Sorry I have taken forever to share my hair. I have been super busy.

I am sooo pleased with my new Mongolian Kinky Curly weave. It definitely mimics my hair texture. This hair is in 24 inches!!! I love LONG curly hair!! I was immediately attracted to this hair when I saw videos on Youtube. The hair was just amazing. The hair is by ONYChair.com

As soon as I took it out of the uber cute packaging, I fell in love with the hair.

So of course when I got the hair, I prepared the hair to be installed by washing it first and deep conditioning the hair. Remember, with weave, you have to treat it like your own hair! After all, it is human hair so take care of it.

I decided to color the hair. I didn’t do the blonde that I wanted because I was afraid I would overprocess the hair because I am not a stylist and I definitely don’t know what I am doing…So I opted to do each bundle a different shade of brown. The two colors turned out beautiful to me.

Since I didn’t do the blonde shade, I ended up putting a rinse on my leave out so it can match the brown of the hair. I’m so not used to dark hair, but I like it.

So originally I got the weave done and it was double tracked instead of single (therefore I ran out of the hair much faster), so I took the hair out and….re-installed it myself…I know, sounds crazy right? I actually went to the beauty supply store, bought a curved needle and some black thread and went to work. I had never sewn hair in before, but while I was doing it, my boyfriend says “Hey! You know how to sew in hair! It looks good babe!” lol. I don’t know if he was just trying to make me feel good because I was in a time crunch (after waiting 3 hours at a salon to get it re-sewn in ..ugghh!!). I had somewhere to be so with the cornrows in my head and my leave out…I had no choice but to either sew it in myself or take out the braids and be back at square one. So I said “Why not?”

I am by no means saying I did a great job sewing in…but I think it looks good for my first time. So on to the pics…This is my go to style:

I absolutely love this hair. There are so many things I can do with the hair. To top it off, the hair has very minimal shedding. I maybe have had like literally a strand or two when washing or combing out. I have had similar hair from a different brand and it was just all over the place. I am SOOOOO happy (and my boyfriend is too) that this hair isn’t shedding and all over the house lol.

I will be back to share different hairstyles and even roller setting, etc…I will keep this in for a month and will also be doing product reviews with this hair :-)

What do you think?

  3. LexiWithTheCurls August 14, 2011 at 4:26 pm -

    Very nice! How many bundles did you use?

  5. LexiWithTheCurls August 14, 2011 at 6:32 pm -

    Thanks. 2 bundles. I split the wefts for a couple of the tracks

  6. Dawn August 15, 2011 at 1:56 pm -

    I love the color, it looks so natural. I’m thinking about coloring my hair, so I was wondering what colors did you use and how did you place the different colored wefts to achieve this look? I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

    hey!

    how true to length is the hair or how much shrinkage do you get b/c i want long & big but im only 5’1 and i don’t want it to overpower me lol

  8. LexiWithTheCurls August 15, 2011 at 4:50 pm -

    Hi TawanaNicole, I don’t really know. I know most curly hair is measured in its straight stage. This actually didn’t shrink up much. I have seen some hair that will start at 20 and up up at 14 or 12…But this hair didn’t shrink much.. I will measure when I get home because I small piece left.

    Your hair looks great, what colors and brand did you use to dye the hair.

  10. Luvin85 August 17, 2011 at 11:43 am -

    Did you insert the weave yourself or did you go to a professional? Not sure where you are located but would you have any recommendations in the NYC/NJ area? Also is this a full head of weave? What type is it..just wondering how I would explain this look/style to a professional…

  11. LexiWithTheCurls August 17, 2011 at 12:06 pm -

    I installed the weave myself, but I didn’t braid my hair. I originally went to a shop to get it done but they double tracked it and I ran out of hair too quick, so I took it out and reinstalled myself single tracking. I also split the wefts for the top tracks.. I am ATL based. Sorry I don’t have any recommendations for NYC/NJ. This isn’t a full weave. It is a partial. I have a horseshoe out and perimeter out.

  12. Miami August 18, 2011 at 12:52 pm -

    What colors did you use and from which brand and also which type? •Mongolian Kinky 3B-3C or the Mongolian Tight Kinky 3C-4A? Looks great!!! Thanks

  18. Meagan January 20, 2012 at 1:28 pm -

    You bought just one pack ? & How many bundles did you use out of what was in the pack ?

  19. LexiWithTheCurls January 20, 2012 at 1:38 pm -

    2 bundles.

  20. yanique January 24, 2012 at 11:28 pm -

    what product did you use to dye the hair? and what length is that hair?

  21. Kendra May 20, 2012 at 7:41 pm -

    This is beautiful. I was hoping to get a curly weave sew in. Im thinking I would have to get my whole head braided down because I don’t have naturally curly hair.

  22. Trish242 May 27, 2012 at 3:35 pm -

    Hey,
    I have been reviewing this hair for sometime. I am scared to buy it because I am afraid it will be a waste of money even though I have read many great reviews. I was wondering how the hair has held up for you so far? I have heard some people say that shedding was a huge issue. Did you have this problem? Or any others? Thanks so much!

  26. LexiWithTheCurls September 10, 2012 at 8:32 pm -

    I didn’t have any problem with excessive shedding. It did shed very little, just like our own hair does, but it was minimal. I have had kinky hair that has shed really bad and hair was all over my hair. This hair was NOT like that at all.

  27. Jay February 26, 2013 at 4:57 pm -

    Hey so did 2 bundles already come in the package or would i have to buy two?

  28. LexiWithTheCurls March 3, 2013 at 5:02 pm -
