Hi everyone I just thought  that I would post my second install with Amm's Pro-tac.  My first one lasted 5 1/2 weeks and it probably could have gone longer, but I seemed to have a lot of matting in the top 2 rows.  This has always been my trouble area, whether it is wefts or strands.  If anyone has any advice, please let me know.

Anyways, removal went pretty good until I got to the matted stuff, and it seemed to be matted mostly in the "beard" of the weft.  I washed the wefts and has some issues with the "goo" that was left on them.  I used acetone and that helped some, but I think that best was just straight conditioner.  Anyways, I re-installed with some goo still attached to the wefts, I just tried to pick most of the "chunks" out.

I also decieded to add some highlights the way Amm showed on an earlier post.  They went on the tape good, but I re-inforced them with nail glue, and they are very hard.  That seems to be the only drawback.

Anyways, here is a before pic.  My hair is just so gross!!  I didn't style it at all, just blew it out.  

 

 

And Wa-La, full thick wonderful hair in under 2 hours!!

 

So if anybody can give me some advice on how to stop the matting, I would really apprciate it.

i would suggust every day, to finger comb thru the hair- run your finger along the top and underneath of the weft to not allow any of your own hair to matt up

The difference is incredible...I hadn't seen your before, before

How long did your take out take (man, I'm good at repeating words)...I used amms rremover, and it took me about an hour (I had about 1/2 of what you had in there)...I got better as I went though...

The install looks incredible gsmilie! I like the highlights on you! I think that the nail glue will soften, it always has for me. And one thing that I do after Ive used nail glue to reinforce an edge is to keep bending it back and forth so it isnt so stiff (after its dry)

My God! The difference there is incredible.

I have to say, the second 'before' picture looks very funny because the photo has squished up a bit. You look tiny and fluffy.

Have to say, can't believe how much like natural hair your install looks.

Hey thanks everyone.  I know, I can't believe the difference myself.  And I actually walked around with shi$$y hair like that for years.  Granted I did style it so it did look better. But not by a whole lot.

I don't know what is wrong with that picture, I can't for the life of me turn it.  All the other ones uploaded in the correct postion, except for that one.  As for tiny and fluffy, that is a new one, I've never been called that before.  It's kinda like a kitty, right?

I had my kid's Dr. comment to me today on how long my hair has grown.  And of course I couldn't lie, and he actually had the nerve to want to see how it was attached to my head.  It was pretty funny though, as I said "A girl can't give away all her secrets!"

Anyways, thanks for all the complements.  I will have to post a pic of my hair when I straighten it.  It looks so sleek!!
