Frenchie1...thank you!!!! Yes, that  Jerk hurt my self esteem so much (more that already was when I met him), you can't even imagine. But everything happends for a reason.
 
Oh! I have another story! I was dancing one night at a club, and this is when I have individuals strands attached, so this guy was dancing "Merengue" with me and he could't stop swirling me around...one strand came out flying hitting the couple dancing next to us...embarasing. The lady handed out the strand to me, and they where laughing.Embarrassed I grabbed my strand, tried to prettend I wasn't embarrased, but only lasted 3 minutes, I was out of that club in a flash.

Very funny stories ladies. Unfortunately I have no stories to tell. Being black everyone assumes you are wearing a weave anyways. So most men don't mind. My husband is white and he's always asking me when I'm going to do my hair. He even buys it for me.

As for having an undetectable weave, i don't know about that.
But my trick is to split the weft in two if it's doubled to make thinner wefts. Then I part some of my hair, like I was making a bang. I then cover my hair with a stocking cap (black of course) and apply the wefts on top the cap real close together. Then I comb my hair over it.
 
When I touch the surface it's less lumpier and very full, not helmet hair full.
 
Hope that help!

You guys are making me laugh so much!!!! This topic brings so many memories.LOL
And as many of you know...My stories are LONG :)
 
Like BarbieLocs story, I was engaged to this guy (before I met my dear husband) who wanted me with very short hair, very "boy" short. To make him happy I chop my hair, he broked up with me 2 days later because he had met someone 3 weeks ago and he wanted to be with her (Yes, he was cheating on me!!). So in my big depresion stage I went golden blonde, and got a tan...I was looking HOTTER than ever!!!!! I met who is my husband then...then one night my Ex (lets call him Nick The Jerk) saw me on a restaurant with my then hot boyfriend (my hubby) and he was so regreting it...he couldn't keep his eyes of me. Later that night a got a "Booty Call" from Nick The Jerk.  I thanked him for encouraging me to chop my hair, it made me realize the woman in me, and gave me more confidence. and no I wont waste my time my time having sex with him, meeting my new guy made me realize how much good sex I was missing out.LOL
 
Then when i went very serious with my BOYFRIEND I decided to grace him with a new me (plus got tired of short hair) so I tried Hair Extensions (The addiction begings). Well, I ran into Nick The Jerk again, when I was wearing a 22" Deep Wave in a beach blonde shade, with a sexy tan!
 
 And since I was living in by  the beach where everyone goes to the same places all the time,  we ran into him again at a club, me wearing a long 22" dark brown Body Wave with golden and very light blonde highlites, a sexy red dress and of course the tan......This time he was crying beging me to marry him, making a bigger JERK in front of my boyfriend and all our friends. I told him HE missed out so much, and if I was him I would be begging too, because he could had have so many women in one, plus I don't want any STD.
 
The Jerk moved 2 weeks later to New York. Clap 
Now, My husband enjoys all the changes I make with my hair.

Oh, I miss my husband being able to run his fingers through my hair! I thinks he's afraid of ripping them out or something. Except once or twice he's pulled them when we were doin' the nasty!!! It kinda hurt, but I figured if that was his fantasy and made it okay for me to keep getting them, that was a pretty good price to pay!
I recently had a cousin ask me how my "dead person hair" was doing. I've had a lot of people say their boyfriends think it's gross becuase they think its horse hair or something.
I remember back in the day, before my extensions addiction, I would wear a long ponytail attatchment. I was dating this really hot guy and never told him, but he probably figured it out because when we were in the middle of a hot make-out session, I felt it hit my feet, and I freaked out and told him I really needed a drink of water, RIGHT NOW!!! (then I snuck it back on while his back was turned!) The next week he was complementing my "new" shorter haircut!
I also had the same ponytail come off in a hotel pool and didn't even notice until I swam right back into it! I thought it was a rat or something at first!

I should have to the poor girl that was giving me a massage, I just forget because I've had them in for so many years!

