Review (4/5): Firm Tree Sap LikevHold But Very Sticky Messy
I have used this before in the past. I used to buy it at my local beauty supply store the owner recommended it to me once and that’s how i was introduced to it but it was in a bottle with a brush. I have used this tube before and it’s really really messy and sticky with the brush too. However, it does give a good hold and will rip your hair out of your head when it comes time to take it out without proper removal treatment. It dries up hard like beeswax or tree sap. It’s about the same color too so that’s what it reminds me of. It does have a chemical smell but goes away with time. It can and will slightly burn the scalp/skin if it is already irritated and maybe even when it’s not irritated but the burning feeling is quick and goes away once applied for 3 minutes or longer. It’s not a unbearable burning sensation but can be annoying. I have considered that as a slight side effect and the firm longer hold on my tracks outweighs the burning side effects. It is my favorite extension hair glue but you will suffer some hair loss when taking your hair out, the benefits, again outweigh the risks and side effects in my opinion which is why I continue to use it. However, i do not use it every time i wear tracks. I only use it when i need the extra hold or want my extensions to hold up for longer. I don’t remember how well it stands up to moisture and water but it does well with perspiration which is totally different compared to dumping a bucket of water on your head, dip in the pool or washing your hair in the shower or something like that. I’m considering using it again now because I really don’t feel like going through the process of finding someone to sew in my extensions and I don’t feel like sitting in a chair for hours getting it sewn in. The only time i sew in or consider using this stuff is only when i get a wavy or curly weave that i will need to keep wet and use a bunch of wet styling products in it. If my memory is correct, i think it might have done well with water and wet hair. I’m just not 100% certain. It was a long time since I last used this stuff. You might want to get 2 tubes because of the amount of stickiness and how messy it is, you will get a lot of it wasted while using it.
