Advice on micro ring extensions, please

[locks]

was wondering if anyone can shed some light on why some clients complain of losing a few micro bond extensions within a few days yet others i have dont lose any until they are just about due for maintenance
they are all fitted with the same hair and i ensure enough hair is pulled through the ring and clamped down well

Hi Locks. I only do micro ring extensions and i find the exact same thing. I think it all purely depends on how oily a clients natural hair is and more importantly how well they follow the aftercare advise. I Explain at each consultation that loosing a few bonds is normal and emphasize the important of following my aftercare. x

I have microring exts alot - so from a consumer perspective i wonder if people just dont take care.

Alot of friends and people i know have them some are like me some lose loads - i think with microring if you really pull hard they come out (albeit its sore) but if wrong shampoo is used or conditioner on rings or even just when hair wet they come out easier. I think (knowing from discussions ive had with people who lose lots) that people can be lazy and swerve aftercare.

Its the same with prebonded people use wrong shampoo and lather conditioner on then wonder why they soften (ive had conversations again with people i know who had them and with the person who does my hair and he says same).

Not a hair dresser but just thought id offer my view from a customers standpoint

I think this almost always boils down to oils. It cud be there using an oil infused shampoo,like the newer ones with Argan oil in. The conditioners and products are great for the extensions but obv the shampoo wud get under the links. Or there not been careful with conditioner. Otherwise it'll be down to natural oils, do they exercise a lot, have excessively oily hair, or not wash their hair very often. Occasionally they could be heavy handed when brushing them but I find that usually only happens once the first time they get them in.

Hi, not only do I find that aftercare can be an issue, but also the thickness of each individual strand of natural hair! If the natural hairs are very fine and soft then I find that the microrings can slide out easy, whereas if the natural strands of hair are courser, ther tend to 'lock' the microrings in place, preventing as much slippage!
