Ok, here's the hair.

The attachments are smaller, just because they are. It isn't necessarily using LESS hair, just making smaller more abundant connections. It takes longer to do but the end result is fuller and not as "piecey".

s there something about the loop/seal itself that makes it smaller? Are the boxbraids themselves allowed to be shorter because the seal gives it extra security?

Pinchbraids are entire strands of the persons hair and entire strands of added hair. The way I do it, I have synth and the clients hair incorporated into each strand of the braid in even amounts. (I don't do boxbraids)
The braids are shorter because there is less hair that has to be braided to make enough turns to make a good connection.

Heat Seals? How do you do that?

You look beautiful and your hair looks very natural. Do you have pinch braids?

Looks awesome, I think the red was really pretty but the blonde looks so natural!

Wow that looks fab....and ur hair looks in remarkably good condition after using high lift tint-and the blonde came out well, what's your secret?. I love the extensions they look so natural...luv it!!!

Boogiemama,

You use Prostyles, right? Does it stay in the hair well? I'm set up to take the class in April?

On your website, it says that you sometimes use spirit gum for extra security. Where / how are you applying that?

I'm very tempted to come up there and have you do my hair. My husbands parents live in Mount Vernon, so we could visit them and get my hair done!

Thanks!

so natural! that is a thing of beauty! thanks for posting - the thing that is fascinating to me is that the "layers" are pretty inconspicuous and blended ...i guess that is part of the secret!

Oooo, so pretty. It's amazing how tiny those seals at your ears are! Do you really do heat-seals on -yourself-? With no burns?

Well, I suppose it would depend on how many applications you have on there, if it is over bleach and if you sat under heat to set it.
But definitely try it, it does work.

My red was over lightened but not bleached hair, no dryer and just one app.

We are off topic, am I going to be yelled at?
haha.

No! No bleach! It's amazing.. I used Colorly SSG, it was way too gold so I went over it with SSB.
Hi lift tint, 40 vol. first time, 20 vol the second time.
That red comes RIGHT out. It's kind of an unknown secret. Good that I didn't sit with the SFX under a dryer this time so it was easier.
When I had fuchsia pink hair, it took forever to get rid of and I had salmon ends.
