OK, so I got some of these things. The blue peel-back ones.
Now what? Do I double them over, do I cut them lengthwise, do I sandwich them in? Orange remover takes them out, right? I peeled back a small section and I about adhered myself to the strip for life. Hang it in a tree out front and I bet I would find humans stuck to it like flies. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Hey Amm, put some of that great hair that you have on a small section of those strips and then hang it from a tree, I bet people would be fighting each other just to get stuck!!

Gsmile that's flipping hilarious LOL Amm kindly sent me these. I was far to busy installing the Lush hair that came with them to look at them but last night I had a distraught client who had her extensions out and wanted them straight back in but couldn't afford them. I'd filled my head up so much with Amm's Lush hair that I hadn't left any room but for a tiny strip to test these strips myself so being the kind sole and because I had some spare 613 & 10 machine weft bohyme I told this client she could indeed have her hair back in if she would be kind enough to trial these strips for me. Anyway I got to grips with using them first. You peel off the blue backing and you'll see the white backing is in two halfs so to speak, you then fix your weft to one half and then fold the other over so you have your weft and then white backing on one side of it and white back on the other side, then I parted the clients hair, peeled off one side of the white backing and stuck it to her parting, then I pressed really hard and worked the adhesive into her hair. Then peel off the other white strip and then section down a tiny layer of hair from the top just like in Sherrie's sandwiche method and stick it down over the sticky bit with a metal tail comb. I used three rows of hair in the back and two in the sides. She's going to report to me how many times she washes her hair and how long these things last and if they really last between 3 and 6 weeks. I've also popped a tiny 2inch section at the top of my head to see how that wears too, so I'll keep you guys posted on both. No more tears from the client xx

between the tape? How do you reuse the hair? Seems interesting... ------------- Why not have a great hair day??? |

Those are tapes for hair pieces, and they are meant to attach to the polyurathane of the hairpiece and someone's bald head. I wonder how they will stay attached to the thread like top on a weft?

I'm very confused now. On the hairdirect website is says the pro-flex strips are for the strongest hold and I'm also confused about your application method Cyber, you say you stick some on the clients head and then weave some hair and then stick some on the weft and then stick, can you explain this to me. I just put it on the weft and then stuck it to the client's parting and then pulled down a layer of hair???? xx ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Amanda, do you use the whole 1 1/2 inch width of tape or do you cut it?
Is that too wide as is? Also, do you put the track right on the tape? Do you center the track on the tape or put it at the top on the tape? Finally (sorry for all the questions...) do you use a machine weft or hand weft? Just wondering about how the size of the machine weft will work with the tapes.

She text me this morning and she's had them in 2 weeks and has washed her hair 6 times and they are still going strong, so it looks like they do work at least for 2 weeks and 6 washes so far.

Hi there Koffee, they look nearly identical except the blue tape on the strips I've got has no holes in and the white side already sits in two half so you can press one side over the weft and press onto the hair and then peel off the other side. That's brilliant Metal. I'm sure these must be the same things. My clients hair looked so good and so secure after three weeks, not bad going to say I just used a regular machine weft too and not the seamless x ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Amanda, YAY! u have been my motivation to try this with wefts. I
already have euroflex tape which holds lacefront for 3 wks (and I was
told is same as proflex). I ordered some red liner last week and when i
get that, I will try it with redliner as base and euroflex on weft (as
in tress allure video). Amanda, if i remember correctly, u said u did your test client w/ just the proflex tape right, NO redliner.. So I'm guessing combined w/ red liner it should really hold great! Can't wait to see. ------------- K-B |

Wow, I'm impressed that you are getting machine wefts to hold only with Pro Flex! You may be on to something.... Marie, the seamless wefts have hair injected into very flat polyurathane. The ole epoxy trick just may work, it's worth a try! ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Tangles - Amm has done this on the other thread. You wash your hair as normal but don't condition around the tapes. My client has had hers in 4 weeks now and 11 washes. You use oil or leave in conditioner to get them out.xxx ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Hmm, out of curiosity, does anyone know if these pro-flex II rolls are the same strength of tape as the pro-flex strips Amm and Amanda have used for weft installs? - http://www.mhrw.com/c_proflexII.html - http://www.mhrw.com/c_proflexII.html |

| Not yet Kirsty, I don't know if the rolls are the same thing so I'll probably end up getting some of the strips from ebay. Wish they weren't so expensive :/ |

Emily - I'm not sure if they have the same hold as the Pro-Flex. The tape has been shipped to me but I haven't gotten it yet. I won't even know how good it really is until I actually wear it.
This Pro-Flex is rockin tho. It's still holding very well at 3 weeks. I bet this can easily go 5 weeks. My supplier is sending me Lush on a seamless weft to try. If it holds as good as Pro-Flex, I'm going to pee myself. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| I just ordered a set from Cybermane for $175.00, I'll let you know what I think as soon as they get here. I still have about 100 locs in and will install as soon as I am over the pain from removing the junkie locs (DR LOCS). |

They make it stick better. I have a spoon for my 2 year old that has holes
it in and the food sticks better. Same idea. Something about the
way the air moves... ------------- Why not have a great hair day??? |
