| I'm used to putting pretipped HH in my clients' hair, but I'm going to put PH in mine! I've got some different colors, but I'm having to tip in myself, seeing as it comes in bulk! I like the curly(not overly curly), and my hair is straight. My hair hair is pretty short, like a layered, choppy bob. So, I'm doing strand by strand. Any advice or links on how to take care of it, what to expect, etc??? I've never worn ANY extensions before. Just do them in the salon. I want to be able to start using PH on clients, that's one of the reasons I want to wear them...To learn more about them and be able to tell people about them and so they can see them! Thanks |

PH is very easy to care for. Wash and condition like any human hair making sure the hair is not rubbed together but squeeze everything in gently. You can also make a 50/50 combination of distilled water, and fabric softener, bottle it and keep it in the shower as your final rinse. Lavender Downy smells very nice.
I prefer to air dry PH and only using the blow dryer when needed or to smooth out the ends. Remember you can't use metal curling irons or the hair will frizzle and melt. Velvet rollers really give the hair a lot of curl and it holds its shape much better than any human hair I've tried. At night, sleep in loose braids or do a method called "boinking" where you take the length and twist it into a bun up close to the head and secure it with a fabric scrunch. :) ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

it was at least a year or more ago as i sold my heat wand to sherrie then, or longer ago. i dont recall ANY shedding, it worked really well for me, but i did not do a whole head, only like 10 ish strands. i am about to do it again with pink PH as streaks haven't worn any kind of extension in a year while, thats why i wasnt here :) ------------- i love plastikhaar |

Thanks alot guys... I have another question, does it seem like you use less strands of the PH b/c it's bulkier that the HH? B/c when I use the strand by strand shrinkie method SS on clients, they're pretty slim, therefore I would think I would use more that I would with the PH. Also, any quicker and easier way to pretip the bulk PH??? Thanks so much!
