Hey Lwhite!

Yep, it can be used on dogs. If you go to their main website, Cowboymagic.com or something like that, they tell you what products to use and give you grooming tips and all.

Happy grooming!!!

Just an update.. I bought the cowboy magic.. It worked for a good day and 1/2 with flat ironing. but if I dont flat iron it - she becomes the crazy again by the evening. This will always be my problem child! I feel like literally beating the thing- lol!

I will try one more bleach bath.. seriously.. im so mad at this point. I did purchase from a chinese vendor- whom i sent the request for thier advertised price for chinese remy lace front processed to kinky straight. I do believe that this hair is indian hair and horse hair- its gotta be.. THis is worse than any indian hair i have ever purchased...

Sounds like you got something that wasn't cuticle aligned. :-/

I have chinese KS that I've had for years and getting poofy during humidity is one thing, but tangling is a whole other story. As others have said, try a bleach bath and hopefully that will help it.

Sounds like the hair is not cuticle aligned. Bleach bath should help. If not, here is a tip that I have used to get through a bad patch:

At the nape, cut off about an inch of the hair to the lace.

Sew on 2 tracks of VIRGIN hair of approx. the same length.

This will keep the non-cuticle hair from rubbing against the body/clothing and you won't have to comb out the tangles every 5 minutes.

The other solutions may work also, but in the long run, I just don't deal with all that.

Also, the John Korea hair coat works magic, but is very expensive!

Excuse me but there have been a number of times when me an other people have posted on here and have been told not to post our question because its a 'repeat' of other similar questions or have been told just to go and research the forums to get our answers instead of asking our questions even when it's not really possible to ind out the information we need. So I thought it would be ok to find a thread that's similar and ask a question in it. Some people on here.

I have a question about chinese units. If i were ordering from a CV and wanted a chinese, straight unit in medium brown but wanted the highest quality hair could i say I want a chinese remy, straight unit? because if its been colored it can still be remy but no longer virgin right? I have looked around and have found that chinese virgin, completely uncolored hair is black in color, so if I want a medium brown chinese I cant buy a virgin remy chinese unit because it would have to be colored? it would still be cutically aligned (remy) but no longer virgin remy? From what I have found out chinese vrigin, remy hair is bone straight anyway so all I will have to do is get it colored so that is not black/very dark brown?

Not trying to be mean but next time you can post your own question its not kosher to high jack a post [ when you ask a question in another person post ]then others start to comment and the original post or question get lost or not answered when others start to answer your question

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I had a weave with KS hair that behaved exactly like that from His & Hers. I don't know if it was Chinese or Indian, but it acted like poofy Indian. Fortunately, it didn't tangle, but I couldn't walk anywhere without it poofing up on a weekend trip to LV in August. I couldn't blame it on humidity.

eta to say there's a post in the forums somewhere that Sexi posted for a bleach bath for particularly troublesome hair. I'll see if I can find it.

Found it, scroll down a bit for the post. . .

Yes, most CVR will be black/off black. However, you "should" buy a virgin unit to ensure that you can build your color from scratch. I do know that for reds and blondes, some will buy a color near the desired color and tweak the color themselves so as to not mess with a lot of bleaching.

If you want a medium brown, you can try a good hair color with 30 or maybe 40 volume developer. L'Oreal has a nice line of browns and I was able to lift an off black CVR to a milk chocolate brown with that line of color.

*Thin it out a bit in the area that is tangling/poofing
*Use Dove Nutritive Oil Therapy Conditioner (sold at Walmart) on it as a deep conditioner, or at least for 5 minutes. It contains Lactic Acid and tames the beast without loosening the kinky straight texture.

I have used gallons & gallons of Cowboy Magic over the years and love it, but this Dove Nutritive Oil Therapy is my current love for unruly afro & kinky texture units.

Haven't had a chinese KS unit but I've had TONS of chinese units processed to different textures. It's odd that yours is poofing....chinese normally does the opposite. I would say wash and condition with Dove products follow up with an ACV rinse, a dab of virgin coconut oil while it's wet. Let it air dry and then flat iron. You should be good to go after that.

I took the plunge and purchased a chinese remy kinky straight lace front wig. She looks gorgeous. But immediately after wearing her- no heat.. she poofs and frizzes out.

I have tried washing, deep conditioning, argan oil, frizz ease, flat ironing, flexi rods, bleach bath, and last resort.. relaxer..

I walk 5 minutes in a straight line.. nothing crazy.. and she poofs at the neck area and at my ears. Everywhere except where the lace is.. (Shoudda got a full lace wig).

She is a WILD Hot Mess. I have to brush her constantly. But I need to tame her. If I could she would be the perfect unit. I have a special occasion this weekend I would love to put the flexi rods in.. But I also need to be able to wear her in her normal state- just straight down. Tell me what to do, I will do it, tell me what to buy an I will buy it!!!!

How to Tame a WiLd unit….
