SqueezeTheShaman- my hair is also extra extra oily...not able to shower at night b/c i feel like a big greaseball in the morning. Lately since getting a sew- in weave with gross, tangly human hair i wasn't able to wash everyday, and i honestly feel like now my scalp is producing less oil...i could go 3-4 days if i wanted now. I also use a tea tree oil shampoo (bss generic brand) and that seems to keep it quite clean.
i think the waiting a few days between washing has really helped a lot in keeping down the oil, more so than a particular brand of shampoo or anything.

yes i noticed that too! I stopped washing it every day, when I started to stay home and not work, and it has gotten better. And it totally makes sense. Doens't have to produce as much, when it is still there...And yeah, I was planning on lookin for tea tree or peppermint, thought that was good for oil too. thanks

The keratin glue....that link you posted to afropuff, do I need to get the gun and that whole kit to pretip with keratin?? I am a bit confused.
I've never used the keratin glue, just the waxy one. I made the mistake of buying the whole kit when all I needed was the sticks and a $5.00 hot pot from Michaels.
I heat the glue up in the hot pot, dip it and make my tips.
I've never worked with Keratin before but I think you can buy the sticks and melt them in a hot pot or a glue gun also. Glue guns and hot pots cost under five bucks. You can get them at Michaels or Walmart.
With fusion there's two types of glue, the waxy stuff that comes off with oil and keratin that comes off with acetone. Torain is the waxy glue and to behonest, I'm convinced it's the same stuff that you get at Michael's or any other art supply store for .20 cents.
I'm a bit confused... are you referring to the clear craft glue sticks? Have you used glue sticks from Michaels? Good to know Torrain breaks down with oil vs. acetone. I've heard mixed reviews on Torain.
On one of the toupee sites I ran across they recommended using a cotton ball dipped in alcohol and clean the roots before applying the toupee tape, I wonder if that might work for oily hair and shrinkies/microlinks?
