I am not familiar with euroflex, but between red liner, white liner, and pro flex, the pro flex lasts the longest.

Well I've only had experience with the pro-flex strips and for how easy they go in and the lack of mess and they've gone 3 weeks so far, I'd go with that x

Ok I just ordeed Pro flex and the red tape but did not get the remover. I have Amms remover and LG remover. Will either of these work or do I need to get theres too. I am tryin this on a friend . Allso because I have not used wefted hair and will be ordering from EP what sort of weft is best. They have so many types. She has very fine hair.

Ok I tried the red tape I got at a hobby store. I sandwiched my hair between 2 pieces and it held great. The only thing that didnt hold was the weft to the tape. I used WAWA and it did not stick to the tape, but like I said, the tape stuck to my hair.

I'm all staring at these things for weeks thinking, "won't this blue backing show up when it's in my hair?"

And then I peeled the backing and saw that cool looking clear strip underneath. Duh.

That tape, or any tape is only meant to work with the seamless wefts.  I don't see how it could work with a machine weft, since it needs a flat, smooth surface in which to adhere to.

So Lisa, what is the back of the seamless made of. Could I put a layer of say epocky or silicone or what ever you think the back is made of and turn a thin weft in to a seemless. Dose semless start out as a weft? Do you have a photo you could show me, Please. I just need one track for my friend so I don't want to buy the whole set. Thank's for your help.

I'm with ya chica! I would love to try this! Maybe once everyone gets their supplies we could all agree on weft colors on split the 5 from Lush...*hint hint*

Thanks Char for this demo... http://www.tressallure.com/watch_movie.asp

I have a client that's 11 washes and three and a half weeks living proof that the proflex tape works with regular machine weft x

Amanda,  YAY! u have been my motivation to try this with wefts. I already have euroflex tape which holds lacefront for 3 wks (and I was told is same as proflex). I ordered some red liner last week and when i get that, I will try it with redliner as base and euroflex on weft (as in tress allure video).
Amanda, if i remember correctly, u said u did your test client w/ just the proflex tape right, NO redliner.. So I'm guessing combined w/ red liner it should really hold great! Can't wait to see.

I just overlapped the tape over the top of the weft and then used sherrie's sandwich method x

Wow, I'm impressed that you are getting machine wefts to hold only with Pro Flex!  You may be on to something....

Marie, the seamless wefts have hair injected into very flat polyurathane.  The ole epoxy trick just may work, it's worth a try!

Has anyone tried Sensi-tak tape? http://masterpieceofhollywood.com/index.php?main_page=produc t_info&cPath=4&products_id=35

Just curious?

ETA: I found this explanation of tape strengths, thought I'd share http://store.adventhair.com/taperolls.html

Gina, it looks like red liner and it even says 'red liner'

Lisa, I'm wearing a seamless thermofiber with the wefts.
