Q about Extension Hair/Braid Wearers

[Aalize]

Do you wash the extension hair before you use it or do you just use it straight from the pack? If you wash it first what procedure do you use?

I let it soak in water and vinager for half n hour and then wash it with a shampoo and let it hang dry until next day.
The water is always brownish when I rinse it and it eliminates left over dyes and other chemicals that make my scalp itch.

I've never even though to wash braiding hair.

I plan on getting some cornrows sometime next week, I'll try that. Will it work for human hair Yaki? Can you do it to all hair types, excluding synthetic?

 

[cutebajangirl]

I wash it too and yes the water does turn brownish. I think it is excess dyes that run off.

 

[caralexis2005]

how do you keep the hair together for washing? like how do you tie it?
sorry i'm dense

I even soak synthetic hair in ACV and there was a bit lather from the chemicals

 

[cutebajangirl]

I tie it and fill up the sink and drop it in.
