QuoteReplyTopic: Fusions shedding really badly Posted: October 24 2005 at 12:20pm
hi all,
I had human hair fusions done 5 weeks ago, and had shedding from the first wash, and instead of calming down, the shedding has got worse each time i wash my hair. It is so bad that I am scared to wash my hair.
My scrunchies are falling out of my pony tails,and I feel that i am almost back to where i was 5 weeks ago. I have felt the fusions, and it feels like lots of them, are just the glue left, attached to my own hair. Any ideas why this has happened, and any ideas how to fix this,,
HELP!!!
thanks
Kim

why dont u go back to the girl that did your hair she will know best and if there is any problems u should let her know so she can fix it. ive never had fusion and it might jsut be the natural shedding but im sure she will be able to advise you and get it sorted
Yes I would call her. She has come on the board often and sounds like a very nice person and quite profesional too. Many of the girls have had there hair done by her and were pleased so give her a ring as soon as you can.
Sounds like unfortunately you have used a product that has broken down the bonds. Unfortunately this does sometimes happen. Ring your stylist and go through with her step by step exactly what your routine has been since they were installed. There is no point her doing more work on your head if the same thing is going to happen it will be far too distressing for both of you. The bonds don't just go like that, something has happened, it could be the simplest of things so don't worry x
i have used Loreal shampoo and conditioner, the glue fusions, feel tacky still in my hair,, some feel soft,, not sure about that,, i am going to pick up the phone and ask,,
thanks

definitely try to contact her but I had the same experince with my heat seals at 5 weeks and if it is more than four weeks you'll have to pay for the replacement strands, or maybe her policy is different for fusion. I just ended taking them out at 5 weeks, my hair just didn't work with that method I think.

There are a hundred and one reasons that cause shedding in fusion. I'm not going to comment on them all, but rather make an observation. You said that the shedding began on the very first wash. In my experience, even crappy fusion glues and overall bad fusion jobs last through the first wash.
That being said, I also have had fusion that sheds at the very first wash. Then I also had fusion by the same person, with the same brand of glue, using the very same technique, and it didn't shed at all. So what was the difference? The only thing I could say was different was the brand of hair.
What brand of hair was used?
I could be completely wrong, but I have this hypothesis that hair that has been coated with lots of silicone (or whatever other stuff they use to make it look shiny and lusterous) sheds because the glue won't hold the silicone. That's why I think some brands of hair have held so much better on me than other brands.
I could be completely wrong though, that's just my guess made from my own observations.

i bought hair from His & Her hair, which was recommended to me, but i dont think it is the hair, it was good hair, i believe,, i think that maybe it is the glue?? should the glue still be soft and sort of sticky in my hair?
I think your on to something bird. The fusion chips I just got from hair compond recomend washing extension hair and diping roots of it in rubbing alchoal. some hair is quite coated.

Kimbers...absolutely NOT... the glue should form a hard bond. Some glues vary in consistancy and will get somewhat flexible. But should never feel soft or sticky. It sounds like bad glue to me...or something caused the bonds to break down

ok, so i went upstairs to get the shampoo i use,, Loreal Kerastase shampoo, and conditioner, and they cost me good money..LOL.. so they should not be the problem, and i hardly brush it, i normally brush the ends ,per the instructions that came with the hair, and hold my scalp while i brush the rest of it, so that i cant pull any out, and i have a boar bristle brush,, so i am really confused,,
i am thinking that i should take them out, and go and pay the premium price for GL,, as they stay??

right now, i think that i have globs of glue in my own hair, with no additional hair,, the soft glue bonds, feel very thin, like there is just my hair left, so now i have to figure out , how to get these glue globs out,, i know that i used rum to take out the GL, but not sure how to go about getting this sticky glue out??
rum? wow I have never heard of that, but I like the sound of it!
you could try some oil to see if it will break it down with out damaging your own hair, like the shrinkie remover, or veggie oil. Maybe you should try to find out what kind of glue it is first.

yes i used STROH rum, it is 180% proof,, pretty lethal stuff,, i had a few drinks after sitting for 9 hours getting out the GL,, and was not well afterwards,, i did not realize that it was such powerful liquid,,LOL,,
but i think that i must try find someone in seattle that does not charge an arm and a leg for GL,,

Did you ever get ahold of Boogiemama? What does she recommend? I would hate to see you use the wrong kind of remover and end up with a huge hairball mess.
That sounds weird! Even some of the worst bonds I've tried lasted at least three weeks before I was shedding badly.
By the sounds of the texture I'm wondering if they could possibly be wax bonds. I had a girl come in with a full head of those done somewhere else and they took forever for me to get them out. They were extremely tacky to the touch also.
How long did you wait to wash your hair after having them installed? I'm just wondering because this can affect the curing process of the bond. Do you use a round brush? I've found that customers who so shed a lot more than average from the constant pulling while the hair and bond is still damp.
I know Boogiemama does a great job with hair so I'm confused as to what may have caused this.
