He uses both the net and the sewing interlocking technique. I just wonder how an individual with hair can keep the hair neatly wrapped? I guess you can if you are sewing the hair onto the hair and the weft. i will look up the web address, sorry i am confusing you.
Hey girls, you may want to try a product called "thread heaven". It gives a sorta static effect to the thread to reduce tangling without leaving any residue. It works really well for me when I'm working with small threads, such as nymo nylon or even DMC floss for cross stitching.....You can pick it up most craft places or your local bead shop or yarn shop
Thanks for the tip! I'll pick something up like that!

yeah, the cotton thread sucks. It wants to try and tangle on you. I was going to order some clem yue, but didn't get around to it. Doc locs rings are hard to close, very hard rings. The also fold if they are on. Don't like them. The adhesive is okay though.
In your experiece...do you think doing a basic stich vs. the cross stitch will bear any difference?
I keep my stitches close and make two pases per ring
I think I read in your earlier post you used docs rings? I think the feedback was better on the rings from www.yourhairshop.com (Not sure if 101 and Shrinkies.net carry the same) Check out youirhairshop...she's carrying microthin thread! I ordered it so I'll give feedback after this install!
Not to jack this thread...but do you use the undetectable sew-in method often? I took Marcella's class, too. Just curious on your experience. I've got one booked for Fri
Well, I liked doing the undetectable with the silicone lined rings. They stayed better for me. The one with the shrinkie was pretty good also. I've tried it on a couple of clients and it lays pretty flat overall. I like it, not the ring I was trained on, it never stayed in the hair for me; I purchased some rings from Dr. locs and they still don't work for me, they don't hold without slipping. What was your experience?

This week will be my first "real" install using this method on a client. (I've only practiced my stirching on my doll heads) I ordered the silicone rings, I figured they'd give a longer hold. The only problem I see with shrinks, is that they can't be retightened.
Do you use the stitch Marcella showed?(The one where you crisscross your loop and pull the needle through) I'm finding myself just doing a half hitch(coming under and up)
Oh yeah I forgot to mention since you are removing it on your own use a seam ripper. Feel along the thread. If that doesn't work have someone take it down. The thread is brown so whomever takes it down will see the thread. And then you take the braid down.

Thanks! I'll get over it...I have calls into a couple other salons that may or may not do weaves. We'll see, I may just go the LG route again until I can save up for a professional fusion install.
Considering they have been in a short time I think you should go back to the shop owner. All the things that I mentioned comes from a professional point of view, but here is what you can say if you are going back to have services redone.
I just got my hair done_________ and I have not shampooed my hair as often as I normally do and my tracks have slipped a great deal. I was examining my hair and it looks as if my hair is more than 6 weeks old. Is there any type of gaurantee that you provide for individuals of my hair texture?
If they say: You must have shampooed or brushed to hard.
you say: I hold my tracks at the base as I brush and I use a looper brush to brush my hair.
Any other questions or anything just give me a holla, i can tell pretty much what is going to be said, but just give me a ring and I'll help as much as I can.
Just make sure it's a CURVED needle.. the straight ones are difficult to use especially when you are sewing your own tracks..
they have curved needels there- they are used for quliting- but i think they are probally pointed and could prick you. so if you go this route try rubbing the tip on cement to dull it...
Well, I agree with you especially if have to be totally inconvenienced by this, but in order for that business to be able to get more caucasian clients they need to know and see their mistakes. As far as money being refunded, I don't think that is going to happen. Now since this is an issue on their part necessary arrangements should be made to make sure you are happy with your experience.......Since you don't have a full install, you have braids throughout your hair, your braids should have been sewn down for reinforcement.

Go figure, huh? The only place I find does a crummy job......I must be able to find another salon closer. There are others down there, just not in great areas. There is a shop in Mattapan MA that even uses and carries Bohyme, but I'm not going anywhere near there. Living in the sticks for the last 3 years has taken some of the city girl out of me .
Hey, how soon do you think I need to take these down?
