| I was just wondering what you girls are going to do in the summer time with the Pro-Tac, if you want to go swimming and such? Or do you think the tape would hold up? |

This Protac girl doesn't sun or swim. My guy likes me pale-skinned, the
paler the better...so I stay away from the beach and only go in pools wearing a hat, covered with 50 SPF sunscreen, and never getting my hair wet. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

wow. WOW. Haha.
I'm the exact opposite. Summer is my time, I spend every moment I can outside, at the lake, or even by a window 
As for me, I was planning on leaving my extensions in when I went to the water parks in wisconsin dells, but the hair was such a rat's nest that I had to take it out. So I don't know how it will work out. I am sure I will have my protacs in and go to the lake, I think it will be fine. Pools are all I'm really concerned about because of the cholrine, but I'm going to try that Shampoo-3 because it helps my natural hair with chlorine so why not the extensions? Anyways, if worse comes to worse, I can't give up my summer-girl attitude, in Chicago, you have to appreciate the summer, and, my apartment doesn't have AC, so I spend those hot days in the lake. So I'll either switch back to my microlinks or just go with clip-ins when I go out. I really think those things will stay though, I mean, they make it through my marathon shower sessions!!

hahaha Ya, I am a summer girl as well. I love summer and swimming, and I was very curious what the rest of you girls are planning to do during the hot months  I can definately see the hair turning into a rats nest though, which I'm not looking forward to.

I know the feeling!! I am worried that my hair will all of a sudden fall off when I am swimming in the pool. Can anyone say floatin rat??Pool season starts here in about a month, earlier if we get the warm weather they are predicting. My neighbor has an indoor pool, and I may have to do a test run in her's to see if the tapes fall apart. I'll keep everyone updated.

Yeah, I think if you are careful with it, it will be okay. Probably if I go to
the beach or in the pool I will just do the 2 braids that I do when I go to sleep. Because normally, it's SO WINDY and sand just whips all over the place (you will seriously find sand in places that you didn't know existed like 3 days later!) So I could see having chunks of sand stuck in my pro- tacs, but, I will get that out. If you just take good care of it, I'm sure it wont be a problem. |

I'm like you, Kristie M. I stay out of the sun! I would be more concerned with the chlorine frying the extension hair than making the protac come out, though. Remember, there is chlorine in your tap water. ------------- Hair type: 1a/f/i |

That would really suck lol. I don't plan on any wefts this
summer, since I imagine the strand by strand is much cooler. You
could secure your wefts installed with protac with a few
micro-rings........that way even if it would come out in the water it
should stay in until you get home.
