My hair extentions feel really tacky and need a regular brush like every 5minitues, and they just feel really horrible. I got them off my friend so I don't know if they are human hair or not? I just need some advise on how to make them feel smoother and look natural and less tacky, HELP.

You should probably thank your mate but just go out and buy better ones. Some hair extensions that are cheap are sewn together any way they like. Where as remy human hair are all kept with the follicle at the right end. Sorry I'm having troulble trying to explain it, but basically if the hair isnt all sewn in the right direction it makes it matt together really easy which is why they need brushing zx

I have Remy extensions, and I actually have the same problem. When you buy extensions make sure they are 100% human hair. If the package doesn't say 100% then they probably use synthetic filler in the extensions.
I just use the same products that I use on my regular hair (an argan oil spray and Macadamia leave-in conditioner and a heat protectant if I use heat on them).

Try giving them a good washing with a clarifying shampoo...! hopefully they're feeling that way because of product buildup as opposed to an actual problem with the hair itself.

Hmm I would try a deep conditioner treatment on them,that should help to make the hair smoother and softer. And like Heather M said if you use heat use the same products as if it were your hair.And I agree or buy some from Sallys the 100% human hair. Thats where I buy mine:) Hope I helped :)
