Its always a good idea to put your hair extensions in a soft scrunchie at night to stop them tangling up, especially if they are very very long and you are rough in bed and toss and turn a lot.

In the morning, take the scrunchie out, hold the extensions with the flat of your hand to support them and gently brush the ends first, and then brush through.

Never tugg, pull or snag the extensions with a comb. Always use a denham type brush which is soft and gentle and ideal for hair extensions.

I was told I was rough in bed but I was wondering what type of brush denham was? What do I do about flyaway hair?

hehe.

for flyaway hair take a dryer sheet, like one of those downy sheet thingies, and smooth it over your head.  gets rid of statik and stuff.

static guard works well too...although it smells awful...the generic version that walmart smells won't gag you too much.

be aware that silicone sprays actually conduct static!! that's why you have to be careful with static and computers....all the chips inside are just little energy balls waiting to burst w/ static electricity.

I had one from Frizz Eaze that wasn't too bad, but i bought a Queen Helene that was cheaper....and it made MUCH more static with my brushes, both horsehair and nylon.
has someone been swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool again?

Hey guys,

What's a "denham brush"... and does everyone recommend these, or is this another sales tactic? I am new to the world of extensions (I'm getting some on May 1st!!! My consultation is next Wednesday!! Yipppeee!), and need to know facts.

Thanks everyone

Denham (I'm not sure of the spelling) is just a brand name  of brushes.  I like those brushes, but I don't have my extension clients use them.  I usually have them buy the Mega looper brush (see haircandy.net) or a soft boar bristle brush.

Your local BSS will have a good assortment of brushes for a reasonable price.

i do like the dome brush, and the super looper for the roots. you can also find generic versions of denman brushes at almost any store, they have very stiff bristles with no ball on the end to snag the hair.

Here's a pic:

i send each client of mine homw with a looper brush, a pick and shampoo and conditioner, this way they are set to go. the looper brush i buy them from wimex, about $5 each. i keep an ongoing stock of everything.
