Best hair for sew in. Any suggestions???

Kinky4Agirl · Feb 12, 2013

Hello ladies,
I have decided to get a sew in this weekend and I want to get hair that doesn't shed easily or tangle. which hair should I buy from the BSS?

yaya24 · Feb 12, 2013

What look are you going for?
(This might help with suggestions)

Kinky4Agirl · Feb 12, 2013

you are right yaya24, going for the straight look with a part down the middle.

Kinky4Agirl · Feb 12, 2013

Anyone have any ideas?

DaiseeDay · Feb 12, 2013

Are you gonna have any of your hair left out? If so is it Relaxed? Natural? And are you willing to straighten it?

I'm not a weave expert, but im sure those answers will help as well.

You need to provide a bit more information to get specific recommendations IMO. The questions Daisee asked and if also to add:

How long do you want it to be? What's your budget? How long do you plan to wear the sew in?

I used Black Diamond by Bohyme for my sew ins and they last 8 weeks, washing every 2 weeks. Beautiful hair.

I've heard good things about Bohyme and have had the Brazillian which was nice. Bohyme is a little pricier than typical BSS hair though.

Ladies I have straight relaxed hair. I want to buy hair that is straight, shoulder length, and very minimal shedding and tangling. Will have a part down the middle of my head and just above my shoulders.

BGT, where do you find your Bohyme and how much is it?

BGT · Feb 13, 2013

I got it at a local BSS. It was either $50/pack or $80/pack. I don't remember :lol:

I got 2 packs and she used 1.5 packs I believe. Color #2, 12 inches. She left the the edges and the crown out and added one small tract to the bang.

Kinky4Agirl · Feb 13, 2013

Thanks for the pictures. Your hair looks beautiful! I think I might try to find some today.

instead of paying 40-50 a pack for bss hair why not take the plunge and buy more expensive hair that will last you a whole year? onyc hair is expensive but beautiful and can be found online. you only need 8oz and if your hair is going to be layered then you can get a pack each of 10-12inch, 14inch-16inch, or 16-18inch. also with more expensiver hair they give hair thats slightly longer so it would likely be 2-3 inches longer than what you requested.

here's a link:

the woman who owns this company is nigerian. you can do a yt search on them as well there are tons of reviews. i plan on ordering hair from here to have a few wigs made.

Loved loved loved my Bohyme (forgot how to spell it!) it was $80/pack and I got 1.5 packs. Lasted well over 1.5 with good maintenance.

This is no BSS hair but its great quality and prices. I ordered 3 bundles of the virgin Brazilian natural wave on a Tuesday and got it on Thursday the site is lacexclusive.com

It lasted 1.5 months? Or years?

ThatJerseyGirl · Feb 14, 2013

Kinky4Agirl - www.extensions-plus.com. I stand behind this brand. It is the best, and you can reuse the hair. Based on my experience, the relaxed permed straight is the way to go. Their hair is the best investment ever.

Or

Go to www.hisandher.com. I use to use them before I founf EP. I use to rock their French Refined in 50% mink. No sheds or tangles with both brands.

Good luck.

1.5 years. Accidentally left off years. Great hair, can't recommend it enough.

Bumping.

I'm looking for hair that would look like relaxed 4B/C hair. Any suggestions?

Kinky4Agirl · Aug 2, 2015

Hi pinkness27, I went online like the ladies said here and I purchased hair from extensions plus.com and it looks just like relaxed Africa American hair. I haven't received it yet but I paid $ 178.00 for two bundles..

Smiley79 · Aug 3, 2015

If you're looking for basic BSS hair in the pack, specifically straight hair...I always vouch for Sensual Mink Yaki in the Gold Pack. That's my hands down fave.
As for the Remy and Virgin hair, I just order online and don't bother with the BSS because their prices are too high.

In your opinion is 2 bundles enough for a full look?

PureSilver · Aug 3, 2015

Subbing for future reference. Thanks ladies for the recommendations

What lengths did you purchase?

pinkness27 · Aug 3, 2015

@Kinky4Agirl the color I want is sold out :cry3:

in both of the lengths I want.

That is a good deal you got. Do they have a bundle deal? It seemed like for one bundle it was starting at $178

@Smiley79 I found a website that is selling 16 inch for $40. Is that standard price or would I get a better deal going into a BSS? ETA: Nevermind! The website ended up sending me a 15% off code. I purchased the hair.

You got a good deal! My local BSS charges almost $60 for the 16 inch.
