Burmese Wavy Bundles ( Human Hair Crochet) Review| Lia Lavon

Hey YouTube fam: It's your girl, Lia back again with another video and today's video, as you can see from the title, it is another crochet, hair review, video and today's crochet hair, as you also saw from the title. It is human hair crochet. - And I am super super excited about this review and this video, because I had my crochet hair installed professionally for the first time ever in my life.. Never have I, ever in my entire life had crochet hair installed by a professional.. I mean going to a salon sitting down in a chair looking up and seeing somebody with a license and them doing my crochet hair.. It has been DIY or a family friend or somebody who knows how to braid down a hair then did some things.. No. This is by a professional who washed blow dried steam treatment and braided down my hair., But today's video is about the hair itself.. I'M gon na do my review for this hair. Just like, I would do any other review. You just heard me say I didn't install this hair., So this is not an install DIY, a how-to video.. No, it is literally me reviewing this hair., Meaning I'm coming on here. First, with my first day, thoughts of the hair. Showing you how it looks, the very first day. Telling you overall how the install process went, which in this case again, I didn't install it. But, overall, what my first day, impressions of this hair are., Then I'll come in one week later, telling you has it gone uphill or downhill in a matter of a week and telling you overall what my nighttime routine has been like with this hair. And then coming On here, finally, on my last day of wearing the hair, whether it's been four five, six seven weeks, my final day wearing the hair I come on here - show you how it looks telling you overall, has it really gone uphill or downhill in the course of those Weeks., Whether I think it's water, friendly and overall, whether I recommend you try, said hair and said method. Now there are time stamps down below for those people who are impatient and want to skip around to certain parts of the video, but just keep watching. If you want to see the continuous flow of this video, starting with my first day, thought. A few moments later. So now coming on here for my day, one thoughts on this human hair crochet provided to me by unwrapped beauty.. That'S the name of her salon.. Her name is Rashea. She's, a local stylist to the Charlotte region. She's in Gastonia, and she reached out to me because she's like I, just bought a new hair.. It'S a recent hair.. It'S a newer hair to me and I would love to have you try it out.. I really want you to give me genuine feedback on this hair because it's newer to her and of course it's newer to me. So I was like absolutely. And I loved her work. I looked at her work. Rashea does an amazing job as a stylist of not just human hair crochet., She does knotless braids.. She does synthetic regular crochet.. She does at all.. So I saw her work and I was like you know you can't trust anybody.. That'S why I don't let people play in my hair.. That'S why I ain't going to no professionals.. I went to her yesterday so yesterday she did the install and she did a phenomenal job.. I vlogged that.. So of course I didn't do the install. So I didn't shoot a regular, install video, but I did shoot it as part of a vlog video.. If you caught that Vlog, you saw it., She did the entire process. At first. I was scared that I was gon na, have to do the wash and blow dry and do all that stuff. Before I come in because I have been out of the braid game for a while. Y'all know, I don't be doing my hair done professionally, but I do see online that most stylists these days require you to have your shampoo and have that stuff done before you Come but she was like no, I got you girl., So she shampooed she steamed and she blew out my hair and then she did a braid pattern.. It was the Beehive braid pattern that I could never.. Let me do a turnaround, so you guys can see.. I have not altered it., She didn't even cut it., She didn't cut it in the salon and because, on my first day you guys know I like to see how the hair looks it.. She does shape if you actually go to her.. If you are watching this video because you're like I want to actually try her out., She he does shape it to your face. If you're, like a regular, you know customer who does not have a crochet hair review channel., But I think it falls naturally in a very nice and natural way that I don't know how it would look unless I straightened it. Right now. It looks good in it's curly safe, but if I straightened it, which you can, because it is human hair., 100 % human hair - and I do plan on straightening it.. So I will see how it looks like if it's whopsided and got to do some things we'll see what we got to do in that case.. Overall, this human hair, it's on the weft.. This is wefted hair. She did not cut it off the weft.. My whole head and again, let me lean in so you guys can really see. I'm gon na scooch up, so you guys can get into my hairline. The hair, even though it may not look like it. It is all weft. It's on a weft.. It'S on a weft., It's on a weft., It's on a weft and it does not at all look it. I could not tell you how she did this technique.. I could not tell you. She learn from somebody who I've mentioned on this channel. All the time Nia natural hair taught her how to do this illusion. Crochet, method., Nia, natural