Was wondering...I have wefts in with the pro tac tape, and I had them in at first for two weeks, took them out and dyed them to match my own hair (and if I do say so myself, it worked perfectly:))...and then put them back in, and I've had them in for another two weeks at this point...my problem is that I'm having troubling getting all the shampoo out especially under the weft...I try really hard, but I'm getting some shampoo buildup (crusty flaky stuff) underneath...I wash my hair every other day (its pretty oily)... Is there anything that can be done about that, do you have any suggestions with washing to get all the shampoo out (at first I thought it might be dandruff, but its only under the weft, so it cant be)...I really like the wefts, but for about 1/2" under it, I seem to have trouble getting the shampoo out... |

when i shampoo, i let it sit on my hair while i wash my body, then i stand under the h2o for about 3 mins, it rinses all the shampoo out and relax me as well. try rinsing for longer and if your not sure if it is out, i would suggust, gently lifting up the weft a bit to allow h2o to get under it and rinse. ------------- Bringing beauty, one head at a time... |

| Take a bath and let your hair soak in the water for a couple minutes after you shampoo. |

Dilute your shampoo as well. You'd be amazed how much water you
can put in the thick 'poos and not only extend your 'poo supply but also make rinsing much easier. I can get good lather from a non- sulfate shampoo but sulfate based are well known for abundant lather (sulfate being completely useless and unnecessary in cleaning) so switch it out for non-sulfate. Try that dilution thing first and see how it works.  ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

do I just look for the word "sulfate" in the ingredients on the back of the bottle?
PS- I just ordered the indian remy wefts from you...its just too pretty to pass up:) |

tbctbc - You will NOT be disappointed with these virgin Indian wefts from Amm...I'm sorry, but I cannot say enough about them...I am becoming WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY too addicted to hair! I plan on buying a bunch more and squirreling them away so I never run out!!! I am a #2 naturally so the colors are perfect and I also have many clients/friends that are #2,#4. We call ourselves the 'Brunette Brigade" and they all want them...these wefts are FABULOUS! ------------- |

Poo. :) Prior to the huge soap news that happened recently, I was doing the individual soap sales and also donating a lot of time and soap products to animal organizations; clubs, local police canine, SPCA, etc. I made a huge donation of soap to go to a Bulldog Club in another state. Here's what they got which was raffled off for the club and local rescue... The name ... DogPoo, of course. I made some others called Pootopia and Poochouli. Oh, and MelonCollie and Fleas Release Me. Great fun. Better cause. :) 
Laura, (in case you received a mysterious shipping label tonight) I didn't have my cute little tins at the time but now I do so I'm forwarding along some outstanding smoothing creams I give out now with those wefts. Enjoy! ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Amm - It is 1:00am and I am sure my husband thinks I am having an affair because I am still up and on the laptop...I am becoming so obsessed with hair and learning all I can...I have two pugs (one fawn and one black, "Taco" and "Jet") so I totally love and appreciate what you are doing... Thanks for the "surprise"...I cannot imagine this virgin Indian remy needing anything to keep it gorgeous but I am thrilled with your customer service! I almost feel guilty for whomever gave this hair up...I guess we need to be thankful for what we have and realize that all wants/needs in life are relative... ------------- |

| Yesterday, I saw a beautiful Indian woman at the grocery store. Her hair was braided and was mid-thigh length. I looked at that hair and it was like Homer Simpson looking at a donut. That lucky woman gets to have this wonderful hair for real. |
