ANYONE heard of this procedure?

im excited about it i spoke to a great lady and she knows what shes talking about..

It is the method I use most in my salon and I love it. You can see examples here. http://www.clubsalon.com - http://www.clubsalon.com   select salon services then ablout half way down you will see a link for examples. All of these pics are So Caps and GL.

Why is it called "Cold" fusion if it's the same process as GL?

1. The machine they use for the cold fusion process
2. Their hair
3. The combination of materials they use on the bonds

The cold fusion process itself is "borrowed" from the industrial world -- specifically Ultrasonic Welding.. To say that the cold fusion process does not use heat is technically not true.. Ultrasonic waves are not hot, but the effect on the bonds produces heat through friction, therefore melting the bond, so it will adhere with the hair..

Ultrasonic welding When bonding material through ultrasonic welding, the energy required comes in the form of mechanical vibrations. High-frequency vertical vibrations (20 to 70kHz) are used to increase the temperature and plastify the material. The parts to be bonded are simultaneously pressed together. The simultaneous action of static and dynamic forces causes a fusion of the parts without having to use additional material. This procedure is used on an industrial scale for linking both plastics and metals. Ultrasonic welding of plastics is a state-of-the-art technology that has been in use for many years. Frictional heat is produced so that material plasticizes locally, forging an insoluble connection between both parts within a very short period of time. The joint quality is very uniform because the energy transfer and the released internal heat remains constant and is limited to the joining area. In order to obtain an optimum result, the joining areas are prepared to make them suitable for ultrasonic bonding.

USA Hair Extensions, notes, “The machine, dubbed the Ultrastar, is an innovative product because instead of “melting” the extension onto the hair using heat, it uses sound waves.  The high frequency waves literally vibrate the pre-bonded tip on the hair extension, causing friction, which causes the bonds between the keratin to soften.  Since hair is made up of keratin as well, when the keratin tip on the extension becomes liquid, it essentially fuses to the natural hair.  This process allows for a healthy, natural, strong and long-lasting bond, all without using damaging heat.”

Diva...you go girl!  As someone else once said...you remind me of our girl Jenny.

So then once again, the 'cold' fusion term is just another play on words. I think most people assume when they hear the words cold fusion process, that it doesnt involve the use of heat. Technically yes I knew that the ultrasonic waves do produce some form of heat to 'melt' the bond.

Speaking of the patent issue, a certain other process is also 'borrowed' from the industrial world.

LOL.....ok...Im shhhhhhhshing now!
