Everywhere you turn to on social media, you are probably seeing delectable offers on human hair, especially ‘bone straight’ weave. It seems to be the biggest type of hair everyone wants this season, but before you spend thousands of Naira that will end in tears, you may want to read what I have to say.
1. Make sure you trust the vendor: This is particularly important if you are buying hair online. Don’t buy from a vendor just because they have a big name. You’ll be surprised what horror stories people have to tell. Before you buy, make sure that someone else you know can testify to the quality of their hair, or just enter the market or store, and pick out the hair you want by yourself.
2. Prepare to spend money on quality: Don’t let anyone lie to you, the best ‘bone-straight’ weaves are very expensive, especially if they are long. So, before you decide to buy a full bundle, prepare to lose a few thousands from your account.
3. Buy a simple and neutral colour: Unless you know that your money is overflowing, you may want to consider this. When you eventually get tired of the neutral colour, you can then decide to dye it into something fiery.
4. Learn a few things about different types of hair: The easiest way to get scammed buying hair is when you don’t know what it’s supposed to look like. Bone straight hair is very straight, like freshly straightened hair. It has to have great texture, and very little split ends. But you’ll never know what you should look out for if you don’t research a little. Remember, quality bone-straight bundles cost a lot of money, so you don’t want to waste it.
5. Demand to know the grade of the hair: If you don’t know much about hair, this could confuse you, but there are different grades of hair. The least you should buy should be 7A, but 9A would be best. However, if you want to splurge a little, then you should target a higher grade. Just make sure your vendor doesn’t rip you off by selling a lower grade at a more expensive price. The trick is to ask as if you know better and gauge their reaction as they reply. Now, you can’t ever say we never did anything for you.
Finally, learn a few things about how to care for the hair before you get it. It would be a shame to let bad practices destroy such a beautiful and expensive weave. And do not forget to rock it with some high-quality drip, let your hair match the look.
