I didn't pre rinse mine wasn't shiny. It's like washing that type of hair the silky synthetic hair it probably will frizz

I just put the chemicals to the growth area... and for the rest of the hair that has been processed before, I put some conditioner and more on the ends, that way, if for some reason some chemical dripped then it is not so strong. I hope I made sense.

I too have frizzy/wavy hair, and I love this product. You need to put it on your hair when it's still very wet, but it leaves me with amazing, non-frizzy, curls - like I never had before. The humidity sometimes still does have a little affect, but for the most part I think this is a great, great product.

I've done it once it gave me a dark violet color looked like grape soda. I would leave it in for about 25 min in the hair then wash out. I recommend doing a tiny section first then see a little result.

Youre welcome! I recommend the deva curl creme. works best I've found with this diffuser getting my curls the most defined and without any toxic chemicals

Just wanted to add my $0.02, i've always used this henna, because i love the looked and feel of my hair post treatment. I also suffered the same intense annoying breakage and dry hair (despite deep conditioning). I usually mixed mine with just lemon juice (cause i thought it made the color better). However, during my last use, i forgot to mix with LJ, and used distilled water + 1 tbsp of LJ. Although i did not get the luxurious color and soft thick texture, there was absolutely no breakage. My hair turned out great. I also added olive oil to my deep conditioner this time around. Maybe it was the olive oil in deep conditioner or the dash of LJ in the henna mix, i'm not sure.

I'm a bleached blonde, so it's frizzy when I dry it...with a dryer or air dry. I have to use a curling iron to smooth it out.

This hair is great!!! You can wash it like you would wash your regular hair. Also, you can blow dry or air dry before styling. Get ready for all the compliments, because its going to look beautiful

I think it is marketed for wet hair - to detangle after shampooing, but it does not mean you cannot use on dry hair - I do sometimes, although I have another brush I prefer to use when my hair is dry. The beauty of the "Wet Brush" is its superior ability to detangle

Before. Because after spraying the shampoo you need to brush the powder through just a little bit. (Might undo your straightening work)

I have never used the original. The tick with this one is use a tiny pea size amount add hair oil (I use 2 pumps of Oscar Blaindi jasmine oil). Mix together in plm of hand wot on wet hair from bottom half way up comb through and blow dry. I had mid length hair. It leaves my hair with no friz. Hope this helps.

they are made with textured hair, not silky smooth. I dont think you can get silky straight hair to keep the twist.

Very well, my daughter has natural curly hair, after wash she uses a towel to suck up the excess water, adds some argan oil, n goes under to dryer on 60 for about 45, any hotter n your hair will get frizzy.

Oh no. Sounds to me the twisty thing is broken. Did you buy it in a store because if so, march back and show them the product has a defect. If you bought it on line I would contact the seller. As for me, I buy it at the drug store or walmart. Are you twisting it to the right? I am trying to think it may take 20 twists to see the product come out, 10 at least. If after 20 twists nothing comes UP,...return because of defect.

Mine are around my face and I didn't notice a difference. Its not like jell, it doesn't make your hair look wet. once the product dried in my hair it looked the same as before I used the conditioner, but it felt softer and smoother.

It really worked for me. I used it on curly Brazillian hair and the curls came out defined and soft. I washed the hair first. Then I put a nice amount of conditioner in a large bowl and filled it with water. I then put the hair in the bowl with the conditioner and water mix and left it there for about 2 or 3 hours for deep conditioning. After that, I rinsed it and then let it air dry. It came out perfectly curled and soft.

Thanx for putting "nanny" straight. I cringed when she spoke about her then 12 yr old. I hope that little girl found some positive person to help and encourage her in her naturalness. :-)Ur feedback help me take another BIG step towards this hairdryer as there are not many other African Queens out there giving reviews on it. I only wish to straighten my natural hair every now and again as i do not particularly like doing so. I would like to do this with the least damage possible.
