I recently got a call by a perspective client who wanted to come in for one of my free consultations. She advised me that she had glue in extensions and she really needs them out because the glue is like tar and nearly impossible to remove. I thought that it was not a problem, as I had taken out plenty of glue ins and it is just a matter if adding oil/cholesterol and loosing the bond and pulling the weft out.
When she arrived (we will call her Kelly) she was a pretty attractive girl with the most defeated look on her face. She told me that she had been wearing extensions for quite a while and thought that she should try to glue them in herself. She couldn't see the back of her head and had gotten glue in her hair. Kelly said that she had tried the oil soak and all and could not remove the glue from her head.
I let Kelly know that she might loose some hair in the process, but it can be done. So we set her appointment and prayed for the best!
The day of her appointment, Kelly showed up, I rolled up my sleeves and went to work. I saturated her entire head with cholesterol to help break down the glue residue and let her sit for about 20 mins. I then started with one little section in the back of her head and worked my way up with the oil sheen. The rattail comb that I used was the hero in all of this. It worked like a charm. I work up the length of each section until I could comb through with the rattail.
When I was done with the glue removal, I took her to the shampoo bowl and used Proclaim Super Bond Remover Shampoo and combed through her hair with the rattail comb. Still trying to remove all traces of residue from her hair. I then used a Clarifying Shampoo to help remove the oil and glue residue in her hair. Followed by Sexy Hair Soy Milk Conditioner as a surface conditioner. At the chair I put some light layers in the back of her hair to give some movement and body, blow dried and she was complete!
At the end Kelly endured quite an ordeal but was very relieved that she did not have to have the short hair cut that she was prepared to sport. She was even so grateful as to bring me a gift a few days later to show her gratitude for my patience and hard work. I absolutely love what I do and and take great joy in making my clients happy!
