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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
SHE human hair blend, 18", #4 with Supertape.

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

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

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

Cybermane, you use just the red liner tape for both? On the video they used the red liner on the head and the white tape on the weft. I was wondering why 2 different kinds of tape?

YES!  I just bought the proflex tape too.  I asked the guy who sold it to me which is stronger and he said the proflex b/c it has more glue.  So far this red liner is strong.  I still have mine on and let me tell you if I didn't have that solvent, it's a pain in the a** to remove.
