Chrissy V glue update

Sherrie and I had been discussing my problem with the top wefts showing
and coming out too easily, using Pro-Tac. Sherrie said she uses LG for
her top wefts but says the LG shows in dark hair. She referred me to
Chrissy V bonding glue.

I went to the website at www.chrissyv.com and saw that they use a
different kind of glue that comes in dark brown and black. Unlike latex
glue, it removes easily with acetone. The website suggested that this
method is specifically for people trying to install wefts into very fine, thin
hair. The downside is that it is expensive - $49.99 for 4 oz. plus 10.00
for shipping. The customer service was great -- I ordered online and had
my product two days later!

I did a trial install of just the very top small piece in the back which is the
one most likely to slip and show in my hair. The installation was a cinch,
and I can say that by using the glue and sandwiching my fine hair over it,
I have almost completely hidden the weft! The problem for me with the
Pro-Tac showing is that it looks white, shiny and like a straight line in the
top of my hair. With the Chrissy V, I can sandwich the hair over the weft
using a blob of dark glue that seems to just blend the weft into the
overall look of the hair. It dries dark, and flat rather than shiny.

I've had the bond in two days and haven't shampooed yet, but it is
holding well so far. I like that I can touch up a little corner that might lift
without having to take the whole weft out. I'll post more after I've done a
full install using Chrissy V on all my top wefts. I think I may have found
the solution to the last glitch in getting wefts into my hair and meeting
my very picky standards for how it looks. I love the Pro-Tac but it just
wasn't working for those top wefts.

Thank you, Sherrie, for a GREAT recommendation...and your new intall
pics are fabulous! Anyone who might think that a DIYer can't do
extensions as well as a pro needs to look at those pictures. Your hair is
beautiful, and you are gorgeous!

Hmmm...has ChrissyV changed the packaging? Are they now putting it in bottles? It used to be in a small aluminum can with a screw top lid, that would keep for ages in the fridge. It never dried out and usually never got too thick either, and you could add just a drop of the remover to thin it if necessary.

Glad its working out for you Kristie. I liked ChrissyV glue alot but for the price difference I can use LG without the color being an issue!

Wait til you remove the ChrissyV glue...its so easy! (thats the one thing that LG doesnt compare to CV)

Does the Chrissy V glue do as much damage to your own hair compared to the other glues? hahaha I hope that question makes sence

Sherrie,

With your light-blonde hair, do you use the clear or the blonde ChrissyV glue?

xoxox

Jenny I would use the blonde/light brown since my roots are darker. I tried the clear and did not like it at all.Looked white and highly visable in my hair. But for someone who is white blonde or platinum it may be fine.

ChrissyV is a very gentle glue. And shouldnt cause any damage when removing. Its the easiest removal of any bonding glue Ive ever used.

But with any glue or any method, the biggest cause for damage isnt the glue or the method itself, its improper installation or removal that causes damage.

I emailed Chrissy suggesting that she package the glue in 1 oz bottles , in a set of 4 bottles. That way pricing could stay same ($49); but u'd be able to use one bottle and be done w/ it, rather than opening and closing same bottle and having it dry up.

Sherrie, well if she doesn't take my suggestion.. I'd advise anyone who purchases it to transfer it to some type of aluminum can. Since that seems to be best way to store it. I wonder if u could just put plastic bottle inside a big can...
As for me, i doubt i'll purchase anymore unless it's in smaller sized bottles. Tho it IS a great product.
Kinda like the Ultra Hold lace front glue. It's awesome glue and holds your wig forever... but MAN is it messy to use and it dries up quick too. And quite pricey. So rather than waste another half bottle of it,  i sought out another glue. ha! .
Buti'm still on the hunt for Ultra Hold in smaller bottle.. if anybody knows .. holla

ETA: Sherrie, maybe my suggestion to Chrissy should have been that she resume using the aluminum cans

I think I'm going to put my plastic bottle inside a Ball jar with a tight-
fitting lid and see if that keeps it any fresher.

A Ball jar is a glass jar used for canning. It has a tightly sealed metal lid
that allows a good seal for preservation. You can find them at your local
grocery.

Chrissy V hair Extension glue sucks and she is a complete scam artist and a horrible person. Try getting your money back. She is rude and a bitch! Google her past. Iyt will surprise you.
