I've been doing extensions since '89 but the last few years have gotten away from it. I have a client scheduled in a couple of weeks and decided to brush up on new techniques, products etc. WOW! A lot has changed. I've always used wax sticks, but now I see "Keratin" sticks. My questions: 1.What are the primary differences between Keratin and the old fashioned wax sticks? 2. Are keratin sticks as much of a pain the the arse to remove? (the one thing I hated most about wax!) 3. Can I use the same type of gun as I used with wax? Sorry for so many questions. I just want to be sure to make an informed choice. I also want to say how relieved I am to have found an active board on the topic. Your community seems well educated on the topics and very friendly. I was really nervous about putting my toes back in the water.. but now I'm just excited! |

keratin is better by far than wax. Having said that, there are far better new methods than fusion available on the market these days.
For individuals I would suggest that you look into silicone lined microrings or shrinkies.
For weft methods check out Protac tape. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

LOL No worries. I run a busy board myself... I know how it is some days. This is a wonderful place.. and added in my bookmarked list :) Thanks for the links, I'm sure I'll find all my answers there. Since there is little time to learn a new method, I'll be sticking to fusion for the time being. The shrinkies definately looked like something I would like to try in the future. |
