I'm a long time subbie (4 years), and I trust your opinion, Babysis. You do all the heavy lifting, so I can reap the rewards ☺️💇🏿♀️💆🏿♀️👸🏿
Wearing this hair as we speak...week 5 and I love it..still getting compliments..I brush it at night with a detangler brush and put it in 2 big twists.
what kind of brush is it? a paddle brush or would like a tangle teaser work? 🤔 i only need this hair for a one day event but still curious!
This is also my testimony!!! I love it and get countless compliments.
I m glad you enjoyed the hair and how long it lasted. I would try this style and length but put it up in a cute ponytail 😊
You hear Lia's practice of being honest and transparent flow naturally as she will correct herself for clarity. I appreciate that.
Honesty is the best policy. I appreciate you keeping it real. Anyone feeling sensitive about it needs to suck it up. The hair does look good on camera. Still, if you're going to spend a lot of time on hair, it may as well be your own. Crochet hair should not be that tough to handle.
Agreed It’s gotta be my own if I’m spending that much time and effort
This is my fave and go to crochet hair. I have worn it as long as 6 weeks. I get sooo many compliments when I wear it. I usually do the 10” (cut 20” in half) or 14”. I brush it every night with a detangling brush, spray it with a little Wig Shine, put it up in a ponytail, and then put a bonnet on it. Have no issues with matting or tangles. I had the 20” before and didn’t like it. So sorry it didn’t work for you. 😕
All it needs is water. With this hair you have to install the right amount… too little the braids will show… too much it will tangle and matt. With this hair it really depends. So happy you got to try it 💗
Agree…too much is challenging especially with the 20”. You have to have spacing between the loops.
I am so glad you tried you tried it and I am so glad SOMEBODY finally agrees with me. This hair even in the 8 inch mats and tangles almost over night it is beautiful but it is VERY HIGH MAINTENANCE. Beautiful but EXTREMELY HIGH MAINTENANCE!
Thanks for your honesty. It's impossible for every product to work for everybody. That's why it's so great to have options.
I was soooooo waiting for you to do this review!!!! I have worn this hair for YEARS!!!!!!! It has always done well for me and I get a million compliments. I wear it for at least 6 weeks. I absolutely LOVE it!!!!! It's pretty much my signature hair. I am so sorry it didn't work for you.
I love your videos and use your opinions to decide on my purchases. Much appreciation 😊
Lol! I think the reason why the product advice was all over the place was because some people used products with alcohol in it while others didn’t. Alcohol FREE mousse and sprays (like Vigorol alcohol free mousse) work but the ones with alcohol will dry synthetic hair out and/or strip the coating off of it which then promotes tangling.
That’s exactly why I’m not a wave girl. If I have to do more than pineapple and bonnet, I don’t want it!
Exactly!!!
OG subscriber. The way I just holllllllllered.
Thank you for your honest review. I've always felt the same about that hair, and you confirmed my feelings tenfold.
The ocean wave style is my top favorite crochet hair style and I get lots of compliments on it too..I think im gonna start wearing this style more often 👌🏾🥰
On day 1 it looks so good on you! Glad that you keep it honest! I always look at your videos before I try the hair because you pull no punches on the review! I like that the background is light so you can really see the frizz and stringy parts of the hair.
Thank you cuz I need hair for Vegas if you can recommend one for me I would appreciate it thank you for November it's my birthday
I love this hair! I usually get 4-6 weeks out of it. I use a paddle brush and water to detangle with 4 large twist at night. This hair has been in the ocean and recovered. I sooo hate this did not work out for her!! I’m not taking it personal. I’m still subscribed 😂😂
😂😂😂
It's to long for one..I get this style often and this is the first time I've gotten it this long 20" and I'm week two ...I want it out now
I have been wearing crotches for over a decade. Luv your channel for your honesty. If I am in the market for a new hair, I ALWAYS watch your reviews feeling confident in the outcome. Keep it up Sis. My go-to-go-to is still Freetress Deep Wave (sometimes mixed with Presto or GoGo) or Water Wave if I need longevity. You are always spot on. Definitely a NO Drama Crochet Mama.
Lia, I am such a fan of your crochet videos. You are my go-to crochet reviewer. I knew you would not like this hair because it is HOT and as the weeks pass it gets less-soft. I think it’s meant to be worn short. I would like you to share how you care for your natural hair, include details on the type of conditioning treatments and scalp care if any. Thanks so much!
I just got Kima ocean wave installed this week. It is my go to hair. Easy to maintain for me
Thank you for your honesty!!! It’s the reason I’m so committed to subscribing to your channel.
