poly amide is kinda a broad term. some are goign to be more
susceptible to oil than others. Just like some are more
susceptible to acetone than others

polyamide
A polyamide is a polymer containing monomers joined
by peptide bonds. They can occur both naturally, examples being wool and silk, and can be made artifically, examples being Nylon and Kevlar.
The amino group and the carboxylic acid group can be on the same monomer, or the polymer can be consituted of different two
different bifunctional monomers, one with two amino groups, the other with two carboxylic acid or
acid chloride groups.
Amino Acids can be taken as examples of single monomer (if the difference between
R groups is ignored) reacting with identical molecules to form a polyamide:
Hmmmm, so you are saying that cheap craft glue
sticks are safe to use on our hair? If that's
true, we wouldn't have to order the more expensive keratin
sticks online. We could just save our money and go to
the craft store.
Actually, I'm pretty sure what she's saying is that it worked for
pre-tipping hair- not for actual fusion-style bonding. Someone else
here on the board (metalgirl?) had a girl come in with home-done fusion
done with craft glue, and it was reeeeeally bad.
Also, about Amm's shriknie residue remover: it's orange oil. Yes, just
orange oil. It sounds wimpy, but it's some strong stuff; if anyone has
ever used that "Fast Orange" auto-garage hand soap, then you know what
I mean- it cuts through engine grease like nothing else. If I were to
use any adhesive-based system, for sho' I would use the orange oil over
acetone. I feel how soft my nails get after using acetone polish
remover, and the thought of someone's hair being similarly soft makes
me skittish.
She did mention though that some of the craft glue melted into the hair when the heat was applied to the shrinkies, but that it came out with remover. That's what I was going on.
I might have to pick up some orange oil to try it out and compare with acetone.

OKay so Amanda, you pretipped with craft glue, correct? And when you took the shrinkie and the strand out, the tip was still intact, even somewhat? Or did the tip disintigrate when you removed it? And the residue on the hair from the shrinkie/tip came out with shrinkie remover? Amazing. I wanted to try craft glue cuz my strands tipped with latex don't stay in for s*** - the shrinkies stay in fine, however.
And pls keep us posted with shrinkie fall out updates. Thanks!
I just used this for tipping the hair. I would just use keratin for fusion. These are clear glue sticks from the local craft/diy store that are used in a hot melt glue gun just to clarify what they are. The tip was still in tact when I moved the strand. The residue completely came out with the shrinkie remover. I will definitely keep you posted. I've just put some in someone's hair to try it with extentubes so I'll keep you posted whether they hold up in them as well xxx
