About how many oz. of hair do you use to do a full install on short hair?  Do you skip any?

I value your advice.  I have been reading here for quite some time and you guys are awsome!!

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you soooo much!!

it all depends on the starting length you have and the goal you want. typicially for me, a full install on most clients can be anywhere from 150 -275 strands.

you can view pics on my website. typicially i dont not ship spaces, however to blend the extension hair with the clients hair i do custom placement and might skip some rows.

My hair is about 5-6 in. on top and sides and 3 in. in the back.  I did an install and ran out of hair on the bottom in the back, so I had to take them out.  I needed about 75 more strands.  I used about 180 strands.  But, I guess you have to use alot for short hair!!

I just got Amm's shrinkies in.  I used Dr. Loc's before and had a hard time getting them out.  I used a mixture of Keratin tips and latex with nail glue tips just to see the difference.

Would I be better to use the keratin tips and the regular shrinkies or latex or liquid gold with the premium shrinkies?  Amm's remover seems to get that little bit of keratin out pretty well.

I ordered several different items from different suppliers to see what would be the best.

Those look awesome! When I took out the last set of extensions, I cut my
hair shorter, then when I went to put my new extensions in it looked
horrible! It seemed harder to blend, and yeah, seemed to take tons more
strands than before. But anyways, it looks amazing!

personally, i don't like to use single strand methods on my short hair to get a undectable look. I use a technique that only takes 30 min to apply and there are no threads,glue, clips or braids used.

It can be removed without retarding the natural hair very easily.

IF you want more info. contact me and i will be happppy! to share it.

rztahair I went on that site and all it said was that a licenced stlyinst would have to contact me.  It didn't say what the application process was.  So, what is the big secret?  I still haven't received any information from the site.
