Review: Why I Hate The Esha Absolute Lace Glue!

actiionjaackson: if you are coming to write something negative, save it. Everyone makes mistakes, but all the rude comments are unnecessary. I tried the glue again in my latest video and I got better results! thanks for watching.

Kiara Steel: I’m just gone tell you. I used this stuff and went to a football game last month. It was 100 degrees in Mississippi, EXTREMELY HUMID. It did not move, flake, NOTHING. My makeup of course slid tf off bc of sweat, but my hair was perfect. Everyone else around me had wigs sliding back and white around the hairline but I was GOOD baby. I’m sorry you had a bad experience.

Ciara B: I just bought this..and this stuff WORKS!! You never showed yourself cleaning your hairline w/ 91% alcohol this time. Maybe that’s why it didn’t hold for you. I only used Bold Hold glue and tape. Not anymore. So ladies still try out the product. Get the small one and see if it works for you.

Fmm: When you use this glue let it air dry! Do not cover it, do not use scarf

Blended Bunch: Girl u didn’t allow the glue to dry, it was still white when you applied the wig... it’s actually a really good glue

cee pee: Thank you for sharing your experience with this product with your viewers. Reading the comments I must say I have never read so many "mean girl" comments for a video. Continue doing what you do. Strive to grow in knowledge and developing your skills. Thanks again.

SAN PERRY: I'm glad you tried it again. I recently started using it a few weeks ago, and am VERY happy. I clean my skin with alcohol, apply skin protector, [liquid skin] then I apply with a brush from temple to temple, let dry, then add tape, then add 2 thin layers of the glue, and when it dries in about 30 seconds and is clear, I then put the wig on. My experience is very good; I wear my wigs up to a week at a time, and so far this glue works for me. Before that I used Vapon glue, but found it messy to work with, and it didn't hold as well as I would like. Everyone is different; it could be your body chemistry doesn't interact well with the glue. I had that experience with a couple of glues.

sunny m: First off, I appreciate your honesty about this glue. You have steered me away from a glue that has drying and adhering issues. I rather use a glue with a good hold that works. I work on the water front where it’s windy, I definitely don’t need my masterpiece slipping, lifting or blowing off my head. I give you major credit because you tried. I think you did a good job and your hair is bomb. Keep up the good work. I will definitely will be watching your video because you were honest and newbies like me watch to learn.

samantha lang: hi there! ive been experimenting heavily with this glue and what ive noticed is that 1. the skin should be cleaned with the STRONGEST alcohol you can, you want that spot dry af,. 2. you really want to smooth out the glue flat/thin before you let it dry - using two coats, ive never used one. 3. less is more! the whiteness and etc could be from using too much at once or from not letting it dry enough but patience is required with both steps so make sure you put on a thin amount for the first coat, REALLY let it dry then do the same for the second and again REALLY REALLLY let it dry. 4. if you mess up and you're in a sticky mess ive found bio oil and alcohol help me get the glue right off, especially the bio oil . even if it's stuck in the hair or my hair it comes right on out.

Yaddibear: You know what when I first seen this video i was like “girl let it dry first” but then I tried it, I wipes my forehead with alcohol i put 2 thin layers, let it dry, and its still VERY tacky and sloooowly slides back, I’ve been testing it everyday for a week. Idk if its our skin type or the product but the sponsored videos people made really fooled me

Timeless Beauty: I felt I was the only one who had problems with it. I cleaned my hairline with 91% alcohol set it with a scarf overnight and had to wear my hair over bc it lifted. My wig was sliding and it was white also. I tried cleaning it and my wig was sliding throughout the day. I purchased the remover and I have glue pebbles everywhere it’s really sticky. I’m glad it worked for others but not for me either!

Chasity Lillielouise: THANK YOU, SWEAR THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. I tried 15 times with correct application-cleaned my forehead with alcohol did layers and everything. The product works for me for only 48 hours IF even that. It gets sticky and slides. It leaves a shine and the remover does not work for me... I used alcohol & a toothbrush. I didn’t get the white reaction but it definitely didn’t hold and it’s a messy removal process because it’s ridiculously sticky. I will admit I love that it’s not on my lace when it comes off but that’s all. I’m still using it to give it a chance but is been a month.

