LyricWilloughby472's review of Racoon International Hair Extensions

“Dreadful”

★☆☆☆☆

written by LyricWilloughby472 on 11/04/2014

I had 14" dark blonde racoon extensions at Tony and Guy and they cost around £450, they looked great when I left the salon but 30% fell out within the week and I constantly shed hair which was embarrassing. I had to wear my hair tied up all the time to reduce the hair loss as it was falling out at such a rate. After 3 weeks T&G finally took the remaining hair out and re bonded about half as much back in FOC, this seemed far less full than the original lot but seemed more natural and was far easier to manage. I had the new set in for 3 weeks before it needed attention and rotation which cost £100, the hair is in very poor condition, it's dry and each bond looks like a rats tail. It looks good after washing and styling but each bond quickly separates from my own hair and looks ratty again. When I brush it I have to hold it in clumps very tightly as the brushing pulls the bonds out. I'm happy with the additional length but my hair looks in appalling condition and in need of a good brush so I keep it tied up for the majority of time. My hairs also matts together at the roots and needs teasing daily, this is causing a lot of damage to my own hair as I can feel its stretching and snapping, I can't imagine the actual damage the extensions are doing. I would recommend these if you are prepared to spend a lot of time and money on your hair. Realistically you need to tease your hair everyday and visit the salon every 3-4 weeks for rotation with new hair rather than the salon just washing the extensions and putting them back in as the hair I have is very dry and frazzled at the ends and looks dreadful. This maintenance Inc. cost of new hair would work out at around £250 per month. Is it worth it? For me Yes! I've never had so many compliments (when my hair is washed and styled), looked this glamorous or felt happier about myself!
