Hey, hey!!
So I finally bought my Virgin Brazilian hair! I've had it for about 3 weeks now and I
really like it! I've never had hair so soft before! lol. You all know that I'm use
to my yaky hair! But sometimes change is good, right!?
I purchased
the Virgin Brazilian body wave from runwayriches.com. I bought three bundles ( 16",
16", 18"), but I only used two (16", 18"). I wasn’t sure of the thickness of
the weft, so I bought three to be on the safe side.
Before
installment, I co-washed the bundles with Herbal Essence hydration conditioner.
I used an empty dish bin, filled it with warm water, then poured a generous
amount of conditioner into the water.
I sat each bundle in and soaked them for 5 minutes. After I soaked the bundles
I laid them out on a towel. Due to the instructions listed on the site, I did
not blow dry the hair. When installing the hair it was still a bit damp, but
about time my sister was done sewing in the hair, it was dried.
This is the one of the brands that
runwayriches.com recommended for washing and conditioning the hair.
I did get a
relaxer on just my leave out (my top and sides). I’m sorry but my African hair was
not going to blend in with this Brazilian hair if I did not relax it! Lol! It
actually blended quite well. I was nervous about that because the weave hair
did appear to be lighter than expected, but my amazing sister worked that out
for me!
When it
comes to weaves I’m not big on using a lot of products. So with this hair I have
used one product and that is argan oil by One ‘N Only. I got it from Sally’s
Beauty Supply for about $4 (small bottle). When using the argan oil use a small
amount, it can go a long way.
Joyce’s Pros
and Cons
Pros
-Very soft
-Very
minimal to no shedding!
-Does Not
Tangle
-Easy to
wash
-Styles very
well
-Doesn’t
really get straight. (I like versatility, so not being able to get the hair straight
the way I wanted was a disappointment.)
-Frizz (The
hair can get a little frizzy, especially after a wash. The argan oil really
helps with frizz.)
These are
the styles I have worn so far!!
Flexi Rods
Straightened/ Flat ironed
Fresh wash, air dried
Curled with a 1 1/2 in curling iron
I know quite
a few people who are opposed to purchasing this hair because they think that it
is too expensive, but I like to think of it
as an investment! You are going to spend the same amount on buying hair by the
end of year just by buying it every time you get your hair done. With this hair
you are able to wash it, color it, bleach it or make your own wigs! Remember
most hair companies set different sales for the week or month, or payment plans
just to make the hair more affordable for anyone!!
