I read about "Undetectable Strand" method. Here's the site http://www.marcellaellis.com - http://www.marcellaellis.com Just wondered how it could be so safe and all the while last so long. Any feedback would be appreciated. I was considering taking her class or putting one together locally. ------------- I've got a new puppy!!!

Hmmm...it's hard to tell, but my guess is that the "undetectable strand" method she's describing is microillusions, or something similar. Microlinking is probably just microrings (extendtubes, whatever), and Keratin is fusion. Net and Integration are primarily used for hairloss clients, with varying degrees of success, and non-surgical hair replacement probably comprises toppers and/or lace-front wigs. As for the "Malaysian" method, I have no idea; I've never heard of it! I don't know this stylist or her work, but given the language of the descriptions, those would be my best guesses. :) ------------- http://www.beautyaddictmag.com - www.beautyaddictmag.com |

hmmm sounds like some time of weave or integration or something??? I hate it when they dont actually give you a REAL description of the method! It makes me feel like they dont really want you to know! Here is what they say under the techniques tab *Undetectable Strands -This is the ultimate of strand-by-strand hair weaves that is undetectable to the naked eye and to the touch. No glue, no wax, no heat, no adhesives, no chemicals or other attachments is needed for this advanced technique that will last up to 12 months. This weaving system involves a revolutionary interlock system that is easy to apply and easy to remove. This hair secured to hair technique offers versatility like no other weave you’ve ever seen! Undetectable Strands can be applied to any hair type, can be relaxed or permed, can style hair in a smooth ponytail or up do, and will last up to one year. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

So, are the micro illusions similar to shrinkies from docs? I'm familiaiar with the others methods. I believe the malaysian method uses a cap of some type but thats the extent of what I know. Thanks Jenn Yeah, their description is a bunch of jargon ------------- I've got a new puppy!!! She's a http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/GinaE52979/EvansFirstDayandRoxy06019.jpg - White Boxer |

Microillusions (if that is, in fact, the "undetectable" method she's using) are quite involved. They really aren't like shrinkies at all. There was a thread about them here awhile back: http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/viewthread.asp?forum=AMB%5FAP934431446&id=2075 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/viewthread.asp?forum=AMB%5FAP934431446&id=2075 The Black Media Forum is probably the best place to research them. As far as the members here, AfroPuffs seems to know the most about microillusions; in fact, I think she was planning to get them. I don't think she's posted in a while, but you may want to start a thread to her. Good luck! :) ------------- http://www.beautyaddictmag.com - www.beautyaddictmag.com |

Just read up on your links Jenn. This must be the same method...just a different name. I have actually spoken with Marcella she is very nice and she did explain that method took apx 30 hours!!! She offers classes that teach various methods. Tuition is $400. She will also do on site for a minimum of 4 students. I'm still looking to get together people in my area. ------------- I've got a new puppy!!! She's a http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/GinaE52979/EvansFirstDayandRoxy06019.jpg - White Boxer |

| Just wanted to bump this up. Has anyone found out what this method actually is? I tried emailing someone who's website advertises this method to ask for more information, but their reply was just as vague as the description on the site. Just wondering if anyone else has had more luck cracking the code! |

Ah yes... I now know the secret of undectectable strands!!! Brace yourseves...It's a reall micro (and I mean micro) pinchbraid. Instead of using thread you tie off using the hair. Now, I know I said a few nights ago I'd post pics...well I've been lazy! I'll get em up tonight. My opinion of this method so far...I would not want to do an entire head this way! However I do think it would be nice to use around the hairlines and parts/crown. After doing those teeny braids, I feel the pinchbraids would be a blessing! I never thoght I'd get the hang of pinchbraids...but what dya know! |

Whoa! I'm sure you'll have plenty of details witht he pics but...
How many strand of hair per braid? How could you possibly get the
hair tightly enough tied to not slip out for a year (that's what they
claim with this stuff right?)? Ohh I can see the future. I'll have pinch braids way in the back nowhere near the edge or parts. Then rings, then shrinkies, then 'invisible strands.' I can't wait! |

Huh. So you tie a few strands of the hair together? How do you untie them when it's time to take them out? -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

Wow, I'm interested too! Does it really last for a year? ------------- That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Hapiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria! |

Here's the agape site that does this method. I've talked to the owner before about this method but in the end decided not to go with it.
She has more pics on her site. http://www.agapecollection.com/technique.htm - http://www.agapecollection.com/technique.htm http://www.agapecollection.com/blk%20and%20chrome/strand.htm - http://www.agapecollection.com/blk%20and%20chrome/strand.htm
