LOL No worries. I run a busy board myself... I know how it is some days. This is a wonderful place.. and added in my bookmarked list :)

Thanks for the links, I'm sure I'll find all my answers there. Since there is little time to learn a new method, I'll be sticking to fusion for the time being. The shrinkies definately looked like something I would like to try in the future.

keratin is better by far than wax. Having said that, there are far better new methods than fusion available on the market these days.
 
For individuals I would suggest that you look into silicone lined microrings or shrinkies.
 
For weft methods check out Protac tape.

I've been doing extensions since '89 but the last few years have gotten away from it. I have a client scheduled in a couple of weeks and decided to brush up on new techniques, products etc. WOW! A lot has changed.

I've always used wax sticks, but now I see "Keratin" sticks. My questions:

1.What are the primary differences between Keratin and the old fashioned wax sticks?

2. Are keratin sticks as much of a pain the the arse to remove? (the one thing I hated most about wax!)

3. Can I use the same type of gun as I used with wax?

Sorry for so many questions. I just want to be sure to make an informed choice.

I also want to say how relieved I am to have found an active board on the topic. Your community seems well educated on the topics and very friendly. I was really nervous about putting my toes back in the water.. but now I'm just excited!
