QuoteReplyTopic: ChrissyV Glue Posted: July 06 2005 at 1:42pm
Has anyone used Chrissy V glue and then reused the wefts for ChrissyV
glue again? Can u remove all the glue from weft, or is it necessary
before re-using?

hmmm well I generally never reuse the wefts, but it is hard to get all of the residue out of the weft. I dont like to do it but I have been able to reuse them. I think Chrissyv glue cleans up better than other glue if that helps any!
Thanks Sherrie. That does help. I would only be trying to use twice, and sounds like that might work
EDIT: I called Chrissy to make sure and she said yes I could reuse the
wefts. So I ordered another bottle of the glue since I might be willing
to attempt a full head w/ Chrissy V now. Plan to use some
Extensions Plus curly hair (which BTW ain't all that curly either )- If u reading this Cherry.
I have reused wefts that I installed with the Chrissy V glue, but you never get all the latex off the weft top. So given that it builds up each time you reinstall the weft with new latex, I'd say you could reuse the weft about 3 times before it gets totally 'gunky' with latex at the weft top.
Hi there Koffee, I have a suggestion for cleaning any glue residue off of wefts. This has worked very well for me, use an old toothbrush and pick up some Goof Off or Goo Gone. Try to get as little as possible on the actual hair because it does have oil and mineral spirits in it, but this washes out easily.
Dab on with a cotton ball or just drip it on, work it in and let it sit for awhile(about 15 mins) and take your toothbrush and gently brush until you see the latex coming off. Have an old rag handy to wipe off the gooey chunks(damn latex, it really gets gooey).
You can pick up either of those two at any Ace, WalMart, Dillons(Krogers), even some Walgreens. It works great for this, but for getting the latex out of your own hair, I recommend DeSolvIt citrus adhesive remover. It might work for the wefts as well, I haven't tried it since I switched over to strand methods.
Thanks Kymiks. I had read something about the DesolvIt and already had
that on the list. I'll look for Goo off too. Sounds like something that
might come in handy around the house in general
Extensions Plus curly hair (which BTW ain't all that curly either )- If u reading this Cherry.
Hahah of course I am, any time I see the word curly I zoom in. Funny thing, I tried to order EP before I ordered anywhere else and they didnt have 24 inch. Glad that didn't work out because I'd just have another pile of hair I'd be wishing was curlier.

KB I think Id stick with the Chrissyv remover or acetone on the chrissyv glue. Im not sure if the orange/citrus solvents will work on chrissyv glue?? Maybe metalgirl will know? I guess it cant hurt ot try though.

I have used Chrissy V numerous times and the longest it stays in my hair is a week. I do the sandwhich method too, and only wash it once every 3 days. But yes, you can reuse the weft. Just try to scrape as much off the weft as you can. Use a toothbrush maybe and your nails to pick at the weft. Acetone works great on it!
KB....I wash and blowdry and curl EVERYDAY with bonded wefts. ChrissyV glue stays in my hair for 6 weeks easy. Ive had them in for up to 9 weeks. One lady that I used to do with CV got 4/5 weeks consistantly and I had another one that kept them in 12 weeks one time (although I wouldnt advise it) Oh yeah....also my daughter kept them in for 9 weeks with LG.
Now I will say that everyone of us has very dry, non oily hair. So someone with oily hair may not keep them in as long.
I think Metalgirl has had very good luck with CV bonds also
Edited to say...the first couple of times I didnt have great success with chrissyv. I spoke with her personally and emailed several times, she gave me lots of tips and pointers, which I found to be the key to making these wefts stay in.
I have had consistently good results with the longevity of the Chrissy V. Most clients could get 7 or more weeks.
Do you have her video? In her video, she offers a tip on how to make the wefts stay in longer. You make the horizontal parting, and then spray some hair spray and tease along the parting, thus making a base on which the weft can adhere. It's the same thing I do when I install my clip in wefts, I make a teased base to hook the clips into.
Anyway, so you have teased along the partline, then you apply the bond to that teased area along the part, and also to the weft. Use your hair dryer to heat the bond for a few seconds to help it get tacky.
Apply the weft, and then I always sandwiched it by bringing down more hair from above the part.
If you don't have the video, it's worth getting. I don't think it was very expensive.
