hi, I always seem to get bad static on my extensions well i think its static , there is always a load of hair bungling up like a birds nest on top of my hair at the back , it neva stays strait. I have boheym remi hair, but i had a weft of europian hair sewn in about 18 months ago and that used to do exactly the same , does anyone else have this problem , is there anyway i can stop it ?
I neva see anyone else have this problem who has extensions but i only know about 5 girls with them
thanks a lot

That, my dear, is hair going in different directions acting like velcro and making a big knot. You sure it's Bohyme doing that and not some Bohyme knock-off? Real remi hair may do other stuff like get splits or be poofy or somesuch, but it definitely doesn't velcro into a big birdsnest knot like that.
If the hair is doing that, there is nothing to be done but take it out. You may be able to tame it a little with a silicone but it's only a little and only temporarily.
I had that a couple of times from some rubbish hair purchased at The Hair Shop on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles and I wanted to scream and cry every minute til it was out.

I've had static on lots of different brands of hair. The way to tell if it is ... hold a comb or brush a few inches from your hair and if your hair comes up to meet it, it's static.
Take a fabric softener sheet like Bounce (or an unscented kind if you prefer not to fragrance your head), and gently smooth over the entire surface of the hair and underneath, etc. That'll help.

Yep, static is a pain. I'm using the Bohyme also, and even though
I love it if I don't use the purology shampoo conditioner and some
smoothing stuff it does tangle a little bit......but not bad like yours.
You can also get the anti-static stuff in a spray can in the super
market laundry aisle. I know it sounds wierd, but my sister has
been using it on her natural hair (her hair gets tons of static) for
years and my last install got alot of static during the winter and I
tried it and it was great.
If you are having probelms with it staying straight I would try some
alcohol free product after you wash it, I use either the Paul Mitchell
styling glaze (the kind with the green apple) or sebastian wet.
Both are not sticky or hard and work well with my installs but I don't
like either of the generic versions. The product will also help
eliminate static.
For smoothing and keeping the hair soft with no tangles I swear by the
generic paul mitchell gloss drops at Sally's (not the real thing, the
generic is better actually). I use a good bit after I wash and it
keeps the hair super silky, shiny and doesn't feel greasy or anything.
Are you brushing your hair a good bit? You can also spray that
anti-static stuff in a brush and brush it or spray it directly on your
hair.

I second the dryer sheet, rub it over your head and your hairbrush, works like a charm.

I was having dryness and pufiness problems last week and I used sulfate free abba true shine shampoo and abba hair masque. Then I put in paul mitchell skinny serum and its back to super soft.

I woke up the other morning with a bird's nest puff on the side of my
hair. The knottiness came out but it was still puffy. I took my flat
iron and went over it. I've never seen something work so well. I put
gloss drops on it first.