You came… you saw… and you’ve decided ocean wave ain’t for you… girl I totally get it 💞💞💞
Sorry it didn’t work for you. It’s my favorite hair and I’ve rocked it for 8 weeks once with no problem. For me Kima Ocean wave got better as the weeks went by. Especially after I washed it. It dried fast and was softer. This hair requires some maintenance such as twisting at night but for me it was worth it. I totally understand your stance. Keep doing what you’re doing, we are here for it❤️👍🏾
Me too!
You tried!🤷 Every hair is not for everyone. TFS your honest opinion! I buy the 20" Kima Ocean Wave and cut in half. I do the same for Freetress Niagara Curl which is Freetress' version of ocean wave hair. I have even washed my hair with it it, just put it in 8-10 twists and wash my hair and the crochet hair. I'm sorry you didn't like it but not disappointed in you or your channel over it. I like your content so you didn't lose me although I LOVE Kima Ocean Wave.😄
You look beautiful in the hair…. Just love your reviews so much.
I could immediately see the difference with this hair after 3 weeks. You are right, It didn't hold up well. All of the other hairs that you've used always look good on the last week. It was so beautiful on the 1st day I would have been tricked into buying it. I am a low maintenance girl too ( unless I am doing my own hair) so Thanks for the review!
Thank you for trying the hair. I have not been able to hide the knots when I've worn this hair, I thought you were gonna come on and give us some new insight. It takes a great picture as you well know but I had to keep combing thru it paddle brushing it and Nexxus clean foam moussing it. I didn't realize what you meant by low maintenance until I tried freetress presto curl, beach curl. Then I tried finding curls where no/low maintenance was sexy. I understand now. Thank you again
The frustration was written all over your face, but "Bravo" to you! You endured! 👍
Can't wait to dive in and hear what's up with this hair even though I have no intention of trying it
Trendz in Albuquerque was my savior while I was there for work for a few months! I try to stop in whenever I’m there. Love them ❤️
I was trying to hold out hope that the Kima ocean wave was going to work out for you. Kima Ocean wave is my go to, but I will say that I think it has been manufactured differently since I first started using the hair. I ‘m getting the hair put back in next week so I will see how it holds up. It did look beautiful on you when you first installed it though.
I'm so glad you finally decided to try this hair. It is so beautiful and looks great but it is so high maintenance it's just not worth it. I don't mine some maintenance, but this hair keeps you constantly focused on trying to keep it looking good. The initial install is soft, but as it gets older and the mats and tangles set in; it does begin to feel much rougher. Thank you for a thoughtful and honest review. With that said, even with all the work needed, I'll probably install it again. 😎 Good Job!
You & your hair looks absolutely beautiful! Shout out to your Mom, she did a great job 🔥
Unpopular opinion: I’m not surprised by the review, but I believe it. tried a similar hair years ago and it went the same way. I tried to offer some suggestions in the comments so you could try things I didn’t 😅😅 just to make sure it wasn’t my fault but now I know for sure it’s just the hair
I feel you. Waves just does not work for me either. So you are not alone. I kept one in for 2 days and took it out 😫. I hated it! You do you! You know what works for you and we LOVE us some Lia Lavon😘💕
Lol I love Kima ocean wave and imma still rock with you
I’m wearing this hair as we speak. I have had it in for ten days I’m taking it out this weekend. I thought I did something wrong cuz mine is so tangled. I had trouble hiding knots and tried a leave out at the parting and non of that worked. Thanks again this is the second wave I’ve tried and it’s another fail. The hair on u looks beautiful .
I've been WAITING on this one! Thank you ❤ I live for your reviews and you have yet to steer me wrong. Your concept of NO MAINTENANCE is me!!! I don't wanna do a damn thing lmaooooo.
I appreciate your HONEST review. Whew I can't imagine 😩.
This was confirmation that I'm not crazy for taking this hair out after only about 7 days 🤣. It was beautiful on day 2 for my bridal shower, but now I'm over it. My knots are starting to show and my stylist installed it with really small pieces to prevent that and slippage but it's not giving what it's supposed to give anymore. Lol
One, I love your channel! Secondly, I love this hair, it’s so low maintenance, and it’s my absolute favorite! I use absolutely nothing on this hair, I just put it up in a high bun at night, and brush as needed. I’m so surprised!
Wow! Low maintenance!!!
That's what I do too! :)
Rotfl a brillo pad🤣 I agree wave hair is high maintenance you can't get away from it...I have the authentic ocean wave in right now it's high maintenance but I like the texture and it's soft so I had to knot it 4 times and use a flat iron on the knots to keep it from slipping. Thank you for your review on this hair💙💙💙can't wait for the next one. 😊
I love just your mom installed it… my mom does my braid down. ❤️
I love your honesty!!!!!
