So I ordered the Tiffany Twist Hair Kit and have been living with the install for the past week. I love the glue- it takes a bit of getting the hang of the texture- it is like a candle wax texture that comes in little cakes that you melt down in a little pot. It is FAST to complete an install, especially for indie bonds. The hair is wonderful too. I got 4 blonde colors, two light and one dark blonde and one strawberry blonde. Her remy hair is my first choice :) The only pain is that you MUST order a kit and the kits do not come in Remy quality. Aside from that, I am a convert. Now I can order all my refills in Remy and all my little bond cakes in the refill section of her store. Fast shipping and great Customer Service! |

No probs B Dub, I 'll post a pic of this install in a little while. I must also say that the removal of these is the FASTEST and easiest of any I have tried (keratin fusion, glued wefts, protac, LG, shrinks, links) |

I was just posting a response to the inquiry to another thread and caught your review! Pooks, I am so pleased you accomplished the application without difficulty!! The photos look great! That is amazing you did that with such short hair to begin with, too! Thank you! I also have photos of the bond on, http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair/hair_extension_process.htm - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair/hair_extension_process.htm ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |

pooks it turned out really great! so the bond stuff is not sold by itself?
the idea of a bond that crumbles sure beats those that everyone comes on here pleading for help on how to get out without ripping it out! ------------- lotta talkin 'bout hair n other stuff: http://www.diyextensions.net/ |

Hi pooks. Are you saying that the big ones can't take blowing drying, flat ironing etc.? I understand that the small oness are delicate, fusions w/keratin are the same way, but the big ones can't take heat like that either? Do they dry clearer like kind of sheer or the color they already are? Are they less detectable than keratin fusion or are they about the same? ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

Perhaps I can help? A good rule is this, if your skin can handle it, so can your bond. You wouldn't place a hot iron on your skin, right? Same with your bond. If your scalp can handle hot water for washing, so can your bond. Your skin can handle a hair dryer? So can your bond, at a distance. If your hot rollers are too hot to sit on your skin for as long as they would be in your hair, they are too hot for the bond as well. Just be careful with your gentle, but secure bond, as you would with burning your skin, and you shouldn't have any issues with compromising the integrity of the bond. And remember they were CREATED to be gentle with an easy removal safe for your hair. With proper care you will be so pleased! I may play up the safety of being gentle with the bond but that is to err on the side of caution and so you may be pleasantly surprised and happy with what this system can do! I LOVE Pooks' statement, "you have to feel these to understand them." She is so right!!! Thanks for all your great guidance, Pooks, and your bonds look awesome, far better than mine! I'd love photos for the site if you can. Especially for your ingenious way of mixing the lengths for those layers! I can't even tell you have extensions in! You totally win my award for best DIY-er!

Hi TiffanyTwist, thank you for taking the time to answer the questions. As you know I had some concerns about your system. I had 3 questions/concerns. The first being the application demonstration, but you have since put up new video on your website and resolved that concern. The second being the security of the bond and you have also clarified that. The third question/concern was the substance of the bond which I still dont know. I completely understand your desire to keep your bond a trade secret. Im not trying to be 'b!tchy" at all. I just want to be informed about a system and the products I put in my hair. Lord knows I surely dont always use/not use something based on whether its 'good' for my hair, but I at least like to know what it is that Im using. Considering that there are several companies out there that use the hype that their bond is not glue, not adhesive when in fact it is. Considering that they claim that their bond is 'safe' and 'natural' by calling it 'organic protein' when in fact its still glue, Im sure you could understand why some people may want more information on the bonding substance or have these questions. I appreciate that you have taken the time to answer so many questions here and on the other forums. I wish you much success with your system and products, the system definitely has some positives, like the easy removal...BIG PLUS! ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Hi Ladies, We are working with people on what about the
bond should, or could, be shared for the benefit of users, but until then, please be assured
the ingredients in the bond are either safe, non-toxic, natural, cosmetic grade
or all 4. There are no harsh chemical fumes, just a pleasant fresh scent we add,
and not to cover up anything, but because I love things that smell
good. If you have any reservations whatsoever about using a
product whose recipe a trade secret, I would suggest you wait until you have
confirmation from users that the product is not glue, nor carries any
indication of chemical additives. I am
unsure how companies get away with claiming “no adhesives” when in fact they
are using them, but I am a person who hates a lie and would not
choose to run my company as such. Please feel free to visit the site, http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair and e-mail us if you have any questions whatsoever. I know the system has aroused interest as well as skepticism, and I look forward to assisting you to discover why, or why not, this process might be for you. It’s very new, and difficult to reinvent something, but once you get the reality of the fact you can wear hair extensions long term, without damage or difficulty of removal, and for so little $$, you will be oh so pleased!

