The construction of many of these pieces do not allow you to seal them the same way you seal lace based pieces.. That said, if these pieces are well constructed there is no knot sealing needed. These pieces will have less shedding because of the density of the base material used. I have three silk based closures from Extensions Plus, and I have not needed to seal any of them..

All of these ethnic sources have hair which is not considered Grade A hair (despite what some vendors say to the contrary). 
....
 
OK...where can I get some of that Purple People Eater hair!!???LOL
 
No, but seriously, I love everything you said in this post DivaV. It's so spot on. I think a lot of people are falling for that cr*p about Chinese/Indian hair being worse or better than other types of hair. I hear so much said about Chinese hair used for BSS hair, but that doesn't mean it bad or cheap hair; I think it may just be more abundant.
Love clip-ins and tape!

Girl you didn't see when I posted pictures of my Purple People Eater install??? Think Barney meets Chaka Khan!LOLLOLLOL

Thanks girl.. I think that vendors do a horrible job of telling the truth about hair. Many are too busy trying to sell their product by putting down any alternative product. Instead of letting their product stand on it's own, they bolster their product by pointing out how crappy they think the other product is.. Too often many hair vendors use stereotypes and HALF truths to support their positions..

LOL

But these bases are much more realistic looking than a wig with a stocking cap attached to it.. I can lay my "doctored" lace closures next to my silk injected closures, and the differences are immediately apparent..

Please know that even tho http://www.yiweidu.com/ is doing the TRK's their quality in the past has been very poor as far as construction and hair quality, some units the hair fell out in 3 weeks bald spots and all and blamed it on our water, so know that.. they didn't always have the best feedback in that area.. and they built up their business and immediately went to 3 wig min.. now their trying to rebuild their business here in the US again, i hope its better than it has been but as of last summer not so hot.. maybe its better who knows, take a chance!

Happydesta: You're welcome..

Let me be clear.. the pictures and links I posted are meant ONLY to show what these units look like.. So many ladies have PMd me about pics of these units, so I took a Google trip and in ONE search located pictures from two vendors and an EBay auction.. I was less interested in WHO the vendor was, and mostly interested in the INFORMATION and PICTURES I could steal borrow to share with the forum.. They should help some of you who have asked to understand what these units look like and a little bit about how they are constructed.. As I find more info, I will post the information..

The thing is .... you need the invisable knots mostly AT your hair line and where your 'part' begins ... but these units have Swiss lace (as usual) at the hairline and then an inch back - they start with the invisable knots?
 
This makes no sense.
 
Besides that, I've found that the lighter the cap .. the better. If I have Swiss lace all over .. the unit is as light as a feather - but with the stretch panel .. it become substaintially heaver.
 
I wear my natural hair very short so the lfs are light weight in my head and are flushed to my scalp.... but if I had a substaintial amount of growth or were growing my hair out ... the mesh stretch units would be too bulky for me.
 
Just my thoughts. :)

That is only ONE of many variations on these units.. It's by no means the ONLY way they come.. You can in fact have them made with the invisible knots all the way to the hairline..

Divavocals you freakin ROCK!!! Thanks for the info & pics.
 
FYI - I have seen nomindstudio's hidden knots unit as it was sent to me in error when I last ordered from them via ebay. It was very nice but the color & texture were  wrong for me ( like a 6 mix & very straight hair). Was hard to send it back...
 
You & meangurl76  have gotten me hooked on silk caps now!
 
I've bought three in the past month or so.
