About a month ago I got keratin strand by strand extentions. Before I got them I let my extensionist know that I use heat on a daily basis and she told me this was the best method for me. As I soon found out that was not the case. I started shedding like crazy, and now I have a mullet looking thing |
! I have been looking for a new method so I can get my hair fixed, but I need something that can take heat. Any suggestions? I truely hate my hair now and will only wear it up in a pony tail because it looks sooooo horrible.Replies:

I think the extentubes or pinchbraids would be the best for strand extensions. A weft- either bonded or sewn in would also work well too. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Metal Girl I went to your web site and oh my gosh you have created masterpieces. You do hair so well. Do the shrinkies work well with heat? I like how the eurolocs looked too. It seem like they would be able to blend in with the hair good couse they look flat. Are they the same as hairlocs? |

"Hi Zimmery- Welcome to our hair nest~ a weft also know as tracks are a long strip of hair- sorta like a grass skirt, but hair, if thats helpful to picutre. Extentubes are similar to microcylinders, locs or links. pinchbraids aer tiny tiny braids at the top and the hair is free after about a 1/4 inch down. the braid holds the extension hair. Shrinkies work well, however you dont want heat to touch them. ------------- Bringing beauty, one head at a time... |

| I would think you'd have to be using really hot appliances to be shedding all of that hair. Could it possibly be the glue didn't adhere well to your hair? I have keratin in now, and yes it is shedding...but not because of the styling tools...I just did a poor job applying some of the strands. |

LOL. im sorry, but i only laugh because my hair is the same exact style right now. and god NO i didnt do it on purpose, but it was from over bleaching, and alot broke off.
i cant be of any help in the extention department but let me share my hair growth knowledge, PRENATAL vitamins make hair grow like crazy and this product sold at sallys called WILD HAIR GROWTH OIL.
good luck, my prayers are with you because having to hide hair isnt fun :( |

Keratin is a form of hot fusion method. It is applied to the desired areas melting the keratin to fuse with the hair. High heat will melt the keratin and therefore cause the hair extension to fall out. There are some glues that easily melt even when you are underneath a hair dryer. The glue your stylist may have given you was probably temporary and surely not for your styling habits. You may need a stronger glue or a different method. Glue fusions are the most transparent of all methods. The downside is that they are very high maintenace. They are NOT FOR EVERYBODY. Try exploring stronger glues, metals, thread methods. GOOD LUCK!!! ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |
