Mine is the kinkly curly one but shorter so its almost afro-like

I had the longer one and it got tangled a lot even when I put it into two braids before bed. I plan to make it into a u-part wig to wear this summer because I am convinced that the tangles are because I roll around a lot at night.

What made you put it into two braids? Some people say two big twists or something

I used to put mine in a high ponytail and then a silk scarf/bonnet over it or if its very short just a headband with a bonnet over it had no problems. Once or twice a week run my hands through it track by track to prevent tangles otherwise leave it alone if not it goes fuzzy really soon.

^Thanks., do you use any product the entire time?

Not on the extensions no, it seemed to mess with the hair. Just treat it like a wash n go without any touch ups in between and if you absolutely have to spritz some water lightly.

I had some (halley's curls) and it looked like a straight up rats nest. I couldnt get it to NOT tangle. I took it out and detangled with the tangle teaser and it looked good as new. Like yardyspice I am going to make it into a wig. maybe eve dye it.

I currently sleep with mine in one big twist in a bun. When I wake up I spray it with water&con mix and use a tangle teezer. It still looks great.

ETA: I put a satin bonnet over the bun for sleeping.

I started out by making mine into a wig and wore one for 4 weeks the other for 6 weeks. I used the Batik hair (found it for $2.99 a pack). I watched the pretty dark skinned lady with locs on YouTube (I believe she is listed as BarbadianBeauty) and taught myself to make a wig. I loved it and got zillions of compliments. There was some tangling but usually just in the back on the part that rubbed against my clothing. I used my fingers to detangle or cut the tangles out. Absolutely Loved It. I would post pictures but my personal computer is in intensive care so I don't have access to my photos.
