Talkes Slippage W/Hairpolice

I mentionned a while back that I had a pinchbraid client on whom I did a super tight install, that I was keyed about.  It looked cleaner than any work I'd ever done and was a really nice install in my opinion. 

    I can't say offhand how many installs I've done,  but I did the training in Oct. of last year, so not too many.

    Anyway,  within some really short time period, every single one of the buggers slipped out. Someone suggested talking to hairpolice to see what they said.

     So,  I finally got around to it and the reply,  (i'm hoping I paraphrase in a worthwhile way.  Basically she said when the hair is really slippery it just doesn't work.

    Initially I was like "thanks,,,,(bee---hotch)" 

    But I did a pinchbraid install on a chick with ridiculously knackered hair on wed.  And those braids just tightened right up like nobodies business.   I was actually comforted by the reply, because those Hairpolice chicks aren't liars like so many others in this business.

     So,  I guess the conclusion (which we've all come to by now)  is that no one method is right for everyone,  you've got to have two or three under your belt.  But for the chick with stupidly damaged hair,  pinchbraiding is the safest and a pretty secure option.

    So.... cheers.

Juliejetson.....

What do you do when you use synthetic like PH or Dome on slippery hair?....pretty much the same thing?

  Thanks you all.  Julie,  I have noticed that using hairspray only works if you put it on either the extension hair or the section from the head but not both... so there must be something to what you are saying.

    Metalgirl.  I really want to try the spirit gum... I'm just having a hard time getting some.  I've only seen it in a liquid gold format  (in a bottle with a brush) and it seems like it would be a nightmare to apply.  I need to order some and check that out.  thanks
