QuoteReplyTopic: Fusions shedding really badly Posted: December 18 2005 at 2:19pm
I was not the only one this happened to, there was pinkpanther as well, and hers only lasted 3 weeks,, and then Poose had a problem with synthetics as well,, so i am guessing it is the glue,,
i usually never wash anyones hair beofre an install unless their hair is greasy. but i do not do fusion. i typicially dont have any problem with someone loosing a lot of strands eitiher. And if they did, i would certainly fix the problem, or help to troubleshoot, regardless of the timeframe. I back my work. Thats what i would expect for myself and i try very hard to treat others as i would like to be treated.
honestly, i am dumbfounded that boogie hasnt replied here nor helped you. I AM sorry this has happened to you.

How about the fact, that she never washed my hair, and asked me when i had washed my hair, which i had done the day before. She is not equiped to wash hair in her home, as she does the extensions in her living room. So my hair was not washed again, and extensions were put in my hair. In my hair, i had my products as well, to make my hair look thicker,,, DOES this explain the problems people are having?
They just came out quicker than when I had them the first time, after 2 months I took them out completely, I contacted Boogiemama about it, and have decided to make another appointment (perhaps for me it was a sign I was not meant to be blue), she did a VERY F#CKIN' good job on the first extensions (blonde), and she's a nice person!
I noticed with the blue they seemed "softer" were my seal was attached, bad glue?
I have my next appointment January 7th, I'll post again about how it turns out...

I'm going to have to politely disagree on that one. I use the pot and still experience shedding. I make positively sure the entire strand, outside, middle, all the way through is saturated with glue. I'm convinced it's something else. I WAS convinced that some hair is too heavily coated with silicone for the glue to stay adhered to.....but I don't know. Some people experience shedding with the same brand of hair that others don't get shedding from. Perhaps it's the amount of glue being used.
I just did a new install because my previous one was shedding like crazy. This time I did a number of things differently. I washed the hair (the ends that would be in the bond) with dishsoap and dried, then dipped in alcohol and dried. I heard this tip from someone else. I also used a crapload more glue than I have been recently. I also used my slender flat iron as a heat wand because for some reason I like using that better than using the heat wand made for extensions......go figure. The last thing I did differently was to make the bonds longer. So we'll see how well this holds up. I'll post results soon.

Sorry Im so late on this one...but I do have something important to add about fusion shedding:
When my stylist uses the gun on my hair, I have TONS of shedding. I now
insist she uses the Pot to tip my hair...and Ive had no trouble. I
think there is a connection between the gun not saturating the whole
bond and only covering the outside not the middle~ versus dipping the
while thing in the pot~ penatrating the entire section of hair,
and therefore resulting in the whole bond being fused together in one
peice. ( If that makes any sence)
I had GL done before,, and had very little shedding, they worked beautifully for my hair,, so i cant figure out why these other fusions did not work,,the glue never hardened,, it remained sticky for the 3 months i had them,,?

I don't know. I'm just baffled and don't want to give up fusion because I have done installs where there was no shedding. I guess I'll have to keep trying to figure it out (at least until I get so frustrated that I actually do give it up).

I am going to south africa next month, and going to get GL done there again,, it only cost $4 per strand,, well worth it,,
i wont be trying fusions again,, the glue remained sticky until i took them out,, i had them sticking to other strands and creating masses of sticky hair,,there was definetly something wrong with that glue,,
Shedding happens with most fusion installs. May times I think it's the glue that breaks down, and sometimes it just wasn't put in properly.
Each strand must be covered with glue or else it will shed. I myself could never master fusion due to shedding problems, so I don't even bother offering it.
So I don't get yelled at, let me say that some people here are very good at doing fusion and apparently it doesn't shed for them, but that's not the experience I have found with myself or with most of the stylists I have talked to who try to do fusion.
I have redone many installs and even bought new hair for clients (out of pocket) when something has gone terribly wrong, but thank goodness with shrink links that doesn't happen a lot!
If Boogie won't help you, I guess just chalk it up to experience and move on. It's her bad karma that will come to haunt her.
Try shrinkies or the protubes next time, I think you'll be happier.
Well I was just doing a search for "shedding" because my fusion is shedding horribly, and ran into this post again. I'm very curious, did your stylist purge the bonds with a heat wand? I'm just trying to figure it out because I'm using the same glue that someone else uses but doesn't have this problem. So I wonder why I have this problem.
Well dayum. This whole thread is despressing; bad installs bad hair, bad glue, bad service, no helping the customer. What the hell, man. I've gotten samples from those suppliers that sell that flashpoint. It blows. Hard.
yes, and i suppose that we should be mad, as it cost us good money, and i believe the stylist should have put new hair in, at no charge,,
i complained from the first week of shedding,, and after the third week, she offered to put more hair in for me, but never got my emails for the next 2 weeks, as her spam 'blocked' my emails, suddenly,,, so after retrieving my emails, 5 weeks later, i was told it was too late ,,
i dont believe that was good customer service, as i was not the only one this happened to,,
thanks for responding

Kim, yes I agree it is the glue, I was just saying the hair as a whole is the problem, not the installation. The hair is not so bad, but they did tangle quite a bit for me.
Well you should feel better that yours lasted 5 weeks, I am only on week 3.
If we are right and the glue is the problem, do you think coating the tip before putting them on the hair would have helped?
