Got my hurr did!!! The Peruvian Body Wave by Studio4HairATL is really nice! My stylist wanded the ends. I do have a little leave out in the front and the perimeter of my hair. I usually dont leave out any hair but decided to juat switch it up lol. I love it so far but will come back with a review in a couple days!

Took down my sew-in last night, reached full APL.... and got another one installed. Trying to make this one last 2 months. The braids were fine it was just the hair. So I need to be very careful with oiling my scalp as it makes the hair mat. But this hair feels great!

Already on install #2. Had the first one with a full perimeter leave out and that lasted 2 months. This install has the closure on it with just a tiny bit of leave out. I'm just a week into this one. Reused the bigchop hair and added a bundle I didn't use the first time. This hair is super durable and still maintains a good curl. I hope after another 2 months I can get another install out of this hair and make it to the spring/summer months leaving my hair under wraps

Hmmm...if you want cheap closure you can try aliexpress but they're hit or miss. Magic hair company ive tried b4 or genisis (however spelled) is good as well I've heard.
Aliexpress has been good to me with closures. Iseeing beauty is a good vendor but they come with slightly bleached knots.

Can you post a link to this vendor please
Ill see what I can do. My laptop has a virus and I dont think I can do it from my phone. You should be able to find the finder by searching on aliexpress. I have another vendor I recently bought a closure from as well. I cant remember the name but ill post a link as soon as I can figure out how.

Hey thanks but I found it. I just looked up YT videos on this vendor and went to link they had posted.
Yay! There arent many reviews but I only paid about $40 and it did last awhile.

hey Lou-
Can you tell me the hair type you purchased? I'm on the Senghori site and I'm not sure of the hair type you have.

Hey ladies!
How is everyone doing with their hair for the new year?
I finally made an appointment for a new sew-in next Friday. I'm getting kinky straight hair and I think I'm going to have her cut bangs and cover up my whole head, no leave out this time. My goal this year is to reach APL, and I think I need to just leave my hair alone until I get there. I have hand-in-hair syndrome, so these past 2-3 months without a sew-in, I'm sure I haven't made any progress at all.
musing about my regimen under the weave...
DC with cholesterol under the dryer 2x a week
wash with diluted shampoo after DC'ing
oil my scalp every other night
continue to work out, take my vitamins, drink water, and eat well
anyone have a good recommendation for a good straightening shampoo and conditioner set? I love kinky straight textures because they look real, but I struggle with getting them to act right. I need a shampoo/conditioner set that has really good smoothing properties.

try avedas smooth infusion line. most salons that carry aveda also sell the miniature versions so you dont have to commit to the larger and more expensive sizes if you dont like it.

Hey ladies!!
I've been meaning to come and give an update on the Peruvian Body Wave hair I got from Studio4HairATL. I love it! LOL! I haven't had any problems with shedding or tangling. I haven't really put any heat on the curls since installing, on Christmas Eve, just been setting it on flexirods at night and taking them down in the morning. This hair holds the curls well too for it being body wave hair, it's still curled on the ends now and I've only been putting it up in a ponytail at night these past couple of days (i've been lazy, lol). I will be washing it for the first time this weekend though, I think me trying to make sure my scalp was oiled and my leave out was oiled, it has moved to the hair, and I can tell the difference of hair that has too much oil on it. I think I'm going to dilute some shampoo to lightly wash it and I bought some of the OGX Argan Oil Conditioner today so that I can cowash. I also bought a wand curler the other day, so I'm going to play with that after my hair is dry!
I think I will def be ordering my hair from them from now on and I love that they are always having a sale!

Also, does anyone know if there is hair similar to senghori shells and extensions plus that will hold a curl???? I enjoyed both brands, but I am looking for my curls to last more than an hour! LOL...I purchased some hair from a former member years ago, that came from a chinese vendor...the texture was perfect - simiar to senghori and extensions plus, curled great, but then he went out of business! UGH!!!!

My next sew-in appointment is in 3 weeks and I can't wait! This time, I wont be as timid with the whole process as I was last time (last time being my first time with a full sew-in so I was extra cautious).
Me, too, but just a splash. I'm getting the Kerry Washington wavy hair look with bangs (though I may straighten it here and there for versatility's sake), and will add some brown high lights just like Kerry's. I think I'll keep the weave on for twice as long this go around (i.e. 12 weeks). I am seriously in a hair dump right now and just don't want to be bothered with styling and upkeep.
I also have a big forehead so this style is ideal for me. February 3rd can't come soon enough!

Where do you purchase your kinky hair?

MRJ1972 I'm recycling my old weft hair I used last time - Indique Relaxed straight from the Bounce Collection. I also have a closure from the same collection. I spent a lot of money for those three bundles + closure only for me to cut it down to 10-14 inches using 2 bundles and a closure, instead, (from its original 22, 22, 18, and 16 inch closure) for this shoulder length style.
I had really good results my first go around in this challenge and I know I can get to goal if I stick to it.
My dilemma is: to closure or not to closure?!!! I'm switching to ONYC kinky curly 3b 3c hair. I already have the hair but not the closure. I was waiting for a sale which didn't happen.
On one hand, I don't want to get all this growth then my leave out doesn't thrive then on the other hand I'm a sucker for realistic looking protective styles. I haven't met a closure I couldn't spot. I'm always distracted by them during conversations.
Any help you ladies can offer will be appreciated!!!

Protect that growth, girl! Kinky haired closures/weaves are harder to spot, anyway (compared to straight closures/weaves).
But, if you can blend your hair with the weave without leaving out too much hair, then foregoing a closure may be your best bet.
