I have heard stories of the hair extension tangling and matting up. How do I avoid this?
Whenever hair extensions tangle and matte, it is almost always a problem of hair quality. Quality human hair is EXPENSIVE. All the cuticles are running in the same direction (Hair is cut off a donors head and kept in the same direction) and the hair is virtually unprocessed. Cheaper quality hair is taken from brushes or off the floor, stripped of its cuticles (Similar to 8 perms in a row) and then coated with a silicone layer to make it appear shiny. After a few washes the silicone layer comes off and the hair becomes tangled and mattes. Make sure you are using quality hair.
