Amanda, you look absolutely gorgeous! The hair, the dress,
you...all outstanding! And I like the hubby's blue suit...such a
great fit with the location.
I'm so sorry the in-laws managed to be such a black cloud! Some
people just don't want anyone to be happy, I guess. But we all
wish you the best of luck and sublime happiness!
Congratulations Amanda . You look like a picture perfect bride - just beautiful. I just love your hair and the style - just everything. Have a wonderful new life
Amanda, I'm so sorry about the pain your inlaws caused you. However this must mean that Dean is one hell of a guy or you would have walked!! I have been doing hair for wedings for 20 years and that is why when I do get maried I will elope!! I have seen it all!! My kids, his kids and that's it I do love the photo's , you would never know looking at them what had gone on. The epoxy tips are worling out great I am awaiting AMM's shrinks.I have a client tuesday to install them in. I do think the shrink sticks better to the epoxy then the nail glue.Oh if planning on children you will have revenge upon them. Very mean thought I know but justifyed I think.
Thanks a lot Rose, the MIL is a total b****, I can't believe she's been like that with me to be honest when I didn't do anything but hey as you say I've just got married to a hottie LOL.
Leia - I hadn't seen my hubby's suit and I thought it was gorgeous too.
Thanks a lot Kimberley
Marie, I can't wait to try out the epoxy, hope it works for me as it has for you. I know what you mean with the children xxx

Amanda, welcome back hun! You look absolutely stunning in your pictures! What a beautiful place to get married! The view is unbelievalbe! Your hair looks great! & I have to agree, he's a hottie! I can't believe his mom! That's totaly crap, come on lady grow the fu*k up! I wouldn't do another thing for her ever again!
Ahhh... Well I'm glad you're back! You guys totally deserve that second honeymoon!
Gotta chime in here. . .Amanda. . .those pics are INCREDIBLE!! I
concur with what everyone else said -- including condolences on the MIL
--
You, your dress, your hubby, YOUR HAIR! It looks SO natural and BEEYATIFULLL!! Where did you buy the hair?
Also - re shrinkie loss - I'm at a loss here. I haven't lost one yet.
But then again I *do not* do the nail glue thingie. I still use Liquid
Gold tips (I know, behind the times I am!!) but I tell you it's worth
it. Removal is really truly a breeze with just a bit of oil.
Keep us posted on the epoxy!! I'm going to try AMM's suggestion
of that stuff from Sally's, I just can't keep working with LG, it's
driving me CRAZY. . .
Hi there Fina. Thanks for the compliments. Thank god for my hair I can tell you, it made me feel a lot better. I bought the hair from ebonyline.com. I haven't had a bad batch from them yet. I'm getting better results from the clients I've done. I'm starting to get my first set of refits from the first clients I've done and today I got a referral call which made me beem so obviously that client is still happy with her hair. I'm going to try Amm's shrinkies and the epoxy and use my friend as a guinea pig, not that I'm confident about the results but so I can keep a close monitoring eye on them. If the epoxy plus Amm's shrinkies go together then we're onto a definite winner. If not then I'm definitely going to rethink the nail glue because it seems funny that the shrinkies are still in my hair and clients but just the tip has come out??? I already tip with the latex but I'm not sure about just using it, I've heard its a nightmare to get out of people's hair, I'll keep you posted xx

The tip comes out and I have to heat the shrinkie out of my hair. Most of the time the shrinkie is stuck really tight to my hair so its obviously something to do with the shrinkie not adhering to the tip (nail glue) or whatever. I'm hoping the epoxy will give better results. I'm going shopping for some tomorrow xx

aww thanks chick,im glad she liked it! i try my best, you know that! I`ve been getting some great info from this forum its brilliant! i am in the process of trying to colour some human ext hair the same colour as my own hair,( its still the same as when you last saw it) with it being a coffee colour. when i manage it ill pre tip it ready for you to work your magic!! take care chick see ya soon xxx
Amanda...You look so beautiful it almost made me want to get married again...but then I read the story about the inlaws and I changed my mind. You're right, you're not married to them, and shame on her for trying to sabatoge her son's wedding. She'll regret her behaviour someday.
Amanda, I have had that happen as well re: the shrinkie staying and the tip coming out.
On this last install I did, I did not top the latex tip with nail glue (which is great for the extentubes method) but I took Liquid Gold and brushed a coat of it around the tip. They're staying put, like Fina said. When the shrinkie went on, the LG added extra adhesion underneath. While still warm, I squeezed/rolled the shrinkie and made sure everything was distributed well inside. You don't need separate LG remover. The shrinkie remover works fine on the LG as well.
Try a couple that way and see how ya like it.
Fina, that Proclaim Super Bond in white is a godsend and it's less than a buck. I picked up about 10 of them when I was there last. If I knew, I would've thrown one in the mail for ya. Run, don't walk to Sally's for that glue. You will be so glad ya did.
Delin - thanks a lot chick, everyone has been really supportive on here, I appreciate that.
Amm - Are you saying to tip with latex and then LG, how does this differ from tipping with LG alone do you think. I'm having great success with the household glue at the moment. I've got four clients this weekend so I've had to tip 6 packs of hair which is why I really needed just a one step glue. I work full time as well you see 9 - 5 so me and my hubby are then having to come home and start tipping hair. We've got the tipping using household glue down to 1 & 3/4 hours per 4oz pack and we've done 3 so far so only 3 to go yikes. I've fully tested the household glue and vegetable oil removes it the same as it does with the shrinkie residue, either that or it just doesn't transfer onto the hair. I'll keep ypu posted as to the staying power xxxx

I think that the main difference is that working with LG alone is simply a BIT*H!!
The latex is a DREAM - you have your beautiful tips, then just put a
little LG over them. It's much easier, you don't have all the
threadiness of the hair in addition to the threadiness of the LG, etc.
The smidgin of LG over the latex tip just gives some added hold.
Well I'll try this glue and keep you posted of the staying power and then the take out in a few weeks and if it doesn't hold up I'm going to do the latex and LG xx
