sewn in hair extensions

Yeah. I dunno, maybe I've just got sandpaper fingers, but I couldn't tell the difference etween regular Dome and Prolin. Aside from the color, that is- and I wasn't even that impressed with the colors. It's nothing I couldn't do with two shades of monofiber and a paddle brush.

Hi!
I was just talking to the London hair company for Dome and he
said that his Prolin is nicer than the Monofiber. Both from the
same company. I agree {my opinion}.

Personally I like Prohair, Prolin and can't wait to get my
Plastikhaar! After using Prohair, my clients do not want the
Monofiber. {shrug}

Prostyles, Prohair, Prolin, Dome and Plastikhaar are all monofiber - aka high quality kanekalon synthetic fiber.  They are all pretty much, if not exactly the same thing, even coming from the same manufacturer half the time.

Hi Genie

ProStyles and Dome is the same technique.  It is called heat sealed.  It uses a 3 stem braid and the fiber is wraped around and sealed.

Dome also has monofiber.  It is a 4 box braid which utilizes 2 stylists.  Prolin or Prohair is very similar and better than the Monofiber- in my opinion.

I am always looking for good hair- human and synthetic.  Where is this company?  You can PM me.

Thanks, Charlene

Well, I just washed it for the first time and one of the braids has come out and a couple of the tracks are hanging...I pinned them up with bobby pins.  I will call the salon first thing in the morning to have it fixed....

Hi Daisyjen;

I used to do cornrows 16 years ago, since then, I have invented
my own 'track' methods without the use of braids and still
continue to invent more alternatives in my practice.   

Although there are many ways to do a 'track' , 'anchor', 'cornrow'
to sew onto a weft, maintenace is very similar. Weaves are a
great inexpensive option. Plus the hair is reusable too!

Brush your hair from the bottom up using a soft bristle brush.
Wet hair, pour shampoo in hand, rub and massage into hair.
Never pile hair. Massage top going down, massage well in the
internal and squeeze out dirt.
Use conditioner the same way.
Blow dry your scalp thoroughly to keep 'track' from smelling.
If scalp is itchy, use a skin toner. Some people don't know this,
but the scalp is an extension of the face. So treat it the same
way. Sleep with your hair in a low ponytail on a satin
pillowcase.
If you go swimming or workout, carry a blowdryer with you to
keep the roots dry. Also tie hair in a ponytail before swimming.
Brush 3x daily {carry your hair brush everywhere you go, like
you would your cellphone} to keep shedding hairs face down.
Don't be afraid to brush the roots.

All my best;
Charlene
PS. I agree with Rae. The best hair extensionists would be
completely thorough with their clients as far as maintenace is
concerned. That's the most important thing! Next time
choose someone who cares but call up the salon because it's
their responsibilty.

Hey Daisy,  I'm in Michigan,  but if you want to check out something really cool.  Check out the Hairpolice websit www.hairpolice.com and do a zip code search to see if they have a stylist near you.  That's the method JennyRR has.  It's really good.... I'm not just saying it cause I'm an affiliate.

I totally want to second the recommendation for a satin pillowcase.  I think you can get one for about $5 from tenderheaded.com or the like.  Do a web search.  Especially with wefts I think they can tangle easily unless you braid them or tie them up and sleep on a smooth pillowcase!!!

one layer of weft per track then that isn't a ridiculous amount.

But it's not abnormal to think "whoa this is soooo much hair"


with wefts the one thing I have found is that you have to be extra careful to hold the hair with one hand and brush/comb with the other so that you don't helpt he weft to shed.

aside from that all the noraml.  widetooth comb often wash as little as possible etc etc

I don't wear human so??? I don't have too much more to offer

First of all, your stylist should have told you how to take care of your hair. I'd recommend calling the salon and asking your stylist for care instructions, 'cause it is their responsibility.

Braided-in wefts shouldn't damage your hair, if done right. You can wash your hair normally (I'm assuming you have human hair sewn in), but try to wash it as little as possible (about 203 times a week) to avoid overdrying it and use a leave-in conditioner (in addition to shampoo and rinse-out conditioner) to protect the extension hair. A detangling product may also help.
