? BEAUTIFUL HAIR ?Black Girl Q&A:1.) What is the texture?3C to 4B(Jheri Curl, Tight Spirals, and SOME Zigzag fro)When Wet: Hair = 3CI am a 3C when my hair is wet, some of that texture stays when dry. This Jheri Curl texture is really hard to find in extension hair, because usually it looks perfect when wet, but dries to loose.Dry (No manipulation) = 3C:4ATo my shock, the hair not only Jheri Curls when wet, but dries exactly as my hair does, which becomes a 3C:4A.There is nothing more satisfying than just washing n going without any worry of manipulation to match texture - it just dries perfectly if you're a 3C:4A.Dry (Manipulated) = 4A:4BTo add on, this hair becomes thicker, fuller and lives up to its Zigzag description, by transforming into 4A:4B hair with light manipulation - just pulling the curls apart.In Picture 1 (red head) that is my natural texture (3C:4A) with curl jelly to make the 3C hold better. Without curl jelly, my hair becomes 4A:4B in most areas. In Picture 2 (blue braid bangs,) that is my natural hair mixed with the extensions with no curl jelly.It can be fluffed and fro'd, or wet and creamed to capture mixed textured hair very easily.So if you are on the thicker side of the spectrum, 3C and beyond, this is a perfect buy.2.) Is 1 bundle enough?I used 1 bundle with 2 pieces leftover, BUT, I cut many of the pieces in half.1 bundle is 100 pieces, you will need 200.However, the pieces ARE THICK, a bit too thick to slip into a silicon lined bead (I used those,) but even cut in half, you can see that it's absolutely still full. Every half strand was thick.You can use your flat iron to melt the glue and re-roll the ends after you cut it in half to not lose hair strands ?.3.) How long did it take?I have Youtube experience with weaving, in fact these are only my 2nd set of microlinks. It takes 4-5 hours with minimal breaks.It will seem like a lot, as each row of hair takes anywhere from 10-20 beads, but it feels like you're always getting a row done fast.I box braided my own hair several times, and lemme tell ya, 16 hours vs 5 is a dream for cute hair.4.) Does it feel like Beyonce?Gurl...you forget it's even weave ?♀️. Microlinks are amazing because they're so tiny and unnoticeable, while giving you 100% ability to put it in any style comfortably.The curlyness hides the beads so well, that when the wind blows, no one can see them unless right up in ya head.I'm all about the hair looking imperfect to mimic real imperfect hair, so I sleep without wrapping it for a week, abuse it a little, so it's got some imperfections which makes it perfect.I wake up, and it's matted to one side like my real hair ha ha ? that's good weave y'all.It behaves exactly like my real hair, eliminating the constant "weave worry," that parts of it look fake compared to your real texture.Can you tell I have weave in? Neither can anyone else.This hair blows in the wind and threatens to dreadloc when you skip a couple hair care days - as afro hair does ha ha.DON'T FORGET TO LAYER - any loose weave needs to mimic the natural layering of our hair. I trimmed mine to match, and this creates the seemless mixture of real vs fake hair.Curly hair will never be manageable like fine hair, so don't worry about tangles that happen. This hair tangles as much as you neglect to care for it, like our real natural hair does.Also, YO MAN CAN PULL THIS HAIR ALL DAY.Microlinks for the win in the bedroom. ?5.) Is this weave a healthy option for hair growth?Sis, hell yea. The links sandwich your hair in a fluffy forest of moisture and protection from everything out to destroy your hair in life.I straighten my hair 2 times a year, so if you keep the heat damage minimum and rock yo curls, you won't need this weave for very long.Can keep your usual hair care routine!Weave is always dryer than real hair due to no sebum oil at its roots, so it kind of makes you moisturize more often. I use As I Am jojoba moisture butter, jojoba oil and some grease if necessary.6.) How long they last?6 months to a year. YAAAS SIS, you can have beautiful luscious hair ALL year. Just re-tighten your beads every 3 months.There's no tangling from the bead, new growth just pushes the bead down as your roots get longer.Be careful handling the beads tho. I recommend buying a silicon microlinks bead kit (9.00 on here,) as the silicon makes them slide easily vs all metal.Take your time gurl, get you some wine and use small sections and be patiently gentle.Those 4-6 hours are gonna change the whole game ?
