Treating hair w/ Nits :[

hi koffee :)

hairpiece.com does have one, it's their 'signature' topper:
http://www.hairpiece.com/product.asp?pf_id=TP%2DTSM%2D18

I will admit it was an ugly thing when i first rec'd it, it felt icky, and looked nothing like a #33 - then i washed it a few times, on the recommendations from the wigsupport group. This a 'real' picture of it:

Also, it's a *very* thick fall, and it wasn't quite the 18" advertised - maybe only 10 strands were actually that long .  I was left with about 14-15 inches after getting it trimmed up hehe :)  I'm not totally sure if it's really "Remy" as advertised, either - I didn't have troubles with it either way, until I fried it with constant flat-ironing (it does have a bit of wave).  I'm really rough on hair, and the only way I can tame the little beast now, is to soak it in a mix of olive oil/deep conditioner and use lots of xtra-strength frizz ease hehe

Chances are good that I'll be getting another one in the near future, tho :)

Wow Aeone,

It looks really good. Can't wait to see what I get. But I hope I don't have to deal with nits.  Thanks for the info.

I guess I'm just hoping for a bit of reassurance, hehe - I've had lice quite a few times as a youngster in the village, and I don't think I can stand a repeat occurance.

Hey Aeone,

How was the construction of your pieces from hairhumanhair? Also how was the hair quality? Thanks

Thanks for the link....I'll know what to look for. I assumed they looked like dandruff cause other people described them as being little white balls and such.

ha ha x

They aren't that frightening, they're just like a big flea if you've ever had pets, but they don't jump x

Ha ha, its the fourth time I've done this lady and the second time I've seen one.  Seeing as I didn't catch them last time, I wasn't that horrified this time when I saw one.  She has loads of kids and she says there is one filthy mother that doesn't treat her kids at school so her kids keep catching them, and she's damned if she's going to stop cuddling her kids she says LOL xx

If you think that's gross, I got around a client's ear installing extensions and saw a live lice last night and it was pretty big, now I'm itching and scratching and itching and scratching and am sure I've got them now LOL.  I know its doubtful I have because they have to crawl from her head to mine and it didn't move that fast even when I poked it with a comb and it was the only one I saw on her head.  She came with her new boyfriend so I had to text her to tell her after she had gone LOL.

I wouldn't bother with a flea comb, best thing is get in the sunlight or the best light you can get and get those finger nails in there xx

That's what I'd like to know as well. Does it look like dandruff or something?? I ordered some hair from indianhairs.com....I'm already prepared to wash and disinfect
