Top 5 Reason Brazilian Hair Is The Best




Brazilian Bundle hair, Brazilian, Bundle hair, Please give your hair to everybody.

Many of you weave wearers or current hair experiment enthusiast have to agree Brazilian Bundle hair is poppin not like the club, LOL.  But Brazilian Bundle Hair is extremely awesome for people that like to test out hair styles and use Bleach, Dye, perms etc, they possibilities are endless. But many of you guys that never had brazilian hair or contemplating it this post is for you. " Top 5 Reason Brazilian Bundle Hair is the Best "




1.Bleaching/Dying/Styling
Another popularity with Brazilian hair is the fact that its thicker, so it actually has the ability to be dyed even... Bleached. Yes bleached but only with Virgin Brazilian Bundle hair, it should say it has the ability to Bleach, Dye, and Perm as below.






2. Thickness
And we all know us normal girls have a hard-ass time blending in the thin hair with our leave out, its literally impossible.
But know its easier, Brazilian hair is much more thicker thus having the ability to blend in with our coarse more yaki texture hair.

3. Availability
We all know us working woman cannot be going around the world for what ever this eurasian hair crap is, you know what i'm saying. But Brazilian Bundle Hair is available anywhere Beauty Supply Stores, Ebay, Amazon. Every brand has a line of Brazilian hair.


4. Versatility 
Some of use fashionistas love to switch up our looks to curly, Straight, to wavy. Brazilian hair has the versatility to go straight to curly due to its natural pattern of the hair. We all have the trouble to get some hair pin straight with out damaging the hair, but know are problems are solved. 



5. Longevity 
Some of our regular beauty supply store hair is to only be used for a couple weeks just a quick weave to our lazy curly hair gals. But Brazilian hair actually has many uses before it ends up in our weave box.
With the proper hair and proper care the hair can be used in multiple installs for several months.

[ Gurlitsremy ] Top 10 products for curly hair!



     

     Having curly hair can be a blessing or a curse, I mean where my curly hair sista's at ? LOL,

I mean having the perfect moisturized ringlets following you around and achieving the look can be the best blessing having the feeling, " I have finally accomplished you " but getting there can be like running a continuous marathon. 

I mean breaking combs - Dryness - Frizz, are just the daily things we Curly gals have to live with. But maybe these 10 products can make your life easier!

* Not in order, I have personally tested all these products on people with more wavy to more kinky curled hair. All the reviews are based on experience. My experience may differ from another persons. * 
Very open to everybody's comments below!

1. Macadamia Natural Oil
With the Macadamia Natural Oil, I noticed this mask is very very moisturizing. This product is also very versatile helping to put moisture back in dry or even greatly damaged hair. And its not too heavy so your able to use it on weaves too!

2. Moroccan Oil Intense Curl Cream
The Moroccan Oil Intense Curl Cream, Is a very good cream for defining curls. It works for wavy to curly hair. This product isn't really good for weave, because it may be a little to heavy and could cause tangles.

3.  Mixed Chicks Sulfate Free Shampoo/ Conditioner
The Mixed Chicks Sulfate free Shampoo/Leave-In Conditioner, is truly a amazing products for curly hair and very low priced and widely accessible everywhere. It doesn't weigh hair down which can cause tangles, and does not contain sulfate which is really drying to curly hair. The conditioner also softens the hair for detangling.

4. Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner
The Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner, is also another widely available product that's available in most drug store/Shopping markets. This products contains Coconut milk which can conditioner hair. I noticed this could also be a deep conditioner because its so rich. I overall loved this product due to it making hair soft and easier to de-tangle and work with hair afterwards.


5. PANTENE Defining Curls Styling Custard


The Pantene Defining Curls Styling Custard, is really good for defining curls. 
I loved this product when doing Bantu knots because it really defined the curls on hair. I noticed I was only able to find this at a couple beauty supply stores.


6. Dark and Lovely AU Naturale Coil Moisturizing Souffle
The Dark And Lovely AU Naturale Coil Moisturizing Souffle, is a moisturizing product also a curl defining product in 1, in my opinion. With gurls who love to tightly coil their hair, you noticed hair get dry. This product is the answer to your prayers. Extremely moisturizing and smells good.


7. Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment
The Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment, THIS IS VERY HEAVENLY. 
I use this product in my hair personally, It's very good for dry or damaged hair. It could be a leave in oil or a deep treatment you could pop in the microwave. But it's amazing for curly hair adding amazing amounts of moisture. 


8. Macadamia Oil Infused Comb
I use the Macadamia comb on really coarse hair with the Macadamia oil, and it makes hair detangling soooo Simple! It's very nice to have aroundespecially with dry hair.



9. Palmer's Coconut Conditioning Shampoo
Palmer Coconut Conditioning Shampoo, is very conditioning to any type of hair even great to dyed hair. But it adds moisture to curly hair such as the tips where it takes oil longer to get down. 



10. WEN Sweet Almond Mint
Wen's Sweet Almond Mint, is a conditioning but it also cleanses. It was very good for any type of hair which is amazing. Anybody can use this, but its really good for curly hair.

Now go get hair like this


But I hope you guys can also try these products to tame the curlyness. I know that these products aren't for everybody and would love some opinions on what you curly queens think of these products. 
But see you guys tomorrow

[ Gurlitsremy ] The perfect weave.


  With many hair companies such as "JanetCollection, Bobbi Boss, Sensationnel, Shake & Go " taking there turn at producing virgin hair - and many other series of hair; that other youtube gurus/blogger gurus claim to be,(perfect)-(no shedding). which one is actually "Good or does what it says".
   So I have come to the conclusion: there will never be a perfect weave - or one that does what it says on the package.


First of all, when your purchasing your first weave or trying another brand of hair; you have to keep your guard up to not be disappointed in the end.
No matter how luxurious the brand is/how much you pay, no hair or weave will ever be 100% perfect. The best way to find the hair you love is to test many different brands of hair - Let me tell, it took me a long time before I found hair that actually met my standards.

 My standards of "Good Hair"
  • Does not become straw like after wash.
  • Has minimal shedding.
  • The color of the hair will not wash out when washed.
  • Has little>no tangling.
  • Good for multiple installations.
  • If "Virgin" can be dyed, or styled without turning nasty.
  • 100% human hair
What to expect in a weave

  • No Tangling:  Trust me, all hair tangles. I have tried luxurious brands of hair > to lower brands of hair and they all tangled. But for a good weave tangling should be very minimal, and nothing to rigorous that you wouldn't be able to fix with a comb and hair oil. Never sleep with your hair freely if you have clips take them out, but if you have a sew in braid the into two braids and then wrap in a scarf so no tangling is created while your asleep.
  • No shedding:  ALL HAIR WILL SHED, it's just something you have to be used to. (No matter what you pay or what brand it is, it will shed). Hair extensions are wefted together to make a weave, so there's no chance all the hairs could be wefted on. There may be some that shed less but never expect it to never shed. But thank god to weft sealers.
  • Gray hairs:  Hair donors range from old to young, but don't freak at least you know you have real human hair, just kidding. If the gray hairs are minimal they could be plucked out, but another alternative it to give the hair a color bath. But never FREAK OUT you may just have hair from an older donor, but it happens.
  • Minimal care effort:  This is the reason some YouTube gurus can't be trusted. With any weave comes with extra care a weave should be cared for likes a baby. A weave doesn't receive any nutrients or proteins your own hair gets, so for any styling you do give it extra love. And with better care comes with a longer use. 


So here this post comes to an end, I hope I helped someone with their weave, but happy thanksgiving here I am eating pie. 
But if you want a review comment below, if you wanna learn how to do a color bath, detangling hair with oil, how to dye weave, or any hair care tips with your own hair,Never be afraid to ask or email me at queenofremy@gmail.com.

I will be reviewing the Sensationnel 100% brazilian weave bundle, so hope your excited.

[ Worth the hype or nah? ] Brazilian Hair






     What does Sensationnel, Janet Collection, Outre, Bobbi Boss, and Shake-N-Go all have in common? They are all producing series of [ Brazilian Hair ].

