QuoteReplyTopic: Silk Base Top Closure Posted: May 12 2008 at 6:48am
Hello Ladies , I want to place a custom order with Jack Sun and was wondering if anyone had ordered a silk base top closure from any of the vendors and what was ur thought on this. I heard the knots are not visible.
Remeber to tell your children you love them. You might not have that chance tommorow..

silkbase? invisible roots? Posted: May 19 2008 at 6:55am
I took some picsof me wearing the Halley's silk
unit which I will post soon. According to USPS my Lindsay is at my
local post office so I should get it today or tomorrow. I plan to wear
the Lindsay for the holiday weekend so will take pics Friday & post
them all together. My 3rd unit is a custom light yaki which should be
ready in another 2 weeks or so. I am thinking about getting a kinky
with the silkbase next & then I am finishedbuyingbecause I am well aware that I...

Divavocals you freakin ROCK!!! Thanks for the info & pics. FYI - I
have seen nomindstudio's hidden knots unit as it was sent to me in
error when I last ordered from them via ebay. It was very nice but the
color & texture were wrong for me ( like a 6 mix & very
straight hair). Was hard to send it back... You & meangurl76 have
gotten me hooked on silk caps now! I've bought three in the past month or so. Awww thanks girl.. Glad I could be of help.. Three silk...

But these bases
are much more realistic looking than a wig with a stocking cap attached
to it.. I can lay my "doctored" lace closures next to my silk injected closures, and the differences are immediately apparent..

Are there shedding concerns with these caps? I do not see how the knots
can be sealed.The construction of many of these pieces do not allow you
to seal them the same way you seal lace based
pieces.. That said, if these pieces are well constructed there is no
knot sealing needed. These pieces will have less shedding because of
the density of the base material used. I have three silkbased closures from Extensions Plus, and I have not needed to seal any of them..

Forgot to add this: I was told that a tea bag is an alternative way to tint the silk.
I have to work up by Halley's Curls silkbase over Mother's Day weekend
( silkbase too light for my tone, hair too straight & long but a nicely made unit overall). I will post before & after pics.

I just ordered a custom silkbase
from a vendor who told me that most of these have shedding issues. She
strongly recommended sealing the knots. I told her I use acrylic spray
& she said it would be a better option than hair spray which can be
drying.
I love the workmanship of her units. The hair is okay. It depends on
what you get. I am planning on purchasing the hair from somewhere
elseand having her make the LF for me. She is the only one I know of
that uses silkbases. I love her stuff. She and Rex are the bomb.
new hair crack- update - style pics added!!!! Posted: May 01 2008 at 1:09pm
yes the lindsay is the one with the silkbase...
i used EB to hold her- i didnt want to have to worry about my lf during
exams - and i stress out and stuff so i didnt want to add to the stress
.... I do wear a wig cap cause i have thick behind hair that wont stay
down w/o the tightness the wig cap allows...maybe next time i wash it i
can just blow it out to flatten it so i wont need a wig cap.... hmmmm?
ok ok ladies i will take photos of the layers... STAY TUNED..... I am
grateful...

kosher wigs tend to last longer. I have read women say that they gotten
several years of wear out of them.I think one of the reasons for this
is because they do not use asian or indian hair to make the wigs. If
you are interested in a kosher wig.Savvy sheitel is a company that
tends to offer less expensive. that's true b/c to be kosher they have
to be certified that they are NOT INDIAN HAIR thru the rabbi.. i think
the reglion has a lot to do with it between the two..but its usually...

iwas speaking to a vendor about silkbases. He said he was familiar with the silk method but only on kosher jewish wigs. He said his company uses Chinese silk
instead of Swiss lace,and the knots are hidden,the hair seems grow from
the skin. Would this be the same thing? This is exactly the same thing
we have been speaking of (when talking about silkbases).. BTW.. the pic you postedis a LOT too small to see clearly.

So are the silkbases and monofilament 2 different bases?
or are they 1 in the same? (from the pictures that i have seen online
thus far they look similar) -and if they are different what is
difference between mono and the silkbases. Monofilamentmaterial (which can be silk
mono)is still a somewhat sheer material.It doeshide the knots well
because of the density of the weaveof the monofilament material, but
often the scalp area in monofilament pieces (wigs and closures) does
not look...

MsMahagoney--
You
are correct those pictures are from Marie67 fokti. She's a member on
BHM. I remember when she posted a topic about them and she purchased
the silkbased closure from Halle's Curl.
I knew that I had seen them elsewhere and not froma vendor "so to
speak"! I thought they were hers but I couldn't find them in her fotki
so I chalked it up as maybe being misinformed! Thanks!

Vets and newbies your advice is needed Posted: April 07 2008 at 5:15pm
i think that would be great but really do your homework b/c they also
is a business that's in very high demand.. sometimes you can get floor
hair and/or waste hair, that falls to the floor and the cuticles aren't
aligned and its tangles like the rest.. sometimes the factory's or the
temples themselves don't always know what they're getting b/c its not
regulated by the government b/c its a religion to donate the hair to
the temples..and from my research its known that the...

Yes diva but most lf wear'ers don't buy them from Extension's Plus b/c
they are high and expensive.. we normally deal with chinese vendor's
and/or some american vendors that are a little more cost effective,but
not at the same prices as EP.. but even with the options of the silk
its gonna tact on a little extra cost even with the chinese b/c the
venilation process is harder than the lace... not to mention the other
extra's we normally opt for.. I realize that not...
