hey ladys

iam practiced in doing pinchbraid extensions for many years, but i always
had the luck having customers with hair in good conditions. but for a
while i have a customer with very fine / baby like hair. i already did her
some plastikhaar extensions (with pinchbraiding) that hold very fine, but
for humanhair i always used microrings on her hair, as iam not sure about
sliding out...

now shes in pregnant, and she can not war andy m.rings (she tolde me it
makes her just crazy to feel the rings... ) so i dicedet to use pinchbraid
HH for doing her wedding hair.

iam just wondering about the sizes of the braids. usualy i use about 0,7
-0,5 gr. HH (length about 20-18") for one strand, would it be ok when i
just use 0,2 or 0,3 gramm each strand or you think its not enough?
i tryed on my practicehead, and it seams like it works fine, but it has so
much better hair than my customer... so what do you think?

thanks f. y. help!

So basically, you mean smaller braids? that should be fine, as long as you do more braids to get as much hair on her head as possible. I've always found that the best way to use as much hair as possible is to do smaller and more numerous braids anyway.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the amount, though- I don't think in terms of weight when I section the strands, more in volume ("equal amounts of natural and extension hair in each braid" is usually my rule).
