In anguish over my latest microring damage, I dug out the clip-ins. Then I thought, "I have Pro-Flex!" I went to my hair vault and found some wefts of nice remy and went to work. Within 2 hours I had a full *scrumptious* head of hair. This stuff is so easy and I can't even feel it. My camera is dead in the water but I did get some taken while I prepped the hair. So here's to all who wonder what Pro-Flex is and how it works. It's available here here if anyone is interested and it's the $2 Blue Pro-Flex Strips.

First, I get me my strip and I hold it up to the lowest install point on my head and I measure the length I need. I make my cut and lay it flat...



I snip my weft same length as the Pro-Flex and pull back the white adhesive cover on one side and lay the weft down and press...



I then pull the top white adhesive cover off and then fold the top half over the bottom half...



Lifting the top half up carefully, the Pro-Flex adhesive will be affixed to the top part of the weft and the lower half is covering the other side of the weft...



Here's a close up of how clear the adhesive is...




That's all the photos I took and that camera went dead. I got my other camera out and now it's too dead to upload the pics I took when I applied it. I used sherrie's sandwich technique.

This is *so* comfortable. It kind of itched at first and felt like I had a wig on but after about 6 hours I am loving it. It feels very secure.

I am off to Las Vegas with my new head.

Thank you Pro-Flex!

In fact no its not, that's how I did it first but then found an easier way to apply it to the weft Amm.  You know the blue side, I peeled that off first which left the two pieces of the white stuff then I turned them over to expose the adhesive pressed down the weft up to the middle of them and then folded them over, peeled the first strip off, pressed it on the client's head and then peeled the second white half off.  I was able to see a lot better where I was sticking it rather than leaving the blue on x Its loads easier x

Something I dont understand....

After you attach the weft to the hair, is the tape on the outer side exposed? Are you then placing(really sticking) the client's hair on top of the tape?

How do you then remove safely? With the citris remover?

P.S. I am patiently trying to install my shrinkies but my lg never arrived.  I now need an in-between process and Im sick off my clip-ons.

Thanks for posting those pics Amm. I just received my order of Pro-flex strips. I'm so excited about the great feedback Amanda is giving us about her customer. I can't wait to try them out.

Im confused about the proflex too. Why do you have the sticky stuff on both sides? I understand it on one side but why the other?  I was fiddling around today with some to see it stuck in hair and I had no luck with it.  Is it just like 2sided tape or is there some trick to it?

I did see that video and Im still confused. They said they had 2 different types of strips didn't they?  I thought they said "protein strip" but Im not 100% sure, I couldn't really hear it right.

Do I just put 2 strips of the proflex on top of each other? One on my head then one on the hair facing each other?  I sort of thought that the reason the tress thing worked was because their were two different types of adhesives doing something.

Will you lose any hair taking these out? Is it easier on the hair then using latex glues?  Im just so scared of glues and adhesives.

They way I see it cherry... I'm gonna modify that video. Those  are seemless and I'm using handtied.

I bought the red tape. So here's what I plan to do: Part off like shown in the video. Lay the first strip down along that section and weave hair like the demo. Next...apply the pretaped weft over that section. I'm using red for both weft and parting. So yes, you'll want the two strips facing eachother.

Though I'm thinking you won't want much of the tape exposed over the weft. If you're going to integrate your sections...wouldn't want any exposed adhesive to adhere to loose hairs... where you don't wan't it?

Am I gettin it?

Hi amm, here`s Christine writing. So sad the package didin`t reach me at Monterey... I don`t know what went wrong but I assume the people at the front desk were responsible... and guess what? I`d been in Las Vegas too from the 12th until the 15th. We stayed at the Mirage and had a great time. Great Idea, this Pro-flex tape. It sounds as if you can avoid the pricking at the scalp where the weft is sewed. (I feel a little bit uncomfortable with that feeling). I hope everyone `ll know what I mean...
