    Default hair question... humidity+extensions.

    I have a problem. When I lived out west, I could wear my straight extensions with my straightened curly hair and my hair would stay silky smooth and perfect all night because there was NO humidity and it never got hot in the club.

    Now, I'm in FL, where it's 80% humidity and 90 degrees everyday, and they keep the club air conditioned, but not enough, and not to the point that it takes all the humidity out of it. I noticed about 1/3 of the way through my shift, my straightened hair began to get poufy, then, around the hairline where I sweat, it started to curl up... and by the end of the shift, it was an absolute horrible mix of silky smooth extensions and poufy wavy frizzy hair. It wasn't so bad that you could tell it was extensions, but it did look extremely messy and gross.. to me at least.

    I dont use any product on my hair, because I don't want to use any sort of silicones on my hair... even though it does make it look nice and shiny. What can I use on my hair to keep it frizz free, straight and shiny just like my extensions that isn't just silicone/dimethicone...etc???

    I need a good product, and i also need to learn how to curl it with an iron with the extensions, that would be easier to disguise both the extensions and the waviness that happens towards the end of the night. i want it to look like the picture below--- what kind of iron and HOW do I do that??

    God, LRs tutorials are the BOMB. She did one called Victoria's Secret hair, and I use it all the time now, but it actually looks a little different than that picture.

    found LR's tutorial, it's in this thread: http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...light=tutorial

    It looks like she did some larger curls, or stuck in some hot rollers, and then used a smaller iron sporadically, and closer to the ends...I'm not really sure.

    Good luck finding hair products without dimithicone, I haven't seen any myself.

    My hair actually doesn't do too bad with holding a curl without any product. I've been doing that lately.

    I'm confused, but the Chewbacca Truffle Shuffle cleared it up. - Emily
