I have found that when you try to use one piece to go around your head, than it can't accomodate the curvature of the head and therefore buckles.  You have to cut the pieces smaller and say use 3 or so pieces to make your track.

I find the seamless to be a bigger pain than they are worth.

Amm:

DO you have any recommendations for other application methods? LG for example? Have you tried the skin wefts with any other install method besdies protac?

Also- where did you get that hair from? It is beautiful...
 
I just ordered a small order from an international supplier- and in that order I got approx. 4oz f skin weft- so that I could see the product and experiment with a skin weft for the first time.
 
I had planned on using protac for the skin weft application- but now I am looking for any suggestions for an alternate application method, since you say the protac does not work well.
 
Any recommendations would be appreciated,
Thank you!

Save your money.

I'm on install #2 with this method and the 2nd is the same as the 1st: the weft bends away from the tape.

Here's the beautiful install hair:



Unless you can find a shipper or manufacturer who will ensure the wefts remain completely flat, I find the bend to be difficult to contend with. It's similar to ironing in a hard crease and then trying to iron it back out. The weft stays --and is staying-- in the Pro-Tac but that bend from being bundled comes right back. I even put a towel over the weft and ironed with a hot clothes iron.

My recommend: stick with machine or hand-tied. They're cheaper and lay flatter.
