Wawa and Protacs?

Hey everyone. I just took down my wawa install with pro-tacs. I loved that hair a lot more than I thought I would! Except for it taking forever to dry and being scratchy and heavy when wet, it was so perfect! Plus, it's cheap!

So here's my issue. I installed, and washed I would say about 36 hours or so after the install, which is much sooner than normal for me, but I had something important and needed to look...well...no greasy... So then a few days later, the bottom slipped out, so I just took it out, then the ends lifted up on the top back part (which I ended up taking out.)

I ended up re-installing the parts that slipped because I had an event to go to, and wanted nice looking hair, so then, I waited over 48 hours to shower, it was actually about a week because I just washed the top part, and when I finally showered, everything was slipping again!

I am so frustrated, because I never really have had any problems with pro-tacs lately, and I was more careful with them this time. So then, I thought I would take down, so I did a little experiment, I didn't put anything in my hair, I just jumped in the shower and got them wet, and lightly pulled on them, and they came out! All except for the middle ones which I used a little conditioner to ease them out. I am so bummed.

So has anyone else had an experience like this? Was I doing something wrong? Is the wawa too heavy when its wet? Or is it just because wear tight ponytails at work?

I think it's the wawa for some reason, because I never had this problem. But I loved wawa so much I wanted to do more installs with it!

My wawa install was done with LG and it held great. I havent tried wawa/protac.

Naked Eyes, your experience must have been so frustrating, I haven't really had any problems at all with Protac, even with triple wefts.

Perhaps there is/was some kind of oil coating on the synthetic hair that caused the tapes to break down faster? Since you had no trouble with your HH installs but have with the synthetic- I am wondering if the wawa might be the culprit. It might have some sort of treatment on it that does not work well with the tapes.  I do not know about the manufacture of the Synth- so this in only a guess.

In that case, yeah, it's sounds more like a problem of synthetic hair+Protac tape, but it's weird, I remember Aimee doing amazing install with Wawa or Outre synthetic and Protac and she never seemed to have any problem at all with the combination...

Ohh. Man, that's a bummer, because I really hate washing that stuff!!
