However you maintain it so for me I renew it after two weeks by doing the sam3 method boiled water make sure it's smoking hot and conditioner with fabric softener let it air dry u can blow dry and brush it if u don't have time but letting it air dry and then straightening it with a this thing I use called the knot dr. Does leave a better result opposed to vlow drying while the hair is soken wet I hope that helps 💕 u can do this with ur human wigs too
