My hair problems...

Hey.. I need some opinions!! =)

Okay as some of you know I got my extensions done.. (I got the cinderella hair fushion method)- Well I paid 1,000 dollars for it.. 300 for the hair.. 50 to have it overnighted & she made 650 profit!!  Well, my hair has been shedding like crazy & I know that its to be expected.. but, its shedding SO BAD! and Im afraid its going to get thinner..  yesterday for the first time a bond fell out (I've had them almost 3 weeks) - and like 6 or 7 of my hairs came out with it.. (Im not sure if thats normal) So, I emailed the girl who did my hair & she told me that she has heard of some people shedding alot and it could be because I didnt use enough dishwashing soap in my hair the night before I got my extensions.. (she said it was supposed to dry my hair out so the bonds would stay in better) & that I could come in and she would add some more hair... but I dont want to drop another 500 dollars??? I havent even had them very long! ugh... Can someone give me their opinion on this??

Thanks!

sounds like bullsh**t to me!

Can you post some pics, there are some great stylist on this site, I'm sure they can give you some tips on how to blend your hair.

When ever I put extensions in I always have used `16-20" hair, and I have always been able to blend them seamlessly.

I wash my clients' hair thoroughly before installing a full head.  Then I cut to blend and style it and give them the home care maintenance and products if any.  I tell them to come back in 7 days for a complimentary follow up.  The only way I won't wash the hair is if they are getting my Special F/X - that is adding up to 20 strands of hair.  Cost is $100.

I did a Special F/X with Cinderella hair at one time and had never experienced any shedding.  I find that the shedding is due to improper coating - which means not using enough glue.  One has to use enough glue on the desired strand to be extended.

If it is done properly, I swear to you Cinderella strands WILL NOT shed.  Like I said, I have installed a Special F/X on a client who I told to shampoo her own hair.

Gees, some stylists suck at fusion.

Julzz, you have to compare it to the shedding hairs in your hair brush.  It could mean a lot of things.  You could be pulling or picking on it.  Hair Extensions in the first place is a 'dessert' for the hair.  It is not a 'necessity'- get it?

i spoke with my mum about this is as well - we both have realy really thick hair - and sumtimes in the shower i see hairs that have white heads on them hve fallin out- i know this is meant to mean the hair is being pulled out but i have seen this when ive not been wearing extensions tying my hair in pony or even brushing my hair (cos its curly) same as my mum - therfore i dont think all hairs with white bulbs mean they have been pulled out at the roots - i get them and my hair is thick - maybe if you are gettng lots i would worry but a few i think is fine
