Sewn In Wefts & Matting

metalgirl wrote: The hair was simply 'bad' hair.  That's the problem with human hair, it's inconsistant in quality. I think you did not get what you paid for.  For the money you paid, you should have received hair where all the cuticles are alligned in a dowardward position, as they would be growing out of your head.  Because the hair matted up so quickly, I would guess that this hair is not 'cuticle hair' (or some call it 'remi' hair) and most certainly not European hair! The fact that it was applied as a weave is not relevant.  This hair would have matted no matter what the application method was. I would call the lady and tell her what happened.  If she is a good, professional extensionist, she will stand behind her products and provide you new hair, at no charge. Good luck!

Thanks  for your advice:)

I did wonder about the hair itself ! I was told it was a better quality than the hair I originally picked ,  It was also more expensive .

I never had any problems with matting when the other different applications were used, basically I thought never this type of method again!!  thanks for restoring my faith ,I will have a word with the extensionist

Hiya I'm Joanne from the UK  Glad to have found this fantastic site.. I'm  another newbie looking for advice..  So here goes

Over the last few years I have had individual glued in type extensions, unfortunately this method ruined my hair, I guess a along with using ghd straighteners it hasn't helped my hair. My hair is now very frizzy and fragile & broken ..

A few weeks ago I decided to try the sewn in wefts in order to give my own hair a rest, An African lady put this in for me and I was really pleased with the end result,and also the fact I only needed to straighten what was left of my own hair on the top. I used expensive European human hair.. Unfortunately to my disbelief when I washed and conditioned it the second time it turned to a mass of Matt , it took me around an hour or more to get the mass out, I ended up totally frustrated and upset..I did all the usual stuff before washing  it (combing out any tangles ect) I had to get the wefts takenback out never even had them in a month , a total waste of £250.00 Can anyone tell me where I went wrong??does this always happen with sewn in wefts? any advice greatly appreciated
