Oh, Im really confused again. I guess then what i might currently have is the Malaysian using dental bands and thread because i dont think she braided my hair ever. All i know is its holding fast. I will go back to her probably mid september though for a complete takedoen and redo. i will ask her please tell me step by step what you are doing lol. Then report back as it seems to be a good method for finer textured hair. I also have a stiff weft meaning its not clothlike and pliable but more like a ring. I wonder if that makes a differance or makes it grip better.
Krimsa, just call her and ask her. She will tell you what she did. Ask her the name of the technique or ask her to reply to this topic and tell us. Tell her you tried to describe it to us but aren't quite sure what she did. She won't be upset.

I don't think you have anything like the Malysian method.. All of the videos I've seen of the various types of braids which incorporate the use of dental bands are nothing like the Malysian method.. The Malysian method is closest to the Dorctored Locks demo MetalGirl posted the link for earlier in this thread..

Im now emberrassed to call her and shes also very busy. I promise I will just find out when I go next which is soon. i would rather ask her face to face or while shes doing it instead of making her explain over a phone.
All i can say is its holding great. I did get that one tightening by a lady in Florida but she didnt tie any wefts together and only made them flush up against my head again. They were not too terribly loose anyway. I have only three wefts so there is a fair amount of space in between each one so i dont think you could feasibly tie them together or it might hurt.
Kristie, shes in Dorchester which is kind of right outside of Boston, Mass. Really nice lady. Here is her site:
Nothing to be embarassed about.. It's only natural to want to understand what you have in your head.. Especially if it's new to you.. I don't know of any stylist who would have an issue answering the question..
Well once you talk to your stylist, and find out exactly what you actually have, you'll know how your tracks were created, and how the "tightening" was done. Mystery solved, and no more guessing!

Its probably one of the methods you have guessed at. I suspect no braid because I would have felt that right? A lot of pulling? It seems like she laid the wefts on my head one at time, measured, cut, and then laid it back down and started sewing and using bands as she went. It felt very tight but not uncomfortable, just snug.

Depends on who's doing the braiding.. My stylists braids my hair and there is no "pulling" sensation at all when she braids..
Not sure what you're worried or embarassed about, but just ask your stylist. I can promise you that she really won't have an issue with explaining when you ask..

I understand where you are coming from, Krimsa. I had a braider once bite my head off for asking the positioning of the braiding and what works for me. I then had ANOTHER braider who refused to allow me to sit in front of a mirror while she did the braiding. She said I did not need to know what she was doing and I could just see the finished result. Pretty interesting these are the most expensive braiders in Dallas and do lovely work, but I just do not do ATTITUDE, I get enough from my daughter as it is! Suffice it to say, I did not go back to either.

I should have said a good professional stylist won't have an issue answering questions..
Good for you for not going back to either one of those stylists..

ok, Kristie, how rude is rude. I don't know any stylist who wants their clients looking in the mirror while doing their hair. There also could be cultural differences between you and the stylists too.
I know some African stylists are pretty no nonsense people with a "Do you want you hair done or a lecture on how your hair is done, you don't get both you wouldn't understand me if I told you anyway" attitude Black stylist are more relaxed and make you feel as if you've been friends for years and Dominican stylist? Oh they'll tell you to your face that your hair looks like crap and to never go back to the stylist you used before them and God help you if you did that damage to your own hair. They would turn you over their knee and whip your behind if the could. None are being deliberately rude, a woman from the same culture or used to dealing with stylist of different cultures wouldn't give it a second thought, tell the stylist "Whatever girl, just do my hair" If it's THAT kind of rude, you may be able to deal with it .
I guess my thing is that if I'm paying and I want to look in the mirror while you do my hair, then DAMMIT turn the chair around so I can look in the mirror!!

"Now THAT is not going to work" but it always does. I don't even like to watch people do my daughters hair, I see a catastrophe behind every move the stylist makes .
Is the sewing hard to do with the micro links? I have tried to sew hair onto clips before in the past and had a real hard time. It was always so messy and I never knew where to tie the knot.

No, it shouldn't be hard. The microringed hair forms a base in place of a braid and you sew the weft to that. You can sew over and around the weft or you can sew through the weft, my preferred method, which is a little harder.
