Do you think I should flat iron it before I brush it? As some of you know, it sheds and I'd rather be as cautious with it as I can.

I brush mine with a wide-toothed comb, very gently working my way from half way down the length all the way to the tips. The waves react surprisingly well to being brushed, as long as you're not forceful. I haven't flat-ironed this piece yet with the exception of some light work on the bangs, but overall I wouldn't want to risk sacrificing any of the volume.

Sorry Norm - Never thought of washing it - when I have used it (winter) - I keep it in the back along w/ brush and 'sticky roller' - just a light fluffing, etc. and it is good as the day I bought it almost a year now - I myself would NOT recommend it, by try googling the company and ask - they might know - Sorry again for not having a most definitive ans. - james

If you are planning to cut it before using it, then yes, I would wash it after cutting it to get all of the frayed edges to rid themselves of the threads that are going to come free. In my experience, it shrank considerably so keep that in mind when making the cuts.

It's definitely not polished, but not your usual brushed, either. That doesn't really help you! It's slightly brushed, then it looks like the polished on top of the brushing. Probably didn't help either...

A few at first use but remember to rinse and give two or three shakes hard downward to dry the brush then stand it up like shown never wring it out or towel dry this causes shedding after the first use you may have a hair every few shaves but as with all brushes the way you treat them will dictate how they stand up!

Can you see up into your chiminny? How long have you burned in it? Last time it was swept clean? Are you only burning cured/dry wood?If you have not had it cleaned by a pro for years.. now might be maybe that time? I bought a brush and rods to do mine myself.Also, is it a fireplace or a woodstove?

Yes, i also wash it and condition it to untangled. After it dries i use the flat iron at about 180 so it wont burn, so i can style it. Hope this help.

Yes absolutely! Be sure and get the proper brush-head, because there are two different kinds I believe.

No, I wouldn't iron it! Shake them out and just use it. They go away over time, not sure how long, exactly. Mine is smooth now.

Yes!! I totally pulls my hair. It gave me pretty nasty split ends. I pretty much stopped using it :( Still looking for perfect flat iron.

Dry cleaning is best. And try not to iron it , it'll get shiny and reflective. I wash it in cold water and hang it out to dry

I've never used a flat iron on wet hair, that can cause damage. I wouldn't recommend it.

I rub just a teeny bit and work it into my damp hair (about an hour after a shower, almost dry but still a bit wet/frizzy). If you want to flat iron after it'll be silky and you can re-add just the smallllllest amount to the ends.

I used a "rat-tail" comb to clean the hair out; product build-up is another story. I tried using a toothbrush, but the bristles weren't stiff enough to get everything. Got the worst of it cleaned up, and continue to use it, just cleaning it occasionally. (rubbing alcohol would probably work okay).

Just leave the hair in the flat iron a little longer and it should work. (Slide the iron down the hair slower than normal)

I think it would straighten your hair nicely but be very careful about how hot the iron is.

it's not trustworthy.. it looks like a lot and thick in the pic but in person it's really thin and I already have thin and straight hair and no matter how much I flat iron it still doesn't match.