Absolutely a keeper girl.. Tongue

I never worried about it when I was single.. My thing was take me as I am or get to steppin'.. Didn't stop men from tryin' to "change me".. (They thought I was a maverick to who needed to be "tamed" LOLLOLLOL) I knew my man was THE ONE because NOTHING I did or said fazed him one bit!!!LOLLOLLOL

My man could CARE less what I do to my hair as long as I don't do anything crazy (like a pink mohawkLOLLOLLOL).. I even wore a phony pony for my wedding because it was the BEST way to get the style that I wanted..LOLLOL

Well the guy I was dating probably just thought I had a lumpy head.  I actually did a crappy install so the wefts were a bit lumpy.  LOLThen one piece was slipping & he never noticed in one night the right side of my head just got and inch longer LOL.  I would have probably told him oh it's just a tumor and the hair grows really fast in one spot.
 
Before extentions I had a bf that used to constantly put his hands through my hair, the boy was actually making me lose hair. So never big on people putting their hands in my hair.

This happens to me all the time! I feel like my bf is numb to my hair changes anymore (actually, lately whenever he talks to me on the phone he just randomly asks me, "putting extensions in, taking them out? Coloring, cutting your hair??" Guess that shows how much I change my hair!! )

But I just started TAing at my old school, and the first week I had the curly long hair, then I took it out, and had my short straight hair, and only one girl is like, oh, you straightened your hair!! I was about to say and it's about a foot shorter...

so this week it is long again, the poor kids (and guy instructor I'm sure) will be totally confused!!

But it shows how not observant people are!

How about this: I went to the sauna once and I had beautiful, curly microbraided hair on.
A bunch of us sat together and the owner of the place said: "Hey Nikkie, last time I found a couple of your extensions on the bottom of the bubble bath!" I was so embarrassed I didn't know where to look, but then I asked him if he tried them on himself.
Now, ladies, keep in mind we were all naked, so saying I felt exposed would have to be taken very literally! lol!

We all had a good laugh though so no trauma's... .

My husband really doesn't like extensions or anything fake, but he lets me have my fun. He even helped me put in fusion extensions once!

As long as we don't take ourselves too seriously it'll all work out fine.
I learn to love and try to understand everyone I meet. I see the rainbow hiding in their eyes.

Hi Girls!
I think it's a very good topic, and I can say that at first I was a little nervous to "assume" my hair extensions with a new guy!
I told my current boyfriend very early in our relationship, after his hands got caught into some fusion strands,LOLLOL he just said "oh really? Ok...", I don't like to show the process of installing or how it work or even the wefts of hair however, I try to be as discreet as possible.
But I know he likes the result anyway!!Wink

Nursie is right. My husband bought me $250 worth of hair for my birthday this month. He loves my hair extensions.

im glad my hubby was already ball and chained to me long before i decided to become a hair addictTongue

but for you single girls, there are definately great men out there that will love you with and without, and buy hair for you, and some will even help you put it in......
 
and if they ever said 'its me or the hair'....well, you know which to chooseWink

My son has a lively sense of humour.  He knew darn well it's human hair, but saying it's horsehair is sooooo much funnier (in his mind, and much more confusing to his friends!).  LOL Big%20smile

I so have been there with the sew in method!!!   I used to freak out when people would even come near my head!  It's funny but you don't realize how much people touch your head until you get extensions and are diving away from them.... and I seriously have dodge people before!  I did have an instance before when I was with someone new and they touched my head and I thought I should say something ... didn't want him to think I had brain surgery or something!  but I never did say anything and it never came up!!!

But in the past I've always had extensions when I was single and as soon as I got involved I took them out and not one time did the guy notice my hair was suddenly shorter and thinner????  I don't get it?
 
I now wear the protac and I would say it's much much better then the sewin method!!  (for flatness)  and my  current boyfriend poor thing has to go through the whole hair addiction, for I am keeping these bad boys in!!!!
Current Install: European hair two rows triple wefted on bottom double wefted on top, with Protac

Sorry...got off on a tangent & forgot to answer your other question.
 
No, other methods wouldn't be undetectable either.  I've heard of some with micro-wefts saying they're less detectable in those situations, but nothing is going to be completely un-noticable.  Not even individual strands.  In my opinion, strands are less detectable than wefts just because there's less bulk in a concentrated area, but even then it depends upon the placement, etc.  Sorry!
