New and stumped

Didnt see your post LD or I would have answered you in my other reply....no Ive never experienced any damage from LG bonded wefts. I do occassionally switch back to that method on occassion, when I want to give my hair a rest from single strand extensions. I like the fullness that I can achieve from the single strand applications. I can get alot more hair on my head. But I also like bonded wefts because it is so much easier to apply and remove. 

What I will say about LG is that it is a PAIN to work with! It gets stringy like hot glue does, and that drives me nuts...LOL Also if you only want temporary bonds....DO NOT do the sandwich technique with LG. I made that mistake and they were a BITCH to get out after week ( I installed some crap hair that I couldnt stand and it had to come back out LOL) Until the liquid gold bond starts to break down on its own its pretty tight and secure, and with the sandwich technique they are gonna stay put for awhile.

If you can get your hand on ChrissyV glue and want to spend the $$, that bonding glue is awesome. And its easier to remove than LG

For the difference in price I choose to put up with the stringiness and the little extra patience it takes to remove LG. And I also get a slightly longer lasting bond from LG

well 300 seems pretty reasonable priced for loose extensions. Actually thats CHEAP, compared to what some people have paid. Do you happen to know what brand of hair that you are currently using? How many tracks do you wear?

How you take care of the hair, your maintanence and styling routine can all affect how long the hair will last. Also being in the lighter blonde range means that the hair is pretty processed and isnt going to last as long as darker hair will.

I would suggest that if you choose to stay with wefts for sew ins. That you try (as mocha suggested) checking out the RK hair. Bohyme is also another tested and well reviewed brand. And Extensions-plus gets good reviews too, but is a little more expensive.

Thank you so much. The verdit seems to be that the fusion isn't all that better than the tracks. Apparently it will cost me @ 300 to do it all with fusion. The reason I would want to switch is because of how  nuch hair I shed and my hair tangles .. really bad. When it rubs acrosas my back and shoulders it just looks like a giant mess... I'm geting new hair with the track every 8 weeks. Spending about 200. It may be the type of hair ( she says it's remi) but it goes dull, dry and gets real thin. I moisturese 5 min when I wash my hair 3 times a week. Supposedly the hair with the fusion is better.

 I appreciate your repiles they have helped.

* sigh* Too bad there's not a way to try both.

keratin is no 'healthier' for your hair than any other glue. Its glue...plain and simple! Even though lots of companies like to tip toe around the word and use lots of descriptions (like, 'organic protein bond') to make it 'sound' like something natural and superior to glue.

Any method of extensions has its pros and its cons. And every method has potential to cause damage. Having said that though, I think fusion has the potential to be much more damaging than many other methods.

Now on the other side of that. I have worn fusion extensions for a long period of time, with only a small amount of damage. But I am VERY careful, and careful removal is major important. I also color and highlight my naturally dry hair, so whether the damage is from the chemicals or the extensions is really not known.

Ive recently backed off of the nearly platinum hair. I dont highlight as much and Ive switched my method to shrinkies, to 'try' and get my hair into a little healthier state.

fusion is (almost) never better then sewn in.  Sounds like she's trying to get more money.