I remember a couple years ago Indian hair was the biggest hype, I mean every brand was just pumping out series of Indian Hair, back in the day every Woman that wore weave and flipped their hair was flaunting their Indian. 
Look even Naomi Campbell was flaunting her Indian!



Now onto the hair that got everyone flipping.


Why is brazilian hair so popular?
Brazilian hair has gotten so popular because of its coarser texture making it easier to blend with leave out. Brazilian hair is much more thicker than indian hair making it more versatile.

Indian hair is good hair too, but its much more thinner so it's not the easiest thing to blend into thicker more of a yaky textured hair.



Bleaching/Dying/Styling
Another popularity with Brazilian hair is the fact that its thicker, so it actually has the ability to be dyed even... Bleached. Yes bleached but only with Virgin Brazilian hair it should say Ability to Bleach, Dye, and Perm as below.




Which one would you recommend Brazilian, Indian, Malaysian, Peruvian?

Ok I'm gonna make this a little quick 

Brazilian, is much more thicker and much more easier to blend with coarser more of a yaky texture.

Indian, much more thinner. Indian hair would be better for girls with thinner hair.

Peruvian/Malaysian, it's in between the textures of Brazilian and Indian. It's not to thick or think. Good for people with inbetween textures.

[ Beauty Empire Store ] Sensationnel Malaysian Virgin Remy

Sensationnel Malaysia Virgin Remy [ Beautyempirestore ]

Hey guys,
sorry I've been gone for a little school got extremely crazy. Do you guys remember a couple months ago about me talking about the store. http://www.beautyempirestore.com/ http://www.beautyempirestore.com/products/3-pack-bundle-sensationnel-malaysian-virgin-remi ] .
A couple things that unsettles me about companies producing virgin hair is " is the hair really virgin " having the ability for the hair to be dyed, permed, bleached the possibilities were overwhelming.  

 
On to the review
 
I received two packs of the line 1 pack of 14in and 1 pack of 16inch in natural straight.
So as soon as opening the pack of hair I check the ends and give the hair a little shake, the point of checking the ends is it'll show if the hairs been processed yet.  * The tips should show no sign of split ends or any ratty ends, if they do make sure to give the hair a slight trim to get rid of them. They can cause tangles in the future. *

*I noticed the hair had a very natural wave to it, and after being washed the waves coming out more. I luckily did not experience any tangling or drying which is a common factor to wavy hair.
This hair was truly easy to work with holding a curl very well.*




Tangling: I noticed some tangling with the hair but not very often. Most of the tangles that happened in the hair was either not combing the hair correctly , or if I was washing it roughly. *Remember not to use styling products such as mouse, heavy shampoos, just stay away from heavy chemical products and tangles should stay away as well.*

Shedding: The packaging says no tangles but I find this to be a lie with every brand of hair out there. The wefting is very critical to see if you will need to seal them or not, I really loved the thin wefting on the hair as its easier to conceal when sewing in, but you will need to double track when making hair extensions.
Tip: When brushing the hair hold the track tightly and brush in the flow of down, middle, and up then all the way down.  This will preventing a lot of shedding.

Chemical processing: Since the hair is virgin, I thought " what better way to test the quality of the hair then bleaching. "
I was correct, the hair took the bleach but very slowly; it took around 4 times to get it down to a really light blonde. I was a little disappointed to find that only the 14 inch bundle took the bleach, yes the 16 inch did not dye at all. It was pretty disappointing.




I wouldn't recommend using high peroxide volumes, stay in the range of 30's and 20's. Using lower volume of peroxide will be better for the hair.




Pro's


  • Very good quality
  • Great availability
  • Thick bundles especially in the 14 inch
  • Soft
  • Sheds very minimally
  • Able to bleach, dye, and perm
  • Great wefting
  • Holds a curl well
Con's
  • Can be a little pricey
  • Only goes up to 18inch
  • Might not be able to be bleached light enough
  • Does shed a little
  • Does have a little tangling
  •  1 bundle didn't bleach
Thanks for reading my review, I have a tutorial on how to make clip in exstensions about to be published so look out.
* I noticed that my photos were sideways but I don't know how to fix it, bloggers been acting so weird. If anybody knows how to fix it please email me asap. Thanks guys!!
