Weft bonding demo updated

The waiting sometimes is impossable!!! (ok, so I am a bad speller, I know that, and have learned to accept it )

I must have a boring life, because I can't wait for the mail each day, it's like the highlight of my day!!  And I don't order alot of things, so it's not like I am getting packages left and right!!

I guess I need to get out more often  LOL.

yep Sans the lg will stick to your scalp for a little while, its almost impossible to avoid, but I guess that never really bothered me. It never felt heavy to me, but yes itchy sometimes! But Ive experienced the itchy phases with every method Ive tried!

And Ive never had a problem with putting the hair up. Its hard to do a high pony tail comfortably (for me, others say they do it all the time) until after the wefts get a little looser. I do a low or medium ponytail all the time. But Ive also found it more difficult and uncomfortable with any other method too until the bonds are a bit further from the scalp and not pulling it when you put the hair in an tight/upward position.

usually at least a week or a little more. But then it doesnt bother me, so I never try preventing it. After a while of doing bonded wefts I learned how much to apply so I dont get as much of the glue that seeps through, onto my scalp. But I like to use alot of glue to penetrate through all the hair and give a good bond, so its a toss up. I have heard of someone using saran wrap (I think?) under the area so that the glue didnt seep through onto the scalp. Dont know if that would work or not?

machine weft KB...

I couldnt wait KB...I had to get the hair off of my head. I believe it was totally beyond any hope. I tried sooo many things and nothing helped. The past week the tangling out of the shower was unreal, it was like a big rats nest and  yesterday it took me 30 minutes to comb out the tangles/with products. I was snapping and breaking the hair just trying to get it untangled. After dry and styled within 15 minutes it was all matted up. So it had to go....Im so bummed!

but you are using darker colors of RK right? That has worked out much better than the light blonde shades

Just another question Sherrie regarding the paragraph below, I don't get where the 2inch wide sections come into it, do you mean you work in 2inch wide sections after you've pulled the thin layer of hair over, do you glue that and press with the crochet hook in 2inch wide sections?  Also do you blow dry for 10 seconds on hot or cool heat xxx

2. Then I pull down (from the hair that is clipped up) a very fine layer (I mean thin enough that you can see the track through it) of natural hair and glue that over the top of the wefted row that you've just bonded. And you only need a little glue for this second layer.
(I put the glue on the top of the bonded track then I use a small metal crochet hook to press the hair into the glue so you dont get your fingers all gooey. I only work with about 2 inch wide sections on this second layer so the glue doesnt set before you get the row completed.)

Amanda...when Im doing the 'sandwich' (the thin layer of hair that I pull down from the clipped up hair, to glue over the top of the track) I only use a small amount of glue. So I apply the glue to about a 2 inch section of the track then pull down the hair and bond that (I use the metal crochet hook to press the hair into the glue, to keep my fingers from getting so gooey) then I move on across the row sandwiching it by 2 inch sections at a time.

You dont have to do it this way, it just helps me from getting so messy with glue, and since its only a little glue that I use for the sandwiching, the glue will set up a little faster (depending on the type of glue), so working with smaller sections helps.

I use high heat to cure the bond
