Review: Sensationnel Goddess Remi Natural Yaki (2nd review)

What a difference a day (or a year makes). So, if you've read previous posts of mine, I did a review on this hair a little over a year ago. I just went on and on about how great this hair was and how I had reused the hair about 3 times.

Child....let me tell you. It was a totally different story this go around. So, I had been rocking my Creta wig for a few weeks. I still like the wig and even though I said I was going to rock that wig for a long time, I changed my mind.  I should never say I'm going to do anything for a long time. I change my mind about my hair like I blink my eyes.

In any case, I really wanted to order some hair online, but I was on the fence about what I wanted to buy and who I wanted to buy it from. I figured I would just go to my "quick fix" hair...Sensationnel Goddess Remi (Natural Yaki) weaving hair since it treated me so well the last time.

Hmph. I don't know what happened, but now I see why other ladies were giving this hair such bad reviews. This batch of hair tangled from the first time I put it in. I've had it in for about a week now and it's horrible. Absolutely HORRIBLE.  This thing tangles as soon as you look at it. I wish I could say I was exaggerating, but I'm not. WTF happened?

Now, I know that there is a "shortage" of hair and that a lot of weaving hair these days have been filled with synthetic fibers and animal hairs.  That's just what happens when supply can't meet demand. However, for the price of this effing hair (approx $130 for both packs..and that was ON SALE), this was unacceptable. This thing looks like a rats' nest.

I tried washing and conditioning it, just washing it without the conditioner, putting oil on it...everything. It doesn't work. Then the fact that I didn't seal it only made it worse.  The thing is shedding like crazy (which was not the case when I used this hair before).

Well, they don't have to worry. I will NOT be using this hair again. EVER.   I plan on making myself a wig this weekend and taking this sh*t out.

Unbelievable!

11-4-11 Weekend Plans

I've been wearing my hair in cornrows under my wigs for the past few weeks. It just makes it easier. I re-braided the cornrows last weekend. I've always liked washing/co-washing my hair while in cornrows because it's way quicker.

I haven't used any type of growth aid, or grease on my scalp this week, so I'm going to use a gentle shampoo or conditioner.  I want to mainly co-wash my hair, but I still have that Mixed Silk shampoo (see this review).  I want to get rid of it, so I'm thinking I will co-wash with that and DC under my steamer using the Mixed Silk deep conditioner (see Mixed Silk review here). I'm definitely going to add some kind of oil to the DC again.  I think I will use the Wheat Germ oil again.

I haven't decided on what kind of leave in I will use on my hair yet. I've noticed some progress with my hair, and don't want to use any products that might cause a set back.

We shall see.
