Kinks in synthetic hair?

[TexasGal]

So...I finished rehairing my paisly girl (YAY! I think I may make me a rehairing tool now xD) and she looks great!  Only problem is, there are kinks in the hair where i pulled it through with my thread.  I ended up using Fireline fishing thread.  I bead with it, and it's super strong.  I have yet to have a piece of jewelry break on me, even with crystal so close to the cord.  But, now I am left with the kinks.  I am thinking that just pouring hot water over it should help, right?  Then brush it through and let it lay flat?  Or do y'all know of a better way to make it work?  Wet hair and a flat iron maybe?


I got the hair off of a dollar tree headband for little girls...it's not great, but it's all i had at the time that would match her body colors.  Anything else I had just wasn't quite right.

I would try a flat iron.  Just be careful with it!

I think I might while I am here with a flat iron around....I'm gonna get her hair really wet first to see if that helps.

I would really go with the lowest possible temp.  The dollar store hair can be a beast to straighten!  Can't wait to see pics!

Dollar store haire is notorious for getting kinks in it really easily. I'd try using hot water before an iron, and if you do use a flat iron make sure the hair is wet and maybe put a barrier of fabric between the iron and the hair.

Dollar store hair melts at a much lower temp. I learned this the hard way when I tried to tame the hair with boiling water - I ended up with a big melted mess. The stuff is certainly cheap but in this case you get what you pay for.

I'd try hot water (but not boiling). Good luck!
