It sounds to me like maybe you`re using gels etc. and maybe not washing them out properly ---- I`m not a big fan of products such as those for the reason of what you are experiencing now. I know other guys use them all the time .... I can only tell you what works well for me..... I actually took a few pics today of my system almost at the end of it`s 7th month of wear.... I`ll post a few later this evening.... but I only washed it about 6 times in that space of time... I use a spray leave-in conditioner and mist it nightly with plain water...... When I do wash it [as you`ll have read in a thread I did a while back regarding ``Remysoft` care - products] I use the Remysoft 3 -stage `system` and this hair is in a nice soft `healthy`condition.... what you must remember too is that the factory uses a silicone product on the hair which keeps it tangle-free and gives a shine/soft feel to the hair ....that will naturally wear off in use... however what you describe sounds [to me anyway] like some kind of product build-up. You mentioned the Blue max ----that is ``step 3 ``of the Remysoft range... it`s really designed to be the `finishing`touch having first shampooed/conditioned with that particular range. Give us a bit more detail on your `routine` etc. Cheers for now... Paul.

Iv tried all different routines like only washing with water during the week and using a bit of shampoo and conditioner once a week. Or just using conditioner daily and soaking in warm water only for a while at end of the week. Tried different temperatures of water. Tried many different brands of silicone serums including the blue max Tried shampoos and conditioners of a few different brands, pantene is one of them (which has the reputation for having a higher concentration of silicone in it's products) Tried shampoos and conditioners that have the same ingredients as the remi stuff, nothing special in it except for a lot of ingredients that are simply there to glorify the product, most of it just rinses out with water. So far nothing seems to restore the hair to what it used to be where if you run your hands through it wet or dry and hold it up and let it go it falls back to where it was, now it just stays up and you have to comb it down or shake your head.
