I’m
wearing this RHO
hair for two weeks, I don’t think two weeks are long enough to give a proper review
on the hair, I’ll do it 4-6weeks after install.
I just
want to leave some recommendations for those considering buying this hair, It’s
easy to look at install pictures and think “I want that!”, it happened to me
several times 
1) A lot
of people think that kinky curly weaves are carefree but they're not. You still have to put in some work. They can give you
a break from dealing with your own hair but there's still some maintenance
involved.
2) I’ve
been wearing weaves since 2005, always straight or kinky straight because my
hair was relaxed. After transitioning for 2 years I started using kinky curly
weaves. I've found that with kinky curly/afro kinky curly hair sometimes it's
more work than straight weaves. I usually spend more time detangling the weave
than I do my own hair. After 2 or 3 months using the weave it ends up in a bun
or ponytail because I don't feel like being bothered.
3) Be
prepared to detangle like you would your
own natural hair. It may actually be worse since the weave is going to be
longer than your own hair. If the hair sheds, it will make the tangling worse
because the shed hair will get caught in the bulk of the hair and cause
tangles. I do it every night after re-wetting with water/conditioner spritz.
4) Be prepared to cowash or rewet the
hair on a regular basis because it will get flat when you sleep on it.
You'll need to refresh the curl some type of way. You could also do braid or
twist outs to cut down on the need for this.
5) Be prepared to keep the hair
moisturised. Depending on the type of hair you buy, it may get dry. Keep it
wrapped up at night so your pillowcase doesn't zap it dry. You may have to DC
the weave hair on a regular basis to keep it soft. I DC on a weekly basis, on
wash day.
6) The wefts are hand tied, not a problem for
me, I usually split my weft anyway, but I think this may be an issue for some
people.
7)
Shipping cost to the US is
around $80 (depending on currency rates), again I’m UK based, that’s not an issue. For
US ladies out there, you may find similar or even better hair from US based
suppliers.
8) My
weave regimen is exactly the same I use for my real hair, products are
different (Keracare is too expensive to use on the weave).
9) If time to take care of the weave is an issue for you, consider the option of using the hair in a wig/U part wig.
With curly
weaves, I find that I can get out of the house quicker, because blending is so
easy but there’s some maintenance involved.
I’m not
trying to put people off from buying the RHO hair, as I said, I’m very happy
with the hair (so far), I just want those interested to made an informed
decision.
(Apologies for the long post, it started as something short with 6 bullet points 
)
