HairFinity Journey

So, Ive FINALLY started my Hairfinity Journey! I am super excited to see the growth that I will obtain if any! I purchased a 6 month supply on HairFinity's website! I will be updating this blog post periodically as my hair grows! I will also let you all know if I run into any problems with the product!

What the pill looks like?

The pill is your typical silicone/gel coated horseshoe capsule. Easy to swollow because it doesn't dissolve on the tongue right away plus being coated. The pill is quite big like your typical daily multi vitamin! Here is a photo of the pill in my hand.

As far as Side Effects, I have experienced anything but the obvious which was a bit more shedding than usual. However, my shedding has minimized since I started my Garlic/Olive Oil pre-poo and Black Tea Rinse regimen. Since then the shedding has subsided and my hair is growing out even better! For tips on shedding, check out my YouTube Video On Shedding!

So, Here are photos of my hair growth Journey! I will be updating each month, so come back often!

Classy Signature Virgin Malaysian Remi French Wave Weave

This hair was purchased from divatress.com This hair is 100% Virgin Malaysian Remi weaving hair in the style french wave, which is similar to a loose deep wave pattern. I picked up this hair in a color #2 which is a natural brown color. I constructed a U Part wig using this hair (check out my video if you're interested in seeing how I made this wig) multiple lengths were used ranging from 12-14" and 14-16". 3.5 packages of hair were used to create my style.

This hair has a fairly simple grade of maintainance! All I do is comb the hair with a wide tooth comb, then spray with water to help revert the waves and tame the frizz. I did run into a issue with the ends being a bit dry and dead looking, but with the help of Google (Lol) I came to realize that the cuticles may be particially detached and/or facing in the oppisite direction. With a little argon moroccan oil, it can help fix that problem, I just ended up clipping the ends eventually.

Ive flat ironed a small section of the hair to see how well it will go straight, and I couldnt get it as straight as I wanted it to be, it was more like a loose body wave when I got done with it. I plan on buying some sort of silkening treatment and retry to get straight results. Ill be sure to post pictures of my results from that.

The wefts on this hair are pretty sturdy! So sturdy that I coundnt use a standard curved needle to go through the tracks, that basically ensured me that any shedding would be very minimal, which thus fan had proven a point other then first time uses with the hair.

So far Ive yet to wash the hair, as I didnt want to effect the overall apperance of the hair, I plan on washing it after I flat ironed the hair, to see how well the hair reverts back to its original wave pattern and overall texture.

Measurements:
12-14"-
14-16"-

Pros: Soft, easy managable, minimal shedding, strong health sheen, naturally reverts waves upon wetting, low maintainance.

Cons: Shedds a lot upon first time uses, tangles at nape, dead ends, may not be 100% virgin hair, frizzes after breifly combing.

Isis Collection Red Carpet Premier Yaky Weave

This weaving hair was sent to me to review from Isis Collection. I received this hair in a color number 1 and 1b. The length of this hair is 16-18" of layered, yaky straight human hair.

I used 2 full packs of hair to make an "U" Part wig unit, thus leaving my hair out around about the parting area.

I am extremely particular when it come to longevity and maintenance of hair, and I am very much pleased with the quality of this Isis Collection hair.
After using this hair to construct my U part wig, I begun wearing it, mid February. With great maintenance, co washes and hair care, this hair has lasted me approx 2 months of continuous wear. My recommendation is to try very hard to avoid getting product onto the hair other than holding spray, it can make the hair look stringy, clingy and dirty as with all extension hair. Also, 3 packs of hair is recommended if you desire a more "fuller" appearance.

Pros: Very soft, natural shine and luster, easy to untangle, minimal shedding to be expected, very flow-ee and has body and movement.

Cons: Does NOT hold a curl, the longer the hair, the thinner it becomes, noticed excessive pieces of colored thread through out the wefts.

All in all, my experience with this hair has been pretty good! The quality is much like remy hair, but reasonably priced. I would indeed recommend it!

Vivica Fox Lace Front Wig Olivia V

This wig was purchased from MimiBeautyLine.com
So, This wig is about 24" long with layers, very loose beach like wave. Very messy appearance. Futura fiber, so it can be curled at 300 degrees. Around 3" parting space.

So, this wig didn't last very long before it started tangling and matting together. Id say, all in all, it will last you around 2-3 weeks at the most. HOWEVER, this unit does have the "messy" look, so it is very easy to detect.

PROS: Very soft, true to color, nice fit, decent amount of parting space, nice density, full, pretty style.

CONS: Tangles a lot, mattes very badly at the nape, synthetic shine, hairline not the best, starts to look stringy after a while, lots of shedding, hair straigt around the hairline instead of wavy.

Freetress Invisible Part Lace Front Wig Vanessa

Purchased this unit from DivaTress

I have my unit in the color #1b. This unit is 100% futura fibers so it can be curled or straightened up to 400 degrees. The length is around 20-24", loose curl/wave at the top and spiral curls at the bottom. It also has lots of layering throughout the unit and bangs. About 3-4" of parting space in the designated area and around 2" of parting space ear to ear. The lace is the standard "hard" synthetic french lace with baby hair arounfd the perimeter. In the video, I didn't mention that this DOES come with the extra lace that needs to be cut off unlike some of the Invisible Part Series.
So, Ive been wearing this unit for some time now, and it is still in good condition! However, I do take excellent care of my units! I wore this on and off. If you are someone who wears your units often to everyday, this 'may' last you 2-3 weeks!

PROS: Very pretty style, good amount of parting space in area, snug fit, decent hairline, nice length and curls, no synthetic shine, didn't notice a lot of shedding, can be worn up, versitle.

CONS: Tangles a lot, curls will bunch together if not fingercombed regularly, mattes at nape, lace itchy, can't part anywhere only on the right side.

Will I purchase again? Sure, I really like this style a lot as well as the parting space! 

Beshe Drew Lace Front Wig

 

Purchased this unit from MiMiBeautyLine.comI have my wig in the color #2. The hairs length is around 10-12". Very full and thick. The texture is in a spiral/kinky curl which mimics natural hair. It has around 2" of parting space from ear to ear. The lace is made out of the standard "hard" synthetic french lace.
This unit didn't last very long. I havent worn it much, but because of manipulating the hair a lot, it is now extremely frizzy and unflattering.
I will have to say this wig will last you 2-4 weeks depending on the amount of manipulating you apply to the unit!

PROS: Very natural looking, light weight, looks like natural textured hair, full, snug fit, true to color, no synthetic shine, course texture.

CONS: Gets extremely frizzy, grows 5 times the regular size when manipulated, sheds, tangles, hairline unnatural, mattes at nape.

Will I purchase again: No, not my cup of tea! However very pretty!
