You're right. I don't think the sew in weft method is good for the synthetic thing we've got going here - it's really...not going to work for that for many reasons, weight being one for sure. Synth is like...the new frontier!! You pioneer gals are out there exploring the best techniques, putting your head and hair on the line. And looking damn hot in the process! I just can't wait to try a full head of it myself.

I actually like the straight better than the curly but that's just me. I am glad that you brought up the fact that the wave goes away because this is not going to work with me who is a curly/wavy girl. In the summer when it's humid my hair gets pretty curly so I don't think the synth will work out.
I have used the Chrissy V bond with my doubled wefts many times, and it holds it very well for the 5-7 weeks. No problems with slipping at all. I do the 'teasing' thing she recommends along the part line, though, because I think it prevents slippage.
And, yes, it's a little more bulky, but I think that clients would rather only pay for 3 doubled wefted rows than 6 or more single wefted rows, because in the end, they end up with the same result, using less head space, application time, and money!
For most hair, I don't think doubled wefts are heavy enough to cause damage. If the hair is super fine and thin, then I would probably suggest the hand tied, but even with that, I usually sew 2 hand tied pieces together.
I haven't tried to bond hand tied, but I guess you could if you had 2-3 pieces (that were zig zag stitched on a machine). By sewing them on a machine, the top portion of the weft would probably be big enough so the bond would hold on it.
For my sewn in method, I use the microlinks, threading the hair through to make a 'track' and sew the hair onto that, because I couldn't cornrow if my life depended on it.
