problems with weave

Okay, I got hair sewn in. The hair itself was $50, and it was nice before the first time I washed it. It's supposedly 100% "premium human hair" but now. it's a frizz mess after i wash it, and it does help if I flat iron in but it's still pretty bad. I condition it well, so I know it's not from that. Am i doing something wrong? I tie it back when I sleep, thermal protectant with I straighten it but it's rather..bushy. I'd post a picture but I don't have my camera at the moment. My sassy ones from sally were $10 and they never looked liked this Help?

I agree with Metalgirl.. The problems you describe are typical of lower quality hair.. What brand hair are you using may I ask??

I still stand by my original response.. What you describe is typical of lower quality hair behavior.. Have you spoken to the lady you got the hair from?? What is her suggestion??

It does sound like the hair was of lower quality and silicone coated. Did it look very nice out of package and newly sewn in? Then wash after wash became yucky and frizzy? That’s the tell tale sign of silicone coated hair because it looks fantastic until water hits it and then goes to hell as you remove that silicone coating. I’m not sure why you had better luck with the Sally hair which was less expensive except it might have been of a different texture than this hair.

Yeah, silicone smells funny and it has an overly shiny look to it. It can almost make human hair look like synthetic if its really coated well. I can never pin point the smell of silicone though. It seems it can be a little different and it mixes with the hair odor. I can feel it on my fingertips though.

The other thing also, if you are buying the less expensive hair or coated, if you plan on wearing it a month or so and then getting more, what’s the harm? I know a lot of folks opt for this because they go nuts if they can’t change their look completely every few weeks. So in that case, it would become too expensive anyway.

yeah............................

oh wow... I see the frizz ur talking about! That sucks! I hate spending money on hair only for it to not last. But, I agree with everyone. It was REALLY bad hair. Confront the hair salon.

Hey did you get to see this hair come out of its original packaging? Like Fakeizme mentioned, maybe she took your $50 and got like the worst possible crap from Sally and pocketed the rest? That would suck but I’m sure it’s happened. Was this salon reputable in your opinion?

Well as with many things, we get what we pay for. However, that does NOT give her the right to do anything illegal or rip you off. I would call her today, tell her there are problems with the hair (you can visually detect them) and see what she says. If she argues at all, ask her for the receipt for that hair and where she bought it from exactly. If she claims she doesn't have it or does not need to show it to you, then that’s a clue something fishy might have happened. She in the very least should be able to tell you where she purchased the hair from since there is a problem.
