My take-down wasn't too bad. The Protac had been in my hair for 6 weeks, a record for me, that I don't plan on doing again, since the tapes were sort of 'melting' on the wefts in some parts.
The wefts, that were 4 months old already, were so sticky for some of them, that I was grossed out at the idea of putting them back on my head.
I cleaned all the wefts but some of them were just so sticky still that I decided to use some new fresh Bohyme hair I had in reserve.
Totally unplanned, but I just couldn't put these sticky wefts back in.
Fot this new install I tried to use the full length of 3 of the handtied wefts.
I did the double sandwich technique for the first time on long and very long wefts.
I thought this technique was kind of tricky, and can get bulky very fast.
After HOURS of work in my bathroom, and the fumes of pure acetone and LG I started to feel sick , but I had to finish my job though!

I had a few problems with wefts that were glued with LG, slidding right out of my hair, putting LG all over my natural hair + extensions, because the bond wasn't dried yet. I wasn't used to wait for the drying /blowdrying of LG. What a huge mess! I had to clean up some areas of my head without screwing the work I had already done, and I was slowly running out of Acetone!
I still did my litlle tape+LG combo for the top rows, to make these wefts as invisible as possible and the rest all with LG.
I am kind of nervous to see how it holds, but I am glad to not have much tape in anymore!!!
Also, one of the double-sandwich I did with LG was ugly/bulky and kind of showing so I decided to take it out and re-do it this morning.
I know that some of you have problems with 'fresh' LG, I didn't. I used acetone of the bonds, then Goo Gone on the hair to get rid og the little pieces of Protac, then comb with a thin comb, and it was fine.
Goo Gone is so useful for me, I used it to take out the stickiness of the tapes out of my own hair, I find that it is the best. I poured a lot of it on my head, massaged and comb, then shampooed 2 or three times with Neutrogena anti-residus shampoo. Then blowdry. Then apply Goo Gone on the still-sticky areas, massage+shampoo a couple of times and blowdry.
I lost a lot of hair again after take-down, hair that I hope was just stuck in the tapes for the past 6 weeks and should have shedded naturally.
I have about 4 new handtied Bohyme wefts and about 2 'old' (4 month old) individual wefts in right now.
What a difference new hair makes! It looks so much fuller, even though it is still 4 oz.
I guess it is maybe one of the reason why some of you use new hair?... not because the 'old one' is ugly and tangly, but because it has shedded and has lost its normal density?...
So anyway, here are the pics! ...
