HairLocs Method?

Hi. I wore Hairlocs and had them removed about a month ago. It uses no glue or heat. Its a tiny copper band that attaches the extension hair to your own at the root. The hair is very nice but my guess is its Indian. I liked it at first, but after about 3 months, it got ragged and I was only shampooing about once a week and not heat styling.

I found that the copper attachments really dont hold very well and I lost quite a few just during the first week. I could just pull them out with my fingers so the hair began to look sparse soon after the install.

I went back and she replaced the missing bonds and they seemed to stay in a little better but I dont like a method where you have to be so gentle you can barely put any stress on the hair. It just didnt work for me and possibly because my hair is just too fine and silky textured.

They might work for others with slightly more course hair. Good luck.

I was wondering if you tried out the Hairlocs extensions? I am looking into it and wouldlike to know how yours turned out!! Thanks

hairlocs uses no heat or glue or bonding. did she put one in your hair, show u a portfolio, a web site? refferences? make sure u check all that out.

Hello all- thanks for your advice on my other post.  I just got back from my consultation and the extentionist recommended HairLocs.  I guess it's like a little tube that they put around your hair & then melt it on?  What are your opinions on this method?  Also, she offered to buy the hair for me.  She uses "European" hair- whatever that means.  I said I might buy the hair myself, just because I want to make sure I get the best for my money- I plan to use it again.  Do any of you recommend a website where I can buy high quality hair?  What is the best hair called?  Remy or something? Thanks a lot!
