Incase anyone is thinking about trying hardbond to bond wefts....let me tell you...DON'T DO IT!!!!  I just learned the hard way, you lose alot of hair trying to take them out. Cry  What an idiot!  I took down everything today and will be putting everything back in tomorrow using LG that I dyed brown w/ RIT.

Hm, how do you dye the LG? Does it really show less? Sorry you lost so much hair, at least it grows back:)! Not that that makes up for it at the time!

Thanks, it does grow back.  I followed Sherrie's instructions....I used RIT liquid dye, about 1cc or 1ml into the smaller bottle and about 1 1/2cc into the larger bottle.  Shake it up, roll it around, let it sit for a while and it'll mix up for yah.

you only need about 1/2 cc in the 1/2 ounce LG . My first attempts at coloring I used more dye than necessary. 1/2 cc should be plenty. After you mix it up (with a toothpick) put the cap on and let in sit awhile and the dye mixes through.

Yah, mines pretty dark, but it'll match my *current* hair color.   I didn't even use a toothpick.  I just put in the dye, put the cap back on, shook and little, turned it over and over and around and around....Did that in the morning, by afternoon it was mixed.

cool....Im really glad its working for people. I did some up a few months ago and sent out bottles to about 6 people to test. I didnt hear any 'bad' reviews back. And really eliminates the issues with the yellowish colored glue in dark hair.

I used dark brown rit dye and it looks near black. So maybe a tan rit dye might look brown

Thanks Sherrie. I am going to try this. I have so much trouble with the wefts showing at the top of my hair because my hair is so thin.

I used the Dark Brown too.  They didn't have any tan.  I'm glad I used the dark brown tho, cause it does match my hair.
