This is an update to previous threads regarding "skin wefts'. If anyone is looking for quality suppliers, I can highly recommend www.BestWigsupplier.com or Qingdao Aiwens Hair Products Factory in China. I ordered 3 units of 90 cm wide 12 inch, Brazillian Wave skin wefts and they are incredible! I have never felt hair like this. (and I've ordered hair from just about everyone from across the planet over the last 30 or so years - or so I thought). The guy's name there is Ivan Lieu and all through the process he was timely with replying to my (numerous) emails and it took less than 3 weeks from ordering to my receiving them here in the UK. They were seriously competitively priced and were a refreshing change from my first experience with a company out of the DC/Baltimore area called www.poshmode.com (do business with this company at your peril and total disappointment - the worst!!)
This company promised everything, but delivered little (literally). When I finally got the hair, (some 6 weeks later) it was 1/3 of the amount that I paid for and that was advertised, the hair wasn't hardly Remy (more like the cheap straw that you can get anywhere), and they were a complete nightmare to deal with! I had an ongoing dispute with Paypal for over 2 months over my order, because Poshmode.com just kept ignoring my emails - but to no joy. I finally just had to swallow the loss and chalk it up to experience. Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know. The information I got here was really helpful when I was researching, so I thought I'd return the good energy. Good Luck! Skin wefts are the future!!

Hi Miya, sorry you can't get to see the pics (you did mean the skin wefts?), as it looks very nice, and the yaki texture is very natural looking for those of us with african hair.

@ mia

don't knock the synth, as I have worn some that looked very nice in yaki texture and also seen on this board a girl with synth yaki that looked very nice, but I know what you mean about having h.hair also

HEY PPLS am new here but i took my time to read all the post. very informative but i would like to know where i can get the skin weft for cheaps and the best "do is yourself" method. i prefer glue cuz it's quick but any suggestions r welcomed.

i really like the skin weft...and all this time i was rocking the "new" synthetic heat resistant weave like it was  the hottest thing since sliced bread. man i feel so foolish..anyways better late than never.

i can't wait to get my very own "hair"..and front it like it's all natural. lol

Thanks PJ for letting me know.  I am super tempted to relax my hair all over soon anyway and add a bit here and there where I like to see more length.  I am glad that you are pleased with it though, and if the hair is remi, if I were you I would stick with that over the IH, as I think most of us prefer the relaxed look over the silky look.  I currently have the IH in with the top track and double at the front in yaki and it matches perfectly when just pressed, but you know the BSS yaki STILL needs taming and shows the rest up if not carefully monitored all day long.  This is what I need some good yaki for, because the indian hair does hang well (if you get a good batch), and covering with yaki seems to work for a lot of us, but I am still in search of great yaki, may try bohyme saharian smooth but pricey if it still acts like BSS.  Again, thank you for keeping us all posted with your order

Hey RemiLover...thanks for the compliments.  I applied the skin wefts by using a roll of toupee tape (Proflex) and applying them pretty much the same as using bonding glue to install:  part the hair, measure and cut the weft, roll the 2-sided toupee tape onto the weft, and cut the tape to fit the weft.  Then stick the weft onto the scalp along the part.  Repeat.  ( I have since learned that using Euroflex holds better than Proflex for me; luckily I had some Euroflex left over from my lacefront wig)

This yaki hair has a wonderful texture...I absoultely love it, and it's been in now for 6 days, very few tangles, very little shedding, and best of all, whenever I put the right products on the hair and curl it, it looks awesome!  It matches my very midly relaxed hair texture very well (up close, I can tell the difference but that's just me).  I am not an expert on blending yaki with Indian, so I don't know how that works, but I would like to try it.  Hair human hair.com screwed my order up, and although I ordered 14" yaki and 16" curly, it came vice versa...the curly was shorter, so I think the yaki hair was about 16" but I cut it to about 14"

Cutting was not a problem at all.  they cut as easily as any track. 

I used not quite 3 strips (they are 1 yard each)
