Update on sallys hair extensions LMAO... So i used the same set of hair for about 8 months then finally decided its time to get new hair. Well I already had 200 strands of malibu satin strands so i was like whatever i'll just use it its never been used. At the same time i decided i want black too so i put 60 strands on the bottom and the other 200 for the rest of the head. Only the black seem to be sliding out for what reason i dont know. its okay though i wanted some on the top for some treaks lol. well the ones on the bottom (and only the black) keep slipping like really bad. i dont understand and dont know what do to. plus the balck ones seem to knot up more than any of my blond. im lost any input or should i just go bohym already?

I have eextensions.com in right now and they seem to be working well so far. They say they are indo-european. Do not use the loop fusion because they have a design flaw with a hollow tip which allows the shampoo and sebum to enter the tip and causes them to pull out in one week. I retipped them and reinstalled them and they are rocking so far! Next time I will buy the itips and silicone lined links. As far as Sallys and Tease brand hair I am truly out a ton of money and totally dissapointed in them! They damaged my own hair (which had fallen out due to a medication I was on, and the reason that was why I started with extensions in the first place) pulling more out. I have wasted thousands on both those brands and only came up with bad extensions and ugly dry yucky looking hair. I will keep everyone posted on the er extensions, but so far I love the quality of the hair! They are not that expensive but they come from Canada so they have to go through customs. I think I paid around $20 for 10 peices to a package. I bought 10 packages and all are in for the second time around and I have only lost 3 in 3 weeks so far. Good luck everyone!

For the record I want everyone to know IF you do use satin strands malibu or topez and you use a purple shampoo and or conditioner DO NOT let it get on the extensions. It will take forever to get the blue tone out I had to take all the extensions out because they went like a gray white after I got the blue out, but I didn't put the purple shampoo in on purpose it was an accident of not paying atteniton I swear lol.

I wonder if the Brazilian Keratin treatment would bring the strands back to life. Next time I do BKT I'll have the strands in, and I'll let you know the outcome.

ALWAYS GET THE LARGE ONES the ONLY reason they even sell the small beads is for those who pre tip there own hair. meaning not already tiped. Yeah they use to sell the satin strands I tip hair in 100 packs for like $80 now they have discontinued those and gone with 20 packs. The ONE thing I hate most about that hair is after a few weeks it dries out and the ends get yuky so i would suggest to leave the ends a little longer so you can trim them periodically or as needed. I hope all works out and have fun. oh post some pic when you are done we always love to see the outcome

I just wanted to input that I have done my own install with satin strands using the micro bead method and it is very easy. If all your doing is some highlights I would do probably 1-3 in a row then space your natural hair depending on how wide you want the highlights to look. Here are some videos that will show you rather than tell you so you have a better idea. Keep in mind a lot of these are more for a full head install but it's all the same when it comes down to the micro install. As for me if all you want is some highlights I would go with the micro bead because if you decide to take them out or rearrange or dont like them or whatever it is a lot easier for you especially for the first time. =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLRS0R_2Gzs&feature=PlayList&p=FE3BD44E84298178&index=27 that video is a good one but you will not find the loop tool at sally's you will have to use the hook tool which is just as easy. hope it helped and good luck.

BKT is the newest way to straighten & smooth hair. It makes frizzy hair feel like silk for months. It's much better than Japanese straightening which makes hair too straight, lifeless and resistant to curl. My hair is coarse, gray, frizzy and thick naturally. After BKT my hair is shiny, smooth, bouncy with a slight wave, and I can curl my hair with a round brush. It's miraculous. It cost $225 for a 2 hour treatment in which they coat the hair with Keratin and flat iron. It's been 2 months, and my hair is still great. My hair is so healthy that no hair falls out in the shower. Amazing. My stylist in Vegas travels the U.S. doing BKT.
Longhairaddict, Would you please describe the method you use to install the Satin Strands? Do you use glue, cold fusion, micro beads? Can you do it yourself? How much does it cost?
Thanks, LV

Yes, it was the Sally's Satin Strands I used. I thought they were more but maybe I just bought alot of them. Keep in mind I bought the very dark brown and I think others have been talking about the lighter colors so if you are going with highlights you might not have as good of results.
What is a Brazilian Keratin Treatment?

Was it Sally's Satin Strands premium remi I Tips for $19.99 that you used? I'd love to use a strand by strand method, because I just want a few highlights. Can you give me some tips?
I used Pantene Smooth conditioner for over 5 years. You're right. It makes any hair like silk. I had to stop using it because I had Brazilian Keratin Treatment, and you can't use anything with sodium chloride. Luckily, I love the shampoo & conditioner that comes with BKT.
Keep using Pantene smooth. It's so inexpensive that you can saturate your hair with it. I've tried hundreds of conditioners. Pantene smooth is the best.

I installed the 18" I tips about 2 months ago and really like the hair. I shower in warm water, use pureology and blow dry and flat iron. I'm really rough on hair too.
I still use pureology shampoo but I have fallen in love with Pantene Smooth conditioner and even though I know Pantene is a crappy brand this stuff makes anything silk! Maybe that is the reason? Or it could be that I have the darkest brown?
I've been wearing bohyme for years and I find this comparable. Maybe I just got a good batch and I probably won't buy it again because I usually go for much longer hair but otherwise I consider it a success.
