Are you on about a different red or yellow tape cyber????xx

Red Liner Collage thumb
Red Liner Tape
 
Used as a base liner for bonding or a higher tack for semi-extended wear. With slightly more tack than white, it's also ideal for daily wear but will stay secure for up to 3 consecutive days.
Clear Tape Collage Thumb
No Messy Residue Tape
 
Used for lace and extended wear, this tape boasts very good adhesion. It does not have quite as good of a bond as the Blue Lace Tape, but it requires less maintenance.
Cloth Tape Collage thumb
Cloth Tape
 
A double adhesive with cloth backing. This tape provides good adhesion, but not recommended for lighter densities, C-Thru bases, or Lace designs.
Blue Liner Collage Thumb
Blue Lace Tape
 
An extremely high tack adhesive, this tape is used for lace and extended wear. Body acids will eventually break it down and it is higher maintenance.
Proflex-TabsThumb
Pro Flex
 
Small tape tabs with ultra high tack levels. This is the stickiest tape you can get! Ideal for extended wear and getting that super strong bond when you need it.

That didn't come out right, if you go to www.hairdirect.com and then click on shop online and then tape adhesives you'll see all the different tapes.  Are those the red and yellow you mean cyber or something different xx

Yes, the red liner!  I buy the 2 widths.  Thinner width stick on hair and weave some hair on top.  Wide width fold over on extension.  Press on parted hair.  DONE!

I use this for my seamless and my Mark Barrington seamless.  It stays!!!

I'm very confused now.  On the hairdirect website is says the pro-flex strips are for the strongest hold and I'm also confused about your application method Cyber, you say you stick some on the clients head and then weave some hair and then stick some on the weft and then stick, can you explain this to me.  I just put it on the weft and then stuck it to the client's parting and then pulled down a layer of hair???? xx

Amanda, do you use the whole 1 1/2 inch width of tape or do you cut it?
Is that too wide as is?

Also, do you put the track right on the tape? Do you center the track on
the tape or put it at the top on the tape?

Finally (sorry for all the questions...) do you use a machine weft or hand
weft? Just wondering about how the size of the machine weft will work
with the tapes.

Thanks a million!

Hi there, yes I used the whole 1 1/2 inches of tape.  And yes I put the track on the tape, not sure what you mean about centering.  I've used machine weft xx

Sorry, I confuse myself sometimes...when you are looking at the tape, you
place the track closer to the top edge or bottom edge or about the
middle...does that make any sense?

There are two sections to the tape already done for you so you put it up to the top of the first one and then fold it over xx

Someone take some pictures. I need a demo!!!!

I'm really interested in this tape as an alternative to the Lg I just used. It sounds cool. But I'm not getting the visual.

I have never tired pro-flex.  Just the micro tabs from Mark Barrington Concepts and other hair replacment tape- white, red, yellow....

Chick- here is a really good movie about seamless hair extensions http://www.tressallure.com/watch_movie.asp  I really like this over sandwiching hair over hair.  I think sandwiching hair over tape is much lighter!

Great movies Cyber, that helps give a visual. But what is the point of weaving some hair down on the tape before adding the weft with tape I wonder? That seems hard to imagine for me to DIY.

When you sandwich your natural hair between the 2 pieces of tape (and weft) it will give you a much strong, longer lasting hold.

Ok, now I get it, so if I do it like in the video but with a normal machine weft of hair, when you've stuck your weft to the part is the side facing you sticky, do I then pull a fine layer of the client's hair down still x
