QuoteReplyTopic: Weft Install **Pics** Posted: September 15 2005 at 6:44pm
Here it is finally. Plastikhaar, Dunklebraun, 50 mm wave.
I used Liquid Gold, put it in one of my son's old plastic sqeeze bottles-worked awesome! I used 1 1/2 wefts. I only sandwiched the top rows in case the wind blows my short top layers over to the side. I'm sick of those damn short top layers by the way, I feel like Loretta Lynne. I can't seem to get the blending the way I like it, I just have to wait for the top/crown to grow so it lays down lower over the extensions.
Great job nifty! You did a fantastic job, especially working with short hair...way to go girl! And you said you put the LG in a squeeze bottle? I tried that and didnt have much luck...what did you do? What type of bottle was it? It didnt get to thick to squeeze out?

Sherri, nope, it didn't get dry or gooey. After I put my strip of LG on the weft, I stuck a safety pin down the nozzel to keep it open. When I needed it again there was dried glue around the top that I just picked off and it flowed clean again.
It's out of my son's craft box. It use to have watery paint in it for stained glass projects. I think we got it JoAnn etc. or Michaels.
Tangles, yes what you described is pretty much what I did. There is definitely LG on my scalp. (Sherri-please tell me it will give way when my hair starts growing)
I expect to wash it 2 times a week, pat the suds on the scalp area work it through the length and let the water run over it all. That's how I washed my shrinkies.
When I take it down, I'm going to section all the hair out of the way leaving one weft at a time starting with the nape and use Amm's shrinkie remover until it loosens enough to pull off, then rub it through to get any LG off my hair.
This is my first bonded weft install so let's hope it all goes as planned.

nifty...yes the LG will lift from your scalp...it usually takes several days but it will loosen from your head! Depending on how much scalp oil you have...me I have NONE so it usually takes about a week before the bonds start to loosen from my scalp.
Thats exactly how I do the take down too...I start at the nape removing it row by row. And even though I dont like to suggest it....I alwasy keep acetone on hand for the stubborn spots when removing. (like the little side tabs, with the sandwich method..they can be a bit stubborn)

Is the 50 mm PH very curly. I want a sort of lose curl. A long flowing curl if you know what I mean. Would this be the recommended size of curl 50mm. Also what colour would it be for 613/27 in PH.
Looks fabulous! I just did my own LG weft install and I think I'm going to add a step of using a hairdryer to get my roots dry after washing to see if I can make it hold up a little longer.
I don't think it looks loretta lynn at all! Ditto what Jenny said in fact :)
