Hello! I also am interested in ordering the seamless tape on hair extensions from glamour hair! Please let me know what you think about them when you get them. I would love to know if the hair is good quality and if the tape is undetectable.
The skin weft is the material used in place of a sewn weft. (or handtied)
The stretchy material (aka skin weft) in the photo above is a polyurythane stretch rubber fabric. Then the hair is handtied in to give the appearance of hair growing.
The Seamless Method is just a term that companies use to describe the results of the skin weft application. Possibly to make the customer think that they have developed a new method.
So Skin Weft and seamless are used interchangeably.

Oh, sorry about that metalgirl, my misunderstanding. I also have very thin, fine hair so I guess if I try this pro-tac tape at all I will try it on a small area the strongest and healthiest area which is the top of my head closest to the part.
Thanks for the info.

huuh, where the heck did you get that from? I must say Ive never saw one like that!
I think different manufacturers and suppliers use the term skin weft or seamless weft. And Im sure different manufacturers wefts can vary in construction.
I would like to show a pic of a supposed "skin" weft that I received in one of my recent orders. I had ordered skin weft, but I received this hair- which is def. not a skin weft.
THIS is what I believe to be the "seamless" weft that people have been referring to. I MAY be incorrect- I have not seen a weft like this before I received this order- however, I would certainly use the term seamless to describe this weft.
It is very thin and will be excellent to use for the top/crown areas.
It has an adhesive backing on it- but more adhesive (such as pro-tac pro-flex pro-tape) or a dollop of LG will be needed to hold it securely.
Has anyone else had any experience with this sort of weft?
I did not lose hair because the Protac removal was difficult. In fact, with the orange oil, they came out quite easily. I lost hair because my hair roots are just too weak to support any kind of permanent extension. There are some people with genetically weak hair that will sustain damage from whatever method you put on them, and therefore they aren't good candidates for extensions.
If your hair is not genetically thin/fine and the roots don't get 'root pull' easily, than I'm sure that Protac will work fine for you.
PS- after week 3 I had insane constant itching with Protac, so keep in mind that some people will have reactions to certain adhesives.
yep, the orange remover from amm will work. My C22 works also or any orange oil remover should work the same.
Yes, Im sure acetone is drying. But for me...I do less damage becuase the acetone works FAST and the wefts and tape slide right out. When I use other removers that might be gentler, they dont work that well and I end up doing my damage by picking pulling and being impatient.
For those who like acetone for removal, a good conditioning afterwards is good.
Each of these products has varying results for different people.
Keep me posted on your install - pics would be great too!
Sherrie... love pictures - that really helps! thank you!
What product is recommended to remove the protac without ripping your hair out? I have some of Amm's orange shrinkie remover stuff and that worked really well. Will this do the trick?

Skye, there are several products that remove pro-tac. Different people have different results with each. For me what works the best and is lightning fast is pure professional acetone. I sell the C22 cirtrus solvent and that works excellent for alot of people. And some people have good results removing with just plain ol' conditioner.( A very thick conditioner left sit on the tapes for awhile)
the clear strip or material is on the other side, that attaches to your hair. You need to use an adhesive or tape with them. Skin weft/ seamless weft same thing.
I can't tell you more about the adhesive from seamless, I am going to do my first install this week, so I'll let you know!
I just know that Protac has had great reviews and seams to have many advantages: cheap, easy to put on yourself, you can use any kinds of hair, and easy to remove
Because I have extremely fine and fragile hair I don't think protac would be discrete enough for me, I think it would show.
Maybe if the Seamless method work to me, I'll try the protac on the lower rows!
I have to try protac soon anyway, I am too curious, I like to try new things!
I noticed that too. The seamless has that clear tape where the skin wefts have the strip that looks like your scalp. So I was not sure which one was better. I think the "skin wefts" look more natural - does that clear tape on the seamless show. It looks kinda shiny???
Will you add any more adhesive to your skin wefts?
Sherri, do you have a product that removes this pro tac tape? Does this tape attach to the hair just before the scalp or actually on the scalp?
I read awhile back that Metalgirl had a horrible experience with Pro-tac. and then others loved them. What is the best way to remove them. Is there something that takes them out without experiencing the hair loss that Metalgirl did? If I lose what she did I would probably end up bald! So I have been a bit nervous after reading that.
Did you experience that?
Also, with the hair that is availble in skin wefts, can you recommend a reputable place that offers good quality hair. I want the skin wefts just for the top.
