Black Russian hair

Just a word of caution. The black Russian hair bleeds a bit so make sure you rinse/wash it before using it for rooting. It’s beautiful once rooted, though.

Thank you! I haven’t ordered a dark color yet but I will keep this in mind!

The blond hair I got was a totally different color after I washed it. Not a problem since it was a lovely light blond, but there were seeds or something in it also. I think it is sent without being treated. At the price, I don’t mind working a little. It is difficult to judge the color from the pictures though.

What do you use when washing your hair? I haven’t found any debris yet, but I have only bought 4 batches.

I haven’t gotten any with debris. I use baby shampoo and follow with a little conditioner.

Did you order from Unwashed selection? I found all 4 batches that I ordered very clean, but I order from Reborn selection. However I am wondering since we provided so much business/ orders for Olga that she might drop in a quality, which is not good.

I think she may have gotten very busy, very quickly.

I used some of her coloured hair recently (turquoise) and it started to bleed so I washed it in hot water and that took care of it. Typically her reborn specific hair is fine…no bleeding and all of mine has been clean. I typically only buy her “reborn” hair but I wanted the colour so I bought some of the other hair.
She may well be overrun with orders at the moment and its probably hard to keep track of it all.

Thank you I did buy some for the baby I am currently painting!

OK, I think this is a different person from whom I bought my mohair. Her name is not Olga but Victoria. I thought I used a link but may have stumbled onto a different site. I got mine from someone in Russia through Etsy. I’m not complaining. As I said, it is beautiful hair and really reasonable. This is the picture from the ad and the picture of the doll I rooted with it.

Thank you for the compliment. That really encourages me. But this one is a keeper. She is a portrait baby of my great granddaughter Ariah.

Wow, what a wonderful resemblance! She is a heart stealer❤️

Taunya, you did meant link for the Etsy hair store, correct? Based on reply of @pschomaker I think Phyllis though that you are asking for a doll link. But I might be wrong with my English interpretation :wink:

I did misunderstand about the link. Here is one to the shop where I got the bargain hair.
