Hey everyone, I've had these pictures for quite sometime, and I decided to post it. Tell me your input. This hair came from www.hairfactory.com, it is the salon perm look.

Well, I  sewed her hair in a circle. Then I cut out a square piece for her top area. I sewed that down to the braids, I then sewed the hair in a circle. When you go in a circle with textured hair it gives more volume and coverage. If it were straight human hair, I'd horsehoe the tracks.Dead I hope I'm not confusing you. She is coming back in for me to do another install, she loved it.

It looks awesome!  So how did you close the top?  Very nice!  I wish more of my customers with thinning hair would go for a full weave.  I sometimes think that caucasian ladies have a hard time understanding the concept.

I agree.. I can't tell you how OFTEN I have had to explain this method to folks I've discussed weaves with.. (including the inevitable clueless ones who think I mean that I put a needle through my scalp to attach the hairLOL..)
 
I also think that the other problem with this method on caucasian heads is that there are many stylists doing this method who automatically braid caucasian client's hair FAR too tight. I know they do this because they think they need to do this to caucasian hair because of the assumtion that ALL caucasian hair is silky with no texture. So some misinformed stylists braid tighter than they should so that the client can wear the style for  more than a month or two.. The truth is that there are are other techniques to add texture to the braids so the style will last longer without pulling the crap out of the client's hair.. AND not everyone (regardless of hair type) can wear this method for more than a month becasue of their hair growth.. Some wearers can only get 4 weeks wear.. and that's okay..
