sally's hair extensions

I have the Sallys Satin Strands installed and I would say that I am getting the same results as I did with the Jet set. It is dry all though it matches my real hair but dose require a lot of products to keep tame.

ok so update on *my* sally beauty satin strands story ((fun times))

ok so i had it in for 3 weeks (minus one day where i briefly took them out because my glue was giving way, but i used the same hair)

soooooo i noticed it dried and lost the coating after the first wash (probably due to the washing of hot water) but if i used product in it (a lot because the hair became porous and i needed to use more) it was fine. well everything was going greatly! i even dyed to to match my exact color and it was good! some breakage but whatever. soooooooo this is where it gets fun

i never thought it would be that important to make sure the hair was untangled before getting into the shower... so neglecting that, i showered and washed my hair....

biggest mistake. it ended up in a rat's nest the size of a baseball and after 2 hours of fighting with it trying to untangle it, I ended up taking it out with monoi oil at 2 in the morning.

really sad because now I have to go get more :( :( :(

is it just me or does your hair seem like it shrinks after you take extensions out?! haha!


PS- does anyon eknow if this hair is cutically aligned? i doubt it is (probably why it tangles sooooo horribly) but that'd be great if it was.

Glad I didn't get any!!! I knew it was too silky for me. whew! I love this board!

dohhhhhh!

I just bought some

I'm glad I read this
I'll wash in cold water and see how long I can get it to last

I was about to try the satin strands but if you can only wash in cold, its not worth it..I have been using Sassy for 2 years and I wash, curl straighten and treat like real hair,,,and for the price of $27.00..you can't beat it...If you wear them all the time, use Sassy..just like your own hair..

When my hairdresser installed them almost two weeks ago she said I couldn't curl them with anything hot, so I have to use the pink foam curlers and I just dampen the ends with a little water use the curlers and in a few hours I have curls until I wash them, I don't even need hairspray and my shedding is VERY minimal, they're the wefts and they were sewn in.

Thanks for clearing that up sbprincess90.
She's right, YALL NEED TO LEARN!!

I use a shampoo called Pureology and I shower in cool water. haha even though i hate cold water. But after I get out, I use leave in conditioner with Pureology. It has silicone in it. IT WILL KEEP IT SOFT! use lots of leave in conditioner if other off brands. Sleep in a braid. :) They have extension brushes with loops so you wont damage your hair or pull it out. HOPE I HELPED YALL!  Its not the hair. Its good hair, its just yall need to learn to take care of your hair and thats hard work if you dont have extension shampoo or extension products. :)

Nothing you can do with that hair....it's dead.....nothing will re-vive it or help it....it's just really bad hair. It may be good for some people and for clip-ins...but most ppl have had terrible luck with it. It seems like such a bargain but it's not...ok if you are in apinch and plan on using it only for a couple of weeks if attached permanently and you wash and dry.

Bohyme can be very good,
Shrinkies.com's Asian is AWESOME,
and if you don't mind synthetic, get ProHair.
