do the stylist who do cornrows usually rinse the extention hair...

[monie20032007]

To prevent irritation? I am getting cornrows tomorrow and I am wondering

will she wash the hair?

and if so...

how does she dry the hair before it is put into mine?

Im talking about kenekelon hair extensions. I do not want any kind of scalp irritation, what do you suggest?

 

[wheezy807]

I've never seen them wash the hair before. Doesn't it come pre packaged or something?

 

[ladylibra]

nope. most of them look at you sideways for even suggesting it.

you can always do it yourself... i just let it soak for several hours in a strong ACV/water mix, then shampoo a few times and let it hang to dry.

works well for taking that fake "wiggy" shine off too, for any weave/wig.

Depends on the person. The person that does mine here doesnt but in Nigeria, they do

I would think not - especially since it would be a mess to work worth until it dried. Like Lady Libra said - a soak in ACV will take off the coating. You can go to www.growafrohairlong.com if you want more details - she goes other it there too.

soliel were your braids soaked if not is there any irritation to your scalp?

 

[Soliel185]

I didn't rinse mine this time b/c i used a different type of hair, but last september I got individuals with kankalon braid hair and soaked the hair in vinegar, rinsed, and hung it to dry overnnight.

With my cornrows I haven't had any major issues, but again it is a different type of hair.

 

[monie20032007]

Again what type of hair did you use? sorry I know I asked you this before

 

[Newtogrow]

Nope. It comes right out of the package.

I never had any issues with the hair or my scalp.
