Tangled extensions

Depending on what type of extension technique you are using
and the quality of hair this can be the factor of tangling.
For instance if you have keratin strand by strand and the extensions
are too close together, they tend to fuse together in a tangle mess. This happens 100% of the time because the hair is not being properly maintained(see maintaining your hair extensions bible). If the extension is tangling along the one strand. YOU are going to sleep or you're letting the extension dry by "wind blowed". I also mean when you are LAYING down at the beach or by the pool or wherever, the nape will tend to rub the extension and this friction will tangle them strand by strand. This is the biggest culprit of damage to your natural hair. See... let me explain the dynamics of hair extensions on the head so you can understand how they can get nasty. YOUR NATURAL HAIR is separated into a small section, a protective base is place at the base, then the extension is glued to that strand. We all know that we shed many strands of hair naturally daily. Well, were do you think that loose strand is going to go if is locked in to an extension? Usually the tangle nightmare starts about the beginning of the third month of wearing extensions. Because the strand that gets loosen now make a U-turn and starts to tangle the strands that are still attached. They have no place to go and decide to create havoc. Another way extensions get tangled is when the strands are place close together and a little bit of hair is left between them. This is done by the technician usually because he/she was toughed that way or they think is more comfortable. I have seen pretty bad cases of tangles with this technique. The user usually tends to ignore or not feel the tangle that snarls. If the hair quality it self is of poor condition do not use this for more that two months, and that's actually pushing the limits. Remember that the extension hair is going to loose luster and silkiness the minute it gets on your head. Noticed how it's never the "same" after the first shampoo. Using the proper products to keep tangles away can make a whole lot of difference with your extension experience. Let me give you a couple of my favorites for detangling: Matrix Spray in leave-in treatments, Pravana Leave in treatments, All detangling solutions, balsams or rinses work well on extensions. Try NOT to use oil or greasy products.  NOW... If you see a beautiful woman in a picture and you use this as a guide for your look, YOU WILL NEVER WAKE UP DONE! That means you have to make an effort and maintain the LOOK. Remember she got her hair done for that picture. The longer, bouncier and more gorgeous you want your mane the higher the maintenance is going to be. Granted hair extensions is the ONLY way you will achieve that picture perfect long lasting look. Brush, brush and brush some more, that is the real secret to no tangles.
