Everything Eboni

                                                              Discovering Everything Eboni

So I have had the Sessina Hair extensions and the QVR tracks for over a year, and it is time to buy new tracks lol

Not saying that I can't still re-use the hair if I provided some TLC to them, but that is not what this post is about. If you want washing and re-use techniques let me know!

So I will be the first to say that I can be impatient. When I order something I want it yesterday. 

I went to the QVR hair website but I couldn't find the hair I had previously bought (or the advertisements), So I had to go another route. 

Being a millennial what do I do? GOOGLE!

"4C sew in hair"

"4C track bundles"

"4C human hair tracks"

Can you believe the influx of BS advertisements?!?

The pictures online were from 4a/4b hair types, "Kinky Curly" they called it. But I am a black woman and I need KINKY COILY. God forbid I go out with two different hair textures like I did with my passport photo (lol)

When Google proved fruitless, I turned to social media. Specifically, Instagram. 

I came across a stylist page that used one specific brand but upon further research found out that the company had some bad reviews that were convincing enough for me to continue my search. 

I came across a picture of a woman who Had hair similar to mine when it was so picture and it turned out to be tracks to my surprise. 

This picture had the link attached to it so I clicked it. It said Everything Eboni, but it took me to a page that said wigs by Eboni, so I thought that I had gone to the wrong page, so I went back and clicked it again and it was the right page.

I felt like my search was over. So I proceeded to purchase the tracks, and I believe it was exactly as described kinky, coily. Her pack comes in 3's, but I'm pretty sure it was because there was a promotion sale going on. But I'm not a 100% sure.

She also has a by now pay later option with Sezzle, which is what I thought was really cool. 


May 16th,2024 Update:

I broke down and emailed them this morning regarding my order.  I already took out my hair because I got paint all over me from an event (I AM SELF CONSCIOUS, so I don't like going out with a hair scarf as a black woman) and I was hoping that I could get some type of update on my order (despite the order still being in the processing window)

I did notice that once I typed out my email there was no confirmation that it had been received.

She didn't respond until today. but she did say 24-72 hours (I have no idea why her turnaround time is so long). So since it was a priority it should have been delivered on Sunday, but it ended up being scheduled for Monday which is fine.... (I work from home on Mondays) but I had a feeling something was wrong so I checked the tracking 

I had a total hissy fit moment with her I am not going to lie, I took my hair out already, installed the weaving mesh, and braided down my edges. I had to cancel my hair appointment because the hair didn't arrive on Saturday.

May 26th,2024 Update

I absolutely LOVE the hair, it matches my hair when I come it out to a T! It didn't smell like a factory (I washed it anyway) the wefts were a little small but I was not disappointed when I was finished. I ordered 3 bundles ( once again I believe there was some kind of promotion going on)


Here is the Website if you are interested




Please dont judge me in the video lol I didnt mousse down my hair or did my edges in a couple days lol

Sculpt Touch LLC


It seems that my phone must have overheard me talking about waist trainers because now I'm inundated with ads for them, particularly on social media.



I used to own a waist snatcher, but unfortunately, I misplaced the main belt piece. In need of a quick replacement, I picked up an inexpensive one from Five Below. However, it turned out to be too long for my torso, making it uncomfortable to wear under my clothes.

After putting up with this discomfort for about a month, I decided it was time to invest in a new one. Without a specific preference in mind, I ended up clicking on the first ad that caught my eye.

This particular company had numerous positive reviews, which swayed me to purchase from them instead of opting for another waist snatcher from a local store. However, I've run into a bit of a snag. Although they confirmed my order and notified me that it had been shipped on April 29th, the USPS tracking number they provided doesn’t seem to work. It either shows an error or indicates there’s no information available, leaving me unsure when, or if, my order will arrive.

I'll keep you updated on how this unfolds. Fingers crossed it gets resolved soon!



Once the product arrives, I hope to provide a more detailed review. I made the purchase with my PayPal account, so if there are any issues, I should be able to request a refund through them.
I sent them an email to support@sculpttouch.com on May 5th, 2024 because the USPS website says that it doesnt seem to be a USPS tracking number.

May 7th Update. I got a response from the company who stated that the tracking wasn't registered with USPS, despite it saying it was USPS, they used something call PIGGY.

 I got the package the same day. 

I ordered a size Large according to their sizing chart, I am a seamstress in my spare time so I thought I had picked the right size for myself:



But maybe not? (I am going to re-measure myself) I had trouble zipping it up. (I pinched some of my skin with the zipper) and when I finally did get it zipped up and tied around, I had some blob overflow from my UPPER back, it  DID give me the hourglass shape though lol Just the Victorian one and not the one I was going for. 

So I believe I ordered the wrong size for myself and will be starting the return process (by sending an email to the same mentioned above because they don't answer website messages or WhatsApp) asking them to exchange it for a bigger size. 

Wish me Luck!

So May 14th, 2024 update!

I was able to get in contact with the company Sculpt Touch LLC about my exchange, and they said that I would have to pay 12.99 for restocking and 7.99 for shipping. 

The item I bought was 49.99 + tax. So I will be basically paying half the cost of a replacement. Because their policy doesn't involve refunds, I don't have another choice beyond selling this one and getting the money back locally then, buying another one.

I will be paying the fee.

May 20th, 2024 Update

I paid the fee on Friday the 17th but I didn't get a response back from them until today Monday May 20th,2024. 

Yes, I understand they are shipping from China.

I will update you once I get the right size.

May 29th, Update!

I received the new waist trainer, yesterday. The XL was a little easier to put on than the L. (I didn't pinch my stomach fat on it at least). I went to a high-intensity workout with it on and sweated more than with my waist belt from Five Below. 

The band is wider than the Waist Snatcher but shorter than the one from Five Below. I definitely feel the synching lol  I have done a total of two workouts with this thing on and I am a fan. I will update you all later with a progress post. 

So I paid the restocking and shipping fee and when I asked them about what do I do with the old waist trainer they said that I could keep it. A little annoyed because I was under the impression that they were going to request a shipment back to them of the old waste trainer but they did not so I got a waste trainer for half the cost So I'm wondering if I could just buy another waste trainer and instead of paying 50 something dollars for it I would just pay 20 something dollars for it and get another size. I don't know how many times you can exchange something with this company. 

I didn't have a bad experience with this company even though I really didn't want to pay the extra money to get it replaced I was hoping they might have a free exchange option, but you have to know who you're buying from and more than likely if you're buying from overseas that will not be the case.

If I do decide to by from them again I probably will jump to 3XL next time. I am 207 which would put me in the 4XL category but I don't know if I even need to go up that high. Once again I would just be mindful of the sizing.