hair, is an amazing DMV stylist, who I always was like. You know what I would love to go to her one day.. I would love to go on up there and get on them books at some point., But now I have somebody who knows the illusion more locally trained by her., So I'm like this is good.. She also. Let me know that a lot of stylists are starting to get trained in this method. That it's a new and emerging method to do a crochet with wefted human hair and make it look realistic. And you guys again can buy the hair. I'll link the hair down. Below., You can buy this exact hair and then find a stylist who actually knows this method. I'll leave some names down below of some social media handles of some stylist who she named, who know it because again not every stylist is going to know how to install Human hair on the wefts in this way., But overall, let's get into the hair itself. The hair itself. Again, it's more that 3A 3B type of curl.. You need about three bundles to complete a full head., So she used not quite full for three.. She was like. I could squeeze an additional weft in there, but I think you're good with the wefts that you have - and I think I agree with her., But you can also dye it before it gets in your head. Like don't don't dye it when it's in your head, child. Dye, the bundles pre-putting it in your head. Uh, so the hair can be dyed to a different color if need be, and the final thing I want to do note and make sure that you guys are aware of. Is that because it's on the weft still, you can reuse 70 % of the hair, so that is what she states and that's what she stated to me is that 70 of this can be reused, because it is on the weft and the back and the Beehive Section and all of this section around is still on the west, so all you have to do is uninstall. It like you, would uninstall a sew in same exact thing in the front, though the front where it is this way, it cannot be reinstalled because of the way that it is so overall. Yes, those are my first day thoughts of this hair. I'M excited to see how this plays out, I'm gon na be wearing it for quite some time, so sorry to people who are ready for me to switch up like every couple of days every couple weeks. This is gon na be a hair. I'M gon na wear for a while, because honey, I'm already feeling myself. I know I'm gon na be feeling myself for the rest of this August and September time frame that I'm gon na be rocking this hair to see how I feel about this hair in one week. Just keep watching later so now coming on here for my week two thoughts. Yes, it has been two weeks. Normally I do a week one thoughts. Last weekend I was in Charleston, I had a sister's vacation that I did not Vlog, but if you follow me on Instagram at lila189, you saw was there typically, I try to make something Shake I try to film before try to film after I was just like. Let It Be I'm wearing this hair for an extended period of time. It does not matter if I forgo my one week thoughts as long as I catch up with them when I catch up with them, and it is two weeks since the insta all of this hair. Now, as far as my combination that I have been using for this hair now, the hair right now, as you can see, should look a little bit moist my combo has been water and Camille Rose, the coconut water leave-in, you guys know I did a whole video With this versus Kinky Curly, not today for my actual hair, my wash and goes, and the thing I like about this one - is it's so hydrating. It'S such a hydrating, leave-in conditioner. When I was there, she let me feel the myo Organics leave-in, which she said is what you know she recommends for the hair, but she gave me free reign to play around, since she is still in the phase of figuring out this hair. Again, this hair is as new to her as as it is to me, so she really wanted me to test it out and use what products you want to use on it. So I felt my L Organics that even felt so similar to the Camille Rose, coconut water leave in detangling hair treatment that I've used so much in the past. It'S just a quick process. All I'm doing is spray spray spray put in the detangle layer and also go in with my denim brush brush it through and walk out the door. Typically it air dries and when it air dries, it looks exactly how it did on the first day of thought. So I've only worn it kind of in it looks longer too. When I apply the water situation, it does appear to be that longer length when it dries up a bit. It does get to the I'm getting a little bit shorter of a lymph. I have not done anything but that for these past two weeks, my plan is next weekend, since it's a three-day weekend, a longer weekend is to actually experiment with other styles, so actually washing this actually taking a blow dryer to the situation actually flat. Ironing curling, like I'm, going to do a whole separate video on styling of this hair, so you'll be on the lookout for that. I would not include it in this video, because this video would be days long, but I'll. Think of separate video of styling. This hair and giving it a different look than the normal look, which I really adore, the normal look. My nighttime routine has been pineappling the hair so just really pulling it all together or Shea. The Stylist might be sad eyeing me a [ __ ]. She said Pineapple Ling was an option. She also said twisting. It was an option too. Twisting is definitely going to help the longevity of it. But if you just pineapple and don't do anything, she