Hi all! Long time lurker, new member here. So I'm taking
out my fusion bonds with acetone and they come out fine, but it leaves
a lot of residue in my hair (I mean enough to do another bond
to!). So besides actually dunking my head in a bucket of acetone
(thought about it but thought it be a bad idea )...
i wish there was a shampoo or something to get it all over and
out. I tried putting some fusions in my hair but decided it was
going to take forever... so i think I'm going to try Protac with my
left over hari. All this acetone and tension on a single clump of
hair can't be good~ I just can't wait to get them back
in!!! ps- this forum rocks! i have learned so much that the girl at the hair supply thought I was a professional!  |

Welcome luv2!
Same thing with me when I do the occasional fusion testing. I use a finetooth comb and a lot of patience but it's enough to keep me off fusion bonds. Oh yes, go for the Pro-Tac. Self-installs for us at home extensionists has never been easier! Lots of success stories with it. Let us know if we can help. :) ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| Well, I finally got all the extensions out. I have white clumps of glue still in there... so I started to think about how you shouldn't treat extensions.... i coated my hair with 1/2 tube of conditioner and slowly it's coming out. No more fusion for me! |

I remove my fusion extensions myself, using acetone and pinching the bond with flat nose pliers several times until the bond crumbles, then I can usually pull at the end of the extension hair and most of it comes out. If there is still glue, I put a few more drops of acetone on it and crunch with the pliers again, then use a fine tooth comb. It takes me 5 HOURS to get them out!!!!!!! but I am VERY careful not to break any of my own hair, as I do not have much to spare and it is a very fine texture.
I don't think my hair is liking all of that acetone. It is becoming frizzy and my extension hair is healthier than my own!!! I am looking for something else to remove the bonds with, they are keratin. I have seen things such as orange oil, and I wonder how they work and if they are harder to use. Any advice would be helpful!!! |

the orange oil will work too. Some people prefer it over acetone. Personally the orange oil burns the heck out of my skin and scalp and I cant use it. But many people have great success with the orange oil. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |
