I think this is a bit weird for you to say that. I have had extensions for 7 years and worked with it over 5 years and only had damage once when thy were removed by a non professional.
All my clients hair, if they have followed the aftercare plan and used the right products and maintained their extensions, has not had any damage to their natural hair. I don't rush to take them out. I do it very carefully and I use professional products that don't cause damage to the natural hair. Most of my clients dont even feel a thing when I take them out.
Having now bought the Balmain removal gun it's even easier and absolutely no damage to natural hair. There is no reason there should be if you carry out a thorough assessment of their hair prior and make sure their hair can support the extra weight, that you apply them correctly without any pulling whatsoever and that they are maintained and separated on a regular basis. Also that they are removed by a professional that knows what they are doing. If all these steps are followed there is no reason why damage should be caused. When it comes to micro ring there isn't any glue or remover lotion involved so there is no reason here either why damage should be caused.
The celebrities you are talking about most likely did not take care of them properly and didn't separate them which is my biggest problem with clients, them not following precise aftercare instructions and not treating it with the care and respect it needs.
Hi the extensionist.
I still haven't read the article but understand now that it was more the application by people who don't know hair/poor application.
Also i stand by what i said from the angle i was coming from as glue gun glue is very hot/along with hot fusion etc... which hair is not use to the temperature of, also the removal of extensions use to be and still is for many, many "professionals" - acetone - nail polish and paint thinner, which really is not good for the hair... depending on what information you read.
by opinion regarding the celebrities is that yes some may have not followed advice but also many would of, and although other factors could have been involved like stress etc, i also believe that glue/removal would have been one of them to cause their hairloss/hair breaking ..... and bare in mind they are going to a hairdressers that knows of the science of hair.... but was also doing this service when it first came out.
as you know due to my other post i am strongly considering now providing glue bonding (after many years of the service being out in salons) only if my research shows me that the ultra sonic machine is what it says it is, and orange oil/or another type of oil is sufficent in it's removal of the bonds, so i am not totally against hair bonding, as long as the person knows what they are doing and are not just going by what they have been taught by a company plugging their business.
within hairdressing i colour peoples hair.. which causes damage but depending on as you said with the professional and aftercare etc the damage can be nothing/minimal, or their hair falling out. i'm very fortunate as my clients listen to me as i won't do their hair otherwise (i'm also fortunate that i don't just depend on hairdresisng as an income).
although i am aware of the hot fusion method i choose to do micro-rings to be on the safe side.... and have turned down people who want their hair bonded.. so i am true to my word.
