Post: Re: best way to remove glue from hp hair

I have found that soaking it for several hours, overnight if possible, in a bowl or container with De-Solvit or Goo-Gone is the only way to get most of it out. I don't like to do this too often. If it...

That should not be enough to matter, although density can vary. I've used thinning shears a bit here and there, mostly just worn them and natural shedding will thin it out over time.

If it is a new system, I'd suggest washing and styling a few times as often the curl will relax naturally. I've had systems that were all ringlets new, and became straight after wetting and styling. A...

I've had mixed results with curly hair, lately I've been wearing a short style with straighter hair. It does seem that remi hair can be stiff when permed, the regular processed hair worked better.

I'm not certain, but I think there were two different thicknesses of blue tape. Was this in contours, or on a roll? The roll that I got did not say "lace support" on it, the contours do.
