Please don't add Bag Balm to your yarn, it will not do what you want and will just make it sticky and then be difficult to get out when you want to If your yarn is falling apart you are either drafting it too thin for the weight of your spindle, or you aren't adding enough twist to the yarnSaliva will help felt the fibers together, which really isn't what you want eitherTry attenuating your roving (pre-drafting it), by splitting your roving in quarters lengthwise and then, keeping your hands just over a fiber length apart, stretch the roving gently just to get the fibers to start to slide apart easily (you'll feel this happen)Attenuate the roving until it is just a little thicker than you want your finished yarn to beThen wrap the elongated roving around the wrist of your drafting hand to use it as a distaff Also, use a long enough leader so that you aren't trying to draft right at the top of the spindle shaft, you need a few inches of spun yarn to build up twist while you draftAnd remember, the heavier your spindle, the thicker your unspun roving, and spun singles have to be, otherwise they won't be able to support the weight of the yarn and spindleIf you want to spin really thin yarn you need a lightweight spindleIt also helps to be patient with yourself, tooIt takes a bit of retraining your brain to do thisOther things that may help you are to spin the spindle, let the twist build up, then hold the spindle between your knees and then draft the yarn and let the twist run up into it; treat your suspended spindle like a supported spindle by resting the point on a table or the floor and spinning from thereMany times it helps you mentally to learn to spin if you aren't also worrying that the spindle will drop an break.
My hair stylist (and good friend) recommends the chi as the best brand of straightenerIt's really important to use a thermal protection spray while straighteningMy friend also told me that using a high quality smoothing shampoo and conditioner (like Redken's Smooth line) helps the straightener work better, no matter what brand you haveIt works for my unruly hairGood luck!
