I Hated the First Batch of Mourning Hair

September 25, 2025

Let’s rewind.

The first time I held Mourning Hair in my hands, I was buzzing. I thought this was it. I thought I’d nailed it.

The bundles looked thick.
The wefts were full.
On paper, everything checked out.

But when I went to install them?

It was a nightmare.

The hair swelled.
The seams were bulky.
There was way too much hair per weft — and not in a good way.

I remember thinking:

“This is not it. Not even close.”

Sure.
I could’ve slapped my logo on the packaging, written a cute caption, and sold it to stylists who trusted me.

But I didn’t.

Because Mourning Hair was never meant to be a shortcut.
It wasn’t built to be another private label copy-paste job.

It was meant to be better.

And to do that, I had to get it wrong first.

You don’t get high-integrity wefts by just asking a factory for “Remy hair” and hoping for the best.

You get it by:

Round one of Mourning Hair was a failure.

But it taught me exactly what not to settle for.

Every weft you touch now is the result of months of no’s, of trial-and-error, of choosing quality over convenience.

No shortcuts.
No fluff.
No inflated claims.

Just wefts that install clean, stitch easily, and hold up behind the chair — because that’s what artists actually need.
