^^ that is so helpful! I found that kc weave is more maintenance than my own hair too but blending makes it worth the while. One thing I am realizing is having kc on a upart seems like more tugging on just one perimeter braid when I detangle vs getting a sew in and having the pulling distributed thought all of my hair when detangling. Does that make sense? My upart kc wig is just killing my perimeter braid with the detangling |
Oh no, maybe I shouldn't make a upart? but its so much cheaper

Does ONYC have good quality Kinky Curly hair? Also can I get away w/ 2 bundles of it for a U-Part?
I'm asking this because although, I've heard good things about it, I noticed that the price is cheaper. People on youtube videos have said they paided 100 for 1 bundle of 12 inch but now a 14 inch is 60 dollars!!! (Hopefully it still is when I get paid in 2 weeks!)
I feel like maybe the quality has gone down... why else would they make it so much cheaper?
I was originally trying to find some KC on aliexpress that might last me a short while, and then I thought I'll just get some synthetic or human hair from the BSS if I can find any that resembles KC there for a u-part that might last at most, 2 months.
But then I looked on ONYC and saw how cheap the hair was and thought, I'd rather by ONYC for 120 than buy 2 bundles on aliexpress that may come out to 100 before shipping and 130 afterwards... the ONYC is a better deal. |
Hi, you are looking at the I tip prices for fusion. The machine wefts remain higher priced.

LaLeslie,
I can't really comment on whether the quality has gone down or not regarding the ONYC as my bundles were purchased quite some time ago. I have an array of KC hair in my stash: ONYC, RHO, AAMH and to be honest with you I find they all react the same way...the commonality with kc is that you hav eto expect shedding..no if's ands or buts about it...that hair is going to shed!
In terms of shedding I find that the ONYC and the AAMH sheds more than my RHO but that has been my experience.
The key is maintaining and upkeeping the hair...you MUST moisturize and condition the hair.....
You may want to look at the size of the curls in the companies you are interested in and then make your decision..I find the curls on my RHO are more pen size while the curls on the ONYC and AAMH are bigger.
HTH

Okay thank you. Maybe when I get a full time job, I will buy that hair 'cause I definitely can't afford it atm.

I wanted to also mention that I am now tempted to rock my kinky curly hair however, it is darn freezing where I am...
Are any of you ladies rocking kc in freezing cold climates and if so, how are you managing with the upkeep of having to wet and mositurize the hair with the cold elements??

Twistouts and finger coils. I never wet my KC daily. I love in Louisiana. So it's not freezing cold here majority of the time, but when it is cold...I still don't wet my hair. Wash and go styles will require more moisture to retain that "fresh look". So that might not be the proper style for cold elements. If you do twistouts, braid outs, and even finger coils, you will have defined curls without the need to rewet on a daily bases. And rewetting in the morning with these styles are not a requirement.

My kinky curly hair sheds like a beast. It's very very cute, but the upkeep isn't really worth the hassle to me. I'll keep this hair in for ather two weeks then toss it or make it a half wig. I even sealed the wefts =\ oh well

AK,
You are lucky being in Louisiana. I am in Canada and right now we are dealing with temperatures in the minus area along with snow...I can't wait for spring.
I have tried twistouts on the kc hair but not finger coils...I will have to try. I find that I have to at least mist the hair prior to twising it to gain some definition...I have a upart that I am going to pull out an dplay with to see as I am so tempted to rock some kinky goodness!!
