LG or ..?

Oh no... not nail glue! You gotta find something just for extensions. You can get a different kind of glue, like Proclaim from Sally's. But that glue is latex based and doesn't hold very well at all. And it is just nasty. If you want to use wefts, but not the LG- you can get some tapes, like Protac or Supertape... they are basically a double sided tape that you stick to the weft, and then to your hair. I used to do liquid gold- and now I am using Supertape- which holds alot better for me and is a heck of alot easier for me to remove. There is also an adhesive called Vapon, but I havent tried that before. Have you used LG but want to try something new?

Hello,
I am not sure if you are wanting to do a strand by strand  install, then? Or, perhaps, you are referring to what can be called a "seamless" method of hair extensions application.
If you want to do the strand by strand, I would suggest NOT using LG. It can be very messy when trying to do this method. I would rather suggest a glue gun and keratin glue or keratin chips.
 
However, if you want to do the seamless, then here are some links you can look at to get some info.  You'll probably want to get some adhesive tapes also- LG alone will not be enough to hold the hair cut from the weft without terrible shedding.
Take a look at these and you will get a better idea:

personally, I prefer proclaim over LG...  How do you remove the tapes? 

Thanks so much everyone , this site is wonderful i never get this many answers at any other hair forums ..i like lots of oppinions :) But thats alittle disapointing ...lg wont hold the hair well by itself .... ill try what you said about the tapes .

Hey Karen, no I haven't used glamour hair. I know I've referred people to it a few times My girlfriend gets their seamless wefts and she loves it. She said the hair lasts through several installs. It's also a super easy method. I think it's the same as UltraTress but they only sell to licensed beauticians. Glamour hair wefts don't have a whole lot of hair though. You have to double them up, for sure. I don't know what type of hair they sell. I'm guessing it's not European.

I have really thin blonde hair and I had an install w/extend tubes (same concept as the micro tubes) and the attachments poked out here and there.  It felt like little peebles on my head too.  That method wasn't good for my thin hair.
