QuoteReplyTopic: Re-using bonded wefts? Posted: September 27 2005 at 9:30am
Yeah, basically I was wondering if it was possible to re-use bonded wefts? (if the hair's still in good enough condition). Or would the weft be too gunked up with glue and oily remover stuff?
This'll be my first time with glued in wefts (I'm planning on using Liquid Gold with Sherrie's sandwich method) but I'm hoping not to have to buy new hair every time I re-install.
Thanks :)

YEAH if the hair is in good condition you can normaly use the remover to get most of the gunk off and if you let it soak for a while in warm soapy water normaly gets a bit more gunk off i have re used wefts before with no probs
I also asked this question, Sherrie said to use acetone rather than the remover to get the gunk out of the wefts as the oil can be hard to wash out of them to re-use.
I'm on week 2 of my bonded wefts so far I think. I did 3 rows with double wefts and two rows of singles, the singles are ready to come out now, but the doubles are holding up great. (by doubles I mean that I put in one weft using the sandwich technigue, then I put a seond weft directly onto that and pulled over more hair to sandwich that. A double sandwich you might say...)
Sherrie is really the Liquid Gold expert, so maybe she'll can answer your question about the acetone. When I bond wefts, I use the Chrissy V system, whose dedicated remover is acetone, which does nicely eliminate the need for cleaning up all that oil.
I would try the acetone, it doesn't hurt to try it.
you can use use the oil removers, but I just find that if you want to reuse the wefts its really hard to get the oily residue out of the track part of the wefts. I suppose if you soak them in warm soapy water you can get the oilyness out of the wefts. It just seems like Ive had to wash over and over and over to get the oilyness out of the tracks.
Yes I use acetone, which absorbs and evaporates so it doesnt leave any other residue to clean up.

yes, nail polish remover is made up of mostly acetone and maybe a few other minor ingredients. I just buy the straight acetone at the beauty supply store.

When it comes to de-greasing the wefts after you've used oil to remove the glue, don't forget the Detergent of the Shampoo World, Prell. A couple of latherings of that should remove any and all excess oil without completely toasting the hair as would happen if you used real detergent.
It also removes hair color when you've left dye on too long and you're now either a) Morticia Adams black or b) Lucille Ball red...Prell really takes out excess color in a hurry.
