So, for the last 7 weeks and 2 installs, I've been wearing Bohyme Egyptian wave in 14" (which, since Bohyme is VERY generous with their length, looks like a 16"). At first, I was in love. The hair was absolutely gorgeous, soft, didn't tangle or mat, blended in with my natural hair beautifully....*SIGH* I was just completely enamored with this hair.
Now? OMG, LET ME TELLLLL YOU GIRRRL....
After the first wash, it still had some "act right". I used L'Oreal Ever Strong Sulfate Free shampoo, and did a deep treatment with Avanti Silicon Mix conditioner, left it on for about an hour or two, cool rinse, then sat under a hooded dryer for about an hour. It was still all good in the hood for this hair. LOL. Well, all that went out of the window after wash #2....
I used Organix Moroccan Argan oil shampoo (which is sulfate-free), Organix Brazilian Keratin conditioner, then another treatment with my Silicon Mix. I sat under the dryer. This time, WTF! It started tangling and matting. I can't brush this hair enough it seems. I've tried all kinds of things. I tried TheWeaveWhisperer's "weave revival" technique (which I'm sure works on better quality hair), I gave it a bleach bath (it started matting and tangling IN THE WATER!!!!!), gave it TWO deep treatments with Silicon Mix and placed it in the microwave for 45 seconds each (after removal of the first install), and let it air dry...nothing. It was definitely softer, and smelled REALLY good, but it was holding on strong to sucky status. I'm at my wit's end with this hair. I'm ready to toss it. I feel like I took $200 and set it on fire. I'm going to give it ONE MORE WEEK, mainly because the braiding pattern and the install I did is BOMB.COM (lol). I may take the hair out and just re-do the sewing portion with some new hair.
SMH. I had such high hopes for this hair, being that the BoBraz gave me a strong 5 months.
