How many of you are really irritated with shedding & tangling with the Hair Extensions? I guess all of us because Tanging & Shedding are the most common and one of the biggest problems we all face. So let’s discuss how to avoid shedding & tangling.
I believe every one of you tried so many vendors who are self-proclaimers that their Hair won’t shed & Tangle but when it comes to the practicality, all their Hair Extension sheds, and all the self-proclaimers just disappear or start justifying the shedding part. But let’s start from the basics and discuss what shedding is.
What is shedding?
To understand what is shedding let me give you a short background of “How to make a Hair Extension”?
When a Hair is collected from the respective source, then that is called bulk Hair. Bulk Hair needs to be shampoo (washed gently) to remove all the dust particles and other sort of impurities (if any)which were settled in the cuticles.
After the cleaning stage, the track is made by sewing the Hair on the threads.
When the Hair strand comes out from the track, that is called shedding, and hair coming out any other way isn’t shedding.
Is there any other problem that looks like shedding?
Yes, there is one more thing which isn’t shedding, but it looks like shedding & that is called Breakage. Yes, both these issues look similar, as in both cases Hair comes out from the weft. In fact, the reasons behind these issues are the extreme opposites of each other.
It refers to the breaking, snapping & shattering of hair strands caused by various external forces and poor hair care. It isn’t a normal process but rather happens when a hair can no longer stand the pressure extended on it.
Natural Human Hair has a limited capacity to resist the force (Hair is non-elastic in nature), and after that capacity Hair strand breaks,s whereas synthetic hair is elastic in nature.
And when the track is made with good machines and perfect mechanism/methodology, then Natural Hair won’t come out from the track, but it breaks, and sometimes happens during the combing process as well.
Reason for Shedding & Breakage?
Reason for Shedding
Shedding happens due to the bad mechanism of sewing, or using old school machines in the manufacturing process, or using bad quality, or not using glue.
When you see the shedded hair from the top, you will see the moustache folds, which simply says that the Hair comes out from the track. Please refer to the video below for the same.

Reason for Breakage
Breakage happens due to the external force applied to the Hair Extension during the combing of the Hair. In this, Hair does’t come out from the track, and you can’t see the moustache. It’s simply the breakage of the Hair somewhere in the middle of the hair strand.

Won’t you face shedding & tangling issues with our Hair Extensions?
The reason we why we are so confident that you won’t face shedding issues with our hair extensions is because we are not using just regular technology or raw material in the making of Hair Extensions. We use 4 head machine during the making of Hair extensions. The four-head machine is the latest technology in the market.
In this machine, you have a long table, and on that long table you have four heads,s which makes/strengthens the track, which reduces the possibility of shedding.
We not only using 4 head machine but we also use imported glue, which improves the grip of the track. Where our competitors are using regular glue to keep the cost in control, we use imported high-quality glue, either from Japan or from Korea so that we can control the shedding.
How to avoid shedding & tangling? (Video & Use comb instead of Hair brushes)
To avoid shedding & tangling, or breakage, we would suggest you to be very particular about the way you comb your hair and the comb you select.
Many times we have noticed that people are using Hair brushes and not being gentle while combing their Hair and starts from the top and going to the bottom; however, in our opinion, this shouldn’t be the case.
You should use a wide-tooth comb initially and always start combing the hair from the bottom and go upward, inch by inch. It will de-tangle the hair and avoid the shedding & breakage of the Hair as well.

Once you can comb the entire weft smoothly in one go with the wide tooth comb, then if you want, you can switch to a fine tooth comb; however, we would still suggest you not to for Hair brushes.
As far as the health of the Hair is concerned, or the cuticles are concern we always suggest to use wide tooth comb. To maintain the health of your hair, you should focus on shampoo & conditioner for your hair.
- Use shampoo whose PH level is less than 6.
- Never skip conditioning the Hair.
- Always shampoo the Hair in warm water.
- Treat the hair gently.
