ok, i've read good reviews about the wawa straight..... and that it responds well to curling on a 265 degree curling iron.......so, my question is: how do i know when my hi/lo setting curling iron is at 265? is that the 'lo' setting?
i am thankful for you people that know what you are doing ! |

I used my professional curling iron, which gets VERY hot on Wawa and it didnt hurt it. I guess you'll know if the hair synges if its too hot.....LOL Id just try a test piece with different settings. But even at the highest settings mine didnt melt or fry. As for how to tell how hot your curling iron is....Ive seen some little test strips somewhere....but cant remember where??? ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

I couldnt curl it dry. But if I wet the strand then curled and clipped the curl til cool, it curled like a charm! Or if I used velcro rollers and steam or steam rollers. I think the key was the steam/heat and cooling in position. Heres a picture of getting it TOOOOO curly! LOL

YAY! I love the 'tooooooooo' curly look.... I had my hair curly and poofy today, and my just-turned-13-year-old daughter said that my hair is 'sooooooooooo last century' Is there a certain brand that tends to curl better, I was disappointed with some 'wavy' that I bought that just turned to stick straight again once I shampooed.... Thank you sherry, your advice on this board has been so very helpful! |

I cant gaurantee they have this exact one...they did the last time I was there. They always carry the baby t's and always have several styles with the silver/gold foil aeropostale signature. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Stunning install Sherrie. You would never tell that you were wearing synthetic hair. Does the wawa tangle? x ------------- |

Hi Sherrie...I just spent some time going over your wawa thread. I was wondering if it would be useable for clip ins? I'm not brave enough to try a full install yet, but I am getting there. Also, did you razor the wawa for blending?
Thanks!!

Hi MissAllie! yeah you could make clip ins out of the wawa wefts. Yes I razored the wawa...only thing have several blades on hand as synthetic will dull a razor in a hurry! Shel...I did need to brush out the wawa more frequently than most good human human hair or it bunches up in the back....not really tangling but a 'bunchiness' that you tend to get with synthetic hair (If that makes sense) and the easiest way to brush it out I found, was to use a spray bottle of water and mist the hair and brush. No worry about the curl cause it stays in until you steam it or straighten it out! ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

| I was wondering what kind of curling product to use on Bohyme hair to make the curl last all day? Or does the curl usually stay? |
