Shedding......heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!

My fusion is shedding like a moulting dog!  I can't figure out what went wrong.  I used the hotpot and dipped the ends of the hair in the glue making sure that the hair was completely covered on all sides.  Then I attached the hair and rollled.  After rolling I used the edge of a flatiron to slightly re-melt everything together and re-rolled  for a better bond.   So why is everything shedding so badly? 

I'm not sure, hopefully someone else can help you... did you also use nail glue over the tip?

Bird, if your getting good penetration of the glue into the hair and forming a good rolled bond you shouldnt be having serious shedding issues. Those are generally the only two things that contribute to serious shedding. Other than that the only things I might think could be the problem, would be the brand of fusion glue or possible products in the hair or oil in the hair prior to application. I would wash with a clarifying shampoo (or some even use dawn dishsoap prior to installation of some methods) and definitely no conditioner on hair.

I gave up on hand fusion because I just couldnt get it the method down to at T. Have you seen the fusion demo on Drlocks. site where you prebond your strands first them just add a bit more glue before applying to the natural hair? It seems like it may be a little easier, might be worth a try.

This is a good question for Kristin!
