It seems like I read somewhere on the internet that so.cap. italy was european hair.

envoy13: Is there any way to make regular bonds flat when applying, like by pressing the bond between a flat plated fusion wand?

Shirilyn: When you say that they teach you how to seal the ends of the extensions, are you talking about individual bonds? Does this keep the moisture out?

I have 2 sample strands of the Vision hair Extensions.   These gals are in Keene, NH and I will be going to get my hair done within the next couple months.  The hair itself feels very silky and fine.  The bond tip is flat, not stick or U, and without logo.  I can't tell if it's asian or indian.  I know that they used SoCap for a long time, so I wonder if they have gotten thier own label so to speak. 
 
I Will beinstalling the strands today to test them out and see how they wear in my hair. 
 
I have been talking with Marissa...She is very nice and seems knowledgable.  My one problem with them is that they say 4-6 months for install time.  WE all know that goes against the tried and true 3 month timeline...

Hollandblue jay,
 
If you have a flat bond tip (i guess now Vision is making their own like socap?) then its easier to create a flat bond.Ive tried doing it with nail tips/u-tips and it was a little harder. The reason is you have to fold it like an envelope the corners first forward, and the corners back. I guess its a little hard to describe. But to my knowledge just using a purging tool to make the bonds flat will not be enough. You have to really make sure that the entire hair is sealed with the bond because if it isnt, then water/moisture can penetrate and weaken the bond, thus causing the bond to loosen and fall quicker. But you know you girls on this forum are so talented, Im sure someone can figure it out, or at the very least someone should put 2 or 3 bonds this way and see how long they last.
 
asinnamon-please keep us posted on this vision hair. Im very curious now about it. What are the prices for their hair? In terms of 4-6 months, this is possible, if they do touch-ups every 6 weeks. For instance, I replace any hair that is fallen, and if I see that some bonds are too low I also remove them at that time. In other words, I hope that its not like you get your extensions and then they dont see you for six months (that sounds scary).
But if they have you come in periodically to see how your bonds are doing , to remove low ones, and to replace some that have fallen, I think its possible to wear them for 4-6 months. All this system does is avoid a complete take down and re-application.
 
Have fun with your new hairLOL
