Big companies stealing ideas

Actually, I think Raphael's method is good.  I wore it in my hair with no damage.

I tried Gemtress' version of the seamless weft that was similar to Raphael's and they called it the Ultratress 1 method.  I think it was Raphael's idea and they helped him market it, until they parted ways.  Now Gemtress has what they call the Ultratress 2 method, where you sandwich the client's hair between two pieces of the seamless weft.  I have some clients wearing that method, and again, there's no damage involved.

When it comes to a wefted application, I would much rather do a seamless weft such as the Ultratress 2 or Raphael's Visions than  machine tied, bulky weft.  Seamless wefts are ultra thin, just hair that's injected into a very thin polyurthane strip.  Very light in the hair and zero bulk.  I use the Pro Flex 2 double sided tape on the seamless wefts, and a little bit of the Gemtress brush on adhesive.  With the C-22 solvent, there's no problem removing it.  I wore them for 12 weeks, with no problems.  If I didn't like the convenience of my clip ins, this is the method that I would be wearing.

Anyone seeking a wefted method should check it out.  I think superhairfactory is selling seamless wefts now too.

Since I'm new here I'm not sure how this forum works, but my question is for metalgirl.

I'm a bit interrested in Raphael's method of applying hair extensions, but I don't own a hair salon or anything, and they seem to only sell to salons. I wonder if you know any retailer of this tape-on thing? Do you need to buy the hair seperately, or does it come as a kit? Is there any limit of how short hair the carrier can have? (course I know that one cannot apply extensions to extremely short hair, but will about 2 inches do for this method? )

Well, that was a lot of questions hehe. Wish someone can answear 'em
