Specifically the bottom weft by my neck.... it has slid so much more than the others.  I dont comb my hair out without holding onto the middle, not to tug at the wefts...I sleep in a braid...I wash my hair very gently and dont put conditioner on my roots, so I can't figure out why it slips so much. 
I have had 3 different sew ins with 3 different stylists who are very skilled and came with high rec's so I don't think it's anything they did - I've been very happy with my hair...until that bottom weft starts sliding.  I am caucasion and do have fine, yet alot, of hair.  I typically do not have problems holding extenions in with other methods - Ive had Great Lengths many times without losing a single bond.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or know if any tricks to prevent wefts from slipping so much?
Thanks :)

The nape weft is notorious for slipping first.  I think it's because we move our necks around so much.
 
Anyway, when I do sew ins for people (most of my clients are caucasian) I use the micro rings to make the base and sew on top of that.  It's really secure even in fine, slippery hair.

When I sew in it depends on the client. Sometimes I have to use braiding hair because soft hair unravels thus causing the tracks to slip.

At the hair extension salon i work at we recommend maintaience every 4 weeks to re braid the bottom row on weaves, its an unaviodable issue of the weave. no extensions are permanent and never move or change during use.
