Well I have used both the sealant that Extensions Plus uses (they only sell it to local customers) and the sealant that HE101 sells (which is similar to Extensions Plus' sealant).. I like these sealants because they are more effective sealants than some of the other products folks use for sealing wefts (Fray Block etc..) The sealant isn't hard and my wefts are still very flexible afterwards..

I dont know what is on these wefts either. I asked and was told "sealant to keep them from shedding". They dont shed one speck but are too hard. Im guessing it is some kind of waterproof polyester coating or something that makes them impervious to water, thus the stiffness.
This whole thing doesn't make sense because you can soak those wefts in Hello Hydration and they will soften. How does that make them waterproof?
Why hasn't there always been a coated or non coated option? Until there was a big thing about those wefts falling apart there wasn't any coated or non-coated option. They were uncoated, end of story. Now they're coated with something that makes them stiff like a wire to prevent shedding?
The coating is not what should be keeping the wefts from shedding. If that's truly what the coating is for then it's a poor weft construction to start with. Now that there is a coating or non-coating option does that mean if you choose non-coating the weft will shed?
I certainly wouldn't want that hair shedding, especially when the price is what it is. When you order that hair wefted you don't end up getting the amount of hair you actually paid for. I weighed a weft and was short .32oz of hair. At over $100/oz that's not acceptable.
I dont know what the deal is as im new to wefts. I wonder, with any vendor, if you order hair and want it wefted are they supossed to be giving you an oz of hair prior to it being afixed to the weft or are they adding the weight of the weft to make it an oz in total? That would seem unfair to me but might happen. Its like going to the grocery store and being charged for the plastic packaging in the total weight of food you are paying for. It seems they should put an oz of hair on each weft so it would be slightly over counting the weft seam weight at the top ya know? I dont know if there is a standard or not for vendors to follow?

Krimsa, I weighed the weft. It was .68 oz. So that's with the weft. I realize you lose hair when it's wefted but that much?? Also, for the price of that hair and the bloated price for wefting don't you think it's reasonable to get a full oz on the weft?
Definitely! I think I’m getting bulk next go around for certain but I want to make sure I can get someone to sew it onto a weft I am happy with. So I will just order 3 oz bulk hair. I’m going to ask Wagmen first and if not them, EP.
I dunno about Wagman's wefter, but I've had quite a bit of bulk hair wefted at Extensions Plus over the last few months, and I have always been pleased with the results.. Ask for Marlene. (she's the one who handles custom orders)

I was interested in the beardless weft that Wagmen has but do you think they would not be able to do that with hair you send them and it needs to be their own hair done there already?

The wefter Wagman recommends does not do those beardless wefts. (The wefter is also not an employee of Wagmans, he is an independent contractor) The beardless wefts come from another company. Wagman is merely a distributor of this companies product.

Do you know where the beardless wefts come from? I mean its not a deal breaker and Im afraid in order to make them beardless, they need to cut more of the hair. Thats why i just wanted to call and find out but need to know who makes the beardless wefts if Wagmen is only distributing them and such.

No I don't know, but I do know that Wagman is not giving this information out either.. (Many of us on BHM have asked..) Whoever they get the Perfect Tress hair from is a deep secret that they are not revealing to the general public.. Can't say that I blame them.. If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't tell either..
