here's a ?...i know over on the BHM boards many of the ladies who wear lacefronts use "knot sealer" to keep the LF's from shedding. i wonder if something like that would work on a weft? i'm not sure how it dries, i assume clear or it would show on a LF also? i don't know much about it other than it is a spray, not a tube of glue.
perhaps diva (or someone who is a member of both bhm and this board) could pose that question over there?
I posed the weft sealing question on BHM recently.. NO ONE suggested the knot sealer.. but I've looked into it myself because I was thinking the same thing.. The application would be difficult because it is a spray, and it eventually has to be reapplied..

Don't know what their replacement is for the softwear line..
They have a number of options ... like this:
It's a new processed texture that's some of the curliest Indian Remy I've personally seen. This is from the same EP supplier so I know they can get it. Maybe they don't have much demand for it or maybe they're lining up to get it?
On the topic of wefting, I'm not a fan of the zig zag or hand-tied because of the gapping between hair strands:
EP sealed that weft so there's little to no shedding but it needs to be doubled/tripled over for a full look.
The no-shed/no beard flex wefts (like on EP and Elite) have that full flow coming right out of it so you're wearing full hair from tip to end:
A well-constructed weft that needs no additional work is a beautiful thing. :)

I'll find out Saturday.. I'm going on another reconnaisance mission for the girls on BHM to checkout all the different curly textures..

Amen.. I'm not fond of wefts you can't cut, but I have been reconsidering my position on this in the name of my "hair research"

I emailed Aphrodite yesterday. I hope to hear from her as well.

It seems that shedding are happen in many extension users there.I advice you can reuse the hair again .use a glue pot ,and some glue grains ,you can make the pre-bond hair yourselves in your home there.
also you can use the weft glue to refix your hair .
Hey everyone.. Aphrodite's on vacay.. I've been in touch about the hair I have, and she promises me she'll resolve it.. I'm gonna copy Aphrodite's message posted on the BHM

Hola! Chicas!!
Having a great time but am sorry to hear about a few issues with shedding...not everyone is having this problem but I am ALL OVER IT! My supplier has been notified that this must be corrected and quality must be consistent. If anyone is having an issue, please PM me and I will work with you until you are satisfied. My tentative gameplan is to machine reinforce all wefts.
Thank you all for your feedback and I appreciate you not giving up on the GORGEOUS hair!!! I will either solve the problem, or find a different supplier. In the meantime, we will deal with it individually as a problem arrises.
I have already PM'd her to tell her that unless she has the correct equipment for it that machine reinforcing the wefts could damage the hair.. So I'm not sure what plan B is.. but I will let you ladies know how my situation is resolved.. I'm not worried.. She's very concerned about making the customer's happy.. so that's a very good thing in my book..

Nice idea, except I don't want to HAVE to fix hair that is shedding so terribly after I paid for it.. Plus I would have to clean that glue off and reinforce again in order to reuse the hair.. Nice idea.. but not for me.. No thanks..
I'll deal with very light shedding (a strand or two here and there), but this shedding is a LOT more than a strand or two..

LOL Diva I TOTALLY am Hearing you!

Well I got mine installed on Monday, and it is totally shedding!! I feel like a cancer paitent. I was at my neighbors house and she noticed a huge wad of hair in the middle of back, good thing I wasn't at the store or people would think that I had some major disease going on. I love the way the hair feels, but I am very disappointed with the shedding.
I will post pic on a new thread soon.
I too have contacted Laura, but have not heard back from her.

WOW!!!! That hair is gorgeous
I would probably be willing to commit a crime to have that
Also... I have worn lacefronts and used knot sealer... I dont think it
would work to stop regular wefts from shedding but I could be
wrong... Its is a very liquid like spray... I would try some fray
block 1st if u are trying to prevent shedding... Once the weft is in
your head I dont know of any product that would stop shedding....

I haven't installed the hair yet, and the hair is shedding in CLUMPS when I brush it or run my fingers through it.. It shouldn't shed on the weft like that..
