Experiment 1: Hair cleaning! So! Did these up last night with this format: Tiny elastics keeping them in smallish bundles, using fingers to clean through and pick out debris(vegetable matter/vm). Rinsed twice, short-soaked in shampoo twice, conditioner once(not dyeing this color). . . Result: Still smells like a barn, just a bit less than original. So much VM in it still. Gonna brush out half once it’s all dry to see if that helps, and just redo the rest. . . Next Batch! No elastics, just locks, using tweezers to remove most or all VM, soaking twice in shampoo for 10 minutes each. Conditioner once, hang to dry. . . . Lets see how this works out! . . #bjdalpacawig #alpacafibre #alpacafibrecleaning # #cleaningwool #alpacalocks #bjds https://www.instagram.com/p/BoPJxtbl4So/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11c49r2tnmsx0
