Yucky Sticky Tape Goo

Ugh!  It was time for a take-down and re-install of my pro-tac wefts after 3 weeks.  I have a very oily scalp and have to wash my hair every day.  I could feel the glue on the tape starting to break down.  It had that slightly slimey feeling (no slipping, though, since I anchored with shrinkies).  So, last night I took it all out using a lot of conditioner and the shrinkies remover. 

I got all the tape slime out of my hair after about 6 washes and lots of remover, but I still can't get the stuff off my wefts.  I've soaked in remover, and washed, and soaked, and washed, and scrubbed, and soaked, but the slime is still there. It's awful and disgusting. 

Any suggestions for getting out the slime?  Do those of you using the tape just tape over the slime, use new wefts, or have a secret method of getting them clean?

I just did a take down last week and also had some issues.

1. my top 2 rows matted really bad in some areas.  I think that it was matting with the"beard" on the weft.  It was a bitc# to get out.  Lots of oil, lots of rubbing and I also finially put some conditioner in and just had to start pulling.

2. Most of the wefts were left with the sticky ucky gooy gunk!!  I tried to wash, but that left them even worse.  I did use some acetone and as long as the wefts were in a bowl and I worked the gunk off, it worked good, but as soon as I took them out of the acetone, they became even more stickier.  So, I just pulled the big chunks off and re-installed.

3. I had alot of shedding with my first install, I believe it was because the wefts were a zig-zag weft, anyways, I thought that this time around I would re-inforce the ends.  Big mistake, I used nail glue and now I have hard-as-rock pieces in my head.

But over all, it went well.  I am planning on posting pics later today.

I did read earlier this weekend that someone used Aussie 3-min conditioner to take out the wefts and that it worked great.
