Sherrie and I had been discussing my problem with the top wefts showing
and coming out too easily, using Pro-Tac. Sherrie said she uses LG for her top wefts but says the LG shows in dark hair. She referred me to Chrissy V bonding glue. I went to the website at www.chrissyv.com and saw that they use a different kind of glue that comes in dark brown and black. Unlike latex glue, it removes easily with acetone. The website suggested that this method is specifically for people trying to install wefts into very fine, thin hair. The downside is that it is expensive - $49.99 for 4 oz. plus 10.00 for shipping. The customer service was great -- I ordered online and had my product two days later! I did a trial install of just the very top small piece in the back which is the one most likely to slip and show in my hair. The installation was a cinch, and I can say that by using the glue and sandwiching my fine hair over it, I have almost completely hidden the weft! The problem for me with the Pro-Tac showing is that it looks white, shiny and like a straight line in the top of my hair. With the Chrissy V, I can sandwich the hair over the weft using a blob of dark glue that seems to just blend the weft into the overall look of the hair. It dries dark, and flat rather than shiny. I've had the bond in two days and haven't shampooed yet, but it is holding well so far. I like that I can touch up a little corner that might lift without having to take the whole weft out. I'll post more after I've done a full install using Chrissy V on all my top wefts. I think I may have found the solution to the last glitch in getting wefts into my hair and meeting my very picky standards for how it looks. I love the Pro-Tac but it just wasn't working for those top wefts. Thank you, Sherrie, for a GREAT recommendation...and your new intall pics are fabulous! Anyone who might think that a DIYer can't do extensions as well as a pro needs to look at those pictures. Your hair is beautiful, and you are gorgeous! |

Kristie, I like Chrissy v too because i wear black hair. But be
careful, it doesn't last long; so use it quick. I've wasted '2' over
half full bottles because they dried up in bottle on me quick and
I had to order more. Bummer! I kept in fridge too.

Hmmm...has ChrissyV changed the packaging? Are they now putting it in bottles? It used to be in a small aluminum can with a screw top lid, that would keep for ages in the fridge. It never dried out and usually never got too thick either, and you could add just a drop of the remover to thin it if necessary. Glad its working out for you Kristie. I liked ChrissyV glue alot but for the price difference I can use LG without the color being an issue! Wait til you remove the ChrissyV glue...its so easy! (thats the one thing that LG doesnt compare to CV) |

Chrissy V now comes in a plastic 4 oz. bottle with a pointy screw-cap
applicator. Thanks for the heads-up, Koffee--I won't try to stretch it out to make it last. In spite of the cost, and even if it dries up rather quickly, I'm sold on this stuff for my top wefts. Sherrie, I'm thrilled to find a product I like that actually removes easily. Pro-tac and shrinkies are great, but that extra amount of stickiness you deal with on take-down still stresses me out. I'm sure I'll get over it with time. Speaking of new products, I got my extra Elite Remy today and it is soooo pretty. I got some silicon microrings as well, and couldn't wait to stick a few in my hair. They went in in an instant and lie so much flatter than the shrinkies. They don't feel like they're going to slip at all, either. It was Christmas at my house today! Nothing more exciting than the arrival of a package from shrinkies.net!!! |

According to Sherrie, the glue comes out almost instantaneously with a
little acetone. As long as you wash the acetone out of your hair, there is no damage whatsoever. Amazing. |

Jenny I would use the blonde/light brown since my roots are darker. I tried the clear and did not like it at all.Looked white and highly visable in my hair. But for someone who is white blonde or platinum it may be fine. ChrissyV is a very gentle glue. And shouldnt cause any damage when removing. Its the easiest removal of any bonding glue Ive ever used. But with any glue or any method, the biggest cause for damage isnt the glue or the method itself, its improper installation or removal that causes damage. |

I emailed Chrissy suggesting that she package the glue in 1 oz bottles
, in a set of 4 bottles. That way pricing could stay same ($49); but
u'd be able to use one bottle and be done w/ it, rather than opening
and closing same bottle and having it dry up. ------------- K-B |

| great idea KB. I wonder why she switched from the aluminum/tin can that it used to be in. It kept forever in the fridge. It used to come in the can, and you got a small plastic applicator bottle in the package to pour the glue into as you needed it, and she recommended that you always pour the unused glue back into the can for storage. |

Sherrie, well if she doesn't take my suggestion.. I'd advise anyone who
purchases it to transfer it to some type of aluminum can. Since that
seems to be best way to store it. I wonder if u could just put plastic
bottle inside a big can... As for me, i doubt i'll purchase anymore unless it's in smaller sized bottles. Tho it IS a great product. Kinda like the Ultra Hold lace front glue. It's awesome glue and holds your wig forever... but MAN is it messy to use and it dries up quick too. And quite pricey. So rather than waste another half bottle of it, i sought out another glue. ha!  . Buti'm still on the hunt for Ultra Hold in smaller bottle.. if anybody knows .. holla ETA: Sherrie, maybe my suggestion to Chrissy should have been that she resume using the aluminum cans  ------------- K-B |

U know what Sherrie, I think i did see in the instructions somewhere about 'keep can in fridge' and i wondered : WHAT CAN, this is a bottle? But i guess she hadn't reprinted her instructions yet. I ordered the glue for first time about 1 1/2 yrs ago, the did another order about 5 months later. ------------- K-B |

I think I'm going to put my plastic bottle inside a Ball jar with a tight-
fitting lid and see if that keeps it any fresher. |

A Ball jar is a glass jar used for canning. It has a tightly sealed metal lid
that allows a good seal for preservation. You can find them at your local grocery. |
