Question about wavy WaWa

sherrie - I'm doing nothing at all. It's unreal. I'm just over the 2
month hump and I couldn't be happier with it. (I'll upload some pics
as soon as I can get on a PC). I had a change of plan and will do an
RK install with shrinkies but after that I'm planning to go right back to
Plastikhaar. Oh wait. I've got ProHair. Maybe I'll do that after. Maybe
with heatseals! LOL, so many great options here. :)

I've trimmed a bit off and am LOVING the length. I am between bra
strap and waist length and the hair just swings and moves and feels
so light.

My routine is so simple - I do a full wash at least 2 times a week and
up to 4 times now that it's getting hot and I'm more active outside. I
use hot water all the time. I'm not giving that up for anything! :) I do
have a huge water softener for the whole house and I think this is a
major plus for my hair. I've been in hotels and used regular water
and my hair never feels as soft and smooth as when I'm home. I use
Tigi Bedhead & Loma Peratin products with Feria conditioner and
that's it. No fabric rinse anymore and I sold the Dome Care because I
didn't need it. I let the PH air dry and then boink it up. I have "blown
out" the ends only once but I've never needed to.

I do little things to keep it going. Like, I never let it stay between me
and the car seat when I drive; I always bring it forward so there's no
rubbing. Same at work, I don't let it rub between my clothes and the
fabric chairs. I twist it tight when sleeping so no strays rub the pillow
and keep the hair covered in fabric when boinking. Never comb or
brush when wet. I don't put any heat to it. It's always tied back when
I'm in the wind. Stuff like that.

The best brush I have used for this hair (if I ever lose it, I will die) is
a little oval rubber base brush by Vidal Sassoon. It has little balled
tips on the end and it gets through all the thickness and doesn't tear
the strands up at all.

unfortunately thats what my daughters PH streaks look like after less than 2 weeks. We used the straight PH, about 50 streaks of schock pink. So it really stands out like a sore thumb. The ends are totally fried. About 2-3 inches up from the ends. They may even look worse than that picture of the wawa bodywave.

Im not sure where she went wrong. She has only blowdried 2 times and no other heat styling. The hair was fried before the 2nd blow dry. I will have to get these removed as soon as I can, and she is totally put off with PH now

I wonder if it had something to do with swimming in a chlorine pool. Last week she spent alot of time over 2 days swimming. Any ideas?

YEEP!!!!!!  Ill just use it as clip ins then definantly. hopefully it wont ball up like that if i just do it clipped in. was that from washing it? I was deciding that anyway because shrinkies hurt my head when I sleep. I gots a sensitive scalp. thanks for your advice amm! :) (and the photo. good god.... )

Hey chicks, I was wondering if the wavy wawa should be ok if I pre bond them and put them in shrinkies. Also if I will be ok with using it but not putting any heat on it at all. Just my own hair. That is like the perfect texture for my hair. Will it drop wave if i wash it also? I remember you guys saying it was crap, but i dont intend on putting any heat on it. Should I do this, or do you recommend me just getting PH?

THX! :)