LadyD: I completely understand because the first time I tried the esha fusion collection the wigs lace was horrible. But I realized the glue has to air dry until you see no white residue, can’t have any oil etc. Honestly it can be done in 15 mins without doing anything extra. I love it and it’s easy to secure. Last me at least 4 days but I’m sure it would last longer if it wasn’t so hot. And again I had the fusion version which is water resistant not water proof. But I get where you’re coming from. The first time I was really impatient and was going to go back to the hair store to get my money back.

Tierra Zanne: Girl !!!! I’ve been using this glue for the past couple weeks & I will say it does hold very well BUT I definitely have experienced it still being white for a looooong time & yes it’s super sticky !! It so aggravating. It’s like it never completely dries

PianosOnTheBeach Keys: This glue made my wig slide back. I tried it twice and it didn’t work. The glue just never dries. Even with a thin layer….it’s like it just never dries. I tried wrapping it and letting it dry for hours and it still was wet. I’m glad it’s not just me. Thanks for keeping it real. ‍♀️

DevotedToYou: By the way, I like your honesty and the fact you were not sponsored. Its refreshing!

Adelinn Mayberry: Hi Actionjackson, I had to come back and tell you that you did an awesome job making that wig. The style of the wig is so natural. You should sell them. Thanks again. Have a great day!

God's Daughter: I used it and I have rave reviews, I used 2 to 3 layers and let it turn clear and it stuck better than anything I've ever used! My units stay on a whole month...I don't use foundation but powder to tint my caps. Foundation is TOO OILY so it causes my units to lift prematurely. I don't like this review I'm sorry this product is phenomenal and it doesn't take nearly as much as you use a little goes a long way

DW Trussell: Thank you for being so honest, sis you are so right that glue is trash... had the same experience

NolaBlu: I'm glad someone made a review like this. I had the same problem. However mind did dry but I had the problem with the white flaky looking stuff. And it doesn't hold on the sides for some odd reason. But yeah you can just simply use got2b glued I recently discovered that go figure! Thanks for your review

Nessaorwhatever: I’ve tried this glue as well the first night I applied it cleaned my skin and all and my lace was sliding back. So all these negative comments on you not applying it correctly etc is unnecessary ppl act like it’s impossible for something to not work for others

Melissa Lewis: I’m sticking with my ghostbond glue I’ll spend my money if it works. Ghostbond is only one that works for me especially in the summer weather. I’ve tried all the different glues gels and sprays etc... Everything doesn’t work for everyone.

Just Mell: Girl, im so happy I came across your video, because I used that lace wig glue to and I don’t like it. It doesn’t hold and it comes off with water. It’s suppose to be water resistant‍♀️. I thought I was the only one who after using the glue think it is a waste of money, it doesn’t work

Rhonda Thornton: Sorry you had so much trouble but this glue worked wonders for meI actually let it get a little tacky before applying my wig and then blow dry. I also use this glue for the illusion part when I do the quick weave, bald cap method. I have Bold Hold and Ghost Bond neither worked as good as this product. Everyone’s skin and scalp are different but you are appreciated for sharing Sis❤️❤️

Adaku Anyanwu: I experienced the same thing even though my skin was clean and I let the glue dry to clear. It's sticky and doesn't dry well. The hold feels tight, but it's sticky

Anzata Davis: I had the same issue and yes I did clean my hair line with alcohol. I tired it 3 times and it was horrible.

Vanessa Bella Beauty: I have this glue and I have a love hate relationship with it. It actually does hold the lace down nice and tight, but it’s really clear so it looks a mess. Some parts are still sticky and I applied it the night before. I’ve done it twice now and still can’t figure it out. I’m going to give it a third try and hopefully I don’t look a fool again. More than anything it’s just super sticky and hard to get off. Good thing you can return it to amazon.

Virgo Vette: I don’t like this glue either. It’s too sticky, never fully dries and the clean up is so messy. It took me forever to remove it from my lace and from my skin. I’ll stick to my bold hold.

