I am going to be installing my own hair extensions soon. I've been wearing clip ins that I made myself for a few months, but I don't like the feel of the clips and installing every day is a pain. What kind of glue is the best for fine hair? I hear a lot about the LG method, but how hard is it to remove, and how much damage does it cause to your hair? I have also been considering the tape method, but from what I have heard it isn't as long lasting, and I would probably have to use glue with it anyway. Does anyone have any recommendations? |

I have an install of both right now, and it works great! I use tape and LG (the new kind) on the same weft. ------------- ^..^ |

I use both too, it works great. I have a layer of tape and then LG the weft above it, repeat! It holds wonderfully and I don't have a problem with the tapes slipping at all, they are very secure after several washes.

I would recommed the liquid gold weft bond system. lasts ages with alittle maintainence, to remove you must use liquid gold bond dissolver. Nothing else will remove this glue. ------------- Enchanted Locks Kent's Hair Extensions & Wig Specialists! http://www.enchantedlocks.com/ |

Well...that's not exactly true! You can use 100% acetone and it comes off well. I also use Goo Gone to get it out along with 99% alcohol and olive oil. ------------- Love clip-ins and tape! |

The goo gone "Gel" removes LG like a DREAM! Tape too :D Much better than the regular goo-gone, IMO.
