strand (not on wefts) takes longer, depends on experience.


thanks for the reply. with wefts, do u cut pieces out of the weft, and
then bond them to the hair? is that how it works?



I've never did that, I guess you could, I would never want to! If she is
doing fusion, she would cut it off probably, but from what I got out of it,
she was going to glue the actual wefts in, which would probably take a lot
less time.

thanks.. she showed me how she did it, and she takes pieces from the weft, and then bonds it with the glue she uses. she says they last 3-6 months. she had them in and they looked awesome. i am coloring my hair a week from saturday, so i am goingt omeet with her again to dicuss everything again and finally make my choice.

thanks guys!

I tend to cut from the weft then apply strand by strand.

I began using the drawing board but, personally, lost a lot more hair that way despite being ultra careful.

I've found that doing it this way is a lot better for me. I guess you find what works for you and stick with it for a certain amount of time. When I used the drawing board, loads of strands came loose and after the job I'd have a huge hair ball on the floor.

It looks more professional from the drawing board though. And I imagine pre-tips application looks even more so.

thanks sammy..

i think i am going with the person that cuts the hair from the weft, and applies it with bonding. i am going to try that for my first time, and then when its time to change it probaly try GL if i didnt love this method.

the best is to probaly do what you say, try different things to see what works best for YOU.
