That would really suck lol.  I don't plan on any wefts this summer, since I imagine the strand by strand is much cooler.  You could secure your wefts installed with protac with a few micro-rings........that way even if it would come out in the water it should stay in until you get home.
Wearing 22" 8oz Tease I tips installed with silicone microrings.

I usually avoid getting my hair wet anyway when in the pool....Im more of a lounger than a swimmer!

I put my hair up..climb on the float and grab my Margarita....ahhhh Im so ready for summer!

I'm like you, Kristie M.  I stay out of the sun!  I would be more concerned with the chlorine frying the extension hair than making the protac come out, though.  Remember, there is chlorine in your tap water.

Yeah, I think if you are careful with it, it will be okay. Probably if I go to
the beach or in the pool I will just do the 2 braids that I do when I go to
sleep. Because normally, it's SO WINDY and sand just whips all over the
place (you will seriously find sand in places that you didn't know existed
like 3 days later!) So I could see having chunks of sand stuck in my pro-
tacs, but, I will get that out.

If you just take good care of it, I'm sure it wont be a problem.

I know the feeling!!  I am worried that my hair will all of a sudden fall off when I am swimming in the pool.   Can anyone say floatin rat??Pool season starts here in about a month, earlier if we get the warm weather they are predicting.  My neighbor has an indoor pool, and I may have to do a test run in her's to see if the tapes fall apart.  I'll keep everyone updated.

hahaha
Ya, I am a summer girl as well. I love summer and swimming, and I was very curious what the rest of you girls are planning to do during the hot months  I can definately see the hair turning into a rats nest though, which I'm not looking forward to.

wow. WOW. Haha.

I'm the exact opposite. Summer is my time, I spend every moment I can
outside, at the lake, or even by a window

As for me, I was planning on leaving my extensions in when I went to the
water parks in wisconsin dells, but the hair was such a rat's nest that I
had to take it out. So I don't know how it will work out.

I am sure I will have my protacs in and go to the lake, I think it will be
fine. Pools are all I'm really concerned about because of the cholrine, but
I'm going to try that Shampoo-3 because it helps my natural hair with
chlorine so why not the extensions?

Anyways, if worse comes to worse, I can't give up my summer-girl
attitude, in Chicago, you have to appreciate the summer, and, my
apartment doesn't have AC, so I spend those hot days in the lake. So I'll
either switch back to my microlinks or just go with clip-ins when I go out.

I really think those things will stay though, I mean, they make it through
my marathon shower sessions!!

This Protac girl doesn't sun or swim. My guy likes me pale-skinned, the
paler the better...so I stay away from the beach and only go in pools
wearing a hat, covered with 50 SPF sunscreen, and never getting my hair
wet.

I was just wondering what you girls are going to do in the summer time with the Pro-Tac, if you want to go swimming and such? Or do you think the tape would hold up?
