Is it just stuck where a weft sealant was applied or is it actually sewn together? Does it pull apart easily?

If there's a sealant on the weft, it's probably just a little sticky. If you pull it apart and rip the weft, you may be SOL so be cautious. I personally would gently see if I could separate it. If it's good and stuck, I'd call EP.

yes, it pulled apart, the middle slightly easier than the end, but everything intact and the sticky is gone

Beautiful! yes i see what you mean about it doesnt appear like much hair laying down like that. Mine looked exact same way and about the same amount of hair. You splurged and went with double drawn though so you should not have to cut one speck of it if you want it all one length.

That weft looks good but i would say no bettert than the micro hand tied they do on the Russian site. Mine was a little sticky also and it just pulls apart and also it was crinkled up and would not lie flat but once sewn to my head, no problem. Yours should be fine. I love the color and wave! gorgeous!

yes, the wefts look very nice, they did very good work. Were they supposed to look better than the Russian site's micros? They were probably much cheaper to send them out than to buy the micro handtieds from the Russian site.

No MsHoney, I asked to see EPs wefts because mine I had done from the Russian site. They do the micro hand tied ones. I just wanted to see if EP looked any different or smaller, what have you and its about the same.

thanks allBig%20smile  well after talking to a bunch of people i decided on ordering the russian then sending it off to be wefted by EP....i dont know how much it is to order already wefted hair straight from the russian site....but with shipping and everything else total, it was about $72 for EP. it is machine wefted by the way....im using protac/maybe a little LG for my install (havent QUITE decided on the EXACT technique yet...) so i wont be going to have it sewn in. im really just trying to find someone familiar with all of this so that they 1)dont look at me funny lol and 2)maybe do a better job. i found one lady, but she pretty much came off like she was a 'big deal' and was almost 'above' diy extensions or really anything other than strand by strand, soo...yeah. no luck yet! all i know is i finally want this hair on my head, its been over a month since i began all of this!!

That is frustrating. Its almost as if there is this big anti movement against the sew ins or glue ins or tape ins, all of it. I also found it frustrating.

Let me tell you when I was calling around trying to find, someone, anyone, that would do a sew in on me, I got this one broad on the phone.

I told her what I wanted to do with my wefts and she said and I quote:

"Why did you get it wefted? That is ghetto. Tracks are bulky and wont look right on you. Come in and I can cut it off and pre-tip it for you and do something better."

I almost wanted to scream at her! But I just said no, and politely got off the phone.

Wefting and weaves is about the best thing going in my personal opinion after wearing it now. It makes me angry! grrr.
