new to human hair - what takes away the poof?

any of those silicone serums,    i like the one in the SAMY line (i bought it because the dispenser is cute and pink, but it actually is a good product)....i put it down the length while my hair is still damp

I really like the Matrix sleek line, the shampoo and conditioner are a great prep and really work great.  I like the styling cream and serum also, but I don't like the flat iron spray at all.  I also don't like the waxy stuff in the jar, but I forget what that is called.

I would only suggest these products if you are wearing your hair straight since it makes it so straight and smooth that it is hard to curl even with hot rollers (my curl fell out in a few hours in hair that holds all day with other shampoos/conditioners).  I also only use it on the extension hair, since when I use it on my real hair it makes it too fine and silky to cover the microrings I added on the top (most of my real hair is in cornrows since I have the sew in's, the only natural hair I have left out is on top and of course I added microrings to it lol).  My natural hair is curly, and even though it is fine it has a coarse texture to it that makes it cover just about anything up, except for when I use this stuff.

for straight hair-  i use pureology straight line, shamp and cond

What kind of hair are you using? That could have a lot to do with it. And the less heat you use on your extensions the longer they'll last. :)

sharbin54- I am using seamless wefts from glamour hair.  The hair doesn't seem to be all that great unfortunately :(

malibu - I have used human hair in the past but I have much more experience with synthetic.  At first I thought I just didn't remember how to care for human hair, but now I realize The His and Her and bohyme that I used had a much nicer texture than the hair on these seamless wefts.
