I wanted to know if there were any methods to stop matting around the bonds when you use hot fusion?

 

U have read a few things that say to not leave spaces between rows, but one the matting starts what is the best way to undo it without taking out the hair installed?

Also what is the best type of hair to use for those of Chinese origin in order to matach the thickness? 

              

Thank you ladies x

You should use a looper brush to brush the bond area. The looper will brush without catching or snagging on the bonds. Def. keep those bonds seperated so they dont mat or tangle. If you take the time everyday to take care of that area you shouldnt have alot of matting. Some is to be expected and probably cant be avoided.

would I lift up each row and brush under it and work my way around or just brush as I normally would?

Both....take the tiome each day to really get to the bonds well and then a couple of times a day brush as you normally do.

def looper brush, that's HUGE, also, separate spare hairs with your fingers. Once you have a matt though, I would say take it out if you can, depending on how bad it was, I didn't and I lost a couple chunks of hair, so becareful!
