http://www.russianhair.net/ will have to chime in here to give you the specifics, but I can tell you that a custom-width weft that was 14" wide and 12" long weighed .9 oz. I wear about 4 oz., so for me, four wefts is just enough hair.

I'm now in my 10th week with my first batch of Russian hair and it has just as much body and shine as it did when I opened up that tissue paper wrapper and beheld its beauty the first time. You really can't imagine until you've worn this hair how truly amazing it is! I probably run my fingers through my hair a hundred times a day (no exaggeration) just to feel it.

As long as you treat the wefts carefully I believe this hair will last years. At first I went through a complicated blow-drying and styling ritual with it because I that's what I was used to with the Indian hair I'd worn. Then I realized that it is incredible just air dried. Nothing more. The straight texture does this little flippy thing at the ends that looks like I spent a half-hour with a blow-dryer and curling iron. It even looks amazing when it is filthy dirty! I mostly just wake up in the morning and give it a brush and I'm good to go. No kidding! And the wefts are tiny and tight and flat-laying, making my installs unnoticeable and so comfortable.

Thanks you are so fast.

I think i get it but didn't you get your custom made ?
and I think I would need like only 11 in wide from front of ear to front of ear sort of thing
and I want like 18in long,
But I don't think I am gettin it -? Rolling Eyes

you wear 4oz but its 9oz a weft?
So 1 weft you had made is 9oz in weight ?

Sorry I think I am tired Rolling Eyes

ok maybe people from http://www.russianhair.net/ will set me straight Confused

But I only want to wear 1 weft so I think I would have to have this specially made ?
Like I may have to buy bulk hair ? and Say I want this all on 1 weft I wonder if they do that anyway's thanks so so much.. I am sure I will get lot of wonderful info tomorrow.. Thanks so so much Cool

OK, I've had this Russian hair in for about 20 hours. YES HAIR PICS IS COMING however I've had few technical difficulties (explained below. . .)

1) I've worn extension hair for *years* and have never EVER experienced anything like this. The Indian and Asian hairs are simply heavier, and, as such, have a flattening effect on my otherwise fuzzy-ish hair. This has been good but has usually presented a blending issue.

2) The lightness of the Russian hair is AWESOME. It's weightless it seems. You DO NOT FEEL like you're wearing extensions. There are many advantages of this: First, you also get a LOT of volume with much less hair. I have maybe 2 oz. of Russian hair in. I mixed it with some ... (bottom layer) because i wasn't sure about the girl who was doing the install. Once I was OK with her we started with the Russian. Second, you get much less pulling on your hair, regardless of install technique, becaue this hair just DOESN'T pull or weigh down the attachment.

3) BABY THIS HAIR IS VIRGIN with cuticles fully intact. Here's how I know. It is EXTREMELY INTOLERANT of fold-over. This is exactly how cuticle hair should behave. My girl folded over some pieces a bit too much and I've got to get those redone because I'm having a riding up problem as the hair rubs against itself. (My installer hadn't done pinchbraids before so we were focusing on that, and neglected to cut the tails short like they need to be.) So unfortunately I have a lot of puffiness wherever the tail is too long on the pinch braid. WOOPS!

4) Having said that you need to re-think your install strategy. Blending will be *much much less* of an issue. MUCH LESS. As in, no blending. Hardly any issues with that blunt-at-the-bottom look from cutting. My hair is very fine but not silky thanks to my coloring exploits which I plan on continuing. Nothing about this hair looks added, or fake, which I'm trying to decide whether or not I like Wink

. I'm not exactly what you'd call a natural gal. LOL.

Pics to come later today.

Thanks for your review, ... . I think you described the differences between Russian and some other kinds of extension hair perfectly. The weightless aspect is the part I've had the hardest time describing. The word I keep coming up with is "fluffy." Because of the fluffiness of the hair, it gives a lot more volume and "bounce" even with much less extension hair.

Yes, you can sure tell the cuticle is intact because, like your own hair, if it rubs against itself it will bunch and tangle. And yes, you can pretty much put this hair in and not worry about blending because the texture is so much more like Caucasian hair. It is as if you grew a thicker, healthier head of your own hair.

For me, I've always worked to get the most natural look possible, so the Russian hair is perfect. I know that some women want to achieve a 'fantasy hair' look with extensions. I think the Russian can pull this off as well, but would require putting in a few more ounces to make it look outrageous.

I thank the Universe for Evil Incarnate every time I look in the mirror or brush my hair these days! And yes, I am powerless. Razz

You guys are scaring me. Will I ever be able to go back to Bohyme if I purchase this Russian hair? I have so much Bohyme lying around. Confused

OK, I don't even know if words are even needed with these comparisons but I know there's been a lot of questions about the weft/density between these two. I would like to point out (and you can very well see), the Bohyme weft has a thick beard. You can see more density around the weft due to the beard coming over on the other side. As soon as the beard ends, look how the density of the hair falls to half or less. With the Russian hair from http://www.russianhair.net/, you can see you don't lose density and the volume of hair through the length is all right there.

WOW! That's significant!! Perhaps Bohyme can step it up? Since they raised their prices?

Unfortunately I'm living that reality right now. I've got two rows of the Bohyme installed on the bottom of my hair and the rest is russian so I'm sporting a fairly major mullet. It's kinda funny, after all these installs and all my supposed expertise. Anyway I'm going back to my gal today to see if we can fix things a bit. .

..., did you do pinch braids in your current install?

Yes! I trained a new gal - a little Cameroonian expert braider - she did modified microbraids and I showed her how to do it with the string to tie it off. Voila one AMAZING headful of little Pinchbraids!!

Apparently you are the devil

I love your ..., will be emailing you about the colour lifted asian soon, but I can't currently afford http://www.russianhair.net/ gold

(I'm also wondering about blending the two types

)

Did you curl that hair or is it naturally wavy like that? I hope mine looks like that!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Joined: 27 Apr 2007 Posts: 480

That's washed, air dry and a quick curl with an iron.
