I do think the frenchee has made my hair softer, it is hard to wash out,even after I washed, my hair is still greasy, but I dont know if that is because I am not using shampoo any more, I have only used it 3 weeks straigth so I have not seen any real growth yet, but I mixed it with olive oil and I need to get the glovers too, does heat make a difference? any luck any one using the glovers or frenchees?
