! I couldn't agree more!

I appreciate simple, easy to navigate sights. I don't like a lot of 'fluff'...such as websites that use every font color available and squeeze all this info/graphics randomly onto one page(instead of using links on the side of the page)...when there's too much busy-ness on the page, they lose me, and like ... said, by then I couldn't give a **** about the product laughing

Yes, unfortunately a lot of business owners don't realize how much competition has changed due to the availibility of the internet 24/7. Also today its so easy to set up a small biz on the web, costs very few bucks and you can find free programmes, designs and everything you need. Use paypal and then 'Bob's your uncle'.

Which leeds on to the next important thing: Customer service. A lot of people are willing to pay a little bit more for their purchases if the customer service is good. I am one of those people. I hate when you email a company and they take days to respond, if they even bother!
I tried this many times and it sucks...

One time I found a place with some great looking phony ponys, and I asked them to send a colour chart. They never replied. Six months later I received a newsletter from them stating how many wonderful things they had to offer me. Huh? You want to sell something? Start by replying when I email you. Evil or Very Mad

I'm a little on the fence here. I like both. I don't think your web site looks 'cheap' at all. I think it's easy to navigate, easy to use and I think your photos demonstrate(as well as any pic can) the quality of your hair. That being said, I think people are so used to seeing so much 'marketing' thrown at them, that when it isn't a wrong conclusion could be drawn. I think in this age of internet and info-mercials that we are so used to being bombarded with 'why you must have this'.

But, at the end of the day, just because you put Mr. Hanky in a pretty box with a bow, it's still a peice of ****....(did you get the south park reference? Laughing

Thanks a million, Ladies! All of what you saying makes perfect sence. I have an experience of my own buying the most horrible products from super fancy websites. So far mine works great. I actually would prefer it to work a litle slower. Laughing

I got another funny comment about my website. One girl said that by looking at my site she has no doubt that the hair we sell is 100% Russian. Laughing

Are we Russians that bad and noticable? LOL Twisted Evil

That's funny about that one woman's comment... I thought the same thing when I looked at your site the first times. I'm not sure what it was about your site that led me to believe your hair was 'the real deal' but I was definitely left with that impression. I'm thinking it may be because it is crammed with information and pictures, but has very little 'hype' about the hair. Your site says, "I've got Russian hair, yes, it's beautiful, and if you have the bucks you can buy some." No fancy bells and whistles because they're not needed to sell the hair.

One thing I've learned from you, is that if a vendor is truly selling Russian hair, he or she doesn't need my business. There isn't a lot of that hair available and there are lots of people wanting to buy it. Any true Russian hair vendor is doing me a favor buy selling his/her hair to me. Because of this, a true Russian hair site doesn't need anything but accurate information about the hair being sold there. Even if a site were hard to use and the vendor a jerk, a lot of us would still whore for our Russian hair. You get gravy with / because it is an easy site to navigate and the vendor is such a sweetie.

Well, she was just joking. It was very nice to speak with you on the phone.
Thanks a lot for letting me post all these posts and pictures from your site. These conversations will help people to figure their extensions needs.

Your install looks beautiful. Laughing

Does any of you have experience with the lifespan of russian hair?
In my case I would probably henna it every 1-2 months, but wouldn't use any chemical hair dye. I would only straighten or curl it on occasions, say a few times a month, most days I would scrunch and go.

Could it last more than 2 years if I treated it as above?

I haven't had a chance to wear any of mine for a year or more yet because I'm always going for longer hair. I've worn several wefts that I've colored 2 or 3 times (deposit only with 10 V. developer) for six months or more and the hair and wefts are like new. I'm guessing with the wear I put on my Russian hair the hair and wefts could last 18 months, at least.

Hi ...,

Could I ask how often you iron or curl the hair and if you have coloured it? Does it still seem new? Do you feel that it needs less products, like serum, to look good?
And Finally if you had to make a guesstimate, how long do you think it would last if you wore it everyday with the daily routine you have?

