weft bonding newbie questions

Hello everyone!! Iam new to this forum but have been wearing extensions for over 10 years.

I am switching to weft bonding after years of damage with the individuals.

I know alot of you do the installs yourselves, but I know Iam not that cordindated and was wondering what the average cost is to get this done??

Also, can you do them with just the LG or do you have to use tape?

Does the glue go directly on the weft and your own hair or just the weft??

Iam sure I will have many more questions and appreciate your help!

Thanks Sherrie!

So, does the weft go around the entrie head?? If so, what do you do about the sides of hair- fringes and bangs??

Do you need to do alot of rows to create thickness? I have the bohyme machine tied??

Is acetone bad for removal and damaging to your own hair??

Thanks!

some people do rows that run from temple to temple (leaving a half inch to an inch for hairline to cover) and from ear to ear ( at the back, from ear level down, same thing leaving 1/2 inch or so from hairlines)

Others prefer to work in smaller sections. You can do back and sides in smaller sections, shorter pieces. And it may be easier in the beginning.

Usually your crown and bangs area are left free of extensions, unless you are braiding up your hair so non of your natural hair is left out.

I prefer doing one long piece for each row. I find the less edges, the less lifting (the ends are usuallythe first places that may come loose)

How much hair, how many rows, depends on the thickness of your own hair, how much volume you want to achieve and how long you are extending to.

Acetone gets alot of varying opinions. My personal thoughts are that the acetone isnt on the hair that long and it evaporates quickly. Yes it may be drying. I prefer acetone as it works quick for me and removal is very effortless, whereas some other removers work too slow, dont work as well and I find myself not being patient enough and pulling more than I should, and I find that more damaging.

Thanks Sherrie! The demo was really helpful!!

I also like hair closer to the top as I have really short pieces and want them as covered as possible.

If I wear a side part and not center, do I still place the wefts that high up on both sides of side part? I like the idea to cover the top and give a fuller bang! Thanks again!
