Hey ladies,

I put it in a sink of hot water and shampoo and the dang thang matted up on me something awful.


What should I do? Any ideas?????

Please help........

What kind of hair is it? Chinese or Indian/ yaki or curly????

Did you wash it on a mannequin head?

couple of things.....do a search on BHM

I have heard that bleach bath can get out tangles, but not sure about the amount of bleach to water.

Whatever you do make sure the next rinse is with cold water

you could also try soaking in conditioner- Silicon Mix should work great.

Good Luck!

Go to Black Hair Media. Try a bleach bath and silicon mix.

Good suggestion, but the bleach is not necessary. Silicon Mix will make that baby new again.

Thanks ladies!! I was so distraught that I didnt do anything to it last night. I am gonna try all of your suggestion today and I will report back.


TIA

You can also soak it in fabric softner - it will coat the strands just like the silcone mix and is much easier to find!
