Hi!
If you got a bottle of LG that seems to be thinner than the usual texture, then you might have had a bad one. They thinned out their formula at some point, but then retweaked it again. Now it's totally fine.
When it was thinner, I had trouble with it too, although no where near as bad as what you describe.
I would just let the bottle air out for a day, when I was using the thinner LG, and then the texture would thicken by itself.
The bigger squeeze bottle is a different formula, purposedly more liquidy, a lot of women use it with tape as reinforcement, not as glue for tracks.
If your LG was a normal texture, then you could have had different issues:
Have you clarified your hair and more importantly the weft you installed?
I like Neutrogena anti residus shampoo, some women like liquid dishwasher, or baking soda.
Put a layer of LG on top + bottom of your weft. When you apply, keep the weft in place for a few seconds, then after you pull a layer of your own hair on top, make sure to blowdry for a few seconds. It really helps to set the bond.
I'm thinking that maybe you have some sort of sliding when you applied your weft, making the LG layer thiner and the bond weaker.
Think of applying a thicker line of LG, you might just need to use a bit more.
Then of course, be careful with conditioner, avoid putting it on your lg bond. Even though just a little bit of conditioner should NOT make your LG bond dissolve and should not make your weft fall just like that.
SO I doubt it's the conditioner that's at fault.
As for the shampoo, as a measure of precaution, I like to stick to clarifying shampoo or a shampoo that is not rich/mositurizing for the first couple shampooes after install.
You also want to wait 24 hours, if possible, between your time of install and your first shampoo as the bond is a tiny bit more vulnerable.
Bottom line is: LG is a really good product for bonding tracks, I wouldn't give up! ;-)
In case nothing helps, try supertape + LG.
Good luck!
