It has a healthy kinda look to it!! How long did you soak in Olive
oil and did you apply the shine drops while wet or afterwards
when dry?
I think the indian hair will look even better with your same
treatment.
I could not soak this hair because it was on my head allready. I put it on in the shower, then over the oil I use my conditioner(I have many).I switch between the olive and Nature's therapy hot oil. The drops I put little while wet then little once dry.
I Think the thing about the indian hair from these companys is that the cuticle needs to be softened with the oil then it will except the conditoner. The cuticle shuts down tight the further it is from your scalp. Thats why with coloring virgin hair the rule for the length is shade lighter and one level up for peroxcide. I have high hope for my new batch since I think the color I use will be gentler than what ever they are using

I made a blend of castor oil (another OUTSTANDING hair oil) and virgin olive and some essential oils and gave all the remy wefts a moisture bath. The hair is as slippery as butter and mega shiny. Plus, they smell of peppermint. Oooooo lala!
I think Amm you have another seller for your site!! I got the drops at work. We use to carry it. Go to the J beverlyhills site and do a salon search for retalior by you. Soaking the wefts in olive oil is the way to go K-B.
Hey KB, I just filled the kitchen sink with hot water and poured in some olive oil and swished a bit. I used quite a bit ! No measuring This was for the weft I wasn't wearing . The one on my head I just grab straight from bottle and run a fair amount thru my hair mabe a tablespoon guess it depends on how much hair you have in.
Just today I read at another board about the positive effects of olive
oil and I tried it. (I`m wearing curly extensions,in combination with
wefts, it is untreated indian hair but the cuticle needs to be
straighten. It looked kind of frizzly, especially after I washed it...I
tried several conditioners but nothing ) Well, today I put some olive
oil in my extensions (in the dry hair) and I was smelling like a greek
salad...But the result was great. I washed it out and - the hair wasn`t
frizzly any more. It is a cheap solution...@marie87,Please could you
tell me what are these J beverly hills drops? Your hair looks great...
Thank's guy's!! KB I think if you use to much it wont mater. I think I put about hmmm 5 tablespoons worth in. But the weft I soaked I did wash lightly after so I could pre tip. In shower I use same amount I would any conditioner. Just pour some in this case I would rather have to much you can wash it out after. The drops go to www.jbeverlyhills.com and do a search for retailor. There the gloss drops in the pump bottle. Now I can't wit to try that polmer cross link treatment on that new post. I think that may strenth the blond wefts I have.
ok marie. I was trying to get it right, because I thought using
too much would be bad. Also, I have the Biolustre stuff, so when u get
yours maybe u can give me some tips on using that too.
I've been having decent luck with the olive oil in my Fina hair, which is starting to get a bit dry and poufy after 5 weeks. It works better than the various frizz and shine creams I'd been using, I think. But I'm out to hunt locally for something like this: http://lizarddreaming.southwestcuisine.com/jojobaoil.htm I'll buy it online if I can't find jojoba at a reasonable price around here. (Amm, do you have any to try? I used to use it for making toiletries and such.) From what I understand, jojoba oil is closest to the body's natural sebum, so it seems like it'd be appropriate for long, parched hair.
Darn I could not get to that site but jojoba oil sounds good couldn't hurt. My hair actualy feels better now then it did when I frist put it in and I think I'm going on 6 or 7 weeks! I have lost track of time KB if it's to much it will just feel oily in which case just give it a shapoo. I think puting oil in every time I wash is why it still looks so good. I will let you know how it goes with the biolustre once I order it. I still think Amm has another selle, better smelling than the olive oil I bet!

Hey, just an FYI, I read on the longhair board about someone who used the biolustre and did not have very good results with it. I guess once you use it, you have to be careful of what you put onto your hair. I will try and find the link and post it.

Thank G! It still sounds like what ep is using on the soft wear hair. I guess if i get it I will just try it on a small amount of hair frist,like the blond stuff I have. It's interesting about mixing natural products with it. May be after useing it you should stick with Downy like synth hair needs he he!
