Calling ladies with strand by strand method..... How do you shampoo your hair? Do you rub the shampoo into your scalp like in a circular motion? Yes... thats what I do... I am trying to figure out what is causing slippage, maybe the way I shampoo my hair? My great lengths extensions(only 3 weeks old) have been slipping One problem I have is I have itchy scalp and according to the contact at GL, I can use tea tree shampoo which is supposed to help with my problem. Maybe the oil in the shampoo is causing them to slip? My stylist is no help, 3 weeks after installation she still havent given me the instruction sheet she promised. And when I asked her to check my hair, she said they look fine, even with all the slippage. Thanks for any advises.. |

Well the only strand by strand I've had is shrinkies. I didn't rub my scalp in a circular motion. That would have pulled and put tension on my roots I felt so I lathered my hand and pat suds on my scalp gently pushing the suds in between the strands to my roots/scalp. I did find my shrinkie application to be pretty itchy. I never lost one though and had no slippage.

I rub and scratch and get right in there anywhere I do not have bonds. The whole crown and a few inches down the sides are free so I really get in there good. Where the bonds are, I get my fingers in there and just do a very gentle side by side motion with just the padded part of the fingertips. The length of the hair I do not rub together at all. I get the length *full* of water, put the shampoo on my palms and rub together and then I squeeze it into the length of the extension hair. You know how you squeeze out a wet towel? Like that but I don't twist the hair, I just squeeze my shampoo-covered hands around it. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

With your hair so long, I have a feeling you spend quite a bit of time in shower Thanks guys for the replies, I guess I should start padding and not rubbing. |

yeah patting not rubbing is a good idea. Also I find nearly all ext methods itchy. At some point I became more tolerant of it. Also I think rinsing the bond areas really really well helps because sometimes itching is caused by left over shampoo which is more likely with extensions. |

| I mix a bit a clarifying shampoo w/ water, turn my head upside down, gently pat it on my scalp before I get in the shower while my hair is still dry. Easier for me to work it in that way. Gently work it around the ext w/ my fingers in more of a patting motion. I rinse w/ a hand held shower head w/ my hand over the shower head to soften the H20 flow--the hand held deal really gets the shampoo out. (I don't apply clarifying shampoo directly on the ext--I gently pat a special shampoo on the ext after my hair is wet--no rubbing or wringing) I wash every 3rd day now w/ heat seals--was every other w/ fusion. |

| I also don't let my hair hang when it is wet b/c it is heavy (especially human hair) so I rest it on my shoulder while it is wet while I'm in the shower. What an event, it is! |
