I saw on another thread where you mentioned the place where you bought your hair and now I cannot find it. Please give me the name and your colors. Our hair without extensions looks so similar, so I am hoping with your tutoring, I can get good results..
I do not know how you get the back layer to be so blended. My hair is about your length, but it shows, and doesn't look too bad, just kind of layered. I would love, however, to have the straight silky look that you have. It is fabulous. This weekend, I added another row at the top of my crown like it shows in your picture, but it shows. I applied mine on the seam with LG. I am not sure I understand your invisible technique. Would it be too much trouble to give me a link to any other install pics?
I have only bought Sassy hair from Sallys, so I do not know good from bad, actually. It does get tangled. My hair is naturally thin and fine and the texture of the Sallys remi hair is course.
Thank you so much!

THe hair I use is Bohyme Silky Straight in the colors 16 and 14B, I mostly use 14B though, especially at the back. I put more color 16 on the front, but it's all mixed. These two colors are usually a little too golden for me, but after like 10 days of wearing them, they lose this golden tone, and blends better with my hair and match my skin tone better.
I use handtied wefts only, they are much thinner than machine wefts and you can still cut them as you wish, only use a drop of crazy glue on the ends, after cutting.
The "silky" look is all about styling. Bohyme hair doesn't need much of it the first 4 weeks though. I use my Solia iron which is great and I recommend you get an good iron if you like straight hair. Plus a couple of products like heat protectant, silicone serums etc.
A good hair dryer (tourmaline) is good too, look on Folica.com.
In order to get a better blending you need to balance the volume of hair you put in, you have to place the top weft very high and you can add another weft under the top weft, so that there is volume on top.
My invisible technique is basically a narrow piece of tape stuck on one side of the weft (the one that is going to go on your scalp) and a layer of LG of the top part of the weft, that is going to be covered by a layer of your own hair. That's why the weft doens't show.
If you want to see other install pics, you can just use the "search" button on the top right corner, and search through old posts, it's easy.
I hope I was helpful!

Oh and for the places I get my hair from, here is a little list:
www.hairsisters.com (my favourite, best $$, good color choice, free shipping)
www.ebonyline.com (not such a good choice of color but good $$ too and free shipping also)
www.hairextensions101.com (Sherrie allows you to "mix and match" different color, so you pay the price for 4 oz but you can pick several colors instead of just one)

I ordered my hair a couple of days ago from sisters and LG and tape from this site. Both are on the way.
If you can stand a couple more questions, I would appreciate it!
How do you seal a weft?
The only way I could get the color I want was by ordering the 22 inch hair. I do not wear my hair that long but don't want to throw away the rest if it is salvagable. Any ideas?
