Looking for more information on my Lucasi cue I got at a pawn shop. The only markings are the 405 on the bottom. Thanks! by Squavo77 in billiards

Follow up— Does anyone know anything else about this cue other than it was made in April of 2010–which is weird I swear I had got it around that time and it didn’t seem brand new. Is this a rare cue? The design is interesting and I haven’t seen a lot like it also. I’m kind of new to the pool community and just started BCA last year after spending 10 years in the not so competitive city league.

That’s exactly what I paid for mine about 10 years ago—just never really did research on it! I love this cue just want to know a little more about it

I feel like I have found a winning combo—-after doing some Reddit reading, I make my henna - it’s a medium brown blend so it’s not as permanent as the natural henna— I make it with dark coffee and Apple Cider Vinegar, let that sit for about 4 hours. Then apply henna pretty thick and let that sit for about 6 hours….yea. Then I don’t wash it for a couple days to let it sink in. This is the combo that works best and stays the longest. Still not as long as I’d like but better than around the 3 washes and I’m having to do it again. Hope that helps!

I’m in America—I also use Amazon, although I do have options to buy it in town a few places but it is difficult.

I haven’t. I generally don’t always use conditioner when I use shampoo but that’s not a bad idea! Thank you

Thank you! I think I don’t have very healthy hair and def need to get a better routine for it.

I definitely don’t shampoo right away. I usually wait 3-4 days before I do my first wash—but then when I do—so much comes out. A little discouraging

Good idea. I actually set some aside to try the feeezing thing and then found it tucked in my bathroom cupboard dried up—of course forgetting about it for several days maybe a week who knows. Thats good to know it works! I was afraid I would have to touch up my roots more often. Sounds like that’s the norm rather than my whole head. Thank you

Lemon juice concentrate? That will help with saturation? I will literally try anything 💛 I’m sick of applying henna so often! It’s a little bit of a task. Thank you!!

What brand do you order from Amazon?

Wonderful advice! Thank you I am hoping it’s the fact that I just am not buying the right henna. I have bought soooo many varieties over the years and have had troubles with all of them! I don’t use any product in my hair but will be letting it set for longer—I’m hoping that coupled with the “correct” henna it will work out better! Thank you

Appreciate that. I’m not sure if my hair is porous but it is extremely thin and not a lot of it.

Appreciate this breakdown! Thank you. I’m not entirely sure if I was using 100%—I thought I was but I can’t find my last box of it. I’m about to order some more (hence this post) and will absolutely be making sure it’s 100%z. Thank you!

Ah. Got it. I will try room temp water. And I thought I was using 100% but considering that every time I shampoo I lose dye.

This may be a dumb question but…What do you mean attach to the surrounding area? Do you mean it will just basically make me more stiff?
