Well, you have my sympathies--that's nonsense, and I really hope you get your money back. I haven't seen consistently good reviews for any pretipped hair, except perhaps the Extensions-Plus stuff.
It would be really cool if some talented pretipper from this board started a pretipping service, where we could just send the hair and get it pretipped and sent back. It might be cool for someone who free time and wants to make some extra cash. I'm just not sure if it's the type of thing that would make sense given how long it takes, what you'd be able to charge, shipping costs, etc.
Thanks, everyone...for the suggestions and feedback. I ended up taking out the hair last night and it looks like a piece of roadkill!
I would love to try the Bohyme, but I've not been able to master pretipping the hair myself. I guess it will just take practice.
My goal (and mission in life) is to get a refund for the hair. At least a partial. It's unacceptable to have only worn the hair for a week and have it mat and tangle after the first wash.
I'll keep you updated! Again, thanks for the support! I was in tears last night over having to take it out.
I wore 101 for quite a while and it worked out just fine, i wore it for like a month and a half and washed it every day. I also used that conditioner i posted.
you could try sil infusion midshaft to ends, its like biosilk only better cause it has no alchol. i ordered hairpiece 101 and installed it yesterday washed afterwards no problem here yet will see though.

I paid but forgot to choose a shipping method. Some guy called after 9pm, closer to 10 to say that he could send me a paypal request for the 4 or whatever.
He sent it to the wrong address. I replied and explained to him that I had paid for the shipping with x address.
He kept sending me requests for gosh, what was it, 2 weeks?
Finally, I just put in another order for the extend tubes and emailed customer service explaining.
They refunded the money for the extend tubes and the shipping.
But geeze, what a PITA!

p.s. Someone recommended the generic Biosilk at Sally's? I got some today, the liters are on sale 2/10.00 and it works on my semi remi microring extensions, just fine :)
Not to add insult to injury, but...what have I always said about hair from hairpiece? It's pure garbage. People have come into their shop screaming that they've been sold crappy hair, and everyone just stands around looking at them, offer no help, nothing. So sorry this happened to you, krs. Really, I wish there was something to be done to keep people from having to go through this nightmare. Next time go with Bohyme. Same price and 100% better hair every time.

I think the flash point hair from hairpiece.com is pure crap! I liked their prices and believed them when they said that they had quality hair, so I ordered enough of the remi 909 to do about 10 clients. Out of those 10 clients that I put that hair on, only 1 client didn't have huge tangling problems. So that is a 90% failure rate, and that's not acceptable, so I will never order from them again.
krs, if youve done everything that the girls have suggested then there probably isnt much hope for the hair. If its tangling and matting this soon its only going to get worse. I would get them out before the tangling gets too bad and starts to tangle your own hair along with them.
I have been using hairpeice 909 on my self and cliants for 6 months or so and this is why Ive been looking for somthing else. It's never the same my last batch was supose to have slight wave and it is so curly (turns out I like this better so wonder how I'll get it again!) But my last bag was like yours tangled while sitting still!! I want to try his and hers stick hair but they dont have a good selection yet. I allso order from short to long but it's the same stuff as hairpeice.
WHEN I HAD HUMAN HAIR... I used this conditioner, I slept with it in from shoulder length down an not to let it slip out from the braids...
It is in the ethnic section of the grocery or drug store (or walmart). $5 I think. When I slept with it in and rinsed it out the next AM, it was so easy to detangle the next am I could use a wide tooth comb in the shower no problem.
I also used this daily on occassion, and randomly as I felt I needed it. I love this stuff. Other people may not recommend doing this, but it REALLY worked for me.
i love plastikhaar

How often do you detangle? Twice a day may not be nearly enough if you bought natural hair that's like mine. I have to detangle every two hours.
You need to detangle before you wash, and wash in the upright position, never upside down. And don't bring the hair up to your scalp to shampoo, leave it hanging and spread your product down to the ends.
Then detangle again with a wide tooth comb while rinsing out the conditioner.
Natural hair in perfect condition can be extremely tangly as a result of the fact that it comes from different people. Some hair just tangles more than others.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?
Thanks, Amm - I pretty much did all of the things you suggested in terms of washing. I just washed the scalp and let the shampoo fall where it may. I made sure to throughly detangle prior to washing.
I think it's a lost cause....this sucks!!!

It was the 20" Remy Flashpoint 909. I'm so mad and sad because I LOVED the look. I'm scared to take them out because the rings will not be able to slide down the hair. I know I'm going to end up with a pile of hair that looks like a rat's nest. I'll try to post pictures of it!
I think I need to let it dry before taking them out...thoughts?
#1 - work on the hair when it's dry. Do not coat with conditioners or wet the hair prior to detangling.
Don't comb down, backcomb the hair, pulling it up little by little out of the tangle.
If you're able to get the knots out, next time when washing, comb/brush thoroughly before shampooing & treat the length very gently. 20" is a lot of hair to wash so just let the lather fall down the length and gently squeeze.
If you have further trouble with your hair, remove all of it because you'll have nothing but problems from this point forward.
