I have had my system now going on 2 weeks and everything was fine the first week but I have noticed a few changes.
Firstly my hair has become more difficult to style it’s like it doesn’t want to have any volume in it and wants to lay flat which wasn’t the case when I first got it.
Also running my hand through my hair, the hair doesn’t seem to separate like normal hair and then my fingers tips are met by lumps of hair, it doesn’t seem knotted and when I brush through, it combs through like they is nothing there but I can still feel the lumps of hair after brushing.
The lace seems to have changed too it’s not as pliable, feels harder and it has wrinkled in places. The hairs from the top of the lace as also come through the other side, the side that attaches to your scalp is this normal.
I believe I’m doing things right my daily routine is to use a leave in conditioner and comb it through my system. For styling I use like a cream which is quite tacky on the bottle it says ‘refiner’ it was recommended by the stylist she said not to use styling powders or clays not sure why. I also blow dry on a medium heat and cool setting. I only shampoo it when I take it off which is around every 5 days so I don’t think I’m over shampooing. The way I’m removing it is with c22 I squirt it through the lace around the perimeter where the tape is, I only use tape no glue. After a minute or so I gently peel the system back and the system comes off cleanly with very little residue left behind, then I wipe it off with cotton wool. I shampoo the system in the sink and rinse it off in the shower, clean my head and put it back on once dry.
Am I doing anything wrong to explain the above changes in the lace and difficulty in styling I have attached a pic of the unit from the underside just to show how the hair as bunched together.
