I dont re-use the single strands, infact I rarely use them. I was talking about the double hair
The only experience I have had with balmain bonds going tattty is if they were incorrectly applied or the client has not been follow the aftercare to the letter. Unfortunately client s dont take the advice all the time and then wonder why they go tatty
I have had only good experience of using the guarantee and even when its been a clients mis-use they have still replaced them as a goodwill gesture
Oh it must be different with the double hair then
maybe it doesn't go as tatty
as the singles ,
I must admit I was put off and very disappointed as my clients really paid a lot for them and when we complained they blamed the clients aftercare and never replaced theirs as a gesture of goodwill. ( in my eyes the clients looked after their hair ) they
followed the aftercare to the letter and bought all the expensive aftercare range .
Maybe they have changed now though
I do have some double hair that I bought a while ago I shall give it a go
I now make my own singles from imported untreated hair,
untreated meaning eg it is not put into vats of acid baths to remove the cuticle and is not silicone coated.
The hair I now use still has its cuticle on it and it is root to point correct which can be tested by running your finger and thumb up and down the hair.
I find that with this hair you can treat it in exactly the same way as normal hair ,
this hair only needs a good shampoo and conditioner.
It is natural hair and it behaves as such it can also be re used, colored and permed too
I also find Racoon hair extensions nice and lightweight, and of excellent quality.
I do sometimes think about the ethics of hair extensions and whether these people who sell their hair gets a fair deal ? (fair trade hair would be good ) :hug:
