Where can I find shiny textured hair??

[MissFrankie]

Hi

I hope I've posted this in the right place but does anyone know where I can find shiny hair?

I know BuyHair has it and their item description whether it Shiny or Matt but I can't find anywhere else that does this. I really don't like the feel on matt hair and I find it always looks dull and icky.

If anyone knows anywhere else I can get shiny hair from or somewhere that mentioned it's texture in the description can you please point me in that direction!!

Thanks

Hi, all the lexy brand hair that diversity hair stocks is pretty shiny, and she has some lovely colours too! Also she ships quick, and is lovely to boot!

Thanks. What's it like to work with? Is it a pain to seal. I once bought this Sky Blue Jumbo braid off eBay and it was horrible, like a grey and wouldn't back comb or seal and felt really nasty to touch. I fear Matt hair these days.

Also, I am in the UK so is the shipping affordable? xx

Jenna (diversity hair) is in the UK

Thanks ladies!!

What's the hair like to work with? I'm after White and Turquoise xx

You could ask Jenna IDK myself cos I don't use synth.

IKickShins "Specialty Colors" are all shiny .
( Same manufacturer as buyhair I think )


The colors with the little pink "S" are the shiny colors

I can't really afford the shipping for IKS atm. Their colours are amazing though.

I'm defenatly interested in some hair from Diversity. I think I'd like the Alpine White, Turquoise and I'd also like to know the texture of the Sky Blue.

Is Jenna on this Forum? If she is do you think you could give me her user name so I could send her a quick PM or something?

I have used the snow white and the turquoise from diversity hair (lexy brand) and they are a little tough to backcomb because they are so shiny, but they seal fine, but again it's quite hard to get a decent grip on them to twist enough whilst steaming. Persevere and you can make lovely dreads

A bit like the Light Pink from BuyHair then. So silky and smooth and ANNOYING, but I really liked the look when it was finished

Have you used the Baby Blue at all? I think it's Jazzy though, not lexy. If it's matt I think I'll go for another colour. Perhaps the purple. All these colours do look delicious and shiny!

TBH I prefer matt hair, but each to their own

The jazzy baby blue is matt Im afraid, lovely to work with though!

Most Jazzy branded hair isn't completely matt. It's a little bit shiny, but not as much as buyhair and doesn't come with any of the problems associated.

However if I remember correctly baby blue is completely matt.

RastaAfri is a bit shiny -- not quite as much as BuyHair/Lexy, but it's definitely shinier than most other kk. I don't know if any companies outside the US carry it, though.

[MissFrankie]

I think I may go for the purple, turquoise and white then.

Maybe I've just had bad luck with matt colours.. There isn't a section on this forum where people review colours from certain brands is there? If so can you point me in that direction.

Thanks again girlies. You've all been such a fantastic help. I <3 this forum so much

Awesome! I'll have a nose through at soon. I know I defenatly hate BuyHair's Fantasy Rose. Blergh!

Hair is ordered and payed for. Thanks for all the help ladies! I look forward to making this set and I'll be sure to post pics in the critque section when they're done.

Thanks again :) xx
