Went to Manchester, removed piece in my hotel room, washed it. When washing my hands after, I noticed something strange.. my hands didn't feel clean, they felt almost slimy or something.
Next day I'm putting the piece on, and it looks kinda like a birds nest. I also notice my own real hair looks thinner and not as thick or healthy as usual.
After my piece is attached, it's difficuly to brush and hard to style. It really is like a birds nest and hard to manage. The hair quality isn't so nice and it looks like straw in parts... this was my nicest, most realistic, sofftest hair ever, and now it looks like a mess. After plenty of gel and styling I get it looking "ok". Go outside, and after some wind and rain it looks terrible again.
Please note: wind and rain are usually never a problem, and this piece was one of the ones that always looks amazing in all situations. So what went wrong?
The answer: it was the water in Manchester!!
At home in Ireland, you can drink the water that comes from our taps - it is healthy and clean. After washing my hands with it, they feel clean. After washing my piece it looks amazing, and stays looking amazing.
I ain't never moving to England after this! Has anybody got any solutions to this problem if you live in a place with undrinkable water?

ohhh,I know....
I was living in London...so terrible water,dont use it...
so.. I don't understand your problem...
just buy some litres of water in Tesco or other markets and wash it property...
I've always recommended a shower filter for this reason. Water quality varies from region to region but even if you have good water a filter is only $30 and cheap insurance.
One reason I never use tap water to wash or even spray the full cap with here. The quality of the water here is not good. It is hard and sometimes badly discoloured.
Historically it is said there were only two places in the world where passenger ships of yore would not take on water: one was Aden in the Gulf, the other was Adelaide in Australia.
Fortunatley most houses here have rain water tanks so I use that in preference to the mains supply. Only trouble is we're in the grip of a record-breaking drought (it hasn't rained for months) so the tank is almost dry. Distilled or bottled water is another option, though this costs money to buy.
