You can actually reinforce the weft by hand sewing using a blanket stitch. I
always do this to minimise shedding before putting any hair in.
Not all "chinese hair " is unsuitable. I have found that Sensationnel's Euro
straight to perform and blend really well. I bonded in a whole packet of
strawberry blonde and went to spain for a fortnight to really punish it by
swimming twice a day and doing everything in summer that you shouldn't do to
your hair and it came out quite well. Still shiny, soft and fairly tangle free

the length was only 14" but the point is that if I had done it with Indian Hair
it probably would have fallen to bits due to the rough treatment. For my
lifestyle Indian hair is too time consuming and delicate to suit me and a lot of
hair stylists can't even tell that the hair isn't mine

Not all of us can afford remy hair but for what you pay for for Sensationnel
it's hell of a lot better than some of the others out there

Ok... I am looking for opinions or help. I have been wearing extensions for
15 years. I had been wearing European hand tied extensions in 22" length #4.
My supplier moved and I no longer have access to the hair I had been wearing
for years. I never had any matting or tangling. The hair stayed shiny and
beautiful for 2 years at a time.

I have since bought European Virgin Remi??? I have bought this hair 3 times
during the last several months from different vendors. Each time, I have
found that after 2 washings, the hair has become brittle, lost shine and is
matting terribly underneath.

I blow dry the hair... Is it possible that I am burning off the cuticle and
that is why I am having these problems.

I have tried the cheeper cuticle free, tangle free chinese hair, and that
hair does stay tangle free, but since the hair is machine tied, it sheds
alot.

am used to wearing good hair and I feel like I have thrown out so much
money. am beginning to think that I am just doing something wrong. I don't
know if the European hair I used to wear had cuticles in tact, but I never
experienced the problems I am having.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sharyn
