Bijoux Soprano Unprocessed Natural Brazilian Remi hair - a review

I have to tell you about an awesome pack of Brazilian hair I found at my beauty supply store. I guess after years of buying hair extensions one develops a knack for selecting quality hair. I mean I knew nothing of this hair -never saw a You Tube video on it nor read a review. I just saw it in the pack, asked the girl at the counter for a closer look and I was sold.
I bought the hair in a 14 inch and in its natural dark brown colour. My plan was to use one pack to make clip in pieces. And though it looked like my own straight-from-the-scalp hair , the magic was really in wearing two packs. It was full, bouncy and blended well with my own hair.
I bought the hair at beginning of the year but held off on blogging it until I tried it for a while.
By month three, and tired of the dark hair, I ombre- or lighten- the ends.   Those extensions  really responded well to my hydrogen peroxide and baking soda home concoction.
I wore the hair for two months more - taking down and reinstalling the hair  every month - when I started noticing how dry and thin the hair got. If I am going to wear the hair again I will skip the bleaching altogether.
Ladies, this hair does not tangle nor shed and does well with co washes.
Overrall , I wore the hair for  close to seven months. I believe that had I not bleached it , it would have gone so much further. They say remi in the pack is inferior to the Remy bundles; I disagree. At least there is nothing inferior about this hair!

Photos show the original colour of the hair when I bought it and the ombre.

Bey's super short bangs

A lot of my friends and readers  have been asking my opinion about Ms Bey's latest hair outing. I want to begin by saying that the woman makes helluva lot more money than I do which is why I expected so much more from her. The style of wig - super short bangs and long hair is now trending, but on Bey it does absolutely nothing. In fact, it is downright ugly on her. Bey looks better with wavy hair and layered or longer bangs. Compare her short bangs to Katy Perry's . Both are rocking the same look but,  this time, Perry wins in the hair department .
