QuoteReplyTopic: Shedding issue - advice needed Posted: April 01 2009 at 8:41am
Hi guys,
Just wondered if any of you could help.
One of my clients is suffering with shedding quite badly. I've already called her back in to reseal the bonds yet the problem is continuing.
None of my other clients are having the same problem as I've been quick to enquire. It seems that each time she brushes it, she is losing a fair amount.
She does have excessively thick hair, I mean 'thick thick'. Could it be due to the amount of hair she has in and nothing more?
I'd really appreciate some advice as her bonds her well and truly sealed, the hair is expensive and of high quality so I'm out of ideas!
Thanks guys. xx

How long has she had the install in? There can be alot of 'trapped' hair in each strand that isn't actually attached to the bond. I found most places don't 'clean' out that hair before packaging. This would mean a significant amount of shedding right off the bat, but it should clear up in a week or two as the hair gets washed and brushed.
Ofcourse there can always be issues with proper bond saturation, products used, perception...
As someone else mentioned, you might want to get a very clear picture of her care routine as well. Is this her first time wearing extensions? Many people seem to assume they are exactly like hair growing from their scalp which is not true of course. Ask her what products she is using, how often is she washing and conditioning her hair and is she getting gummy conditioner all up in the bond area? Also she might be brushing too vigorously and she needs to be holding the hair while she brushes so all the tension is not pulling the bond. This is the reason I opted for a sew in. It’s one strip rather than a bunch of annoying little bonds.
It might be how she is brushing if that is the time she loses them. Make sure shes holding the hair. Also, if shes wearing a TON of bonds, she is more likely to lose some. Its possible that she simply has too many in and her hair cant handle the weight.

I find it curious that this specific client is having so much shedding but you claim that no one else is? But you also said that her install was quite thick. Thats probably the problem. She just has too many bonds in.

My point exactly.
I saw one of my clients today who had an install 5 weeks ago today. Her hair looks the same as the day we did it and she said that she'd barely shed at all - just like our other clients.
Can any of you recommend a good glue? It might be worth having an alternative for problems such as these. I'm happy to try another glue on her to see if that might work!
We use long glue sticks so any recommendations much appreciated...
I would try a sew in weave on her if shes losing too many bonds and she wants a LOT of hair installed. That way the hair is sewn to her head and it wont be going anywhere.
