HHHH- Yeah, I find it works well, but you definately need to cut them
down. I use the longer wefts more towards the bottom, and little pieces
around the top. Using a bigger piece in the back, then a few smaller ones
towards the front has turned out the best for me. Just my input!

I noticed when I used the full size tape that it didnt conform to my head as well on the top row. But it still held as well.  But maybe try using a half tape. Or as Naked eye said, use a few separate pieces.

Oh yeah Sherrie, what you said, this install I used half tapes on the
bottom and top (I didn't have great success with double wefts and half
tapes, but they worked great with 1 weft) And at the top, I love them. It
really helps, less visible, and feels more comfortable!

I cut them up and did this kinda thing around my hairline

But because shorter wefts have a tendancy to move and get looser faster then the longer ones, I overlapped the edges on each protac strip a bit, it glued to itself and is as secure as one long weft.
