Review (1/5): Buyer beware, THESE LEAD TO BOUTS OF FRUSTRATED SOBBING PEPPERED WITH DISCOMFORT AND PAIN
I have a lot of experience with hair extensions. Both Nano bead, and keratin tip extensions. These were by far THE WORST HAIR EXTENSIONS IVE EVER WORN! Right away I could tell the quality was off, in fact I kept wondering if they were actually synthetic. I even found several that were weighted with thick black threads that were mixed in with the “hair” and firmly glued in with the keratin. I tested their durability with heat styling which they seemed to hold up to, and against my better judgement installed 200 extensions over a period of 2 days. They were problematic from the start, tangled VERY easily, and with very thin ends. Then, about 2 weeks ago I began to notice an odd residue throughout my hair. Fast forward to yesterday morning, and after combing the tangles out of my hair with the dry extensions, I took a shower and used the same paraben free cowash “nopoo” I always use. As I wrapped my hair in my tshirt hair towel I noticed some larger than usual knots. Upon investigating these more closely, I realized that my hair had somehow become one nearly solid mass with a couple of strangely hard softball sized masses in the back and on the side. They had thumb-thick loops of hair that came from various places on my head that seemed to grow out of my head and back into my head, as there were no ends to be found that connected them to various other larger knots and each other. At first I was just kind of bemused, but 13 hours of painful picking through impossibly tight enormous knots that culminated at a single matted extension at the core , who’s binding keratin was degraded to an odd residue, pulling out many other decaying hair extensions and quite a bit of my own hair, amusement was not the emotion I was feeling. Now I’m left with patchy extensions that are still trying to tangle up despite the detangler saturating them and a ravaged scalp. This was the third time i had washed them. My natural hair is in the beginning of its recovery from the treatment required for an illness, and because of that same illness I have been in quarantine since March and unable to work and have very limited funds to spend on another set of full head hair extensions. Which is not ideal.
Take my word for it, there are so many other brands of human hair nano bead extensions that cost around the same to be found on Amazon that there is absolutely no benefit to be had in choosing these.
