OK, so I got some of these things. The blue peel-back ones.

Now what?

Do I double them over, do I cut them lengthwise, do I sandwich them in? Orange remover takes them out, right?

I peeled back a small section and I about adhered myself to the strip for life. Hang it in a tree out front and I bet I would find humans stuck to it like flies.

I'm interested in info from anyone who's used these too. If they hold great (like LG) and come out with Amm's remover, I'll give em' a go.

Hey Amm, put some of that great hair that you have on a small section of those strips and then hang it from a tree, I bet people would be fighting each other just to get stuck!!

Blue?  Aren't the red or yellow ones the strongest?  I use my blue ones are for the lace fronts.

Yeah, the Orange stuff gets them out.

Gsmile that's flipping hilarious LOL

Amm kindly sent me these.  I was far to busy installing the Lush hair that came with them to look at them but last night I had a distraught client who had her extensions out and wanted them straight back in but couldn't afford them.  I'd filled my head up so much with Amm's Lush hair that I hadn't left any room but for a tiny strip to test these strips myself so being the kind sole and because I had some spare 613 & 10 machine weft bohyme I told this client she could indeed have her hair back in if she would be kind enough to trial these strips for me. 

Anyway I got to grips with using them first.  You peel off the blue backing and you'll see the white backing is in two halfs so to speak, you then fix your weft to one half and then fold the other over so you have your weft and then white backing on one side of it and white back on the other side, then I parted the clients hair, peeled off one side of the white backing and stuck it to her parting, then I pressed really hard and worked the adhesive into her hair. 

Then peel off the other white strip and then section down a tiny layer of hair from the top just like in Sherrie's sandwiche method and stick it down over the sticky bit with a metal tail comb.  I used three rows of hair in the back and two in the sides.  She's going to report to me how many times she washes her hair and how long these things last and if they really last between 3 and 6 weeks.  I've also popped a tiny 2inch section at the top of my head to see how that wears too, so I'll keep you guys posted on both.  No more tears from the client xx

That looks identical to what we've got chick, I think it would last up to six weeks on bald people but I think it will be less attaching it to hair so we'll just have to see he he xx

Do you put the hair on these in a weft, do you cut off the weft or put it in
between the tape? How do you reuse the hair? Seems interesting...
Why not have a great hair day???

Those are tapes for hair pieces, and they are meant to attach to the polyurathane of the hairpiece and someone's bald head.  I wonder how they will stay attached to the thread like top on a weft?

Those pics are for lace fronts.  They are not as strong as the red or yellow.  Since they are sold in pre-cuts, rather than loooong tapes, they are meant for 'quick-fixes'.

But good luck, ad let us know the out come.
