My friend has recently just taken out the KK hair that I had braided into her hair, and since there was SO MUCH of it (like 8 packs) I've offered to re-use the hair to make some falls for her. Problem is, the hair feels a bit *too* greasy from being worn for 5wks. We've tried washing it in cold soapy water, but it didn't work very well.

So, any advice please??

Well.. putting loose KK in a machine may be a bit nightmarish, so I would just make DEs out of them, steam them loosely (so they stay together, but not completely), then put them into a netted bag and throw them in a cold wash and then seal them properly, then attach them to your chosen fabric for falls? That's what I'd do..

You could probably just braid the hair and not dread it... just something to keep it from tangling and getting all over the place while it's in the wash =]

Haha. The reason she suggest loosely dreading it, is because it would turn into a mangled mess that would never been unravelled.

The braids may work though.


But seriously, if you can, just dread it and then wash them. I'm sure it's be easiest.

Shove it all in a mesh laundry bag and put it in with a normal wash ... I did this with KK that had been braided into my friends hair and it came out just the same as it was when I put it in - only it smelt a lot better Laughing

I finally managed to aquire the washing machine for my own ends, and now the hair smells like lavender! lol!

I dreaded it, sealed it, washed it in the washing machine inside a pillow case, then re-sealed. They're holding and smelling really well

Thanks for all the help! =)