if i were you and i'd put that much work into this product i'd be smart enough not to blab to everyone the exact 'recipe' because then you'll find the 'veronica vault' and the 'sheila shimmy' being sold all over the place  ------------- lotta talkin 'bout hair n other stuff: http://www.diyextensions.net/ |

Here's my 2 cent review. I did the install last night. Here's what I have to compare...shrinkies, Monkey Barzz fusion, micro-links, Kristin's fusion chips, every kind of pro-tape, and liquid gold...I may have left something out. It's only been a day so I can't comment on longevity, but I LOVE the install. No stinky hot fusion glue burning off my prints with the glue-gun leaking all over the counter; None of those little metal links digging into my scalp (I don't know how people wear those) and folding over when I remove them; No acetone running down my face to remove the mistakes; No orange oil burning my skin; No fly-paper tape first sticking on my thumb and then the finger I use to remove it from my thumb. These feel good and right out of the package the hair was nice. We'll see how it wears. I'm impressed.

Whew! I'm glad to hear of these successful applications. There were issues that came up in the application of the system and I am working hard to correct them. Some mistakes that were being made were: Not getting even distribution of the bond on the extension hair, the bond needs to be stirred throughout the application. We then put it in BOLD on the instructions. Another was too large of bonds. We reduced the measurement of the amount of hair being dipped and added tips to "tap" your dipped extension hair on the side of the pot to "loose" any extra bond. Another girl was molding hers like you do with hot glue applications, but, nope, don't do it like that or you'll lose the bond! And that's about it, now if you hear of an error you'll know why! Hopefully that puts an end to the application issues and you love the system as much as I do! I wear mine for 6-8 weeks then remove them to do a foil. I don't know if this could go longer. It seems to me after 6 weeks I'm taking quite a few out that start to lose their hold. I wasn't really going for longevity. Probley not good for 12 weeks of wear, but someone is welcome to try it! ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |

| Here's an update...My first shampoo and nearly every bond flew out of my hair. It looked like baby snakes flying out of my head. I wroteTT to see what I did wrong...but I honestly thought I followed everything to the T. Some of the first bonds on the back bottom row are still in place so in fairness may it was a stirring issue...but I didn't ever notice any separating...and if it is that tempremental it isn't for me. There is a lot of waxy residue left...just no hair....and it isn't easily crumbing and brushing away. I guess it's back to acetone and sticky tape. |

Dehlin, I tried to get back to you right away and hope to speak to you soon. Although I had to ditch my company tonight, this sparked me to do an experiment with the fresh bonds in this mannequin head that is planning to swim this weekend. Here she is just after application of 1 row...  And after a wash and rinse, a few tugs and swings around the room.......  Her bonds are holding fine and right now she is still hanging by her bonds (40 minutes) so I can keep from going insane wondering what went wrong with yours. I wear and wash these things for 8 weeks at a time and lose just a few. It's perplexing, I used to do stir much less than I do now and without problems!? Let's be in touch and find a way to resolve. Just as a note, I believe the process takes practice. If I were using glue it would be easy, but then I'd get all those hair loss emails... I hope by my testimony (My guests have been swinging her by her hair for the last 30 minutes trying to keep me from flipping out!) and photos you know I'm not trying to sell you something without value or trying to waste your time. Once again I am so sorry this happened. I'm horrified to think you were getting ready for a Friday night date or something!! I'm sure I won't sleep... like ever!! ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |

