hair extensions matted before the bond

[jinxy501]

Hi please can any of you hair geeks help me. i had my hair extensions 3/4 head done 8weeks ago and on reccommendeation of the extensionist i had a rotation after 6 weeks which i did. the 1st time i had my hair done it was perfect i had no problems at all and almost felt that i didnt need my rotation at all but due to the advice i made sure that i kept my appointment, this appt was almost 2weeks ago and last nite i notice some not all of the bonds seem to have matted hair around them and is making them quite uncomfortable, i dont understand as i have done nothing different. Can anybody tell me why this would be? i have used the shampoo that she reccommended claryfying shampoo and tigi bed head self absorbed conditioner.
Thanks guys x

hey
i cant sperak for any other make but i am trained in Racoon Hair Extensions .
Matting of the hair around the bonds could be happening because of a few different reasons -

*the wrong products are being used or not rinsing hair thouroughly causing bonds to break down/ matt

*you not performing your maintence at home (seperation of the bonds from each other and seperation of the strands of free hair from around the bond)

*when you had your mantence at the salon could they have put the extensions in upside down (not cuticle correct ) unbeliveable i know but i have seen this happen !!

*having caught the bond in straightning irons ? ( causing the bond to weaken and release some of the hair from it )

I would go back to your stylist and ask her opininon .
Like i said it does depend on what hair you have , years ago when i used to have Racoon in mine we had a funny batch of hair from them and my hair just kept matting no matter what i done to it ! Might be the same in your case if your mantence/rotation was done adding some new hair ??

Hope i have helped a little and you get it sorted xx

Hi princess, thank you for replying, yes you have helped me loads! i didnt know there was after care such as separating etc i just knew about the shampoo and conditioner and i also take sea kelp tablets 400mg to strengthen my hair, i also have a tangle teaser brush so as not to get the comb stuck in my hair. a geek on here has done my friends extensions and is over the moon with them so i am going to get her to have a look at mine. i will update you as and when via pm and keep you updated x

yea great , will be good to see what the other lady suggests

Ask her about seperation of the bonds (home maintence) will be easier to explain what to do face to face lol xx