was like. That'S not that's, not a good look, but I've been pineappling and I've been staying on top of it. So I for [, __ ]. I promise you. I have not been having issues with the pineapple only method, just because I do do that. Detangling method. Every three days and the detangling isn't like a hassle like it is with synthetic hair like it feels different to run your fingers through human hair, of course, than it does synthetic hair. So it's not a chore a burden. It literally took me five minutes this morning when I went in the bathroom I put my makeup on in the bathroom and then just kind of detangle, my hair, so you can twist it up at night. That'S the recommended method from The Stylist Dallas told me, but she also said: pineappling is an option as well. Just putting it up at night is an option uh we're entering into we're still in August, as I'm filming this we're entering into September, I do plan on wearing it all throughout September, so the next time you'll see me outside of it. If you watch my styling video, which I don't know how I'm going to phase these videos, if that styling video will go up first, but the next time you see me in this, video will be my final thoughts coming up right now later so now, coming on. Here for my final thoughts on these Burmese wavy, human hair, bundles that have been crocheted and now, if you can see from the side, it has been eight weeks with this hair. This is the first time I think ever on my channel, where I've worn something for eight weeks, because that means I'm taking two months out of my life, where I can't review anything else. I normally don't tie myself to a situation for that long, but the ease of this hair has allowed me to say you know what I can take a breather. I haven't had a breather of eight weeks wearing the same style in the last six years. I think I deserve at least one break now at the time that you're watching this, I have my install Vlog, so the Vlog, where this was installed. I have my styling video, where I literally am washing the hair blow drying the hair flat ironing the hair curling. The hair one curling the hair, using heating tools, and then I have my frequently asked questions video. I think at this point I have not left a stone unturned. There is literally naughty question. I think that hasn't been answered. I'Ve thought of literally everything I can think of the comment section should not be any questions. If all three of those other videos and this video has been consulted, it should literally only be good video, or this is the worst video I've ever watched in my life. It shouldn't be nothing with a question mark at the end. I at this comment on a video. I can't remember exactly which video it is when I see it I'll, probably it's my styling video, so my styling video, which was the video before my frequently asked questions. Video, it was from B Britton and she said what is the great mystery with this hair? Why won't you say you are usually so transparent and straightforward, I'm always transparent and straightforward. So I had to inquire about that question. I had to say at that point. I added the install video. I had done that styling video, where I'm styling it. I hadn't done my frequently Asked question video, but that was coming out Monday. I got this comment on like a Thursday, so I was like girl. I don't know what you're talking about, because I feel like I've answered everything every single question. I can't be any more thorough and straightforward, so I said I look I'm about to make my review video in a couple weeks. I need to know exactly what question I haven't answered for you, so that it can be a hundred percent answered in this video, because this is the last day I'm wearing the hair. It'S coming out this afternoon, I got ta get this answered and she just responded. Maybe it's me: I've been watching your videos for a long time. I have never heard of crochet interlock done with Bundle Hair. How can that be done? I don't know I'm not a youngster. Maybe I'm missing something. So I think her question came down to again the question that was on everybody's mind that I addressed in my frequently asked questions video. So to this comment. She probably hadn't seen my frequently asked questions video. It definitely hadn't seen it because it hadn't come out. Yet came out four days later, but I talk about in that video, the install I didn't install it myself again. You saw my I'm looking ahead. I was commissioned the style stylist reached out to me and said: hey, look! I'M in Gastonia I'm right down the street from you. I have some bundles that I've just bought and I am looking for somebody to review those bundles. Do you mind doing it for me and I do the crochet hair human hair, install method. Talk to me by me and natural hair: can you review this hair for me, because I know you do crochet hair reviews, my videos say crochet, hair reviews at the bottom care that has been crocheted and I review it. So I was like okay you're crocheting in bundles. This is new for me, too. I wasn't familiar with that at all, but I heard that I would have eight weeks of not having to do my own hair. Yes, sign me up, please please. I'Ve never been to a professional to get my hair crocheted and let me sit down get my hair washed sit under a steamer. Have somebody blow drying? Let somebody else do the process for once. So she commissioned me for the review of the hair, not a full Blow by blow or step-by-step tutorial on the install. This was not for me to review the install or show you guys the install method, because this was taught to her. She paid money for a class, she took a class by Nia natural hair who offered said class and she learned how to do this technique. I talk about this in depth. In my frequently asked questions video she took bundles. These are not the bundles that are in my head, of course, these are curly. This is called Burmese, wavy hair. They are Burmese, wavy, bundles, that you mean you. Can Google Burmese, wavy, bundles and other bundles will come up as a form of hair. This is probably like, I don't even know, Malaysian body wave or something I bought this seven years ago. It'S been some time, so she installed bundled hair crocheting it in crocheting it in and never cut it off the weft. She never cut the hair off the weft. At any point front back side to side left right: she never cut it off the weft, so it's installed wefted, even in the front, even in the front, it is still on its weft. It'S a method that she again paid to take. She took the class virtually from me and natural hair and she learned this technique. You would like to learn this technique. I suggest reaching out to Nia natural hair, her Instagram. She runs sales all the time on this. I see it on her page, where she'll be like 30 off of her human hair, crochet bundles in style class. Again, my video wasn't on the install of this or a review of Nia's class. It'S a review of this hair, so my research has only been really with talking to my stylist learning that she took this class on her site on my stylist. My stylus's name is Rashia. Her Instagram handle I'll link it right now. It'S unwrapped Beauty. If you want to learn more, I link down below the bundles where the purchase I link down below her booking information site, I've linked down below all of that in the description box. She knows how to do this technique and a lot of other stylists. I'Ve realized have learned to take this technique too. A lot of people have taken Mia's class to learn this, do I know other stylists or their Instagrams or who does this like? I got a lot of comments on my Tick Tock. Can you let me know who does this in Philly? Who does this and blah blah blah? I said in my last video my frequently asked questions video, I'm not the white pages of knowing who does this technique and then I got some comments that were like the White Pages, the white pages - and I was like - am I dating myself? Do people not remember when they used to mail like the telephone books, the white pages and the Yellow Pages Home White Pages were for more residential, so like your neighbors and like people's home addresses and phone numbers, but then the Yellow Pages was for like businesses, and You could find businesses - I just meant like I'm, not the directory of knowing every stylist in America who has taken Nia's class because again it was really about the review of this hair. So I'm not fully well versed, but what you can do is go into. Instagram. Put human hair, crochet or human hair crochet install and a bunch of people come up like a bunch of people and just go through them and see if anybody's close to you. If you want to go to the DMV, I know Nia, natural hair does it and if you're in Charlotte, I know my style. So I know of at least three who know how to do this I'll link down below at least the couple that I can find their Instagram handles. But that's the best way to find who else knows how to install completely bundled and learn from Nia or they might have learned on their own. But if I am to give my overall thoughts on this process because you're like well, is the process worth it itself? Like I get it, you can't talk about the process. I get it, you can't, you know you didn't do the process, but do you think the process is worth the payment? And I've said in my last few videos. The cost is expensive. It'S hundreds it's hard for me to utter it. So in the last video I put it on screen, but somebody still in the comments was like: how much does it cost? I was like I put it on screen because my mouth it's hard for me. To other words, I even messaged the Styles because, like I feel like the only question that I keep you know, um like Whispering a little bit. Is that price, because I'm so freaking cheap 700. 700 - I can't even say it out loud - is seven hundred dollars. That'S how much she charges for this style and for somebody who has not paid to get her hair done in seven years like buy a professional but outside of silk presses outside of Tony who does my hair twice a year. Tony? Does my hair twice a year? I'Ve already done it once for the wedding. You saw me for my best friend's wedding. I got my suppressed, maybe do it again in December, but twice a year I go get a silk pressed and that's all that I do with paying somebody money out of my pocket to do that. I'M cheap, I'm Jason Pitts! I don't spend a lot of money. So that price is a skirt for me, but then I see so many people on her page. She she does this style and a lot of other clients like she has clients who she does this for on her page check out her Instagram. If you want to see a lot of people get this technique, and it is for that ease that ease of I mean these last eight weeks have been incredible. For me, it's been so incredible like I am so not saying I'm not looking forward to going back, but it is gon na be a hard thing, because this has been the most easiest low maintenance time of my life, and I really enjoyed it like this. Eight weeks has felt like it has gone by too fast, because I really wanted to soak it up and enjoy it, but that price point is very high. I made a dry bar appointment, so not this week, I'm gon na wear my hair out and do a wash and go, but the next week I'm doing a blowout from dry bar. I know it's not historically thought of to be, for you know us, but we'll see I'm gon na see how dry bar does your girl and I'm hoping they do me good, but it was 49 when I booked it 49 9.99 when I booked it. I did the math that is 14 dry bar appointments, so this hairstyle is 14 of my dry bar 49.99. Now I don't haven't been to dry bar as I'm recording this right now, so it could be a complete another. Mess check out, be subscribed, tune in and see that Vlog to see. I think I'm gon na Vlog my dry bar experience to see if that's good for 49.99, but those are two different price points this and then that this hair is 14 times just one dry bar appointment. You know that's one a month and then one month I would do two with that numbering. So it's expensive. It'S something that me personally. I could only justify for like a special occasion or something like this time period when I'm super busy for work when we're in that phase of my work, where it is crunch time. August 15th, through I say October 15th, are really the prime time where I'm doing logistically a lot for college. I have to go on site for college, I'm going places. You saw my last Vlog. I have to be here there everywhere and you know it's a it's. A time where I need to be focused on other things, hair needs to be the last of my worries. This is something I would definitely do during this time period or a wedding. I'M a wedding in a wedding like this would be at a quintessential wedding here because it can go from wedding to like the the honeymoon just like that. So I think, for those occasions day to day every single day, I would need a real reason to justify that price tag. I'M trying to save for a house if it could be around the 400 price point because you're paying for the bundles too. You have to think about that. Yes, it's the style for the hair is included, it's not 700 and then the hair, the hair is the hair, and I have three bundles in my head. Three bundles of human hair is not cheap. It is not forty dollars, so I do have a lot of costly hair in my hair, so I need to take into account the cost of the hair. The cost of the you know she didn't have me come with my hair already blow dried. I have to take into account she washed blow dried steamed, I said, had a good steam treatment. She used good olaplex products I paid for olaplex. I know how much that cost. She did a whole process on my hair and she used 18, 18 and 20 inches. As the bundles I mean you can never tell anybody how to price their things. So if she did the cost analysis, she did. The return on investment she figured out. 700 is her price. That is her price. I don't know if every single person who does this technique charges the same, though this is what I would consider a luxury hairstyle. Somebody commented on my Tick Tock. What happened to the days when crochet hair was inexpensive, we're still in those days. Those days are still now her prices for her normal Styles under like 180. I think her price for her normal Styles, where it's not you know, human hair still very affordable, but the days of them being inexpensive are still today. This is what I would consider a luxury hairstyle. This is what I would put in the luxury category, and somebody commented on my frequently asked questions video there's times in your life, where you want a bit of luxury there's times when we want to go cheap and I feel like I lean and lean into them. Cheap times a lot more than I do the luxury times, but there are some times like these last two months have been amazing for me just to be able to just to be able to chill like this is self-care at its finest. So, let's get into the hair itself, because I feel, like I've, just talked and talked and talked about the process and everything the hair review is what this video was really supposed to be about, and the review on this hair is it's been super super low maintenance. All I do put water on and I still use my Camille Rose I'll, put that on the screen. Right now, Camille Rose, leave-in, detangler and then this is. It have not cut this hair. This is the same length that it's always been throughout. The process never touched any scissors to the hair, let's lean in even more so you guys can see the new growth. So this is what eight weeks of New Growth looks like. I just feel like my hair is growing, which is good. It just gon na depend on the growth of your own hair. How fast is your own hair grow? Does your own hair grow fast or super slow, whatever the case may be, you're just gon na have to gauge that if you have a super fast growing, hair and you're, like my hair, will not last me even six weeks and that's something you're gon na have To determine um, because once your braids start getting loose, then the hair starts. You know wobbledy wobbledy, but I think the longer that it goes in the hair looks natural. So my hairline, I think, still has a level a bit of natural lookingness to it. So you know I could have this whole time. I think my hair is used to the being this way, so it's going to pop up that way, but I