    No.....   I don't think so,  but you could pre-tip the last six inches for a shrinkie install.   Cheers.

I'd go through the system,  but I'm a maroon and would confuse you.  go to the faq's and information link at the top of the hair extensions board and watch the how to pre-tip video from Doc Locs,  or Gina also has a good pre-tipping demo.

    It's a great way to go and pretty easy..   you could also do a board search for pre-tipping.  good luck

There used to be a couple of links that showed you how to make wefts with a sewing machine. You can try a search for dolls or doll wigs - http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigtutorial_makingwefts.html

you need tissue paper and hair of course.

you lay the hair over 1 peice of tissue paper, then fold paper over with hair folding over at the top.

you will then sew three rows of straight lines at the top of the hair over the tissue paper. about 1/8 apart from each other

--------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------

closer then above.

then you you resew the top and the second to the top

pull out tissue paper - tear it it comes out easy. and you should have a weft. it takes a bit of practice, but it does work.

Good luck.
