HAS ANYONE TRIED HOTHEADS HAIRWARE?

i haven't but it seems cool :)

So, my profile pic is of the hair after 2 weeks (and after sending it back and having it "refurbished"). Totally struggling with Hot Heads Hair Extensions because as compared with the TEASE OR DLUX hair I've used on myself and clients for years (in salons in Montecito and Santa Barbara, CA), this hair does not meet or exceed expectations. It's 2x the $ of the other brands and the company absolutely refused (citing an endless and often goofy list of excuses)---very concerning. I'm a business person/ psychotherapist in my "real" life but have done hair for eons and feel I can see through bs.....don't recommend HOT HEADS but if you're interested in super high quality hair (don't know if I would've found Hot Heads sub-par had I not used really high quality hair (that didn't shrink and break) Look to the above brands. Literally my economist husband called me out on the hair being "nappy"---ick!

Myself personally I LOVE the extensions, the only bad things is the tape replacements arent sold to the public. I NEED to redo my hair ASAP! I have all my hair just have to retape n put back! please someone help.

I love the tape hair extensions. I have tried hot headz and some other brands and they were ok but I just found this ones from Zystal.com and they are great. The tape lasts a long time and the hair doesn't get frizzy or anything like that. It's worked the best for me so far and I don't plan on changing. Give them a try.  

Hi xoxo,

Try Hair Addictionz Hair Extensions.  You'll love the quality of hair!

I am a hairstylist since 2000.  I have been doing hair extensions for about 6 years.  I am certified Great Lengths and have tried many various companys and techniques.  As a professional stylist and hair extension specialist I am so thankful to Hotheads for creating an ingenious product!  Not only am I not slaving behind the chair for hours...my clients arent in the salon for hours either.  My clients love Hotheads and the stylists I work with that have never done extensions are able to add the additional service to their speciality, because it is so easy!  Hotheads is so gentle on the hair and scalp, they are so thin and comfortable!  There are so many different techniques to create highlights and lowlights so naturally its amazing!  The quality of the hair is excellent, and the best thing is there is no equiptment or contracts, I only paid $99.00 for my training, its unbelievable!  As I read some previous post of people not having a wonderful experience I knew I just had to comment.  Unfortunetly I believe that they have not had proper training or maitenence instructions, or it sounds like they are with other hair extension companies.  Either way its unfortunate they did not experience what a revolution Hotheads is today in the hair extension industry.  I would recommend this technique to any stylist and every client! yay hotheads! By the way you can contact them directly at 1-800-327-7971

Well I have them and wish I didn't. What they don't tell you is ....

In 2 weeks the quality of the hair is frizzy, dry and after using 5x the amount of "special conditioners" the hair does not get soft again without a ceramic Iron and lots of  "Skinny Serum" (amazing stuff paul mitchel)!
They tangle, mat, and look like I bought 5" of somebody's "split ends and frizzes".  In the first 2 weeks 4 pieces of my extensions fell out! They don't tell you that as your hair grows out..  the corners of the tape gets rough and the "strips of gluey tape" act as little "razor blades"! Actually cutting/sawing your hair off at the scalp.

I put them in for an extended vacation in the US, and by the 4 th week after I had them in ,   1/3 of my entire head of extensions fell/ pulled out,  they are NOT something you can easily fix yourself. The "tape, adhesive and solvent" to get them out and re position them, are proprietary and you can't buy them at any beauty salon or store. I am 4 weeks with my $$$$ Extentions and I am in TEXAS and I can't find ANY SALONS that even know what Hot Heads are! After searching HOURS on the net for someone that could Fix This Mess, I wound up here and decided to post so perhaps to keep someone else from being 4000 miles away from their Own Salon and looking and feeling like a molting goat!   They are not the "cutting edge" but the edges do cut (my hair)!

I am a hair stylist myself but had another fellow stylist put them in for me. I myself, did not have a great experience with them. They seemed very frizzy and difficult to style. I had them in for 1 week and they started to come out. I had to take them out myself w/ alcohol. They came right out w/ just a q-tip soaked in alcohol. I had a difficult time sleeping with them also, they seemed to pull my hair a lot. They pieces seem to be too wide and made it difficult to wear up. I felt like I could barely move them around, and definatley couldn't use a brush very well. The "extensions" hair brush is simply a 100% boars hair brush, which doesn't go through my texture of hair very well. I have fine hair. They didn't lay quite right and even when I used my $300 100% ceraminc flat iron, they still weren't smooth and silky. I reccomend "Hair Dreams" although they are applied differently (by a keratin bond). I have found them to be the best quality. All in all I spent about $200 for 12 pieces that lasted one week. So far, I am not a big fan of hot heads and will not be using them again.

Unfortunately after about a month ore so the Hot Heads start to draw up on your heads. They are definately a lower quality line. They are also more like wear and toss they are not reuseable for long term .  If you are looking for similar, good quality and long term go to www.hairaddictionz.com
