Where can I get the netting to make a hair extension like the one Jessica Simpson sells. It is sort of a diamond shape net that you put the extensions on. Or if anyone has ideas on how to make something like that out of certain materials please let me know. DEBBIE

Yeah, I agree with Metalgirl. You'll see a lot of great supplies on that site. You could use a full weaving CAP, sew the hair wefts onto it and then cut it in half for a half-wig like Jessica's piece. I have done that and it works great! You can even buy a full wig and cut it in half and use the bottom to clip in to your hair; you just cut it to your head measurement specifications.
Love clip-ins and tape!

I think His & Her's even sells an integration base which you could use for the same purpose..

Diva, that's a great idea. Do you think it would work with wefted hair horizontally placed on the intergration base? I wonder if the hair would be too heavy for the netting?