Oh, and I have to mention. The removal is intended to be done after wearing for a while, not so easy if you're taking them out the next day. Once again, so sorry, everyone! I am certainly not out to disappoint anyone. I can only hope it will turn around somehow. There are a ton of hair extension systems out there and we all have one or 2 reasons why we use one and 1 or 2 reasons why we don't use others, but I think, Delin, you are really p-----ed off right now and I don't blame you! All that work down the drain because of a stirring issue... I don't even know what to say.... ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |

So I was turning this thing around in my head all night. It was disturbing me that if there was no seperation of the bond as you stated, Delin, this cannot be a stirring issue. Even when I stirred less in the past I never lost my extensions like that! The only time I lost extensions after a wash was in early test days. I was folding and forming them (like a glue method) as the stuff dried, but nope, this just didn't work. I then devoloped that "seeping" method. No problems since. And after a week or so, I play with my bonds all the time, folding in a bond I feel is "flat," or pinching and rolling the tops when the bond lets me. But this is long after they are dry. The only other thing I can come up with is something I read in the updated instructions this morning. They state, WAX setting or hotter is appropriate for your bond, any cooler and you won't create a secure bond. Now, you may have had this on the WAX setting, but if there are any variations in the heaters ability to maintain the temp, this may have been too cool. Possibly it was hot enough for the first bonds you were making (thus why those are still secure) but then cooled as you stirred and dipped the extensions and the heater needed to be turned up. I just spoke with a successful user this week (she let me know it took some practice) and she mentioned she needed to turn her heater quite high to reach the correct temp to get the "seeping" to happen. I turn mine up and down throughout application and didn't realize I was doing this by "instinct." I am determined to resolve these issues as best and quickly as I can so these things aren't happening. I so appreciate the boards and their ability to bring these issues to the surface. I am positive I would not have gained so much valuable information otherwise and this will definately benefit future users. ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |

delin, The same thing happened to me the first time I tried this system (although I only put in 1 row). I found out that the wax setting was too low & once I put the heater on the hottest setting, it worked after that. My bonds stay in very tight until I want them out.
I think any new system will be trial & error but I urge you to try again. If you like to do individuals, this system is really fantastic.

| OK; I got bucked off but got back on again this morning. This time I put the pot on the highest setting. The bonding agent was definitely more runny and they feel different so hopefully that was the issue...because everything else is great...including Tiffany (sorry if that isn't your name). To be on the same side I only did the sides and weft/protack the back. Great idea to do one row first...why didn't I think of that? |

Sorry you had a problem with the bonds, Delin... but thank you for sharing the "process" you've gone through with Tiffany to remedy it. I continue to be impressed by the sincerity of Tiffany's concern for her product and her customers. I think we're all experiencing a learning curve with this new method. Now we know now that the bonding agent needs to be heated quite a bit to make a good bond. Delin, keep us posted, okay?

Tiffany. I'd just like to applaud you. You sound exactly like me when I started out doing the hair extension installs. I was devasted if something went wrong and would lose sleep till it was rectified. But believe me, being the way you are with people, if there are problems you don't lie about it and blame it on other people, you do your best to sort it out and that speaks volumes. I am 100% sure that your business will do well with such an honest and good person running it x ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Ok ladies! We are on install #2 with the tembond (wore the first for 3 weeks then wanted to try a funky pink color mixed in). I can see these holding for at least six weeks with no probs :) Thanks for all the lovely compliments, I would gladly be a hairmodel for a lifetime supply of tembond in all colors of the rainbow for me and my clients! I have been bolder in my testing of the limits of the tembond, I have blowdried on warm and tugged at them quite a bit without incident. I plan on going swimming in them when DH and I visit L.A. next week. I use my little melting pot set to HOT until the entire tembond cake is melted and then I lower the setting to WAX to apply without too many drips. And yes, I KNOW you love the POOKS <3  |

Have you tried flat ironing or electric curling them? Could you do a little experiment on one or two and see how much of that kinda heat they can take?

