liquid gold invisible method

hello all

 

I have very fine thin hair and have tried a few different extensions methods (micro links, shrinkies, tracks, dome etc) and none of them can be hidden by my thin hair

 

I have just glued some hair directly in using the invisible method and now i will see how long it lasts (just put in 4 test strands) 

cosmetically speaking its far less detectable than any other method

has anyone usedthis method for extensions? if so can you please share your experiences with it?

I use LG alot actually. Ive never had much success with the invisible method. Seems they dont stay in very long and start looking pretty yucky! Its not a very pretty bond really!

I use the 'sandwich' method of track bonding, and they really are quite undetectable. The most undetectable way of installing in my hair which is very fine.

On my blonde hair the glue never shows up, but on my med/light brown roots it does tend to get a little off color after a few weeks. But not obviously or noticeably white or off colored. But I could see how, on dark hair the LG might appear whitish looking. And yes...LG is messy, but right now its the best option out there for a bonding glue in my opinion. And some of the girls have been using a syringe to apply the LG which might be a big help dealing with the messiness of LG

hi PJ - sherrie is definitely LG queen but i can tell you i tried the bond sealer when i sandwiched in a few rows last month....from their directions they recommend that you glue the wefts and afterward rub a line of the sealer over the glue line to seal out moisture/oil...

i will say i have an oily scalp myself and subjectively felt like those rows were really secure! grew out with my roots and didn't loosen. for me in removing those rows i just took a ton of the LJ remover and soaked the weft on top and bottom...let it sit on there for a good half hour....worked in the remover with my fingers in any spots that were still stuck...then hopped in the shower to shampoo and the wefts flopped right off. there was still that horrid greasy/goopy residue with little chunks of white sticky glue...so i just repeated the remover letting it sit, and after another half hour shampooed and combed out any left residue/glue.

HTH

Kimmy, Are u talkign about the off track bonding? If so, I have worn that with LG and ChrissyV glue. I only use up front around mypart; and I usually need to take out and put new piece in about every 7 days (I work out a lot). I like Chrissy V better because it's black and blends w/my black hair. Teh LG gets flaky quick and looks yellow/whitish sort of like bad dandruff in the hair. Hate that.
Didn't someone else post a topic about this?? I remembr replying to someone..

ETA, and like amanda, I use acetone to remove mine. I don't even think i opened the LG remover

I know alot of people dont like to use actone, sometimes I do sometimes I dont. But the acetone is the quickest way to remove. Amms orange oil also does a really good job removing the LG bonds. The LG remover is my least favorite of the 3 options!

I like the ChrissyV and used it for along time. And I could see how the dark glue would be less detectable for dark hair. My experience with the lighter colors of glue were that I couldnt always get a good match and it was more obvious and visible (sort of just the opposite effect)

Welcome vodrocks (hehe..my idea of shorthand)

The fusion glue wouldnt work to do off track bonding. With fusion glue in order to get a good bond it is intended to be rolled to form a tight cylinder (rounded) bond. Otherwise it will shed like a mofo...and all the hair will fall out!

At the risk of sounded a bit dumb, what on earth is off the weft invisible bonding with lg?  x

also.....

From the website:

(Always apply the bond with thin even strokes.
If you apply the bond to heavily, it will show through and not look natural. Applying the bond to heavily will not make it
bond any stronger or longer.)

my last couple of installs Ive learned that this is true...Ive used LESS LG than usual. I still put a thick line along the track but no longer put the glue on the root area of my hair too...(when doing the sandwich method) and I still get just as strong and as long lasting bond. Then when I put the glue on top of the bonded track to do the sandwiching I use VERY little LG and it makes it very undetectable... and I dont get alot of flaky or off color glue showing through

KB, yeah I know what ya mean...about Chrissyv being pricey. And I do agree that LG would probably have a funky color on dark hair

I've also got dark hair and right now  I've got  wefts bonded in with LG too.  I do notice the glue flaking into that dandruff white color, and this is going to sound crazy, but for a total quick and temporary fix, I just go over those gunky pieces on the track with a black sharpie.  heh.

I'd love to find out out more out the black glue by chrissyv.  is it as strong as LG?  does anyone know where I can get it?

you guys have been so helpful, so here's just a a broad "thanks" for all of your help so far.
