Hi All,
I have aclient who has VERY thin baby fine hair. For about a year we did fusion  and she loves it - but I don't thinks it looked as good as it could because her hair is so fine the bonds show, unless she carefully covers and sprays her hair. The problem is she doesn't cover and spray before she leave the house so the bonds show.  ( I'm not crazy about the advertising of my business here, shes often asked what's up with her hair and she happily tells everyone they are extensions done by me.Ermm)
 
SO I steered her towards the glued weft methods, which look a whole lot better IMO. But she can't seem to keep the wefts in very long, I think its because she's on the oily side naturally.  I have gone over and over the care factor of extensions with her- but I don't think she keeps it up very well.  I am afraid to reinforce the wefts with mirco rings because her hair is so fine. So I keep her in a supply of LG.
 
Any ideas  or am I just going to have to cheerfully refuse to do her hair again.  HELP!
Thanks,
Audrey

What about a sew in track?

I'm pretty sure I'm not talented enough to do a braid on such silky , fine hair. Very small pinch braids might be OK though, it would just take a REALLY long time because the braids would have to be so small...

You would use synthetic hair aka braiding hair to braid with her hair.
My hair is fine too and that's what my extensionist does. I only have one double weft.

As someone who has this problem her self

try either a topper, attached with micro links or tracks or whatever


and then extensions below that if she wants length too

or a closure piece and then extensions below


i find any method that doesnt include a closure or top piece - the attachments show on my hair, but if I use a topper/closure - no one knows

as a bonus you dont have those  short top layers that can be a dead giveaway that you have extensions in.

How do you apply your closure with micro links?

just put the top piece on (use hair slides to hold it in place)

take a small piece of the closure hair, and a small piece of the clients hair, pull thru micro link and clamp

repeat all the way around the perimeter of the closure piece

no because the hair in the top piece or closure covers the micro links

you only need a few micro links to attach it.

Awesome!! Thanks. My friend needs a top piece but it's too $$$ for her to keep getting it braided in. I'm going to try that on her.

someone said earlier about a sew in track, perhaps a liquid gold track might do the trick
