Subject: Chrissy V glue not holding..

So I got some Chrissy V glue to try and it is not holding in my hair at all... not even slightly. I used it according to the directions on the back of the bottle, and using a hairdryer to set it, and it slides right out with a slight tug, I wouldn't even be able to brush the hair... it would come right out!
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Does this glue have a really long drying time? I'm irritated! Thats an expensive bottle of glue! grr. |

Dunebug...thats odd but I did experience a problem one time with CV...try letting the glue sit at room temp for awhile, sometimes straight out of the fridge its too thin, and soaks into the weft too much. Usually chrissyv sets reasonably quick and holds very well...so Im not sure other than the glue possibly being too cold. Besides that Im sure you know all the normal stuff like washing just before install, no conditioner...etc... ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

| Hmm... I just picked it up from the UPS and its super duper runny. I wonder if I refrigerate it and then let it go back to room temp if that will change the consistency. It did seem very liquidly, its about the consistency of mik or maybe cream right now. |

My experience with Chrissy V was that you have to keep it cool, which makes it more thick. Then you have to use a lot of the glue and sandwich more hair over the weft with more glue. It is messy as all get-out to use and the smell will give you a nasty headache if you use it a lot. For me it turned white after a few days and looked like a bad scalp condition, but it did hold okay. I prefer LG/Protac, for ease of application, appearance, and length of wear. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

oh wow....chrissyv glue must have changed its ingredients/consistancy since I used it...its been several years. It used to be in a tin can, which its now in a plastic bottle correct? And you had to take it out of the fridge and let it warm up a bit to thicken up a little before using. It worked better warmed than cold. And NEVER EVER did any color (other than the clear) turn any color other than its original color....Hmmm ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Yes, it is now in the plastic bottle.... I dont know, even if I can get it to go on thicker I cant see it holding because the residue that was left in my hair after the wefts slid out jut brushed right out with a comb... it just didn't adhere to the hair at all.
Wierd, I wonder if I got a bad bottle, I've messaged them to see what their return policy is :( |

Ifit seems runny, shake the bottle up. Put wefts in and press on them a good 5 mintues, and then don't touch them again for another 15 minutes or so. The glue takes a full 24 hours to fully cure. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

I shook it really well before using it, and waited half an hour before tugging on it... I will try one more time and do a test piece and try to not touch it for 24 hours and see what happens...

jeepgirl, you definitely dont want to put your LG in the fridge. Its a different type of glue than CV, and doesnt require refrigeration. Some people actually suggest warming LG up in the microwave or hot water to use it. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Hi Dunebug:
I too tried the Chrissy V glue with the exact results that you had. I emailed Chrissy and she was too short and hateful. She said I was not using the product correctly and cut me off right away. So, she was rude and I am stuck with a $50 bottle of wishful perfect hair. Again. Oh well, just hope this saves others some serious dough.
1. Runny product, no matter what you do to it.
2. Smells great if you are a whiffer.
3. Leaves chunks of white flakey pie crust in your hair.
4. Might catch on fire if you keep that ole blow drier going.
5. Slides out if you lay in the sun. (shouldn't be doing it anyway so there!).
6. Ask for a refund and Chrissy V will treat you like the poor white trash you are.
Char

Maybe we could tell her to check out this thread- At least she will read the mean things we say about her product behind her back because she won't let us say them to her face--er I mean email. Oh=maybe she's too busy working on Michael Jackson's weave or some other rich and famous persons do!! Char

So sorry to hear...when I first started using CV (way back in the day) I would email CV with questions or if I had a problem. She was super fast to answer and always friendly...even gave me her telephone # to call her on the phone to talk to her personally. I talked to her on the phone a couple of times. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

I do use LG, but I can only get about 3 weeks out of it... and it also breaks up and looks like a scalp condition after a couple of weeks in my hair so I was hoping the ChrissyV would perform better for me. But sadly not.
P.S. Still no reply from the venerable Miss Chrissy V. |

Are these the only hair bonding glues out there? Surely somebody has to have something that would work better.... atleast not dry out and get white and flakey.... and not harden up as fast a LG.
Oh Hair Goddess above..... we pray that you give us what we want and need for our hair.......GLUE....GOOD GLUE.....AMEN!!
and oh.... if you have time..... tangle free.... long silky.... cheap hair.
Hey I figured if we were gonna wish ....we should wish big! ------------- Thanks, JeepGirl Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great! |

| I will share my experience. I've ordered twice. It never held very well though it did remove very very easily. The second time I ordered Priority shipping (2-3 days), and for some reason they decided to just send it overnight and double my shipping cost, which I never authorized them to do. I called to politely to thank them for such quick shipping, but as I asked for Priority shipping, I only expected to pay for Priority shipping, and that I should be refunded for the extra overnight shipping charge they put on my card. After all, if I wanted to pay for overnight shipping, I would have specified that. Anyhow, after going back and forth, she finally told me that I "must obviously need the money more than" her, so she did refund the doubled shipping charge. |

I have applied the Chrissy V to many clients and it always holds for 6-8 weeks. It's not a bad product. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| Chrissy Vittallo is rude and the glue is not even patented and very dangerous.Only the method is patented. That is the scam!! It is highly flammable and toxic. A hot comb can start yoour head on fire. There are a lot of people trying to sue her company. Check out IPS Weld on site. It is also a cancer risk! She is a scam artist and an ex stripper and a "escort" or should I say hooker that sued Engelbert to start her business. She is bad news. |

Hmmmm
Newhair you seem pretty upset for someone who bought glue that didn't work on her. **Welcome to the world of hair extensions**
Honey, move on. Just saw the slams about Christy V you posted on you tube.....
Let's see, you first started posting about the glue back in 2006.....and you just submitted more put downs on you tube 4 hours ago??!!
5 years girlfriend......
It's gotta be more than just some bad glue.
I don't know Kristy V, maybe she is a bitch?!
But still 5 years ago, come on.

I use Chrissy V glue and it IS expensive and it has been runny the lately and it doesnt last more than about 3 weeks...BUT, it actually comes out of the hair easily without losing half of my hair!! I wish I could find a glue that lasted longer and came out with ease. Every other glue I have tried, including LG is a mess to get out and I lose a great deal of my hair trying. For now I live with the Chrissy V glue flakes and accept it wont last very long. I wish there was a better option but there is not. By the way, Chrissy has always answered calls herself and helps me ASAP. Glue was sent to an old address one time and she sent me a new bottle right away. I also had a batch that I thought was unusually thin and not holding. She did not make me send it to her. She admitted that it can happen and sent me new glue without charge. For now, it is the only glue I will use. They are ALL smelly and toxic though!!!! |
