Thanks Shiry,

In your experiece...do you think doing a basic stich vs. the cross stitch will bear any difference?
I keep my stitches close and make two pases per ring
 
I think I read in your earlier post you used docs rings? I think the feedback was better on the rings from www.yourhairshop.com (Not sure if 101 and Shrinkies.net carry the same) Check out youirhairshop...she's carrying microthin thread! I ordered it so I'll give feedback after this install!

yeah, the cotton thread sucks. It wants to try and tangle on you. I was going to order some clem yue, but didn't get around to it. Doc locs rings are hard to close, very hard rings. The also fold if they are on. Don't like them. The adhesive is okay though.

Hey girls, you may want to try a product called "thread heaven".  It gives a sorta static effect to the thread to reduce tangling without leaving any residue.  It works really well for me when I'm working with small threads, such as nymo nylon or even DMC floss for cross stitching.....You can pick it up most craft places or your local bead shop or yarn shop

Sorry Gina, the man that does the weaves without a braid, he uses a net.

He uses both the net and the sewing interlocking technique. I just wonder how an individual with hair can keep the hair neatly wrapped? I guess you can if you are sewing the hair onto the hair and the weft. i will look up the web address, sorry i am confusing you.
