For anyone who is interested. I have updated the weft bonding 'sandwich' method demo, with pictures. I should have added that Im at just over 4 weeks with my current LG/weft install and the bonds are as secure as day 1.

That is so cool! And to remove? Just use residue remover until it loosens?

Ok, so after you apply the weft to the sectioned hair, you then take a section of hair and glue it cross wise over the ends of the weft to secure it.  Then pull a thin layer down and glue that on top???

It looks great!!! 

Ohh..............And I also want flat abs like yours!!!

yep...this was LG glue so yes Ill use the LG remover/mineral oil, and possibly a little acetone on the stubborn spots, if there are any. And I will probably try some of the citrus remover that amm sells, to see how well it works on this.

Thanks...Another question...sorry. How many of these wefts do you put in? After the sandwiched layer is glued down do you immediately place glue on that layer for another new weft or pull down more hair?

I have very fine, thin hair and the shrinkies I just installed although great and easy to apply are really piecey. I'm sure partly because of my sections being too large and tips too big but this weft method seems great for a natural un-piecey look for someone with short hair like me. What do you think?

Pull down more hair and section another row. Dont glue one row on top of the other. I sort of use my index finger as a guide, I make my next part about a fingers width above the last row. If you dont leave a little space youll end up with your rows glued together and thats bulky, and uncomfortable.

I have 4 rows from nape of the neck to ear level.

Then 2 rows over the ear all the way around.(from hairline to hairline)

The very top row I do a short row above the ears from hairline to just past ears) but doesnt go completely around the head.

So 7 rows total

But that amount will be different for everyone. 7 rows is what works and fits on my head!

Yes wefts do elinimate most of that piecy look. But also smaller sections and more extension hair will eliminate some of the 'pieciness' problem with strand methods.

Looks great, I have found that with strand by strand if you start from the top and work your way down it eliminates the piecyness.

fyi I know my spelling sux!

Hi there Sherrie, do you do the pull over from each side for each weft even the top row?  Also do you use hand tied hair xx

Thanks Sherrie! I'm thinking of keeping some wefts around for their ease if installation. I tried the sandwitch thang last time, but with the LG found that I end up using half the bottle just doing it the regular way, and I know that's not right! How do you go about getting a thin bit of it out of the bottle? I love the stuff, but it's so thick. Not so crazy about that brush applicator either. I ended up with the hair glued to my scalp for weeks, lol! Love the way I can wash my scalp half properly with shrinkies.

I have just taken my wefts out with no problem, I have used the proclaim shampoo remover to shampoo the wefts while stood under the shower.  I then put loads of conditioner on and they just simply fell away, I rinsed again then put more conditioner on and combed through my own hair with a small tooth comb to get all the residue out and hey presto my hair is clean free of residue full process took 30 minutes.

No just the normal way but am going to try this sandwich way next time I install.  It looks really easy once you see the pictures and its explained really well. 

I never have a problem taking out the wefts at all.

I always use more than one small bottle of LG doing the sandwich method. I use the small bottles because it gets thick so fast and I have less waste with the small bottles. So I always keep several bottles on hand. I usually go through one full bottle and part of another one. (I think) My next install will be another weft install and Ill pay attention to exactly how much I use!

Amanda, yes even on the top row! No Ive never used hand ties wefts. Sometime I want to try them!

Cool, so I'm not a glue slopping maniac. I thought I was just messy clumsy.

Have you given any more thought to installing wefts vertically instead of horizontially? Who was it that mentioned that? I'm still intrigued. Have had the idea in my head for a while to appy them in smaller sections at a 45 degree angle to make pulling them back more comfortable, since I wear my hair back in a pony more than half the time. I'm interested in any novel application layouts.

Oh, I wear a ponytail all the time also!!!

Also, does the hair seem to stick to your scalp for a while until it loosens?  That would make it uncomfortable to wear your hair up also. Oh, so many questions!!!  Maybe it is a good idea that my LG has not arrived yet, because I was all ready to install the sandwich method. But now...............???????
