hair falling out of lace systems

• Jeffrey Member since 5/7/2007 Posts 7 Connect	hair falling out of lace systems 05-12-2008, 2:59 PM I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. After a period of time no longer then 4 to 5 weeks,if i wet my system and run my hands through it i lose a lot of hair.   I just send a system back, that in less then 2 months looked very bad.(the piece was bonded and was not removed before i  sent it back)  thanks

  Re: hair falling out of lace systems 05-12-2008, 9:46 PM hi, my name is Lisa and I'm doing hair replacements for 6 years. There's many things to consider when dealing with a lace system. They are only single knotted at the base, any pulling of that hair can eventually loosen the knots. Are you using a leave in conditioner after wetting the hair? I love the lace hair systems for how natural they look. Also if your hair is in the blonde shade it is not as strong as if were brown or black. I hope I can help you with your situation.

  Re: hair falling out of lace systems 05-13-2008, 5:18 PM Thanks for replying Lisa.  I have dark brown hair.  I am a user for many years so i understand what you are saying.  I was told it could be from the bleaching of the knots.  They offered to stop bleaching them but that is not the answer since other companies that i have been using in the past bleached and there was no problem. I wonder if the problem is the venting.  I am wearing a new system for about two weeks now and it is starting once again ever so slightly.  Is this only happening to me?

I have a diffrent base but I get about two to three washings and then it's pretty much shot. Thats why I have to get two systems every three months NO SURRENDER, SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

  Re: hair falling out of lace systems 05-14-2008, 9:49 AM I have been  with JA alternative here in new york for many years. I never had this problem with them. I left them because of the cost factor.  If I do the math and every 6 weeks i need to change my system Hair direct is the same price as JA; and I have never seen a system to look as good as their's. I was told by my old tech at JA(who no longer works there) that the problem is with the venting.

  Re: hair falling out of lace systems 05-20-2008, 6:19 AM Hi Jeffrey! After being extremely disappointed with Tdi knot sealer for my HD03 lace unit (the hair was shedding A LOT), I decided to try Matte clear acrylic spray, found in hardware shops. The results were amazing, shedding decreased by 80-90%!!! Just a tip, because the smell is really bad, spray and let dry BEFORE washing the unit. Leave plenty of time for the spray to dry (30-60 min depending on how many coats you put), and then wash. For the first time in my life, I'm not alone in this...