You definitely have an Action News voice lol I love it
New subbie here. I love your videos. I discovered your channel a few days ago. Thank you for being so thorough with: brands, install, maintenance, natural hair care, etc.
So glad you reviewed this. I did ripple deep for a trip to Jamaica for 10 days it was the worst hair ever. It’s rough and did not hold up well in the water.
Got Kima’s ocean wave in as we speak had it in for 3 weeks an it’s doing great, I brush an twist up every night an put my pink silk bonnet on an so far so good 😊🙆🏽♀️🥰🥰🥰
Hi Lia I'm newly subscribed to your channel. This hair do makes you look gorgeous🔥🔥🔥.....in the beginning then....omg when you came close up and you were separating it I was weak 😆. Love your honesty.
Ever since I saw your LA vlog, I've been waiting for this one!!! ❤️❤️
That vlog was pretty much a preview to the review lol
@@LiaLavon lol! Yeah I kind of knew from that vlog what the outcome was going to be! Lol!
Kima ocean waves 8inch and Freetress Bohemian is my go to for crotchet. They both never let me down!! Lol
I am so glad you made this video. I just do t mix with wavy crochet” it’s just too much work. It’s not fit me either. I never tried kima ocean wave cause I knew it wouldn’t work. Thank you for trying it for me. You verified my reasons for NOT trying it.
I tried Kima Ocean wave ONCE and it was high maintenance! It was installed at 12 inches and it was still too long for me so I think this hair best as a short style and will eventually try it again as short.
I only wear Kima Ocean Wave. I love love it. It is so low maintenance for me.
Same here!
This was hilarious video your personality was on 10 😅 I'm actually going to try this hair today just for the heck of it
Your right MS. Lia i prefer a spiral curl myself...wavy hair looks pretty but it doesn't last long at all
Chile thank you! The way that hair balled up on your head and fighting you back it's a hard no for me. I'm about to give ALL the packs of this I bought to my hairstylist. Let her fight with it in her head.
😂😂😂😂
I'm with you girl the only hair I love from kima is the Ripple deep and soft dred..if you think the ocean wave is bad...try the kima soul wave🥴🥴😩😩 it was a matted mess! I'm kima Ripple deep & soft dred all day..love ya girl 🥰
Oh no!!!😂😂
Once you put mousse and other wet products in the hair it will frizz! I had a quarter sized amount of blue magic and ran it through the hair once or twice a week and twisted up at night. It has lasted for 6 weeks. I even had a surgery and was on bed rest and it looked fantastic. Went to my post op follow up appointment and the medical assistant said wow your hair looks fantastic. My recommendation is to always stay away from wet products with synthetic hair!
To be honest I used to see this hair in my bbs and I would pause to wonder do you buy this brand or nah…. It looks good on some people but I would give it a pass because of other brands that I favored more than others. So at least you tried it out and it helps us to determine is it worth buying or find something else that works. Anywhoo great review can’t wait for the next one. 🔥🔥
This is my go to hair! I do no longer than 14 in you have to brush hair and twist at night for weeks wear . I’ve kept up to 6 weeks
Kima ripple deep is my favorite hair. I've worn it like 5 times. I tried kima ocean wave for the 2nd time and I only combed and twisted it up at night but I didn't like it as much as the ripple deep
I have ripple deep in now. Did you brush it out each night
@@ShakeetaTorres I just twisted my hair up every night into 6 twists and at least twice a week I would finger detangle with water only. I normally wear ripple deep 4-5 weeks.
I have worn the 8in as a bob, and I love it!
Your review was the exact experience I had & I had purchased it from Sam's beauty & when I told them I hated it, the girl was like the is one of the most bought hair. I absolutely hated it
Agreed!! If it takes more than 5 minutes to get it together it’s not the hair for me 😂 if I had or wanted 20 minutes I’d do my own hair! Thanks for the honest feedback
When I tried it, I cut it in half & wore it shorter. I liked it but it was a bit rough. I switched to Freetress Niagara because it gave me a similar vibe but felt a little softer.
For some reason I enjoyed hearing you drag this hair, lol I’m so sorry you had a hard time with it though. I’ve never tried this hair because I have a feeling it’s not going to work for me. It looked really nice the first day though, the last day not so much.
Yea that first day really gave me hope 😂
I'm proud of you for trying I don't like the look of this hair. I 💯 percent agree with you. I cant remember if you tried Joyful curl I'd love to see that!
Oh wow! I love the intro on this it's great. Waves are too much work and don't sit still for me.
