Beeswax to pre-tip?

Amm will your remover remove the LG?

Off subject but I was thinking ya know what I want are shells with a ruber coat inside so they wont slip. A drop of oil after opening would let them slide off. Not sure if they would go on easy though.Amm or maybe the are in house teck Mocha? Just think no adhesive and I think the cush the rubber or silicone posibly would be less damaging . I also want a plier coated with teflon so it wont chip the shells. This is my dream extension!!! I know someone can make it hapen

I cover all tips with nail glue anyway so what's under there is merely
a matter of convienence as far as tipping goes.

When the beeswax is hot, the consistency is very fluid. I dip the hair
strands in and everything is covered and I don't have to push it
through. Dip, set aside, dip, set aside. I do about 10 and then go
back and roll. It's warm, soft and chemical free.   

Definitely nail glue over the beeswax. I made the tips the night of the
21st and let them cure until this afternoon. I put one in and it was a
hot little mess. Before the shrinkie could even get to where it needed
to be, the wax melted and spread.

Not sure a hot pot gets hot enough for beeswax. I don't have one to
test. Let me know if you try it.

Eventually I'll do the nail glue and then coat with LG before the
install. I like LG as the final layer. I think it's the added spit under the
shrinkie that's kept this PH install going strong for 2 months. It's
coming time for a change, though.

this will be my first time{{{virgin}}}}}

she comes in on friday- i will report right after that!

yes i will tell you for sure- maintance i mean yes i will take them all out, deep condition, trim and then blow dry then reapply her hair back in. I will take good mental notes to tell all.

i did notice when the shrink and strand came out of her head, when i applied heat to remove the shrink off the strand, the hair was intact and so was the bond!

that i know is a good thing!

msft~ where are u located? i did notice the tips on the blonde hair are somtimes thicker.

I think the Euroloc hair was also tipped with a wax like substance, and I did try use those strands with the MB shrink links and did not have good luck with it.   I found that the heat melted the wax tips and the hair either shed or slipped out. 

Speaking of tipping.

I just read about a womans dog who swallowed some Gorilla Glue and had to have surgery, apparently it expands in the stomach.

Ouch! The dog came through surgery ok, it took 3.5 hours.

Oh,I would definately use something OVER the beeswax tip first...just not tacky glue like I did last time!...I apparently read through the posts too fast last time and remember seeing some good reviews on it. I sent my brother to the store for Liquid Gold...he called and said it didnt see it...so I told himto grab the Aleen's instead...I now know they are meant to be used for 2 different purposes! Jenny-- are you still in your pinchbraids? I am trying to decide if I want to make an appt. with Heather or give the shrinkies another go.  Am also thinking about trying synth hair for the first time! I am not one to spend lots of time on styling!!With my HH there is no way around it!!

OK...heres my fear of the wax....have you ever used Torain fusion? Or any other wax based fusion? It is a nightmare to remove, and the bonds break down very quickly. Maybe tipped with nailglue or used with shrinkies wouldnt be so bad. But getting the wax residue out of hair really scares me!

Amazing.

You guys are talking about beeswax to pretip while I was DOING IT!

I have bricks of the stuff here in my soapmaking supplies.

I melted the wax on the stove into a liquid and tipped both a strand
of human and PH.

Works like a charm. It is incredibly easy and sets up in under a
minute. All the strands look coated and the tip looks like a machine
did it.

For microring apps, this is a dream come true, imo.

For hot applications like shrinkies -- test it OFF the head first. I don't
have time to test it to any extent right now to say one way or the
other what the removal is like but if you put a topcoat of nail glue
over the top anyway, it will be a non-issue.

Beeswax is available almost everywhere. You can get them in bricks
but they are hard to deal with as they're very difficult to cut. There
are also beeswax chips you can get which will probably be more
ideal.

Go down to the craft store and pick up a little smidge of beeswax and
try it. It is so unbelievably easy. I can kick myself for not thinking of
this with so much of it here in the house.

Yeah beeswax!
