I will NEVER claim to be an expert on ethnic hair
but I AM learning!
Alethia LONGS for long hair.
(did you see what I did there?:)
Ahem...
and as soon as I saw a friend tweet pictures of her new "do" I just had to try it.
So, I went to Wal-mart and bought:
black yarn for about $1
art/craft beads for about $1.50
and I already had the rubberbands (under $2)
I cut the yarn into 8-9" pieces
Then I divided her hair into little sections
(just like I do for almost every other hairdo I try)
I took 3 strands of my pre-cut yarn and rubberbanded it to the root of each little section of hair.
I divided each small section of hair into 3 sections.
One for each strand of yarn.
Then I braided it all together.
The trick was to make the braid tight at the root and loosen as I go
so it doesn't look half the size once the hair runs out and only yarn is left.
Then, at the end of each braid I added a bead at the bottom.
Pulling the very end of the (yarn) braid through the hole and folding it up to the top of the bead.
The last step is to add another rubberband over the bead.
Then all you have to do is play around with different styles by adding ponytails and hair clips!
Because we all know that a hairstyle is only as good as the smile being worn with it:)
This took me about 5 hours on and off.
I know, a little overwhelming to think about, but I haven't had to touch it in almost a week!
I guess all those years of playing with My Little Pony hair is finally paying off!
P.S. She walks around bobbing her hair all sassy-like now that she has "long" hair...

What an awesome Mama.... :) And what a beautiful girl!
Human hair extensions often carry the term “Remy hair”. This term has taken many different meanings. Indian Remy Hair extensions are the most popular type of virgin remy hair weave. It is spelled Remy (most popular) or Remi.
1st thought:
Virgin Indian hair uses the term “Remy” to refer to hair that has been prepared with all cuticles intact and aligned, pointing downward. This is preferred to prevent tangles and allow Virgin Remy hair wearers the flexibility of being able to treat the hair exactly as they would their own. Indian hair without a cuticle cannot be heated, colored, relaxed, etc…
Virgin Indian remy hair, such as that which Wondepot Extensions sells, is revered as the pinnacle of human hair extensions. The industry standard for hair extensions, which you will find in most hair stores, is to boil off the cuticle, soak the hair in acid, then bleach it, color it, and dip it in silicone. The hair is boiled and dipped in acid to disinfect it. This makes it easier for factories to mass produce hair without having to take time to wash each bundle by hand, as Wondepot does. The hair is then bleached to the lightest possible shade and then color is redeposited. Finally, the hair is dipped in silicone to disguise the immense damage that has been done to each strand. The silicone gives the hair a silky finished appearance that wears down quickly, especially if introduced to shampoo or water! Virgin Indian Remy hair treatment is far more gentle than the process described above.
Virgin Remy human hair is hand washed to disinfect it. Then it is sorted through to remove short, inverted and gray strands. The Virgin Indian quality is maintained by hand preparing the hair in every step.
2nd thought:
Some believe that “Remi” in Indian Remi hair is short for the word “remit” which refers to the process in which Indian women and men “remit” their hair to the gods as a thanks or sacrifice.
3rd thought:
Others believe that the term Virgin “Remy” hair or Indian Remy hair is hair that has been gently processed, unlike Virgin hair which is completely unprocessed. The benefit hair that has been gently processes is that the wearer receives a more finished product, as opposed to raw virgin hair. The benefit for true virgin hair is that it is completely unprocessed and therefore the most healthy and versatile.
4th thought:
It is also thought that sellers call hair “Remi” instead of “remy” only when it is not true remy (live aligned cuticle) hair.
Wondepot offers truly virgin Indian Remy hair. Our Virgin Remy human hair is completely unprocessed, and has been carefully prepared by hand to create a finished product that will last a long time if properly cared for.Oder cheap hair extensions with high quality now,many discounts.
