I have use Hotheads in my salon and also on myself and I like the attachment method but the hair is crap.  It turns matty and frizzy after a few shampoos.
 
I could only leave my extensions is a few weeks also, since the hair was a frizz ball.
 
You may want to check out www.hairaddictionz.com.  It the same idea but better hair.

Ok, update on Hotheads... I'm not only reusing the hair, but I'm teaching classes and installing them on clients in a hair salon now. All seems well and I LOVE them. I wouldn't put them on ppl until I had a chance to use them and back them up... My mother is now a distributor in Georgia and South Carolina; I'm working on it in Florida. They are SO much better IMO for fine AND skinny hair due to the flat tapes/hair= no lumps.

A+++!!!

Hi. I have tried the Hotheads brand and I like them for reason 1# being that the hair is not too brassy! Finally a company that doesn't put out hair that is totally brassy unlike Hairlocs and many others!!! I also like them because the method is very safe and undamaging. I just wish that the hair was wavy. I am thinking about trying Xtendtress tape on extensions. Does anyone have any info about that brand??? Please let me know!!

No kidding?!? So your issues weren't with the attachment, it was the quality of how the hair held up over time.

I can tell you that after drying them, the hair does seem a little "frizzy". When wet, it's wavy as well. At night, I tie it up in a braid to help keep the hair from tangling.

When you said you had tangling, was that at the base of the root or down on the hair shaft?

Seems like the hair needs some additional styling products post hair dry to calm it down and give it that sleek and smooth look again-- but I noticed the same problem. The hair is Indian.

It's a shame you didn't give them more time on your head to see how they held up. Because they are so new, you're the first person I know of to do another review! :-(

I'm sorry they didn't work out for you.

Best of luck to you.  I personally think the method itself is great.  I mean, they are designed so that you can put them and take them out yourself.  Say you decide you do not like the positioning of one, you can remove it, provided they gave you the right solvent and you are careful to separate the extension you want to remove so the solvent does not affect the others.  Or if you want to add more, you can do that as well.  Being that I did not take a lesson, and am not even close to being a hairdresser, I was not able to. I had them put it by a hairdresser.  There is not too much info on them out there on them.

 
I must say having had extensions in the past, I took them out after two weeks.  The hair quality was not satisfactory in my opinion.  When I first got them, it was fine.  After some washing and conditioning (with the products they told me I had to use) and brushing (with the brush they told me I also had to use), they became unruly, unmanageable, definitely not tangle-free, felt like synthetic hair.  But that was just my experience.  I someone made them and used better quality hair, they would be great.
 
Hope they work out for you.   I would be curious what you think.  Please post again.

Good or bad...just no personal slamming/flaming - re-read the forum guidelines/rules if in doubt.

WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS EVER TRIED HOTHEADS HAIRWEAR HAIR EXTENSIONS?    THEY ARE MADE BY ALAN THOMAS DESIGNS.  THEY ARE PRE-GLUED HAIR EXTENSIONS BANDS.  I GOT THEM PUT IN A WEEK AGO  

I AM SO ANXIOUS TO TALK ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE THUS FAR.  I AM NEW TO THIS FORUM THOUGH.  SO, I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS APPROPRIATE TO POST ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE OR NOT.  IN OTHER WORDS, IS THIS FORUM JUST FOR THE GOOD; OR IS IT FOR THE BAD AND UGLY AS WELL?
