Jamaican Bounce Hair Review
I bought this hair at the beginning of April. I was looking to do something new with my hair (I've been wearing wigs for over a year now). I came across videos on crochet braids and this hair and decided to give it a try. *Note that this was my VERY FIRST TIME doing crochet braids* I did a lot of research on methods to install and maintain the hair before purchasing. I installed the hair on Friday April 13. It has now been three weeks, and there are some pros and cons I've discovered since having it in:
PROS
Love the curl pattern, it's very natural looking (once you separate and style), almost like a flexi rod set. The longer you wear it, the more natural it begins to look (with care). The definition of the curl really lasts also. I experienced little shedding, even with manipulation/styling, though I tried to stay out of my hair as much as possible.
When properly maintained, this hair will last a while. I've heard that some have made this hair last for upwards of two months, but I can't attest to that. I have made it last three weeks so far, so that's a decent amount of time in my opinion.
This hair is versatile! I get bored of having the same old look, so I like to switch it up. I have worn this hair in a curly fro, updo, half up/half down, with scarves and headbands, made faux bangs, etc. There are many styles that can be created and I love it.
CONS
This hair is super synthetic. I've heard this hair is really soft, but that wasn't the case for me. I'm not sure if it's because I bought it off Amazon, and maybe it wasn't authentic (though it was sold directly from the manufacturer I believe), but the hair is kind of stiff and rough. The longer I've worn it, the better it's gotten, but I was expecting a softer texture.
Tangles badly when not maintained. If you are not doing the basic maintenance for this hair (trimming frizz and knots, wrapping your hair at night, etc.) then it can get tangled and matted. This can be solved by properly caring for it to prevent these issues, though.
Frizzes out of control when you separate. Upon installing this hair, I separated the hair to use as few packs as possible. As I separated, I noticed the hair got frizzy immediately. I used olive oil on the strands before separating and that seemed to help some. I also tried re-twirling the hair and that helped a bit too.
I used four packs of hair for my head and I love the results. I could have separated more of the strands in the back to use less hair. I was easily able to moisturize my scalp using a spray bottle and a bottle of oil with the narrow nozzle. To maintain my hair this long, I trimmed when needed and separated strands to prevent matting and tangling. I put the hair up in a high bun and wrapped a scarf around it (front to back) before bedtime. In the mornings, I take off the scarf, remove the band, and moisturize as needed. I fluff out the hair and style however.
I plan on wearing this until the one month mark, then taking it down. I think this hair will hold up a few more weeks without issue, but I'm not interested in going two months without a full blown wash. This was mostly a first run to see how the hair would hold up. I have gotten many compliments on my hair and people think it's natural. Would definitely purchase again, I recommend doing research on maintenance for those worried about preserving the style.
I still give this hair five stars because in spite of the cons, the hair has performed very well, and there are ways to get around those issues.

I loved it! I did this install for a party and it held up pretty well! I read some other reviews that had complaints of frizz so after separating the pieces, I LIGHTLY sprayed with a diy water/leave-in-conditioner/oil mixture and twisted the curl around my finger in the pattern of the curl (I didn't need to do this for all, just the pieces that got really frizzy after separating). I mixed up the size of the curls that I put in; I took one full curl and separated into two to three pieces in the back. In the front/sides of my face, I did four+ (I did really small pieces on my edges and along my middle part in the front, using the knotless method to ensure a more natural look). I cut/layered a little in the front, just so it could fit my face the way I wanted. This was my first time using this type of hair, I will definitely use again, most likely in a different color. I received many compliments on my hair that night and everyday after.... Many thought it was my natural hair. I've had it in for about a week and a half now, no retouching... Just a little frizz but still looks nice!

I love this hair, I purchase it every month. Split each piece into 2, 3 or 4 sections to make the hair look as natural as possible. If you install it as the package comes it'll look unnatural. It lasts a long time if you, a night before bed, put it in a ponytail at the top of your hair and wrap your head (back to front) with a silk scarf leaving the top curls out. In the morning, I fluff my hair out and spray with the Olive Oil hair sheen. I wash my hair once a week, and clip the ends to have a fresh look, but pat the hair with a towel and allow it to air dry. The hair is synthetic, but with proper treatment, it lasts about a month and a half. I've worn my hair in this style since November 2016 and I think it's my new permanent hair style. Good luck ladies, I promise you won't be disappointed I get compliments all of the time. For pictures check out my Instagram: sugarcomabakery

Good Quality and Quantity for the Price (I paid $28.49)
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2017
I really like this hair, the quality was fine for me especially considering the costs. I used only 2 1/2 packs of the hair. I wore my style for 8 weeks. (Dec 12, 2016 - Feb 7, 2017) It does however separate or shed easily. Which is why I employed multiple things after install. One thing I DID NOT do was separate the strands more than 4 times. I used a combination of 2 and 4 separations per piece as I installed the hair. I wore my bonnet on my head while at home and when not doing anything in public (for two reasons: 1- I hate loose hair on my neck, 2- I didn't want to agitate the hair too much due to the easy shed/separation). The longer I wore the style the more natural it looked to me and I liked the older look better than the fresh look. The hair still had a considerable amount of the original bounce to it even upon taking the hair out. I also cut the shreds once or twice a week (being careful not to cut the hair that was still bulked together creating the curl). I will post a couple pictures with dates so you can get a good idea of how the style progressed. I cut the style a couple times to get the loose hair off my neck so you'll notice a progression in the length shortening. But overall, I was very satisfied with the hair and how much you get for the price. I don't know why some others had such issues with the hair but maybe they wanted a hair style that required absolutely NO maintenance. This style requires very little maintenance in my opinion.
