FingerComber Hair - Havanna Twists

[curlicarib]

Ladies, I just received my Finger Comber hair for the Havanna Twists. I've NEVER done braids with extensions before and I want to do the Havanna Twists myself. I think I can handle it but........I don't know how to prep the extension hair prior to installing it.

Should I wash/cowash it? Is there another solution I should soak it in? Do I even have to wash it? Should I treat it like I would my hair? Can I oil it? Help!

I want to do the twists this weekend, so I want to wash/prep the extensions ASAP.

Thanks for your help, ladies.

Wash hair with diluted shampoo, then soak with a solution of apple cidar vinegar and water. Use a ratio of 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 3 cup h2o, let soak for about 10 minutes then rinse it off. Let hair airdry overnight.

It's not totally necessary to do anything before installing. I washed the hair once I took it out of my Havana twists style and just put some shampoo through it, rinsed it well, twisted into a giant twist and let it dry. Good as new to reuse for another install of Havana twists

Thanks, Healthb4Length! basically, I just treat it like my hair.

thanks, JosieLynn! I'm kinda scared to install it without washing. I've heard soooo many stories of the itchies. Besides I have no idea where it's been and I'm a little anal about my hair. So...............i'm off to wash.
