Hi nicolesx, I do the pre bonded method as I find it doesn't shed at all .... these have bonds attached to each peice of hair which just needs melting into the hair and rolling to form a tight bond (rather like a cooked grain of rice )
I personally only put in the best hair which I pre bond myself first with long lasting bonds ,
but there are other excellent bonding methods out there which are equally as good.... for instance.... a lot of professionals and raccoon trained extensionists may use a specially heated bonding applicator or gun to distribute the heated bonding material onto to the extension hair and then roll it firmly into the clients hair ... producing a neat water tight bond as they go along ..... and then there are cold micro ring methods too .... where pre tipped hair is placed in the micro ring with some of the clients own hair and the ring is then clamped tightly with a special tool
The outcome of a really successful set of hair extensions .... (done with any professional method ) will always depend on what type of qualifications, experience, and training the hair extensionist may hold.... and will also very much depend on what type of hair is used .
A cheap mobile hair extensionist spells disaster in many cases....
So do check all of this .... and all their credentials first ,
also make sure they are fully insured ..... and if you are wanting a professional cut blend and finish to add that extra natural look and movement to your extensions then do make sure the extensionist you choose is proficient in all cutting and blending aspects ..... as some extensionists are not always fully qualified hairdressers and won't know how to achieve a completely naturally blended look which usually only a fully trained hairdresser can produce with highly trained cutting techniques.
The same goes if you have colored hair and your roots may need touching up whilst wearing your extensions ... therefore you may want to choose a fully qualified hairdresser who is able to do the color touch up too ....
choose an extensionist within a salon , or a reputable mobile one .... but please check them out first .... and as a rule don't go for the cheap mobile ones as a lot of these will have no proper training and wont know much about hair quality and they can be very hard to get hold of when you need maintenance .... or if something goes wrong with the hair etc .....
also cheapo hair will just matt go dry ruffle up and tangle in a few weeks :sad:
Maintenence in between wearing your extensions is extremely important to keep your bonds from matting and dread locking together at the root area.
A good extensionist will provide you with lots of information on aftercare and products ...
They will also hold a good consultation with you beforehand and apply a few test bonds to see if you are a suitable candidate for extensions ....
before going a head hth
