I'm sure I remember reading about people reinforcing machine wefts to prevent shedding but I did a search and didn't find much. So to anyone who has done this - what did you use? I think I remember gel nail glue being mentioned somewhere... Does the glue dry hard or would it still be flexibile? Thankyou for any help x |

To reinforce my wefts, I sometimes zig zag stitch over the tops a few times with the sewing machine. Nail glue does work very well, but I think it does make the weft top kind of hard, but it still has some flexibility. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| I remember reading that if you use nail glue GEL, it still stay pliable. I bought some, but forgot to try it. Maybe tonight I will, I'll let you know. |

Thankyou :) I looked all over town yesterday for nail glue but couldn't find any of the 'gel' kind. Anyone have any thoughts on whether a gel-based superglue might work? Do you think it would withstand washing? |

| I found mine at Sally's. I paid about $4.00 for it. I would think that super glue gel would be work the same, as it is the same stuff. |

| Ah thankyou, I wasn't sure if it was the same thing or not. Unfortunately there's no Sally's in the UK :( |

I did an internet search about a month ago looking for the the differences in the nail glue and super glue, I found a "glue" website that listed all the ingredients and the flash point and yada yada yada, anyways, they are the same compound. So I would assume the gel would be the same also. I still haven't tried reiforcing mine, but I am going to try this weekend. I will let you know how it goes.
