Hi.  The hair lasts up to a year with the proper care and with my experinece I hav found this to be true.  And trust me I am extremely picky.  If you go on their site and read the "about us" page, it will give you all the info regarding their stuff.  I just bought (on monday) some more skin wefts from them and I noticed they also accepted credit cards now in addition to Paypal, and money orders.  Yeah, I know what you mean.   For a few weeks they were not accepting cc's or paypal so I waited to buy because I prefer to pay with cc.

hairheaven, Could you tell me a little more about what you think about the sultryhair.com seamless wefts?  Mainly, how good is the hair?  How long have you been able to use the hair before needing to replace it?  Are they reliable in their shipping and customer service?  The last time I checked their site, they only accepted money orders or checks.
Thanks

Hello, 

I had have several good experiences with Sultryhair.com.  I use skin wefts extentions on my hair as well and love the fact that they are not noticable.

No, they're completely different.

The photo above is just a tester I got from a supplier.

I'd like to try these I think but do you need to buy ProTac or some other tape for them?  It says they have adhesive on them on the Sultry Hair site and that it comes with extra tape for reinstalls.

Actually, I do believe that the stretchy material used to attach the "seamless wefts" is the same material in all the brands that have it. You have to look real close to see that it has been stitched in.

I bought from a few different places, one was Super Hair Factory's seamless weft which cost $160. Then I bought another one I loved it so much. The hair has not tangled and I've had it on a total of four months and not one bit has even ripped out! (yes, I took it out and reinstalled it a few times within the four months)

I followed Metal's suggestion some time back of the Vapon No Tape and the blue mini tape.

The advantage the seamless has over a regular stitched weft? Minimal shedding, feels very light on your head, stays intact longer on the poly strip, and.....when you take your strips out (I use the C-22 bond remover Metal raved about) it leaves the whole seamless strip intact when you remove the tape! It rocks. Also it's a quick method, and don't forget that you completely forget that you are wearing it because it's so comfy.

I like to wear shrinkies or fusion chips or the XM on the bottom couple rows of my hair and then start the rows with the seamless wefts. I only place the wefts from ear to ear and use about six or seven rows.  I find that my hair is too fragile around my hairline and above my ears for a weft, seamless or not.

Amm, thanks for your response. I realize that I asked a confusing
question. What I was trying to ask is if the pictures of the skin weft hair
that you posted in the first post of this thread is the same as the
microbond wefts available on your site? I'm about to order hair to do a
Pro-Tek install with products from your site and am trying to find the
wefts that will be the most invisible; I want to be sure that the Elite Remy
hair with microbond wefts will be a good choice. Thanks for your help!

Aloha All!

This is my first post, but I've been hanging around this site for about a month or so.  I've learned a lot from all of you and recently bought some of Amm's Lush hair and did my very first shrinkies install.  I'm very happy with the results!

I started into extensions with skin wefts that my hair stylist friend installed, from a company called Tress Allure. My friend had just taken a class on how to install them and this was her first hair extension experience as well.  Anyway, as a result of this, I am an extension junkie, but realized the TressAllure hair is non cuticle, tangly junk.  The nice thing about it though, is that it's a skin weft and there are many benefits to them.

They lay ultra flat to the head, in fact, I don't think there is a more invisible method, even if you place them near the top of your head.  You just don't see them or feel them if you run your palm down your head.

Also, they go in so fast, you can put a huge amount of them in in under 2 hours, probably closer to 1 hour if you're adept at the method.  I had a massive head of hair by the time my friend was done, 11 rows in all!

I had them installed using the double sided tape and pulling my own hairs over the tape before pressing the weft in to place and that method lasted about 4 weeks.  I have a relatively oily scalp and live in Hawaii where it's pretty humid.  I also went surfing 3 times in pretty gnarly conditions and the bonds were unaffected. 

I think that by using some sort of bonding glue, one could get longer wear out of them, but then I think the wefts get a little too wiggly as they grow out.

My reason for switching to Shrinkies was that I'm hoping to get a few months between installs instead of one month, but primarily because I wanted better quality hair.  I think I would go back to the skin wefts if I could get really nice hair, or at least do a shrinkie/skin weft combo. 

I'm very interested in the quality of the hair that sultryhair offers in their skin wefts.  Does anyone have experience with how long you can reuse the wefts before the hair gives out?

I know this is a long post, but I think skin wefts are really underutilized and would love to see high quality ones available!

kristie, they're not the same. The above is a polyurethane strip with hair either injected or sewn in. I have never seen one that's sewn.

Amm, are these the same as the microbond wefts available on your
website? If not, how are the microbond wefts different?

krs, I'm not really sure. Can someone tell me their personal experience with these and what they see as the advantage to them over a nice thin thread weft?

seriously doubt it because I have bought hair from Indianhairs as well and their hair does not even compare to Sultry's hair.  Indianhair's hair is coarse, frizzy, and dry, stringy ends, that shed a lot.  I would assume that is why they sell their hair so much cheaper.  I have stuck with Sultry hair because the hair is seriously really good quality that lasts and does not tangle.  They also offer many diff. types of extention types.  Who do you buy from?

I also like to wear the invisible skin wefts.  They are great because they are very undetectable.  I buy mine from http://sultryhair.com/ because I like to wear Indian virgin human hair.  Not to many company's sell the skin wefts in real virgin human hair like Sultry.

I never thought about sewing in seamless wefts.  I wonder how flat they would lay down on the head?
