Ah, the dreaded mullet effect...I can relate. Everyone here seems to be avoiding that look like the plague...if only it were the '80s again...

The best hair I've ever used--better than GLs--was a batch of hisandher Cuticle hand-tied 28 inch in black. Simply amazing hair, imo, but I can't vouch for the lighter colors.... I do think it would be great-quality hair no matter which color it was acutally, but quality also varies from batch to batch, and it's not cheap either... If you're sticking with human, I'd say it's worth checking out. If you're switching to synth, don't bother. :)

JennyRR~OMG!!!,I'm sorry that happened to your hair,That's awful!(Hugs!)There are 2 methods for great lengths application.I use the thermal heating method.I also just heat the bond enough to soften it up rather then boil the bonds.(The tempature of the thermal heating system is the same as of the low setting of a curling Iron)I'm not sure about The cold fusion machine though.The other technique is cold fusion with is actually lazer attatchment.I don't do the lazer(Cold Fusion)myself because the machine is very expensive,I think It costs $2500.I have talked to girls who said that tgey don't care for the fusion method for 2 reasons.#1-The bonds were said ti glow in the dark under Blacklights!on the Blonde extensions #2-The extensions don't last as long as thethermal heating.

Well...**** happens. I've had a lot of time to come to terms with it, and I've chatted with a lot of people online to try and understand what the problems were and how I could avoid them in the future. Fortnately, I've found a better method for me now. :)

There is definitely No acetone in great lemgths bond remover.IThe only thing I ever heard about acetone was that clients (not mine) were removing their own extensions with acetone nail polish to save money for the removal process!I actually had 1 client who told me that she was using (nail Polish).That's crazy just to save a buck or 2!

well I do know that acetone is used for many types of keratin fusion removal. Acetone is the main ingredient in the high dollar removers with a touch of grycerin & fragrance. So its worth just buying the professional acetone at the BSS for $3 a bottle, compared to $15-$40 for high dollar extension brand name products.

My understanding is that GL main ingredient in their remover is Isopropyl alcohol with a few other basically inert ingredients so there is no reason that you cannot replicate the solution. It is not completely necessary to use the GL name product when you can use the same ingredients found in your local drug store for only a few bucks.
