I have been wearing my Lush install for 2 weeks now, and I melted about 4 tips together, then placed them in the tapes.  On the very top row I just used the one sided method.  I have found that the tips hold great in the tape, I have had a few fall off from the top row, but I think that was because I overlaped a few of the tips.  One of my biggest problems is the SHEDDING, I mean SHEDDING!!  It is unreal, I don't know if it is because I fused the tips together, but I thought they had plenty of glue on them, or if the keritin is just breaking down.  All I know is that my vaccume is ready to blow it's motor if I don't change something quick!!

My biggest problem is the hair, like I said it has been installed for only 2 weeks,  and it is like straw!!!  I can't even wear it down anymore, it went to crap at about day 4, so basically after the 2nd wash.  I always condition and I have been using pantenee, so you know it has lots of silicon going on, but nothing I use or do will help it.  I am so disappointed with this hair, I has crapped out on me sooner the BSS hair  ever has.  It is comming out tomorrow and I am installing some Diva hair.

I just put in my lush the same way.  I have gone thru 2 washes and it seems to be getting nicer.  I even colored...I only use pureology hydrate products on it.  You may wantto try the pureology reconstruct repair. 

I got my lush in 2 batches.  the first batch was a #10 I think and I colored it a medium golden reddish brown.  It was very dry afterward.  I set it aside for a week or so(out of my head).  Then I got my second batch.  It was auburn#30.  I darkened it to the same color as my first batch.  It is much nicer then the first batch.  Also had less nits(sp?) on it. 

I do have a fair amount of shedding too.  More then I thought I would after melting them all together & sticking them in the protac.  These are my first hh extensions, I didn't want to empty the checkbook until I know if I liked them or not.  Next time it's bohyme or the diva hair for me.....

ok, well are u asking me or just putting it out there for speculation?

let me explain, as i have ALREADY explained when i was selling some of it~

first off let me say i for one, have NEVER had one problem with any of the lush i purchased, and let me also say i had purchased over 4,000 strands. yes i said four thousand strands.what can i say i got carried away! That was one of the reasons i decided to sell some. also, i personally use custom made smaller sized locs. Some of the tips esp. in the darker colors were a bit too big to fit into the locs i use. i actually have no more lush avail for my own clients and i have none left to sell as well, and to add to that, the peeps i sold a few packs to love it as well,

its very unfortunate some people have had a bad experience with lush, but for me, that is not the case and it certainly is not the reason i was offering to sell some of it. hopes this satisfies your curiousity.
