Bobbi Boss Virgin Indi Remy Weaving Hair





I purchased this hair from my local beauty supply store. I received this hair in colors #1. 100% virgin indian remy hair. Length is 14". I started wearing this hair late winter 2009. With continuous wear, this hair lasted about a month in a half with great hair care (Though I had it reinstalled a few months later, as it was still in very good condition). If you are someone who wears weaves for long periods of time, this hair is perfect for you, but keep in mind, that proper hair care is the key to longevity.

Pros: Last's a long time, very minimal shedding, outstanding quality, very soft, 100% worth every penny.

Cons: Gets very stiff after too many washes, the longer the hair is, the more you can expect tangling.
