Micros unraveling?

[SimplyStarstruck]

Anyone know how to remedy this? I just got these put in like a week ago, and some of the bottoms are already unraveling...

Im at college right now, so I was hoping this would last a bit..but Im not too sure if it's going to work out. Before I left the salon she dipped the ends in really hot water, would that possibly work?

Sorry if I sound silly, Im just not sure what to do...and my hair was the last thing I wanted to worry about while I'm here. =/

Thanks

What type of extension hair did she use? If human hair, that's inevitable. I have major Hand-in-Hair Disease so it doesn't bother me that they unravel when the hair is new coz it gives me an excuse to keep touching my hair redoing them when I'm not using my hands for something else. But when you have things to do, you don't have time for that. I don't know if your own hair is natural or relaxed, but definitely for naturals, the braids will unravel till just where your hair ends and then they should stop or slow down.

I have found wearing my hair wavy (human hair) does seem to disguise the unraveling better and slow it down. Wet your hands and run them through the hair till it's damp and then put your extensions in big plaits or cornrows. This is how I do mine:

When your hair dries, undo the big plaits/cornrows and not only will the unraveled part be smoothed out (not fanned out) but they will not unravel as easily as they do when straight:

If you used synthetic hair, you can create waves with some string and hot water and that'll give a similar effect. I don't know who did that recently. She might have a tutorial otherwise if you can't find it, I'll try to demonstrate how it's done with my human hair extensions.

I posted this in another thread...hope it helps

I usually braid past my hair and tie a knot. The kind of knot you would make when tying a man's tie or knotting the end of thread for sewing. Take a smaller section of the loose hair at the end of the braid, loop it around the braid and tuck it under. You have to practice to get it right. Once I make the first knot, I tie a second knot just with the smaller section and make sure it gets tighten against the first knot. You don't go around the entire braid the second time. This keeps it from loosening up. When you get ready to take them out, all you have to do is cut the second knot. I wish I had pics but this is what works for me. The hair may stick out from the knot, but that can be fixed with going over it with a flat iron. Even if you don't do that, eventually the hair from the knot will relax.

Step 1 to 4 here shows how to do the first knot

The Arbor Knot here shows it exactly. Except the second knot is tightened as close as possible to the first.
