So I finally decided to take my pro-tacs out, they weren't slipping or loose
even! My hair seems to be growing speedy and they were starting to show. The strips came out like a breeze! Stupid me decided to use that proclaim bonding glue just to make sure the pro-tacs stayed in...I am never using that stuff again!! 
That's the only thing left in my hair. It's weird gluey (I think it's latex) and so I can't get it out easily. I am letting it soak in oil right now, then I am going to see what I can comb out with out killing myself, then try acetone, then just wash wash wash! If anyone has any tips for getting this out let me know, I have a feeling it will be in my hair for a while! On another note, I got some shorter blonde hair today, sewed on some clips, and I am going to try to do that cute light on bottom, dark on top I see some people doing. I don't know if I can pull it off though, we will see! |

Tangles suggests using cornstarch baby powder on a comb to get the last
of the sticky residue off the hair. I tried it with my wefts and was amazed at how much came off with the powder. I combed a bunch through dry hair, brushed with a boar bristle brush, then shampoo'd once and the hair was perfectly clean. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

If you use the proclaim shampoo remover it breaks all the proclaim glue down. Then I usually just put lots of conditioner on my hair and it slips away, I then use a small tooth comb like a 'nit' comb and just come until it comes out, usually takes me about 15 mins of combing in the shower with lots of conditioner on. ------------- |

Did you use machine weft or handtied weft? I always fear using the handtied cuz they're so tiny, and I feel like I'd have to use alot to get a full head of hair. ------------- All hail the DIYers Hoorah! Hoorah! :D |

I'm going to have to try the cornstarch baby powder today. I've looked for
the shampoo, and I couldn't find it anywhere around me. They did have the conditioner though, wonder if that's the same. I used the oil, then just combed through it. Got a good amount out, but it hurt like....#%#@!!! [: ^(] So I just couldn't take anymore, got in the shower, tried using some dish soap and combed through it, this got a lot more out, I was surprised, was painful in some areas, but not too bad. So now I just have a few clumps that are too close to my scalp to get a comb above, and that sticky feeling all over. Gross. I am going to put on a hat or something and run and get some baby powder... Thanks for all the advice! |

Oh, I used microwefts, not sure which type, but it really didn't take much to make it nice and full. I doubled up a lot of the wefts, and right now I am making clips with the microwefts and I just sewed 2 wefts together and it's still small, but it's nice and thick. But, I'm normally a strand by strand girl, so this whole weft thing is new to me. I don't have experience with any other types of wefts at this point. |