could have done a middle part. I could have done a far right part and just kind of form. My hair like this, but on the left, part girl. This looks weird to me. This looks weird to me. This feels comfortable to me. I think personally, my mom was like because she's my mom is taking my hair out today. She was like you sure, because I looked good. She saw me last week for her birthday um we spent time together she was like. Are you sure you want me to check it out next week because it still looks good and I was like it's just time. It'S just time, but I could do. I feel like at least two more weeks. I think I could do 10 weeks Max at current state and then it would just be a little too loose. I would definitely need to do it, so I could do 10 weeks and then it's time to go. Have I washed my hair almost all the time. This is the most washing I've ever done. Probably, with a hair I mean I watched it today, you've seen Vlogs where I've washed it it's wet. I start the video with the hair wet because I took a shower and the hair is wet. I started a vlog today that I'm filming where my hair is wet. So, yes, I wash the hair, so it can do everything it can be washed blow dried. I got a comment. Can it be colored? Yes, it can be colored, it's human hair. Bundled can it be flat iron? I got that question yes flat iron straight in uh, any heating tools. It is human hair, it's not a blend, it's not a synthetic 20 and then 80 human hair is human hair. Is it activewear friendly? Absolutely I think it's human hair. Is it water friendly? Yes, because it's been wet, I mean again, I've seen shown you it washed all the time now. Is it a hair that I would go to on vacation with or a beach to? No because I made a video recently if you watch my water video, I don't know what I termed it, because I haven't edited it fully yet, nor has it been posted as I'm filming this, but as you're watching this has been posted. It'S my video on why I just feel like human hair is not going to be my option for beaches vacations, it's going to be synthetic, and why is because synthetic hair dry super fast synthetic hair looks super good you've seen me wear synthetic hair when it hits Water, it does not change, whereas This is Gon na Change, change, you're, gon na dip it in water and it's gon na do what your hair does when you dip your own hair in water, do you take your own hair on vacations? Do you swim around in a pool with your own hair on vacation, most likely? No, but dipping my own natural, hair and water and coming up and doing nothing, would be the biggest frizz ball of Life same thing here after I wash this hair, I need to put my Camille rose on, so we need to go through the steps of the Process with my synthetic hair, I don't need to go through steps of the process and that's why, if I'm on a vacation, if I'm swimming in the Bahamas, I don't want to get this wet and then walk around with soaking wet hair like I don't want to Walk around with this hair, while it's soaking wet, if that makes sense, so, yes, it can be it's beautiful, but I'm gon na go synthetic all the time nine times out of ten! That'S why box braids are the go-to quintessential style for your vacation? That'S why not lists are the go-to style for your vacation? Could people go with sew-ins, absolutely micro link? Yes, tape means probably not. This is not to say this is not a vacation style. I'M saying this. Isn'T a water vacation, I'm probably gon na, get my hair wet style if you're going on a vacation to Miami Jamaica, all that you have no intentions on getting near any body of water, then yeah go with this, but I think the chances of you touching water Are a little bit more likely in a water destination? So overall do I recommend this hair? Yes, love it, but I think I can never go back to this type of hair for sew-ins, like if you're looking for a new sew-in, you make wigs type of an option. This is so natural get into this like. Is this not the most natural? Ever my mom is doing the takedown this afternoon for me so she'll be doing the take down. I might insert some clips as I'm talking right now, but I am vlogging The Experience so check out that Vlog, where it might show it a little bit more in depth but she's doing the takedown, I'm not taking it down myself, because the last time I took Down some hair - and I cut my own braid - and I actually installed that here - so I'm not gon na chance it on here I didn't even install so I'm going to her house after that this afternoon to have her take down this hair. So hopefully it's not a hard process I'll put on screen what I would rate the take down. Um future me because now me doesn't know how I would rate the takedown at all, but I think I've covered everything I possibly can about this hair. I feel like I've left no stone unturned. If you have any questions and you've consulted the install the frequently asked questions, video you've watched this thing in its entirety and you've seen the stylings then leave it down below and I'll answer it down below. But if you think that I've covered it all Leah, you got it all covered, there's nothing. I could possibly even think of give this video a big thumbs up, even if you don't think that still give it a big thumbs up. We want all the love and support over here on this channel as well as we want you following us over on Instagram at lealavon89 Tick Tock at lealavon, and I will see you in my next video. Thank you so much for watching.