Ciara Latricé: New subbie, girlllll I just did my lace front yesterday wit the Esha glue and I hated it kept lifting and wasn’t trying to dry.!!! We had the same problem Imma head to the hair store to get me some bold hold

Elise West: Hey did you find that even after you applied the Absolute properly it still felt kinda sticky ? I went by the book and did everything Right yet even so called dry it always felt tacky and sticky .I wore it for 4 days and then used the remover which was hell and made me cough it smelt so strong .It left sticky stuff all around my forehead and the lace in the front of my wig .I,m not to impressed with the remover .Did u have any issues like that

Aaliyah Nicole: FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GOT THE SAME REACTION AS ME! this does not work! It turns the wig white on the inside

Stephanie Banks-Toole: I like your sincerity regarding the experience you had with the product. It helps a great deal with learning. I appreciate the information.. I've already began investing i n some of the product 's you mentioned and your video was very helpful. Now I am interested in purchasing the proper lace wigs.I truly do not want to use the one ''s I have purchased.. I will continue to watch and build up my conferences to understanding the brand and continue to watch and learn so I become proficient you and a few of the other young ladies with you leading the tutorial 's. Thanks for your comment.. Stef.

Kay A: THANK YOU!!!! This glue is utter trash it doesn’t last and leaves such a sticky residue no matter how much alcohol and I use 91% !!

Eileen Reinnagel: Nah girl that always happens to me too no matter what it never dries it never sticks to my head and idk if it is consumers fault or just the glue itself. I switched to walker tape just to test something else and it’s great. The only upside to esha is that it like clogs the grids. I can’t melt it, my scarf and du-rag is ruined cuz of this glue. And most of my frontals are ruined because the glue is so sticky that I can’t get it out. Idk, I’m glad I’m not the only one with this problem though.

Cassie: Yeah I was gonna say there's oil in our foundations which is a counter active for the glue so that would be a reason it didn't stick. But I see your comment where you said you retried it and it worked for you so that's good to hear.! I plan on getting the Esha absolute. Thanks for the video!

Brianna-Gwenn Martis: I used this glue and it stayed on the entire day. It turned white when i sweated but then it dried clear again. At night when i was using a wipe to wipe off my makeup around my forehead my lace lifted because of the babywipes and i could rub the glue off with the wipes‍♀️

Mariah DaQueen: @actiionjaackson I agree girl ...cause it didn’t work for me either it kept being white and the glue wasn’t sticking and i even applied two layers of this glue for it to stick and the next 15 min. It started lifting and my wig started sliding back ig you’re not alone for this rip off Glue and it doesn’t even work for sweat proof either cause when I was working out yesterday my wig was sliding as I sweating from a workout

Tachani Q.: THANK YOU!!!! I thought I was going crazyyy or doing something wrong bc this glue was so sticky and just would not work for me!! So happy I’m not the only one!

Bee Kay: I’m a faithful Bold Hold user. However, I LOVE Esha now. To be honest, I think you are using too much. I know it doesn’t seem like it but I think that’s it. I use super thin layers (2) My wigs don’t move and no white. Hope it works out for ya. If not there’s always Bold Hold

mschiera: No I used this glue as well and it did the same thing. I've cleaned arrive the area and everything and it's still a fail. I even worked out and sweated hard and it immediately (my wig) started lifting. Not only that it irritated my skin, I just continue using my good ol gots to be glued

Morgan: girl, that glue does not work. i’ve tried it, too. it’s holds my hair a minimum of 2 days. after that, it’s done. i get the same sticky mess around the hairline. my skin is extremely oily and i sweat. it’s dead lol... and i clean my hairline by washing my face and then cleaning it with alcohol. the shit still does not last. the walker’s lace tape is the only thing that has a very long hold.. lasts 1-2 weeks

K Marshall: I tried this product for two months the pro the adhesive strength was great lasted two weeks and melted into my skin. con the consistent stickiness it was very irritating therefore I will be going back to bold hold.

Dejia Tohara: The glue work well on the top because you put small amounts, on the sides you got heavier and you can’t apply the wig until it’s clear. It does take longer to clear if it’s placed without drying.

Becky Dubose: This glue doesn't work for me either, it slides back on day two the sides lift up. Bold hold last much longer

The Samantha Edit: Jesus, why are so many people coming for this girl like they made the glue themselves? Good grief, this lace wig thing is a learning process for EVERYONE. And not everything that works for you will work for the next person. Some of y'all need to chill.

