The most expensive one was around $600. The cap was too small but they enlarged it for only $25--and it fits well enough now. It's remy hair, and oxidized after a while. I'm going to have it dyed soon. My experience is that if you wash them properly (as Chavi shows on the site) Yaffas are durable and last quite a while for what they are. I've moved on to a Claire now primarily because I couldn't get the ashy color I wanted, and I'm much happier with it, but my Yaffas were fine for what they were--machine made, processed human hair. Just my experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-30106907447234725012010-08-24T05:15:35.842-07:002010-08-24T05:15:35.842-07:00Interesting about the shedding.

Both are made with Indian hair-so were "old stock" which I thought was the problem. I have removed the lace backing of the mono and used knot sealetr -that seems to have fixed the proble,but maybe the knotting on Yaffa's is an intermittent problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-32373957612711871272010-08-05T08:00:55.470-07:002010-08-05T08:00:55.470-07:00In the first post, I meant:

(So it was badly attached as well.)<br /><br />Knotting is not an issue of hair origin, as long as the hair is either well aligned remy hair, or well decuticalised hair, it has no reason to tangle. Sometimes processed (=decuticalised) hair tangles, because some cuticles aren't removed properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-9765470734697242162010-08-02T23:40:16.389-07:002010-08-02T23:40:16.389-07:00Almost all long human hair wigs in the < $1000 ...Almost all long human hair wigs in the < $1000 price range are made from processed Asian hair.

Many of their wigs are also made of Asian hair which knots up and is courser than European hair. From the Ebay stock, unless the wig is over $1000 it is always Asian hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-36752052934198008342010-08-02T11:34:06.113-07:002010-08-02T11:34:06.113-07:00I had exactly the same experience with Yaffa. The ...I had exactly the same experience with Yaffa. The hair tangled and shed so badly the wig didn't last for more than 2 months. Seeing it had cost me $570 I wasn't amused. Yaffa did take it back to add hair, but added the hair in even wefts, while it had shed unevenly. I ended up with an awkward uneven piece. They applied some detangler stuff, but it didn't help at all. <br />My guess is they don't align the hair properly and don't attach it properly. Badly aligned hair will not, but not shed per se. <br />I wasn't offered any other solution than to buy a piece in the $700 price range at a $150 discount. I didn't want to take another chance at a Yaffa, obviously. Later heard many similar complaints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
