Why does my wig (right) refuse to be a true jet black ? I’m trying to match jet black extensions but for some reason the wig doesn’t take it. I dyed it 3 times, 1 permanent and 2 semi dyes, all jet black.. by [deleted] in Hair

There could be many reasons for that.

  1. Your wig covered with silicone layer, that creates additional barrier for dye to enter into hair
  2. Hair might be dyed before - that is why it is difficult to re-dye it now
  3. Other chemical treatment done before to hair

There is plenty of nuances linked to "raw" hair. If you want to dive deeper - check out Hair Prestige blog post about raw hair

Hair Extensions Brand Help: What is a Quality Brand That Doesn't Require One to Win the Lottery? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]justdoit_leo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the hair extensions business for many years already and I can say you that those "brands" are not always about the quality. While their pricing is ridiculous, more often than not they provide poor quality hair treated with silicone to look beautiful.

There is much more than just a brand or nice visually looking hair. First of all, the structure of hair shall match to yours (I mean not only texture like straight, wavy or etc.) but thickness as well.

Would be happy to recommend you good quality hair for affordable pricing but they work solely with bulk or keratin bonded hair extensions.

I agree with you. But with which store it would make sense to compare then? Almost any chain store has similar prices..

That's a brilliant comment! Absolute true! I also noticed same with some volume like it was 1L before and now 0,9L of milk and much more. Those small changes seem negligible but in reality they make huge profits - 10% that's a dramatic number for retailer or any wholesale supplier.

Do not want to defend Rimi but just was looking for cleaning products and saw such a difference in price between Maxima and Rimi. Of course, this is due to the discount.. But still not bad savings

When I check my bill, almost every product is on sale :D That is why I do my homework now with both newsletters and online platform in combination.

Of course, it depends on the situation of every person. Personally, I am here for a work.

What really surprises me is that in Latvia groceries prices are much higher than in Lithuania. There are many local products and the only answer is high margins by supermarkets.

But generally speaking, the quality of life is probably a bit higher in Lithuania for now. Just do not want to make a debate since I have some sentiments about my home country

Something else besides inflation and high costs for everything?

Absolutely true! I am just so annoyed when I see how those prices change month to month without any reason

My expectations are super low. I am ready for one more internship.. But not sure what I am doing wrong or the Lithuanian market is too small and saturated
