I know you’ve heard that weaves can be bad for your hair, but I’m here to tell you once and for all that’s not the case. At least that shouldn’t be the case.

There are all kinds of hair extensions, but the one that gets the worst wrap by far is bonding. Bonding is a process where you use a special glue to glue hair onto your scalp. Just the act of bonding alone shouldn’t scare you from giving this process a try. Bonding, when done correctly, will not take your hair out. Of course the flip side of that is when you have it done incorrectly, then you have trouble.

People who bond hair in incorrectly, and use excessive amounts of glue are setting you up for disaster. The problem as you can imagine then comes when you try to remove the hair which is stuck by mounds of glue! We do a fair amount of hair extensions at Salon PK Hair Salon … We’ve seen people who’ve come in and their hair is balding around the edges, and others who have extreme breakage. It is so sad because it could have been avoided.

One of the problems is that people want their hair extensions to last longer than they are supposed to. So they use entirely too much glue. The latex bond which is a type of glue that is commonly used is much weaker glue than the original. Each day you wear a bonded weave it gets looser and looser and it should. This way you won’t have any problems removing the weave from your hair. You don’t have to pull the hair from your scalp and spray tons of oil to try and get it out.

Bond remover is the best thing since the invention of paper. With a little common sense and an ounce of patience it will gently remove the hair. I recommend 30 second bond remover.

Typically a fresh set of bonded hair extensions should last about four weeks. That’s provided you shampoo your hair every two weeks. However if you shampoo your hair every week it’s going to last for only two weeks.

Please, please, please don’t try to re-glue your hair yourself. I tell my clients to call me and let me take care of it. I do that for no charge because if you try I bet you’re going to end up with a glob of glue in your hair. That little corner that maybe lifted, leave it alone. No one can see it. Don’t pick up the glue, like I just said, if I’m your stylist simply come see me instead. I have worn extensions for a long time, and I still have a full head of hair. I’ve grown many clients hair by giving them extensions. Extensions can give your hair a break from all of the curling irons and stress we place on our hair. There are so many people that do it wrong. Trust me weave doesn’t have to cause the damage that we’ve heard about. Taking memory out of the equation we don’t notice a good weave. A good weave can be virtually undetectable. A bad weave will stand out. For vacations, growing your hair out, or a certain look trust me weaves can work.

Bonded extensions are not the bad guys, Stylist that do them wrong-are.
