My clip on hair extensions (like pony tails) always get icky-why?

Question

I've purchased at least 6 or more - probably closer to 10 different hair pieces - mainly from Sally's Beauty Supply but also from other places. I purchase the appropriate fake hair shampoo and conditioner. When I first get them they're soft and shiny but after wearing them for a little while they get "matted" underneath and forget trying to comb them out - then they frizz. The shampoo and conditioner is worthless. So as a result I get one and wear it for a couple of months maybe until it gets looking icky and then have to purchase another one --- what's up with that? Does anyone know?

Answer 1

Follow the care instructions on the packaging. Store them in plastic bags, separately, wrapped in a satin scarf if you can spare it.. Use mousse (for curly pieces), hair sheen spray (for straight pieces) and a soft vent brush on them. Don't expect them to last very long. Take them off as soon as you can and never sleep in them. They're made cheaply, but some of the ethnic beauty stores and online stores sell a higher quality product. Sally's gone the cheap route! The best hair out there is Remi. They make Remi Goddess, Remi is made by a co. called Sensationelle http://www.sensationnel.com/ <-- that's there site. Don't be put off by the color of the models... the hair is suitable for all women.
Peace

That's awful you shouldn't have to keep spending your money on all those hair extension peices. Maybe you should get a human hair clip on in which you can wash it with regular shampoo. The problem could be the brand of the hair or the company. I don't think its you since you try to take care of it. But it could also be the types of hair product you use, example, hair spray or gels.

Answer 3

the 'fake' hair is synthetic, and just like synthetic fabric in sweaters, will knot up after awhile (like those little balls you get on your sweater). With the ponytail rubbing along your clothes, and headrests, it'll matt up. Invest in human hair. The pony tails run about $15-20 at Sally's and will last you a long time. You can wash, condition and dry like your hair without any issues.

I have never purchased hair extentions before personally, but when I was in HS, a few of my friends got them for prom and things like that. They always went to a professional salon to get them done. That is what I would do if it's not working out for you.

Answer 5

forget approximately people who say clip ins seem cheesy, they dont in case you do them properly. Many fashions use them and that they seem very actual. i take advantage of ones from Sally's, its actual hair and if regarded after properly they are solid. determine you area your hair appropriate to place them in and use sufficient to furnish you the thickness, it will seem ridiculous if its purely long straggly bits of extension putting previous your familiar hair length. they are large as they provide you instantaneous length while not having to spend an absolute fortune and you will stylre them as hassle-free with straighteners, i could propose employing a shielding spray on them inspite of the incontrovertible fact that whilst styling them.

Answer 6

Are you being too energetic when washing them? To wash them, all you need is a capful of woolite and some lukewarm water, swish around a couple times and rinse.....you shouldn't have to do this very often though....are you washing them too often????

Answer 7

Because you are buying cheap articial hair....you get what you pay for, hair pieces that celebrities wear are REAL hair and they cost around 5Gs a piece.

Answer 8

Hair extentions ARE icky!! I've never seen one that looks even "okay."

Answer 9

wow! that does sound rough! if you're doing everything to the manufacturers suggestions, and it still doesn't come out right, maybe you should switch brands.

Answer 10
