I was wondering if anyone on this board has ever had any damage or root pull with Protac? How many ounces of hair do most of you use?

I had to remove the ezfusion extensions I just got because they were not installed correctly by the extensionist and my hair is now a lot thinner and somewhat damaged and I do not want to damage it further.

Thanks Gsmilie! I went and bought a bunch of hair vitamins last night and the Nioxin also to try and thicken up my hair again. May not work but I figure I should at least try cant hurt.

Has anyone else had any damage, thinness or root  pulling from Protac?

I always use Nioxin between installs too.  Funny thing though, I recently had my extensions out for 2 weeks straight after a protac install and the first week I was disturbed by how thin my hair felt but after the second week I didn't notice any difference from how thin my hair was before wearing extensions. I actually felt no pain or pulling when I was wearing protac, my hair was in better condition after 2 months of protac wear!  I am back to micro rings though and am hoping to not have much pulling and will not end up with less hair!

If your hair is not strong enough, you can get root pull from any type of extensions.

Sadly my hair is not strong enough.  I wore Protacs for two weeks and when I took them out, a substancial amount of my hair came out too.  In the last few years that's what happens to me with every semi-permanent install, regardless of method.  It's just  my crappy hair.

I ordered a custom lace front and also a custom integration piece that I'm going to have one of them weaved on when it arrives.  The only time my hair has been alright with extensions is when I wore the full weave and all my hair was braided up.

Wow that would really be terrible to not be able to wear any type of extensions.  I love them so much!

I had my hair highlighted heavily with bleach and toned platinum every 3-4 weeks  since october before my first batch of fusion extensions. I received them in Feb and wore those until last week. I dyed my hair dark brown which is my natural color while wearing them to make my maintence easier and cheaper.

My natural hair is very thick and strong so I dont understand why some of  the hair in each of the bonds had root bulbs unless it was from the bleach I had been putting on my head prior to the extensions making my hair weak or is it I just have roots that come out easily?

  I can get a weave from a local salon . The weavist  works at the Ulta beauty store in the salon. She has done several employees hair and they have healthy hair when its taken out. She makes a braid and sews the weft on the braid and does several rows like this. Is this what you had?

Here is my experience with Pro Tac:

No brekage/root pull. I do jiu-jitsu 3-5 times a week, obviously I sweat A LOT, and am rolling my head or haveing someone pushing it into/across a mat! I've literally been trapped by my own ponytail...still no damage!!!

Though, like metalgirl posted, it depends on your hair. Try a test stip and see how it works for you!
