I was doing a shrinkie fill on my mother, who has extremely fine hair. I changed up my sectionning and I think I hit on something good for extremely thin hair. I did rows of triagles, one pointed up then the next down, so that the extensions never fell open to the scalp in lines. Is anyone else doing this? I thought it really made a difference in her case. It probably wouldn't be worth the effort for a thick haired girl. Cheers |

| I have heard of this technique for full heads of braids. It's supposed to allow less scalp to show. I used triangle sectioning for my braids this winter but I've never used square sectioning for braids so I don't know how it would compare. But soon. so soon. I think I will be using square sections for my tie ins. But this hair deserves a full run first. |

Good explanation mocha chip. It was the pattern they taught us for pin curls at beauty school.

| I'd love to see a photograph of this, sounds neat. (I have really fine hair.) I'll have to go hunting on the web, now. Off I go! |

Yeah, I do that for braids and dreads- it definitely makes it look less scalpy using the exact same section sizes. http://hairalchemy.com/gallery/braids/jordan3.jpg - Here's an example of braids with triangle sectioning. I've never tried it with loose...I can't see it making a difference for anyone with thick or normal hair, but for very thin hair it very well could. Interesting thought. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