Yeah, I'm sure you're right about the russian hair being addictive. Razz

I'm just trying to find out how the cost of russian hair compares to cheaper brands like ..., ... and others. I think I've read that the wear time for ... is around 3-5 months depending on the person and I guess it's around the same for the other cheaper brands?

hi- ask away-!
i wash it about 2 times a week. i either flat iron or curl it every day or so- sometimes i just hit the ends with curl iron-
i do not color it- i ordered it in the exact color i wanted. i do however use every other week a conditioner by redken- PEARL to keep the blonde the beige tone i want, this stuff works the best i have ever found to keep gold tones out. the blonde i have is color 613 or 22 and i like it a bit beiger so the conditioner works great- i also use it on my natural hair.
the products i use are KMS- the flat out cream and everyone other time i wash and dry it i also thorw in with the flat out cream their shine serum its an oil and can be used as a cocktail with something else, or just by itself.
i would guesstimate that this hair will last me at least another 8 months- there has been Minimal shedding and the hair really does last and wear long. it has been in my head since august-
i am not the most gentle one when it comes to hair because i really do like to see just how it holds up. i brush it three times a day- morning, sometimes in middle of day and at nite when i put it in a pony tail- thats it,
far as it feeling new, once i put in the KMS shine serum, it feels brand new and silky.
i use alot of hair spray on the ends after i curl or straighten and it still feels good.
all in all i would DEFF reccommend it and i would also get it again for myself.

Wow, that sure sounds great ... . So close to 1½ years is not unrealistic then? I have a feeling that russian hair might actually be cheaper in the long run compared to ... and other similar brands and especially if you buy a whole kilo. Do you think I'm right ... - are you saving $$ wearing russian?

... tends to shed alot more then russian.
remember to use exact measurments when ordering it wefted, it cannot be cut without worrying if it will inravel, i do know some of the girls do cut it and seal it and it doesnt unravel, i myself havent done that.
i like to leave it intact.
i would say- if you like to change your hair often then spending alot of money on hair really is your call, but myself, i dont change it but once or twice a year, i get attached to my hair,,..lol and i like the style and dont feel like messing with changing it too much.
so for me, its well worth the money and look i get,....
i am all about quality.

..., the other issue you'll need to look at -- if you're planning on using an individual method of installation, you will experience more shedding and hair loss. ..., ..., and I are all wearing http://www.russianhair.net/ hair in micro-wefts made by his wefter. When I was using http://www.russianhair.net/ bulk ponytails with ... bonds, I had much more shedding. I don't think there would have been any way for the same hair to be worn 18 months, not because the hair itself wouldn't last but because the individual bonds shed more and you tend to lose hair and some length over time in takedowns and reinstalls with them.

I do believe that if you were wanting to wear the same hair continuously for 18 months it would need to be wefted, and wefted sturdily.

..., the russian hair has such a good different feel from any of the cheaper (and cheapO) hairs that ive worn....the big difference is that it STAYS feeling sleek and slick and never bunchy frizzy or matted...i have no doubt that the hair will stay great for months nearing a year or more

if you use it wefted, you'd need to take care not to damage the weft either by your removal process or your instillation method

also (from my personal experience), the russian hair IS cheaper in the long run because you wouldnt need to buy more for several months as you continuously reuse what you have.....but that is IN THEORY, because i suck! i'm always wanting to change and try different things...buying russian hair AND all sorts of other hairs and making tweaks to your color mix so you have to buy different shades of hair to add in, and suddenly deciding one day you want straight hair, and then you need french refined!!! gaaahhhh!!!

my point, its a savings if you are going to ONLY use that hair......but i'd say the biggest bonus of wearing it for me was there was never a day that i came home with a big ball that would take a half hour to comb or cut out

I just took a couple of pictures of my Russian hair that I'm ready to re-install. It has been worn four months continuously.

Here is a close-up of the wefts. These have been through three installs with Supertape and Liquid Gold and they're holding up beautifully!
