yes it works. It takes a little more time than acetone, but it will work. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

It doesn't work that great, depending on the type of fusion glue. You really need acetone for the job. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| Thank you. It's good to know . I'll keep both acetone and citrus on hand . I don't do much fusion (not in a long time anyway) but I have a potential client who has fusion (may be GL) done somewhere else and may want me to take them out and redo with the silicone rings or "shr" . I haven't seen her hair yet but from what I hear she keeps them in for around 6 months. So I am guessing her hair is a mess. I am not sure if I want to tackle someone elses mess. But I don't want her hair to get any more damaged. I'll keep you posted. |

oh if its GL...I think alcohol is what they use for removal. 6 months....yiiiiikes, sounds like a potential mess to me! ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

| Acetone and alcohol both dry out the glue turning it to a powder that ideally will easily flake away with a crunch of the pliers. Anything oily, including any orange oil remover turns a fusion bond somewhat gummy and makes for a much harder removal imo. |

Thank you for that info delin! I havent used fusion for awhile, but acetone is the only way I will do a fusion takedown...although I know some people are highly against using acetone. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Alcohol you say. Could you use like Vodka, or does it have to be something stronger? ------------- http://www.extensionsbysynne.dk/">

LOL Synne! Drink the Vodka, and use medical grade rubbing alcohol on the fusion bonds! Although....I have heard of people using Bacardi 151 Rum on GL bonds! ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

aimee rubbing alcohol you can buy in a couple of different percentages, I would try the strongest one. Ive never used alcohol on fusion bonds just acetone, and I buy that at the beauty supply store. Its the professional strength acetone usually found in the acrylic nail supply area. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Try using olive oil, it works like a charm, the tapes just slip right out. You will need to wash your hair really good, to get the oil out, but I have used it, and it takes the tapes off the wefts like butter!! |

Lol Sherrie, I canŽt have anything stronger than wine because I rarely drink, so I would get veery drunk And I really do not like the stuff anymore. To much vodka and orangejuice in the teen years I think IŽll try look for strong alcohol and try it out as soon as possible. ------------- http://www.extensionsbysynne.dk/">