Thanks, Amanda, for that, your post is very encouraging! It is also great to hear of another successful application. Love the colors, pooks! And your post confirms to me these heaters vary in their temperatures. I see now it's crucial to advise a bond "test" before doing a whole head! I also wanted to let you all know that, due to high demand, we have added a package with "Just the Basics" on, http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair/product.htm - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair/product.htm . This is just a heater, 1 or so applications of bond, and instructions for $69, nothing fancy here, just what you'll need to try the TemBond System if you are interested. (I believe this will be a limited time thing, but it should be up through the summer.) ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |

Hi all, Tiffany. I found your website about a week ago and was very intrigued by your product. Currently, I have great lengths extentions in and they have been in now since Feb!. That's coming up on 4 months. They need to be removed, however like just about everyone has complained.......my hair is a mess in the sense I feel I have a lot of breakage and damage from the regular extentions. ( I had them professionally done in a salon). I want something that WON'T damage my hair and I do take great care of my hair extentions. Do you ship to Canada Tiffany? I sure hope you do! Next question, how long should I wait after having my current extentions removed before starting putting in your system? Is there a general rule for a "break". I am concerned with breakage. Thanks , I hope to order soon. AvianArtist |

AvianArtist, Thanks for your questions, I'll be happy to help where I can. My product is quite interesting and different. Although I created it as sort of a "mock" of those higher cost bonding methods such as the ones you are wearing, it has surprised me that girls are preferring this method for so many reasons. I have never worn fusion or used glue myself because it just didn't seem right to me. I wore pinch braids fo a while but the cost and time was way too crazy. Since I created my own gentle, but secure, bond, and began to share it, the response is overwhelming from the girls who get it. They tell me how comfortable and lightweight this is compared to stick glue, nail glue, wefts, fusion... and the first time I read an e-mail from a girl who said I saved her $1000, I about fell off my chair...that is sooo much money! Anyway, I think I went off track there, it's been a loooong day :) Yes to Canada. About the extension "time out" (break doesn't seem like a good word when talking hair extensions...) I would get the hair out and see what's happening. See if your hair needs a bit of TLC, treatments, etc., then decide. See if your hair is breaking at all. My process is gentle and I've been wearing them straight for about 2 1/2 years just taking a day in between to really scrub my scalp, then I put them back in (the attachment point changes each time because my hair has grown out.) Possibly there are girls on this board who have worn your type of extensions and know if there is a general "break" rule and can help you with that. I don't worry about recommending that with my system, and many users seem to feel my process is as safe as I do, but I'm not sure if there is something you can, or should, do to stop any damage that may have been done with the system you are wearing? ANYONE?? (I know I've never been able to do anything to stop the breakage in my hair from bleaching...although I spend a lot of money trying...) Hope some of that helps and please let me know anytime you have more questions, I am happy to answer! ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |

I have a question  What is the shortest amount of time after installing that they can be removed? This would be, if someone would put them in and then for some reason decided they needed to take them out asap. Is there an amt of time they have to wait for the bonds to be able to be broken and crumbled? Also, have you considered trying to make your bonding stuff transparent instead of colored? Just curious  |

The bonds could be taken out at anytime although they get easier to crumble after a few washings and maybe a week or more of wear. If you had to remove them immediately after putting them in, a hot hairdryer would work well. Not really. I've worked long and hard to get the bond where it's at. Although I haven't considered changing anything at this point, it's a good idea if I ever have enough energy to start "dabbling" again :) ------------- Tiffany Twist DIY™ Tiffany Twist PRO™ http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair - http://www.tiffanytwist.com/hair http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com - http://www.tiffanytwistPRO.com |
