Has anyone had any experience straightening the curly? Can you put a relaxer on it to make it wavy and not soo kinky???

Current install: 18" Bohyme 18/22 mixed with 613 -200 microlinks.....pre tipped by me!!! (never again!)

Hey there!

I myself have not dealt specifically with that hair inparticular, but I would imagine you could easily straighten it with a hair straightner.  Granted, this will only keep it straight until the next time you wash it.

I also am pretty sure that you could use a relaxer on it, you just risk the chance of it being very damaging as it would be to your own natural hair.

Have you had the hair for a while?  It is my understanding that a great deal of the curly haired extensions relax themselves naturally with time and washing.  This is what I have been told, as I said, I have not specifically used that hair.

Goodluck and let us know how you make out with whatever you decide!

Bohyme hair is processed.  It has been bleached/colored, and more likely then not, permed to give it a curly teture.  I would not recommend relaxing it.  Seems your best bet would be a straightening iron

I used to wear FR all the time and straightened it with an iron with great success. It stayed straight until the next wash.

I would not advise  chemically straightening Bohyme.  You will ruin the hair.
