compared to Indian hair. I must say I have to agree. I made the comparison at the store yesterday and I'll take Indian Remy over it anyday. I just don't see how it's better at all.

    LOL. I can't believe your stylist said this! Bohyme is definitely not shit, and also it depends on what brand of Indian Remy hair you are comparing it too. They're totally different. Indian hair is coarser and thicker, so it will match better to certain hair types. Even though it says Remy virgin untouched hair, it has been processed, and how/to what extent totally depends on the brand. Sometimes they coat the hell out of the hair in silicone, so it feels really nice, but turns to crap after you wash it a couple of times. For example, I think that Lord and Cliff Indian hair is complete crap and Bohyme is better, but I'm sure there are much better higher quality Indian Remy hair brands out there. My natural hair is very fine and silky, so I could not get Indian hair. I actually prefer Scandanavian hair, the texture is a better match for me. I'm not sure what type of Remy hair Bohyme is, but I do like it, although the silky straight hair is almost too straight.

    My natural hair IS coarse and thick. when I wear Indian hair it looks good, very natural and lasts quite a while. I have never tried bohyme hair but I compared it to Indian Remy and I wouldn't quit Indian hair for Bohyme ..nope! My stylist's comment was "You can't compare anything to Indian Remy hair. It's #1..Don't use bohyme". She's Ethiopian and she does an extremely good job each and every time so I'll have to trust her on this one.

    I don't see how you can say you don't see how its supposed
    To be better... by you touching the weave and feeling the texture
    That don't mean shit... its about the longevity... it's plenty of cheap
    Ass hair that feel better than expensive hair... however after you
    Wash it the true. Quality shows.. you will never know how bohyme
    Really is til you try it... I had my hair for 5.5 months now...
    sum people differ in opinion but honestly I really know about hair
    Ive been weave for 10 yrs since bout 12... I know my shit..
    but I say try it b4 critiquing... then state a opinion..

    I've been told by several stylist at high end salons, that Bohyme is the highest quality hair. It's really shiny and it last for months.

    Why the attitude? You're getting defensive over the kind of weave I choose to wear? Indian hair is fantastic quality and not what I would call cheap.. I love it! If Bohyme hair works for you then that's great!. Indian Remy works just fine and matches my hair exactly. Great that you "know your shit" but you're not my stylist. I prefer to go buy what she says. My hair never looks anything less than FAB.. so to me .. she's a keeper.

    I will try Bohyme hair one day but not now
    Just FYI I'm currently rocking Indian Remy Lace fronts.. these cost about $499 22in 4b/30. I'm very happy with them.

    I also go to a very high end salon.. If that's what they say then awesome .. I trust my stylist's opinion when it comes to my hair.
