Isn't it?!
And there's nothing cheap about it, LHD. The way GL makes the customer replace the hair for each refit - which by ALL ACCOUNTS is still great hair in reusable condition - is just sheer waste for the sole purpose of shaking you down for another $800. So I'm with you on that. I think Fina is onto something big here.

And with Kristin's new and improved chips?! OMG I can't wait.

So why latex then fusion glue?

why not LG then fusion?  or Aleenes? or something really water proof?  or or or?

I just associate latex with gumminess.

mmm so many experiemtns to be done...

You know, mocha, when I use latex to pretip, it dries well and is not really that gummy. I also cover the very well dried latex tip with nail glue so that probably helps.
I was gonna get into a discussion about using Aleene's but that would be OFFICIALLY jacking this thread so I won't.


Chips 'n tips.

Now it sounds like something that goes with margaritas...

Help me understand...

We're putting a fusion bond BACK into the hair as the sole method of attachment?

ok ... I like the sound of these.

How do they cope with oil/conditoners etc..?

Can they slip?

Angelfruit:

I've had mine in for about 4 weeks now and they are still going strong. I even condition my hair as I would without extensions and use a little biosilk serum with no problems. I don't expect these babies to budge till I decide to take them out.

Would you like me to send you a free sample?

The samples are free to anyone who wants to try them. I've sent off plenty of samples to the UK and Canada

Just send me your address to Kristin@HairCandy.net and they'll be on their way.

Received my chips and practiced a few on my Barbie doll head. I first tried one on my head but screwed it up. It came out with such ease! I do have a question Kristen. Are we to just put the chip on one side of the wand? We don't clamp down on the chip with both sides of the wand? I like the method, but I need a class! Each one that I try seems to come out better than the last, so I'm going to keep plugging away at it! They roll great too!

That's great to hear elvira! It took me a couple chip to get the hang of it too and then I got it down  

When I put the chip in the wand I let it melt, then tap the wand shut to get both sides coated with the adhesive and then I apply it. I'll add that to my tutorial.

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
