Removing Hair Extensions??

I suppose its not a bad deal at all. I guess it just seems like, when Im doing other peoples hair I have to keep ordering cause I either dont have that particular color or not enough to do a complete head. It would just be more convienient it it were a clear bond that could be used on any color of hair! Instead of having to keep all the colors on hand.

Absolutely use the sandwiching method with Chrissyv. This is how I learned the sandwiching techniques. I think I got about 4 applications out of the can of glue from ChrissyV but Im not sure if its still the same size can or not. Its been a year or so since Ive bought any of her glue.

Yeah, a clear bond would be kewl. I thought the mixing might be a pain!! I will e-mail her and ask if she might think about or is planning on selling a clear bond. As that would be the best overall!! Thanks again for all your input!!

Thanks ladies for all your input here. I myself am not a big fan of bonding methods really. I just want to be able to offer all methods, but trying to choosing the best product for the job. I saw that you can intermix her bonding colors to get the best color match. Did you ladies do that or just used the colors as is?
I have LG but was trying to find something a little gentler.

Just can't imagine leaving bonded extensions in the hair longer than 3-6 weeks max!! Don't they realize it is a temporary method only. 17 weeks takes the cake!!HeeHee

Overall, I liked the Chrissy V system. The burning sensation that my clients reported only lasted for a minute or so, but still, some were concerned about it.

If their hair did not get matted up, then removal is fairly easy, but don't expect to keep your nail polish on! The acetone remover takes the polish right off. I was wearing rubber gloves, which the acetone eats right through it.

I did have a few very nasty, tedious removals, but in those cases the women let the hair between the wefts get tangled. One stupid client, despite what I had told her, (5-7 weeks of wear) wore them for 17 weeks and it took me 5 hours to remove them, and I still have to cut chuncks of her hair out. I refused to do her hair after that. She was crying because she didn't want to be without her hair, so I told her to go get clip ins or find someone else to do her hair. She waited so long to get her extensions out because she is cheap and didn't believe me about what damage can be done if not cared for properly.

Anyway, it's an ok product, but after a few applications you can't get it off the top of the wefts, so it becomes bulky with layers of dried latex on the top. Also, if the hair if thin, than you can see the line latex on the top row through the hair. Overall, it's just too messy for me. I don't like glue methods.

Oh I think you will like it compared to other bonding glues. The ease of applying and removing is awesome. I just wish it wasnt so darn expensive! If you end up getting some Ill give you a few more tips about this glue that Ive figured out! Just let me know if you buy some!

Oh I never answered your question about damage from the glue. Honestly this is probably the gentlest bonding glue you can get. As you know, removal is where serious damage can happen if its not done correctly. But the ChrissyV glue really dissolves super easy in comparison to other glue. Of course you still have the fallen trapped hairs that you have to be careful when combing it out but you dont have to fight the glue trapped in the hair too. SO its much easier on the hair in my opinion.

SAS. I experience the same thing with any bonding glue. Its just a temporary sensation that subsides as soon as the glue starts to set. I get a far stronger burning sensation on my head from hair colors/dyes than I feel from the ChrissyV glue. Ive used ChrissyV alot and never had anyone say that it was a painful burning that lasted. More so just a temporary sensation that only lasts a very short time.

Edited to add....I think some people have more tender scalps than others so it may be that some people will feel it more. But I think any bonding glue stings a little at first.

really? if it's even half as great as i've heard, it may be worth it...everyone that's tried it makes it sound like there's a genie in that bottle...

you didn't do anything wrong...latex glue can be a royal pain to get out....i usually use the lotion first, leave it on for a good half hour or so, then use the oil and THEN the shampoo...sometimes i have to do another round of the oil after that to catch the residue, but even then, it usually mushrooms into a day-long event...
i've heard great things about ChryssieV (spelling?) on this board...but i think you have to be a (fabulously wealthy) professional stylist to get your hands on the stuff...

Do you happen to know what kind of glue it was? :)
