Hair Extensions

I know I have far too much time on my hands to do two Google searches and find out what this was.  I mean really must have taken all of five minutes...

And part of the reason we want t o know exactly what things are is that we would be really excited to hear about a NEW method.  Look how well people here took to extendtubes and shrinkies.

Cough cough, now who's the drama queen on this board???

Word, Amanda. It's getting real old.

To clarify: If it's an adhesive, it's glue; if it sticks to your hair, it's glue; if you need a "solution" to remove it, it's glue. Buyer beware: Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

And enough already with, "Well, the company says it's not glue.... It's a specially designed protein-keratin nylon-polymer formula, blah, blah, blah.... " Any professional stylist who's making a healthy profit off these services should be responsible for having a little common sense and being able to wade through this irresponsible and misleading advertsing.

True, glue is fine for some. But I'd like to see this stylist explain to the client who adamantly doesn't want fusion why she's melting an adhesive into their hair. Huh? Smells like fusion to me. And honestly, this kind of thing should be grounds for a lawsuit, imo.

In addition, it's ridiculous to say that any extensions "last" for 5 months. Even for slow-growing hair, the growth from the root would require removal sooner. True, the glue will probably last forever, but leading clients to believe their extensions will is just absurd.

It never ceases to amaze me how adamant the state boards are about licensing and such, yet anyone straight out of cosmetology school who with a dollar, a dream, and a half-day's worth of "training"  seems to have carte blanche to propograte lies about their products and services.

Yeah, maybe we should delete this ad.

It does look like it is pretipped fusion after looking at a few more salon sites

But glue is glue.  Some glue is worse than other glue but...

In fact it is fusion

from  http://www.kingshead.com/salon/extensions.shtml

"The Hair Dreams system contains a thermalplast adhesive. Thermoplast is made of the keratin protein, which is found in the hair naturally in textures and blends, creating an appropriate match for your particular wants and needs."

Who cares if it's glue or whatever, it bonds to the hair and is easily taken out.

Hi Erin, is it fusion method you use but only with a different type of glue?

Generally, no--we're not supposed to advertise, especially if our only participation in the boards is creating new threads advertising our own products and services. That never goes over well.

Of course, quite a few members here are stylists, and potential clients do come on the site asking for references in their area. A few members are also hair sellers, so sometimes they chime in about how different products work, etc., which I, for one, find quite helpful. And a lot of us trade/purchase products to sample from each other. I don't know that these things would be considered advertising, though.

Perhaps Karen should clarify exactly where the line is drawn.

Can you tell us a bit more about this, like how its attached and if you can wear it for 5 months what happens to your regrowth how doesn't it matt?
