QuoteReplyTopic: Dena Cali hair Posted: January 11 2007 at 3:19pm
Ok, the BSS hair from my last install went to crap after a week so I took it out.
I went to Colorado Springs (36 miles from me) and spent the day touring hair places. I found a hair supply store and I got 2 packs of 24 inch color #33 hair by Dena Cali. Its gorgeous hair and I paid $70 per pack which I didnt think was bad considering its 24 inches. I installed it yesterday with tape. Its doing well.
Does anyone here have experience with Dena Cali? I had never heard of it before.
I also had a crazy idea that I was wondering if anyone out there had tried?
We have very hard water in Pueblo. I put Epsom salts in my bath water. I was thinking of mixing some Epsom salt with water and putting it in a spray bottle and spraying my hair after I wash it. Kind of a leave in conditioner. Epsom salts are a natural softening agent. Im going to try it tonght but if anyone else has tried it let me know.

Yeah...I've used it, and do you it when in a bind. It's not too bad. I've gottem some good batches and some bad. The hair hasabout a 4-6 week lifespan.
Never tried Epson...but I have been known to use a sea salt solution to try and recreate "beachy" hair.
Ok so I must have gotten a bad batch because I washed it once and its turned into a Brillo pad. And it only bunches up by my ears.
Ive tried numerous sprays and creams and it still bunches up.
I washed it again last night and put a ton of conditioner on it and let it sit for about 10 minutes, rinsed, finger combed and blow dried and it still bunches up.
I always blow dry my hair, thats the one common demoniator, and this always happenswith my extensions so Im wondering if its the blow drying? I use the medium warm setting. I dont use hot.
Any ideas? I love this color and the length and Id hate to take it out but I dont have time to brush my hair every 5 minutes.

so sorry to hear Em. I used the Dena Cali several years ago. It actually held up for over 8 weeks. I cant say it wore like remy hair. But it was manageable for that period of time.
Blowdrying *shouldnt* cause that kind of problems, And if youve already tried several products there may not be much hope.
Hey Gina, by EVOO Im assuming you mean extra virgin olive oil. Do I just put it in a spray bottle and spritz it on? and do I spritz it on wet hair or dry? Someone at worked suggested ironing my hair and my daughter has a straight iron so Im going to try that tonight I think. Would I put the EVOO on before I iron it?

Thats what I was afraid of Sherrie. I guess Ill just wear it in a braid, it makes a nice long fat braid and I really hate to take it out.
