Interesting--I guess all the brushing with that (nylon?) brush does the trick. I thought that would damage the hair, but I'll be getting one of those babies now!
I actually saw a bottle of Biosilk at Ricky's today--it was $39.99 *gulp* although it was a fairly big bottle. Is it really the best, or what? Does anything work as effectively, or is it basically the only game in town?
:)
Edited to say: She bleached your roots with the pinchbraids in? Did she let the extensions air-dry afterward?
i bought a $12 bottle of biosilk. it supposedly lasts forever. the brush was not like any i have in the house. it's little balls were teeny tiny like none i had evr ever seen. and she just had me use the tup of it and made me start at the bottom REALLY light. she really WATCHED my brushing technique.
she blowdried it bc she didn't want me to get sick but did not brush it while blow drying. she did bleach it while the pinchbraids were in. synthetic (these kinds) do not take any color
mm i will get the brand later it was from sally's (i have to leave to go talk to the preist.) my hair is up to hide the pink, the majoriroty is in a bum, only 4 streaks show, not bad, huh!!!
uhm, cross, i have not tested the generic, i will not until aftet i wash it but i will post it in this thread as soon as i do, prolly not for days.. i am not going to wash it until i have to... jenna made this hair beautiful and i am not going to do anything to screw it up
thank you thank you thank you again.. jenny, i amost recommend if philly isn't too far, (it's really 30 min north of philly) going to get your roots done by jenna next time she will have your hair looking awesome and you can have a fresh start

Thanks, Mer. I'll definitely keep Jenna in mind. Tomorrow I'm actually going to Isaac to get steamed (and cut), and my hair is actually looking quite a bit better now (as I learn to work with it more and more), so I think we're all on the right track.
I'm so thrilled we've discovered synth--hehe... My biggest problem now is that I've been cutting the ends randomly (as I've been experimenting with it, I've fried a few ends here and there, so I really need it razor cut again). I'll probably post more pics tomorrow, to show what the steaming does.
And by the way, I really like the Biosilk--thanks for the tip. It's well worth the price, imo. :)
PS--Have you washed it yet since Jenna (not the roots, but the actual length of the hair)? :)
Hehe...I just got two brushes today. One looks exactly like the one you posted, the other has somewhat thicker bristles (I think the first is nylon, the second is plastic). Anyway, they work really well on this hair. Usually (with human), I only use a boar brush, and that still may be good for final styling and smoothing, but I think the stronger bristles are key for really detangling and smoothing the hair out. Isaac told me to get one of these when I got my hair done, but I forgot about it, and I think I also read something that said to only use boar's hair.... Well, better late than never!
By the way, if I used either of these harsher brushes on my real hair, it'd be trashed--lol! :)
