    Posted: July 31 2005 at 12:56pm

I just experimented with her fusion chips after reading her tuturial. The reason why the glue was getting all over everything but the hair was because I did not clamp my wand together after the chip melted. So I followed her instructions and put the fusion chip in my wand for a few seconds, then clammped it together to get glue on both ends, opened it back up, placed my hair that was NOT pretipped onto my real hair and then clammped down for a few seconds, then opened the clamp, waited a couple seconds more and then twisted with my fingers! Man, that was so quick and easy. Who knew?

Has anyone else tried this? I think I'm in love with fusion tips now. I only placed five across the nape of my neck area to try it out and my placement wasn't so great, but it's so quick and it's comfortable too!

I agree...these chips have made me a fusion installer again.  And the removal is great!  I'm still a little messy and need to work on the rolling part of it, but I'm really happy with these.

I second that ... these chips are amazing. I use half a chip per bond
... it's so quick ... and are so easy to remove with no breakage (I use
liquid gold remover and acetone).

I have never been one for fusion ... but now I prefer it over
microlinks ... so undetecable.

I love these chips

I *think* they are supposed to last 'the norm' - like 6 weeks?

Probably - I've been installing with them and I think I *finally* have it down - thanks to Elvira's reminder that I don't have to "pretip" !!  I don't see why they wouldn't last that long. I've got one fresh head-ful of them so I'll report. . .

Fina - are you using HH or synthetic?

Sorry, this might sound stupid, but with this method you wouldn't be able to re-use the hair right?, since it's like putting bulk hair in your hair

Not a stupid question Laura. I would imagine when you take the bond out that the hair would stay together while it's sliding out? I only have the bottom row in and haven't tried to take any out yet. I used HH and they are in there real good and tight. I would think that you could  pretip before installing?

These bonds come out *very* easily and relatively neatly. You could definitely re-use the hair, although the hair would not be in neat little pretips. It would be in sections (mostly) that if you removed carefully you could work with again. The problem is that you would have a lot of already cut, "bulk" hair sections. I just removed a bunch and I ended up tossing it cuz I didn't want to deal with it.
