Matting!!! Advice please..

Hi chick, this can be caused either by rubbing your hair when shampooing or a dry scalp.  Dont worry as it is easily removed with the oil based remover.  Your scalp may be dry for a number of factors which may also be due to you not being allowed any conditioner etc on this area.  

Just sent you an email there too chick.

Hey chick,  You dont need to seperate the matting as you may damage your hair whilst doing soon especially if you are just pulling your hair appart. This is easily corrected whist you are getting your extensions maintained.  If however it is causing you some discomfort it may be because you have tried separating the hair which will pull on your roots or it may be that your extensions have grown down alot more? Where are you getting the discomfort?

I also have alot of matting, and when I had GL's I was told to rip them, now I know that you should NOT do that.  But, this time around I was tring to be super careful and bought a looper brush, but I still get alot of matting.  I am always playing with the shrinks, hoping that I can seperate them, but I am left with a few areas that are all linked together with tangles.  I am going to take them out early next week hopefully I will be able to work thru the tangles without losing much hair.

?, when you say they can be taken care of during routine maintance appt.  What exactly are you doing during the maint. appt?

I tell all my clients to contact me if they have any probs but i wasn't contacted about any probs re this so this is my first knowledge of ickledee having these probs.  Preferably i would like to see any clients so i can see exactly what they are telling me but based on this post this is my reponse....

Hi Sherrie - from what she has written i understand that the matting is between the bond and scalp and not in between rows or colums therefore by sepatating the bonds she will be damaging her hair at the root area imo because separating the bonds is not possible until removal / maintanance as the matted hair is trapped in the bond and until the bond is removed, brushing over it will just pull and snap at the hair.  However i undertand that if the matting was between rows or colums that what you say is a good suggestion for that. Ickledee is this what you are meaning?

Ickledee - I have just emailed you re this...Call me so i can get more info on this.  I'll really need to take a look also i feel it would be a good idea for me to go over all your aftercare again as alot of the things coming up seem to be things we discussed, just so you understand as with it being your first set of extensions its important your aware of certain things. The bonds shouldnt be soft at this point so i think a visit will be good so i can take a look.

Rae- I agree