LOVE, Love, Love Ombre!!! Wish more of the crochet hair would get manufactured in (true) Ombre. Toyo Tress has a beautiful Ombre Blond. Chunky color not a favorite. I use tiny strands of color to mix with the base color on every install. Time consuming but worth it for me. Color emphasize and give more drama to the crochet hair
So sorry this hair didn't work for you. Its actually my favorite go to hair. I typically keep it shoulder length. Every night I pin it up in four sections after combing it. Takes me about 5 mins tops. Around week 3 I will do a light oil spray and that's it. I will say that I do consider it my mild maintenance hair.
You are such a wonderful person ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This and Ripple Deep are my favorites. Sorry it didn't work out for you. This hair definitely does better short.
Thank you so very much. You're 100 percent right 🤔😉
I been waiting 😀😀😀😀
🇬🇧🙋🏾♀️I know people go hard for this but I know I wouldn't like it. I have tried freetress Italian wave (I think it was called) that looks very similar and liked that but I think it's discontinued because shortly after I couldn't find it anywhere. I value your opinions though 💖💖💖💖
Big hugs for Winnie at your feet 😍😍😍
Nope not disappointed. I could already tell from the look of the hair honey
My Kima braid. I love it.💕
I love your makeup ❤
Speak your truth 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your video😊😊☺
Love this wave on you even tho it didn't last long lol it does look very cute on you and that top!!! Another Amazon find?
Yep, just search bodysuits.
After watching the vlog I did kind of figure this was how the review was going to go.
Same!
This was my first hair. I absolutely hated it !!! It’s too rough, tangly and super hot ! I’m def not twisting nothing and detangling nothing at night and in the morning. I’m trynna put on a bonnet and go to bed
Exactly! If this had been my first hair I don’t think I would have ever continued trying crochet lol
I just bought and took out this hair after 1 week. I triple knotted the hair, and it still was coming loose or came out. I could run my fingers through the hair and pieces would come out. The curls are so cute, but the maintenance...😠
I have worn this hair and had gotten so many compliments! I just love the look of it, sorry it didn’t work for you.
I have this hair sitting in my stack to try. I had it before and ended up installing it on my friend. Now I'm a little worried b/c I like to keep my hair in for an extended time if I can too.
If your friend liked it then I would say go for it. As I’ve read through the comments I’ve seen that it really can be hit or miss
Lia would you ever film a crochet hairstyles video? I feel like this hair in a ponytail or half up half down would be sooo cute and round out the install/review videos! 💕
Possibly, but it would definitely have to be for a more wave style like this. Definitely styles would be hard to do with many of the hair I choose
The key is to install the correct amount, not too much and not too little. It’s a balancing act lol
You made it look good tho!!!👍🏼 We gotta meet Mama one day cuz she hooked it up!!😍❤
your so right About this hair
I had this hair years,ago i loved it then ooooh chileeee the tanglessss you hear me ? I dipped it to make it last a little longer but this baby here i wont be doing it again.
Somewhere there are ten women simultaneously applying mouse, Hawaiian Silky, brushing, wide tooth combing, finger detangling, spraying diluted CareFree Curl, using prayer hands to apply CareFree Lotion, separating hair into sections to put in twists tonight AND installing Kima Ocean wave for the 12th time. Lia, you have me cracking up! When I watched the travel vlog and day 2 looked like you put in a night shift somewhere, I yelled "What happened?!?!" 🤣🤣
This is my 2nd go to hair when I don't want a kinky curly look. Girl when you came back on the screen before you even said anything I was Like dang Sis look like she had a fight, LOL!!! But girl I luv ya! Sorry it didn't work for you.
Maybe you used too many packs!!! I love this hair. And less is better. Bush and twist up at night. Last 7 weeks 😍
I like that hair and purchase that wave pattern from another brand. I make wigs of all my crochet hair and as a result no hair gives me an issue. I take the wigs off each night.
Girlllllllll lol, "it's giving very much bottom of your 2021 list" ☝️ my favorite hair brand I swear by is Mayde, have tried their bohemian, 2xdeep, pineapple wave, loose wave, only issue I've had is with OT 27/30.
Very much so giving bottom 😂😂
With my real hair I pre wet w/wtr 1st then the 14n1. I think the same should w/this hair. Should be applying product to pre damp/moist hair. I use the as i am wtr bottles. And a woman I follow said add glycerin to wtr bottle. I use both the bottles depending if the hair needs more oil I use the oil 1. If enough oil in hair the protein 1.
😂😂😂 I've still never tried it and this let's me know I made the right decision.
Love you Lia
❤️❤️❤️
I'm not even done watching the video and I knew it was a no. I had it in 8 inches and the tangles led me to take it out after 3 weeks.
But their other short hair is decent.. I wish coco wave came in longer lengths
