Metalgirl, when you sew the hair in applying the tracks either in a circle or one at a time they fall on top of one another. My only problem was she was more than 50% grey, so coloring was out of the question, you know how grey hair and color does. She wore it about 5 weeks. The braids were not tight and no mildew hair. She said she washed it twice a week. Oh yeah I used a net for the top, it helps with gaps.

Hey Shirilyn,

It's not even a matter of just putting hair extensions in, I bet you made that women feel so much better about herself.  You did a fantastic job and I thing all of us who do hair extensions for a business get the most satisfaction from making people feel sooooooooooo much better about themselves.  Kudo's to you girl!Clap

To reiterate everything already said, AMAZING job. I bet she couldn;t believe her eyes when she looked in the mirror.

Is there anywhere that demonstrates how these weaves work and how you apply them?
 
I'm trying to find out and looking everywhere. I've looked at the BHM forum and gathered a few ideas but am still awaiting that wonderful demo that's going to make me go, Hurrah!
 
Is it best to add fake hair into the braid? It seems that some do and some don't. 
 
Thanks.

Hi Sammy JB, thank you for your comment, I can try and help you as best I can. I like to use hair for reinforcement purposes. A lot of people either sweat or shampoo their hair often, so adding hair and sewing the braid gives extra longevity of the style. Second, can you sew a pair of pants or a hem?  I can try and help out by sending a video clip to you by email. Just PM me and I'll get on it.

Thanks, Shiry
