Is this cording a little stiff? Will it hold shape, the same as with hemp? Or should I find a waxed version of this?

No, it's not stiff and if your making shamaballa bracelets it pretty good for that. It's not dry like hemp

It is not very firm. I have wavy hair and it doesn't add a whole lot. I wear this get daily just to keep tame, and the styling creme when I go out for extra body & curl. I would recommend the Styling Creme for scrunching, and it smells really good, too. Citrus smelling, I get compliments on the scent when I wear it.

Yes I recommend this. I got big buds from using this. Just don't try to overdo it or you'll burn the roots.

I think its just personal preference. I like corded because mine have lasted longer and less parts to break. Just my opinion. My coolaroo corded shade I've had over a year and no problems.

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon.

I don't like using it with the cord because of how stiff it is. I've only owned mine for two days though, so it might get better with use.

Hemp can absorb a lot, but they are slow absorbing. It should be used behind another insert, like a prefold or microfiber.

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

I have medium, straight hair that can be oily. I use it on my ends but not my roots and it is smoothing and smells amazing. I think it would be great for curly hair.

You can use it just like it is. It had a very subtle almost nutty smell. Very, very mild but I wanted it scented and in a container (this comes in a plastic bag, not great for storage). It's kind of hard... like stiff play-dough. I melted it in a pot on the stove, added almond oil, stirred and poured the melted stuff into a Tupperware container. It set up in a few hours and I just scrape some out and use it as hand cream. I LOVE it. My hands and nails have never been in better shape. I am considering using it for a deep conditioner for my hair but have not tried this yet.

This acts more as a conditioner. It's terrific for keeping your beard from drying out and helps to keep it more manageable. It really doesn't work like a wax though. If you need to shape.your beard, I would look for a true wax. I would probably use both if my beard were longer.

I feel the same way. I bought this thinking it was a flexible rubber type material. It is ridged and will kink if it is bent too much. I think that it is vinyl, but definitely not as flexible as I wanted it to be. I made it work though.

If you mean by soft you mean cashmere, then no. It's a slightly course tight weave but not rough. It's flexible and not as stiff and director chair fabric. I love this product. It's in my back yard under a shade tree and in spring and summer I go out to read or take naps. It's description is quite accurate, it is a Brazilian hammock which I'm familiar with from trips to Fortaleza, Brazil. You will enjoy it, or, you can return it. Nothing lost.

It's much thinner and it's at least as strong. Also doesnt stretch much and doesn't melt. If you need some really strong cord to keep in a small space it's worth it.

I had no problem with the flexibility of the cord. It's not overly thick and is easily maneuvered.

bristles are hard plastic, so no I don't have trouble with it getting tangled in my hair. The cord doesn't rotate easily (maybe because it is new), so I have had some trouble with it getting tangled and twisted.

I use this every day with my curling iron and my hair is not stiff. I just spray it lightly and curl, when you brush it out or finger it out any stiffness goes away. I like this so much that I use it as a finishing spray. By the way, my hair is fine and short. Hope that Helps.
