Ladies,
I know alot of you like BW, but have any of you tried to convert your KS to a Bodywave unit without loosing the KS texture?
I want a BW unit, but I do not like the Silky Str8 or yaki str8 hair.
I am going to put some medium size plaits in my hair tonite using some Wet and Wavy foam.. Being sure to plait at the root so I have a full wave all the way down. tie it up and let it marinate overnite!
 Now if I succeed at getting the wave I want, how would you suggest I keep it this way permanently?
Is it possible to perm and plait the hair for desired wave, or must I use rods? (Not good with rods)
 I will promise to take pics in the morning to share!
Even if Im a hot mess!

| Hurry up and post pics. I sometimes plait my hair and let it do the next morning. The only thing I put on the hair though is water. If you are going to add product remember to clarify once a month or you will eventually get tangles. |

I plait my unit sometimes at night and even during the day when I work out. |

| Don't be disappointed if it looses the texture. I added an apple perm to my kinky straight and the unit is now a light yaki bodywave. I'm happy that it did go completely silky straight, but was disappointed that it lost the kinky texture. I was going for a kinky curly/wavy. |

I am so glad you have decided to try this out. I love body wave units and I was going to try the same thing on a light yaki this weekend. I can't wait until you post pictures.
