Hiya, I've just done my second diy install. My first was with the pro-tac strips using hiar I got from ebay. This worked really well and was easy to remove. I used all my strips for the first instal so decided to try bonding some wefts in. I used hair cbonding glue from Sally's and also bought their remover (which I guess is just a mix of oils). The install went well and I was pleased with how it looked. Decided to take it outr after a week though since the hair was pretty poor quality and it was tangling like crazy. I used the remover and spent ages carefully taking the wefts out. They came out really easily and without pulling any of my own hair. The problem I have is that I;m now left with loads of glue gunk residue in my hair. I've used almost the whol;e bottle of remover, washed and conditioned my hair several times but I just can't get rid of it. It feels so yucky! Fortnuately, I invested in a coulple of cute wigs a few months back so I was able to stick one of them on to go into work. Any tips as to how to get this glue out of my hair? I have terrible visions of my OH running his hand through my hair and it getting stuck Thanks in advance |

I wear this method quite a lot as I find it easy to manage and I take them out by going under the shower and use the Proclaim Superbond Remover Shampoo,(this can be bought from Sallys) I work it into a lather all over my head working in between the wefts and my own hair. I then rinse then fill my head full of conditioner and leave it in and just work the conditoner all over my head, you will then start to feel the wefts coming away from your natural hair. When all the wefts have come away from your own hair, condition again all over and I use a 'nit' comb and go through all my hair. The teeth are very close together and the glue residue just comes away as you comb through your hair. I then rinse and shampoo (using a different shampoo) & condition again and it is all out. Hope this helps |

I've only had this happen with shrinkies, but I figure it's similar. Try
putting a heavy oil in your hair (I used coconut because I had it on hand, but you could probably use olive oil or something of the sort) and try to leave it in as long as you possibly can stand. I think I left mine on for about 2 hours, then just comb through it using a comb like described above. It helped remove most of it. Also, there's the acetone route, I don't know much about it though. Goodluck, I know having that glue stuck in your hair really sucks. |

| Amms shrinkie residue takes out almost anything. It has taken shrinkie residue, liquid gold, and latex hair glue out better then the removers made for their respective glues. |

Hi, Thanks for all the advice. I'm now armed with Sally's bond removing shampoo, lots of remover oil, a nit comb and a ton of conditioner. I will have squeaky clean hair before the day is out I've definately learned my lesson. No more bonded wefts for me! Thanks again |

The only thing i hate about bonded wefts is the trouble getting all the residue out. I hate it when the glue goes all gumy too x ------------- |
Ive been wearing bonded wefts for months as i don't seem to make the time for my hair but i'll be making clip ons for my next install for a little change.
