soo I was transitioning with straight hair sew-ins...

[Caychica]

& i usually leave some hair out around the edges which i have to constantly fat iron to blend. Today I co-washed the left out hair & the curl pattern in the front where i concentrate on the most is on the way to being nonexistent.

I'm getting the bohyme brazilian hair put in this month so i wont need to straighten my hair anymore.

**Just letting u guys know about my experience!

I'm in North Miami, close to Aventura.

cool, i wear sew ins to, but I usually wear a curly or wavy texture so it's easier to blend. I've never tried bohyme brazilian though, let me know how it works out for you.

Girl I tried to wear a straight sew in with my RELAXED hair and I got sick of straightening it everyday! I cosign on the curly or wavy weave. That's whats up.

I wore the BoBraz last year and it blended beautifully with my 3-4 months post relaxer hair. Only problem? That hair sheds like crazy. Please seal it.

My weaves always shed. I've never known how to combat that. i would just sew in extra tracks to thicken it up again.

Here is a tutorial about sealing wefts. You seal them before you have the weave installed. You have to give the sealant time to dry so do it a few days before you actually install the hair.

I hate shedding weaves and I try to avoid buying weave hair that sheds.

Hmm, I'm curious, what was your regimen while in the weave? I recently had my hair done (FULL sew in, with just the temple edges out, edges near the ear, and nape left out), and I've washed my hair since the install, I'm nearly 3 mons post and I never straighten everyday. I plan to only flat iron my edges 1x/wk, and just pin curl at night to keep it straight. Kinda how I would keep my hair if it all were out and straight. What did you do with your edges at night? How often did you moisturize?

I wash my hair 2 weeks after getting it installed.
Then once a week w/poo & d/c after. Sometimes I co-wash mid week.
After each wash I air dry, apply Shine hair polish & flat iron (360 degrees).

I use shea butter as a moisturizer for between the braids.
& ors olive oil hair dress for my scalp sometimes.

At night i wrap my hair with a silk scarf.
**occasionally i'll braid my nape & wear a headband ovr it w/ my hair down as a protective style. (I got that off a thread on here =D )

That's pretty much it.

& i moisturize after i wash then randomly during the week lol
