AMM: Have you seen the tutorial on Doc's? http://www.drlocks.net/straightsilkybraid/index.htm - http://www.drlocks.net/straightsilkybraid/index.htm As I understand it, steaming also works well. I'm trying to figure out where to get one. :) ------------- http://www.beautyaddictmag.com - www.beautyaddictmag.com |

Ok, I don't rep for the company and nobody told me to say this but Redkin "Sooth Down Heat Glide" is really really excellent for the human hair extensions I have now. It's like Biosilk, or Glossdrops, but it bonds to the hair with a little heat and makes it shiny.... it seems to dry, unlike the abovementionned, but stay soft. Honestly it seems like the same stuff that's on the hair when you first buy it. I'm on my second bottle in as many monthes. It really makes the natural hair shine above shiny synthetic as well. Best of luck. christina ------------- |

Oh yeah, by the way.... a cheap portable garment steamer, run over the synthetic hair in a paddle brush, not too close, once a week, will keep those ends fab. You don't need anything fancy if you aren't using it to make dreads. In fact, one from Kmart is probably safer for synth hair as it isn't as hot as a professional one that might melt the hair and make it goo. paddle brush is key. Breath in the love... breath out the jive. Christina ------------- |

I'll try some of that scotchyroo...thanks! I love the Biosilk and I am a huge fan of TIGI After Party Smoothing Creme. I will never ever be without that regardless of how expensive it is. Synth has a completely different feel that will take some getting used to. Thanks for all the input! ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |
