QuoteReplyTopic: microlinked wefts ;) Posted: May 24 2005 at 11:53pm
okie ..so a couple of weeks ago, i was sitting in the barbershop w/my hunny, and i picked up a hair mag ...flipping through it, i noticed an article of some guy (i can't remember who it was for the life of me), and he was explaining some sort of a micro-links method that i can't seem to find more information on :|
let's see ...basically, he used what looked like a thin fishing line with microlinks horizontally attached to it every inch or so, and then secured the line to the hair in a track (cris-crossing the hair thru the links on the temple areas, and the rest of the links w/just one strand pulled through) ...and then sewed on a weft (it looked like it was hand-tied) with more of the clear line.
anyhow, sorry if i didnt make too much sense, but i'm trying to find a better example of this sort of thing ...if anyone has any ideas, that'd be great! (i'm currently plotting my sister's next install)
Hmm. Sounds like a similar thing to Doc's new method for microrings and
wefts:

I think I know that article you are talking about. It was featured in Modern Salon a few months back.
The man's name is Pliny of Beverly Hills, and I guess he has a large celebrity clientele. I can't quite figure out how he does his work, and I have even seen it first hand on an extension client who came to see me for a consultation. She lived in LA and he was doing her hair, and then she moved and was looking for a new extensionist. She let me pick all though her hair, and she wanted me to remove it from her hair, but I couldn't figure out how to get it out of the hair, and I thought I had seen it all!
Anyway, here is a picture of what appeared in the magazine article. The picture didn't scan very well, sorry about that.
Ooh, which issue was it? Maybe we have it at work...
It looks like maybe he's just threading one bit of hair one way through
the loc, and then the locs are all tied together by the fishing line? I
guess the hair is pointing sideways 'cause the locs are sideways?

I agree. yeesh. I need female friends. None of the boys want to be my victims.
The fishing line is strung thrugh the shells before you close each one (guessing here) maybe eaven a small knot on the frist and then a knot on the last would stop the thread from being puled through. I saw this artical too and stared at it for bout 1/2 an hour

His name is Piny.... pronounced....... like weanie..... Anyway, he is in Beverly Hills on Olympic Blvd. I was his customer in 1983.....and at that time he was one of the VERY FIRST extension person in that area....I guess I can't tell you all the CELEBRITIES I was coming and going at that time! Wow...... However, it doesn't surprise me, he tries to be innovative and ahead of his time.............
It does sound similar to what Gina and I did..the "Malaysian Method", Except there was no fishing wire or whatever, you just took sections of their natural hair and slid up an extendtube and clamped it and made a row of those. Does that make sense??? Anyways, then you took a weft and cut it to fit around the head and then sewed it in be sewing right under and up between the extendtube(or microlink) and you just keep going across the whole row and the know it at the end. I made a comment on another post that I would only really do it for short term b/c it's still so itchy and somewhat bulky. Does this sound pretty similar?????
So, I kind of mispelled some words!! I meant to say you sewed it in between each extendtube- straight down the row and then knot it at the end! Sorry!! It's past my bedtime!
