Review title is Thick hair, but U-tips are huge for fine hair. Removal breaks natural hair. Please see update! [SEP] My once beautiful long hair is finally growing back in from chemotherapy for breast cancer. I had had it bonded by my hair salon about 6 months ago with Cinderella bonds that shed like a cat almost immediately and had hair that was split and damaged before I ever even washed it.<br /><br />I took a chance on ordering 2-18 inch packs of #613 and 2-16 inch packs of #613 of Sunny hair. The hair looked beautiful and was a perfect match for my own color, but there is no way of telling until it's been washed, conditioned and blown out over a few weeks to really know how it will hold up.<br /><br />My stylist, who specializes in hot fusion bonds, put in 1 pack of the 18 inch Sunny hair (50 U tips) and one pack of Cinderella hair (25 U tips) 5 days ago. I have very fine hair and a tiny head, so more would not have been possible (this amount also equals a full head of hair for me). We are experimenting to see which hair holds up better.<br /><br />After one wash, conditioning and blow dry yesterday, the high priced Cinderella hair was tangling in the middle, while the Sunny hair stayed tangle-fee, but did shed quite a bit. The Sunny hair has more weight to it than the much more expensive hair though and combed out better.<br /><br />One star off for how huge the actual keratin U-tip are and the shedding. My stylist tried to cut some of the tip off with great difficulty. This is an FYI for those with fine hair or those who want to be able to pull it back without the bond showing (the more expensive type has much smaller Keratin u-tips).<br /><br />I will update this review after 4 weeks in, but for now, I'd like to thank other reviewers for their input as it helped me choose Sunny hair. You were all correct in saying the hair is thicker than most online hair, even though each strand is a bit different in strand width, health and quality. As the industry is unregulated, it's hard to know what you're getting and with blonde hair, just how much processing went into coloring the hair (causing damage).<br /><br />If my Sunny hair holds up well, my stylist, who does at least 10 hot fusion bondings per month on clients, will be ordering directly from Sunny hair instead of the company that charges $125-$150 per pack. We are both hoping this is the case.<br /><br />I hope others will try this brand  and leave reviews on their experiences. Also, if this is your first time with bonds, please remember on length that it's not going from the top of your head. The lower layers will fall much longer - I'm 5'7 with a long neck and the 18 inch lower tiers fall just a few inches above my waist.<br /><br />UPDATE: please don't buy this hair if you value your natural hair.<br />It's impossible to remove the bonds without breaking your own hair.<br />It breaks, frizzes, knots up like crazy if in a warm climate.<br />I loved those first packs until summertime. Absolutely awful in heat and humidity. I couldn't get a brush through the hair. It would just snap off. The knots were horrific. I had my hairdresser try to remove and this is more like crazy glue on the bond than keratin.
