I had a superfrizzy Sam I bought off Ebay, and instead of using the Downey I tried my Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat on her hair (she's a PM and has the more human like hair), since it did such a good job on real human hair! I let her soak for about 7 minutes, then gently washed it out. I had to do it twice, but MAN did it work! It even helped rejuvenate her curls somewhat and her hair feels and looks great.
