I bought some skin wefts from Hairpiece.com for one of my clients. I have nevered ordered their skin wefts before. Anyway, it was so coated with the sillicone crap that the protac tape would not stick at all to the top skin portion!
I wiped it down 3 times with acetone, and then it stuck only slightly better. I applied it with adhesive to my client, but let's see how long they will stay in her hair with all that sillicone stuff. I won't be suprised if she calls me within a week and says that they slipped out.
I hate this sillicone stuff! It totally interferes with the adhesion process of the extensions, and then when the extensions come out prematurely, it makes me look bad! I can honestly say that it's hurting my business quite a bit!  ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Metal, I know what you mean, I hate that crap. When the hair arrives with the silicone coating it makes the hair look dirty. It's a method a lot of Indian hair suppliers use to smooth cuticle. ------------- http://hawaiianhairextensions.com - http://hawaiianhairextensions.com |

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately the client wants 'permanent' extensions, not clip on ones. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

can you wash the hair before isntalling it? Wouldnt that remove any coating or residue on the hair? ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

No, unfortunately washing it won't remove the oiliness. The sillicone stuff is designed to keep the hair feeling silky through many washings, that's why they put the stuff on. I suppose after 50-100 washings it might come off... ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |
