I just put some in this week too. They are super drying. I've learned to spritz my hair, and use my oil blend directly on my scalp. I also used the Marley hair which was drying. I took a ACV rinse to it in my tub, then I completely wat the hair and did a gentle wash with castille soap. Rinsed and twirled the hair in the tub to remove the hair. <br /><br />I do however like the Havana Hair better than the packs you get from the hair store here in DC. Washing it has been so much better for me with my scalp. it was so bad too, I couldn't deal with it.Eat.Style.Playhttp://www.EatStylePlay.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-75217391825327263462014-07-04T02:38:23.075-04:002014-07-04T02:38:23.075-04:00I've not worn Havana twists.

You can soak the hair before having it installed to possibly prevent itching. That sounds like a lot of work right?

Also, I didn't soak the hair first. I have read many people do that before box braids too. The only reason I didn't is because I have used synthetic hair without issues in the past. I'm thinking it may have just been the type of hair I used. If I tried it again, a soak would be definite!FabEllishttp://www.fabellis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-84730550995948440922014-07-02T11:44:15.619-04:002014-07-02T11:44:15.619-04:00So glad to see this!

Also, did you treat the hair before you installed? When I was doing research I read that people soaked the hair in a mixture or water and vinegar do it wouldn't cause scalp irritation.Crystalnoreply@blogger.com
