ok i have a idea. Im taken it back to the day we had the pink spunge rollers in the hair. Set those things in your have really good. nice and tight.. Go take a hot shower the hotest water that u can stand run it over your head for as long as u can stand. then blot it dry with a towel rap your hair in a really tight rag or a due rag thats what those things r called its best if u get a due rag(u can get it at Sallys).. go to sleep when u wake up i think theyll be good....another way is to just sit under a dryer.
Good ideas, Kris. I think both would work. Sherrie also conducted some experiements with Prostyles and velvet hot rollers last night, which worked well with dry hair, too--and didn't frizz up the ends (which is also a concern).
I think the whole synth thing will just take a bit of getting used to. After dealing with human hair for so long, you just get used to handling the strands in a certain way. So this should be a learning experience for all of us....
That should work fine with human hair, but waves in human hair are activated by moisture. Waves in synthetic are activated by heat, and it needs to be close to boiling, which is a lot hotter than your shower can get or your scalp can handle.
I'd have to say the nicest waves I ever had in my own hair were when I got caught in a rainstorm and drenched with my hair in a crown braid.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?
I'm not sure I understand. You said "waves in human hair are activated by moisture" and "waves in synthetic are activated by heat," but wouldn't this only be true if your human hair is wavy to begin with? My hair is pin-straight, and no amount of moisture makes it wavy--only heat, as in a curling iron or hot rollers, will give it any curl at all. In fact, moisture makes it straighter.
I'm not trying to "split hairs" or anything here (forgive the awful pun); I'm just trying to understand.... Are you saying that synth hair actually behaves more like naturally straight human hair, regardless of how it was manufactured (i.e., to be wavy, straight, or curly)?
No, what I was saying was that if you wet human hair, set it into a shape, then dry it, it will (probably) take a wave.
If you try the same thing with synthetic hair, it will have no effect (clearly).
My point was that the hot water temperature that your scalp can handle is not hot enough to soften the synthetic plastic fibers so they can cool in a wave or curl formation.
