Hi Tishee,
I used curly indian remy hair from myindianhair.com I got the "good" bundle.The site has good, better, and best. Good was the cheapest and best match for the look I wanted and hair texture closest to my own. It was expensive but definitely worth it it does not shed and my stylist said that it is in good enough condition to use again. I loved it and got lots of compliments and no one could tell it wasn't mine very natural looking.
Basically, I went to the salon a couple of times as well as cared for it on my own. I used a satin bonnet to sleep in at night. When showering I let it out nad let some of the mist get the hair a little wet to keep the curls fresh looking each day, not wet but a few sprinkles in it here and there. I someitmes used Loreal Volumizing mousse on the hair to keep a more defined curl look at times, but towards the end I liked the natural more softer curls better.
I wash once a week with my normal shampoo and conditioner which is Keracare. Just put a little shampoo on your scalp between each track and rub in and you can basiclly wash like it's your hair. I let the conditioner stay on for 30 min. minimum or longer with a cap and sat under the dryer with it. After rinsing and towel bloting really well to get the most of the water out b/c your hair is braided underneath so it is holding water in under there and takes longer to dry out. Next, I apply a leave-in conditioner. I used Infusium 23, after this I put a little gel (Keracare also doesn't flake) on the tiny bit of hair that is out at the front, smoothing it down and upwards. I get back under the dryer for at least an hr. The most important thing is to make sure all of your hair is dry since your hair is braided underneath you don't want any spoiled or mildew hair. I got a Sulfur 8 braid oil the one that has the tip on it or any oil as long as you put it in a tip applicator bottle and apply oil to the braid and scalp, having a tip applicator really helps to make sure your braided hair gets moisture and you get inside the braid. And that's about it. I just made sure my hair was deep conditioned and moisturized using a tip applicator and those really are the two keys. Curly Indian Remy is really low maintenance especially when you get the right hair. The hair is curly so there was not much esle to do with it besides keeping my own hair clean,conditioned, and moisturized. I paid more attention to my hair than the Indian remy it basically does not need any maintenance. Sorry didn't mean to write a book hopefully this helps feel free to ask anymore questions. I apparently did a good job of keeping it up b/c stylist said my hair grew alot and my braided is not matted at all.
