Oh you're in Dallas? You should definitely find someone there. I'm in L.A. and these places are popping up everywhere. The most I found was $50/row. You can also check craigslist.

There is a tutorial on it on youtube by mokipono but I would suggest to get it done. Where do you live? In most cities there's several places doing it now. I found a person who does them for $25/row! It's worth it. My hair is fine too. It's just an easy easy method. You don't have to worry about it at all! I have it done every six weeks.

I am SO wanting to do that! Just not sure I have the right hair for it.  Lots of it but fine and only to just below my chin level with layers.  Not sure I am at that point lengthwise but would love to get there.  I just need to find someone to do it.  I have yet to find a tutorial on it.

'Sew ins' implying sewing in the entire weft in rows? As in corn rows?

Oh, heavens no, not using solely super glue.  I am tipping with the shrinkie and then using super glue on just the tip.  Just wonder if anyone has tried it and it works?

yes it is two methods of pre-tipping explained here. I haven't heard of anyone using ONLY super glue, so I'd reccemend trying another type of glue before coating in super glue. Super glue and nail glue is usually used only as a top coat over the tip to seal it.

hairextensions101.com has good tutorials and helpful members as well.

Are these 2 different methods she is explaining?  One, pre-tipping on the weft with shrinkies and, two, pre-tipping on the weft using glue.  Is that where I am confusing myself trying to combine the 2 or is this all really one method?  Looks like this post was 2 years ago but looking for alternative ways to tip my hair.  I am having a real problem keeping extensions in for very long and looking for any alternatives.  I have predominantly used nail tips, finding certain hair bonds much stronger than others, but of course they are not on the hair that I like.  I have been using shrinkies for past few weeks but having a hard time with either losing hair or them slipping out.  If it is pre-tipped I tip, I have been using the super glue.  ANy suggestions?

Kalika, if you split the weft you shouldn't have this problem. Use a razor and slice the weft in half, making two wefts.
It is what it is...

Pretipping right off the weft looks like a great idea, my only concern is all the little shortie hairs from the weft being glued in as well.

Phew, I'm back after some hectic running around...

My extendtubes are the med. size. I ordered the kit from Kristen's site, haircandy.net.

Gina, yes my glue is latex, howdya guess?

Kristen, how do you use a threading needle for the back?

Has anyone tried taking a flat iron to the WaWa hair?

Going to practice my shrinkies!
It is what it is...

Hi there guys. I tried the latex on the weft thing last night but it didn't work for me. When I'd cut the weft off I found it really difficult to 1) cut up the hair into the latex without a lot of shedding and 2) when I rolled it because the latex was uneven on the weft it rolled uneven. Although the tips came out ok, it took a lot longer than squirting a blob of latex on the workbench, cutting the hair from the weft and fanning and saturating with the nozzle but that's just my opinion xxxx

I am trying to pre-tip my Plastikhaar with shrinkies, but I too am getting them too flat and not round. I am not hearing the sizzle sound and they don't seem as if they are shrinking all the way.

I have been using my conair baby flat iron that I use to install the MB Shrink Links. It doesn't have a temperature control on it.