Brittany Chanel: The reason why you didn’t like the turn out is from applying the lace prematurely you should wait until it dries clear before applying I know this from trial and error and messing up so many laces unfortunately because I have a heavy hand but for us ladies that sweat a lot this glue does help. Plus another trick of mine is mixing lace glue products and applying them but please apply skin protectant before! Also one more thing when you apply the makeup before the glue it makes it tacky and flaky if u want maximum transparency of the lace bleach it with 40 or above and then apply concealer to exposed areas! I promise I will upload videos in the future to coincide with what I’m saying

DevotedToYou: It's not a terrible product but they do need to improve it. I went back to using Got2B because that worked better for me than this glue. The glue is really gooey and my lace lifted up. In fact, one time, I did not have to use the remover because the wig slid right off!!!! Another time, it stayed on pretty good. Again, not a bad product, just not the "holy grail" of glue for lace...yet. I bet they are still working on their formula and we will be hearing about a new and improved version soon.

Beauty Hive: Thank you for the honest review!!! Cause I love bold hold but want to try something new... Nevermind lol

Star Seed77: You need to let it dry before tieing down , try sitting under a dryer It's supposed to be white to attach then let it dry and clean hairline

Janet Gabriel: The glue works if you clean your skin first and no, do not put scarf on it. You only need a thin layer that turns from blue/green to colourless.

Dia J XO: Yeah sis this is a no for a lot of us. Idk if we got some from the bad batch but this crap doesn’t even get tacky for me. I tried it on my hand and everything it’s just a NO lol

K Martin: Never tried the Esha glue but I have the same problems with Bold Hold.

Aretha Hill: It's a 50/50 for me due the clean up is a pain. But the absolute does hold but again the clean up and I have the remover too which works wonderful.

Luciana S: this wig is gorgeous, and your skin is so beautiful and radiant UGHH

Mocha S: Was just gonna buy this. Thx for the review gorgeous

It's My Life Daralynn: You didn't allow it to air dry. You put a scarf on it ( Looks like) immediately . It works, I bought it for someone .

Kim Lucas: I plan on trying this brand but just from what I see...I think you should of tried a powder foundation vs a cream and also you should of let the glue dry and get tacky and maybe add another layer and let it dry fully...then attach the wig and put your scarf on once its completely dry!

Galaxy Cash 🚀💰: I honestly don’t thing the glue was done drying. You can see it didn’t dry clear before you applied the wig.

Wilhelmina Mends-Cole: I think you were supposed to let it air dry. The oils from your scarf may have caused the white residue. Also cleaning the air with alcohol may have helped.

Star of Wonder: You can take it off easily with 91% alcohol. I think it didn't work for you because of the compounds of your makeup and the contains of the glue. You should try it again without any makeup.

Khaalis: I thought i was going nuts, I followed all the directions to a T and tried it several times,, did not hold extremely sticky and gummy, couldnt even get it off the lace to salvage the wig , had to throw the whole wig away.. this glue simply didn’t work for me .

Susie Ausberry: Thank you , everyone makes mistakes. I just got mine. Im going to use use it . I appreciate your video

Glam Adela: I used the waterproof version. I was inlove with by I knew I did some wrong on my side and back I put way too much foundation on my sides and my back was too long on my neck and it didn't cut it. The one I got which is waterproof. It's work just have to do it right it's the removed wig for me. I got the remover spray and it kilit my nails to the point my nails pop off day two.itdnhard to get out of your her edges even applying the remover spray

Positive Vibes: Use BMB lace glue and keep it moving, I love the put on clear glue no white u got to wait to dry... thanks for the review

savage: I do have the same problem ! It last like only 24h and then it’s start sliding back and left a stick line where the lace was on before. And it starts getting crusty and sticky and don’t look even nice anymore after a day. Hahah I’m from Germany and had to pay high tax to get this glue. I’m so obsessed with it Because I saw so many good reviews on YouTube too i have pretty Oily skin maybe that’s a reason why it don’t work for me ? Before I apply it I clean my skin with Alkohol. Haha happy to see that im not the only one with this Problem

Kianna Sade: For me the glue stayed sticky forever! I’ve cleaned my hairline with alcohol and everything but no matter what my wig still moves and slides back. I’ve watched so many videos and gave it 5+ chances and it still doesn’t work for me

S L: Yeah I wasn’t impressed with this glue at all. Cleaned hairline and there was still white residue after wig was set in places and dried.smh

💜Uplifting The Aborigines 💜: I thought it was just me ! I dont even sweat that much and it lifts up !! ‍♀️

River Moon: This glue works...first clean your hairline with alcohol then you have to put a thin layer and let the glue fully dry before you put on your wig and dont tie it up at all for several hours...I did my wig in the morning and tied it up at night.

