Pauline's hair is it worth it?

Ok so a few months ago I decided that I was tired of styling my hair everyday and needed something quick, simple and fabulous! The only option I came up with was to get a sew in weave/ extensions. This way my own hair (which is a little past shoulder length) could grow and I could give it a break. I researched tons of YouTube videos and sites to find what the best hair was to buy to blend with my hair and that I could reuse. I found a place in Los Angeles called Pauline's which apparently all the stars get their hair. Or at least that's what they claim. The shop was a hole in the wall and in a sketchy neighborhood and I was wishing I had brought someone with me. They did however have very helpful staff and almost every length and texture of hair you could image of virgin Indian hair. They sell by the ounce and I bought 8oz but they gave me about an oz for free so I was very happy. I purchased 4oz of 20" natural wave which ended up being about 24" when straightened! The remaining hair was half 12" and 16" so I could get a fuller look and not have to layer the hair. I did have it installed professionally at Isis hair salon in Los Angeles and a month later all tracks are still in place and not requiring to be tightened. The hair does shed a few as a regular humans hair would when being brushed in the morning. However I do not find hair all over the place like previous installs with beauty supply hair! Also it does tangle whatsoever even with it being waist length (I am 5'11"). I get complimented everywhere with this hair and it does in fact blend great with my natural hair color and texture even when not fully straighten. I do go to the gym 4-5 days a week and it is easy to quickly gather myself when needing to go to work shortly after. I would definitely recommend this product. I will let you know what tricks I have to maintain it in future posts do stay tuned!
