Ugghh. I was worried it was human. Beyond conditioner and silicones, maybe a detangler, I'm not sure what to suggest. It sounds like some seriously crappy hair, though. Which kind was it? I've heard fairly good, albiet mixed, reviews of the 909 and 101. I really hope you didn't pay a ton of money for it.

Crapshoot indeed.

Thanks, Jenn -

Yes...been religious about taking care of the hair. I had the 16" extensions in from hairpiece.com for about 3 weeks and didn't have this issue. It's human hair...I know, I know....crapshoot! :)

I'm going to keep trying, but it's a serious huge mat. I called hairpiece.com and asked for help and they had no solutions. So I asked if they would refund me the $$ for the hair and they said they said it could be the way it was put in. Well...same girl put in these that put in the 16" ones, so that's not the issue. And I've taken care of them the same way as the last ones. Makes me want to SCREAM!!!

Yikes, Kate! That's terrible.

I assuming you're detangling twice a day, brushing from ends to roots, and sleeping with it in a braid or bun? To get serious tangling this soon is a bad sign...

Is the hair human or synth? Either way, I would recommend applying a silicone shine spray, liberally, from roots to ends and detangling slowly, section by section, using a wide-tooth comb. If it's synth, you can also use a fabric softener. If it's synth, it may need to be steamed or blown out to "smooth" the hair. If it's human, I don't know....

Good luck! :)

I had my 20" extensions from hairpiece.com installed on Monday via the microring method. I washed the extensions for the first time today and now the ends are seriously tangled into a HUGE knot! I put tons of conditioner on the ends in the shower and that did not help. I had noticed they were getting more tangled the last couple of days.

So, my question is....is there anything...anything at all...that I can do to get this tangled mess untangled or am I just going to need to take them out? I know I got a bad batch of hair and just don't know if there's a way to salvage it.

Kate