Jasmine Ladson: Don’t worry just try it again 2nd time is always a charm ❤️

Ann74 Alston: I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I'm gone try this Esha Absolute Glue and see IF it works out for me. But either way You did an AWESOME JOB showing us all how this glue May or May not work for everybody. As they saying goes Different Strokes for Different Folks.

Tiff Tyme: This the best glue I ever used ... you have to wait until it dries clear

I'm Baby: I don’t get this glue. Everyone says it dries fast but literally nothing I do gets it to dry. It stays tacky - even overnight!! It NEVER dries!! It’s crazy! I think this glue is a nightmare.

NittyTv: Why don’t you get the dark brown bald wig cap? Also another tip that may be helpful is put a dot in the middle and glide down for thin layer and keep doing it until both sides are done and wait until glue is clear to apply lace

MyLovelyRoots: Girl that wig had me going damn! excellent customized wig

Sleepy Natali: The reason it wasn’t on the lace is bc of how you tried to lay the lace with the extra still on it

ARI: Same for me!! I cant get esha to stay and it get goopy and nasty.. aslo hard to remove from my forhead and side burns

Stephanie: The glue brand has its own remover

They Call Me Z: You didn’t use a wide enough layer, hun. Always Let it turn clear before you put the lace on it.

Jxo: Don’t worry I’m having the same issue and I can not get this glue to stick to my head!! It will lay down and pocket and come up!! Or just come up completely

Queen: Most people wipe there lining with alcohol, then put the glue on , then blow dry it , so it could last longer.

Cassandra Jarvie: Mine did the same thing! I really wanted to to work. Especially on one side more then the other it just kept sliding back. And even when I slept with my wrap on, it slid back !! My got 2 b didn’t even do that !! So upsetting

Kemnede Wu: I didn’t have a good experience either it never dried down. It only held in certain same spots

StormiNyte: I think you should try it again. The biggest mistake you made was not letting it dry/clear. That part is crucial when applying your wig

Adriana Lewis: The firs layer didnt dry completely Suppoed to place it onskin and wipe of the excess with rubbing alcohol

All 45: Awww, you seem so frustrated. I think the problem was the make up, not cleaning plus not letting it get tacky before applying. I hope it worked out for you.

MsDollist: Girl my wig slipped back the same damn day not even 4 hours later smh

Christie Rivera: It did not work for me either!! I had to re-apply every 3 days.

Stephany J: I'm a newbie when it comes to frontals. Which one do you recommend that is easier?? I was JUST about to buy this.

nakisha fowlkes: Did you use an oil based makeup? The results may be the glues reaction when mixed with the oil in the makeup. As an experiment try it with a water based makeup.

lilian jørgensen: Thank you for your honesty

Trelinda Estes: I cleaned my hairline with alcohol and this stuff still didn't work. The top part was ok but the sides lifted and then turned white. I tried it a few different times with the same results.

Doreena Rinaldi: I started to buy it but after reading the reviews I changed my mind. Thx a bunch

Zee: I did my hair 2 week ago and my closure still holding on it

The Real Passeionn: This same thing happend to me the very front was laid and the rest was just sticky

Leslie’s PlayHouse: Okay so I’m a new subscriber and I also seen glamazontay use this on her new video and you weren’t supposed to blow dry it AT ALL your supposed to leave it wet....I never used it so I wouldn’t know but hers didn’t lift or shift or ANYTHING

StarSoul_7: When you first put it on, you are supposed to hold it in place for 1 minute. You didnt do that. I made that mistake too the first time and I was so upset. T oday I'm retying this will let you know the outcome.

Tiffany Ellick: Same !! It didn’t work for me either smh it was super sticky

Samantha Chukwura: I tried this glue and it really did hold. I hate it because to remove it, it's like impossible. My wig is ruined because it's just sticky and not even alcohol worked. So if someone know a trick, please let me know

Yo ugly Child: My glue stayed sticky all day. Idk what I did wrong
