pre glued hair extensions ( pros and cons )

There is a current trend in adhesive hair extensions that is based on the practice of buying the hair with glue already on the ends of the hair extensions.

Although there are numerous companies that are producing this product, it is not the practice of mainstream importers of hair that are involved for the most part.

Consequently the hair is not sold by the established accepted guidelines of the hair industry.

For instance, this hair is not sold in the standard packages of four ounces, but rather by individual pre glued pieces that frequently sell for around $3.00 each. Since a full head of adhesive hair extensions commonly take at least one and a half packs to two packs of hair and often exceeds that amount. It is conceivable that the average head of adhesive hair extensions could need as many as three hundred of these plugs to give the appearance of fullness, which is often the major reason for doing the process. Even half of that amount would come to about $450.00 just for the hair. The price of the service would have to be added to this and would come to an enormous sum of money that the average customer would not be able to afford. As a result those professionals that use this technique would make less money and would have a much smaller clientele base, that is willing to pay so much. In instances where this product is being sold by the weight, prices are frequently ninety dollars for a single ounce, which means that the four ounces ( which is standard weight for a package of hair ), would sell for as much as three hundred sixty dollars.

Even if the pieces of pre glued hair were sold to the hair designer at one dollar and half each, they would still represent an exorbitant amount when compared with the price of hair that is sold by the bundle. This is especially true of the black clientele, who are still the most prolific of all the ethnic groups that are wearing hair extensions. They are also the most experienced and knowledgeable regarding hair extensions and they all know where to buy hair at moderate prices. In addition to this they usually buy shorter hair

( around ten, twelve or fourteen inches ) which can be acquired in the standard four ounce packages of the established hair companies for fifteen to thirty dollars at almost any of the numerous beauty supply stores that are located everywhere throughout our nation.

It is close to impossible to acquire these pre glued hair pieces in anything shorter than eighteen inches and often they can not be had in the longer lengths of twenty two, twenty four or longer, which is frequently what the clients may desire.

Textures are extremely limited. The pre glued hair extension pieces are almost never fabricated in the various Yaky textures that are the almost exclusive preference of the black hairdressers and customers. In fact, the textures that are prevalent in the pre glued hair is a rather vague, irregular wave that can not compare to the various smooth, consistent waves and curl patterns that are easily obtainable at the local hair and wig stores. Extremely curly textures, like the corkscrew is non existent. They in no way compare to the body wave, or exciting curl patterns that have been developed by the leading manufacturers of Asia.

Most hair-designers say that there is too much glue on the hair and it is always necessary to cut off some of it before attaching the strands to the natural hair.

Another glaring shortcoming of the pre glued hair is that they are extremely limited in colors. Often the company that makes and sells these hairs do not use the excepted colors of the established hair trade such as #22, # 27 or #4, instead they use words to describe the colors, Autumn Sunset or Titian red. This makes it almost impossible for the average stylist or client to order the proper color. Color blends like #18/22 and 27/613 are virtually non existent. While the packaged hair that has been in use for some time has a dazzling variety of mixed color combinations that are exciting and dramatic innovations in hair designs that are greatly appreciated by the clients and hairstylists.

Although there are some stores that carry this type of pre glued hair, it is by far the companies that produce them who gain their customers from the hair shows and insist that they order directly from them. This means a wait of about at least a week or more, whereas the convenience of buying it at a local hair store can not be denied. Then when it does arrive, there is sometimes a question of color, texture and length. In the case of a discrepancy it would be some time before it could be straightened out, not like merely going back to the store where it was bought and dealing with people that you are familiar with.

In order to attach this pre glued hair to the natural hair it is necessary to purchase a special tool that somewhat resembles a pair of pliers, which is electrically heated to melt the adhesive at the tips of the commercial hair to the strands of natural hair. These tools sell for about one hundred thirty nine dollars.

Removal of the pre adhesive hair extensions can be achieved only by using acetone ( nail polish remover ). Although I personally have never seen any direct negative result from the use of acetone on the hair it can work a terrible hardship on the scalp. It can burn the scalp badly and leave nasty chemical burns. Particularly on black people whose scalp does not secrete a substantial amount of sebum to protect the skin. It is also flammable and caution must be used when applying it during the removal process. Most hair designers believe that it is damaging to the hair and are not at all willing to use it.
