Im just starting out as a  cosmetologist and was trained on caucasian hair but i know ethnic hair need moisture and balance. Help? ------------- JM2006 Replies: Posted By: ThAbAdDeStBaBy Date Posted: December 05 2006 at 3:50am I'm not sure if I can be of a lot of help..but from what I read, via online search, is that prior to fusion on AA hair the hair can not be oiled or oily...So IMO a shampoo, protein treatment followed by a deep conditioning treatment should done/recommended... also a liquid (not creme)leave-in does not hurt, more so as a protectant. As far as the upkeep of fusions I think theres not much difference..the hair can be oiled but not too much and regular maintenance..but do not quote me on that. HTH BTW: You can also ask the ladies on the extension side as well ------------- ThAbAdDeStBaBy http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 - http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 Hair Goal: BSL by late 2007-early 2008 Hair now: net weave w/EP-RT
