ok.. so first i got some lush pretipped hair in the 613 and some proshells and saw that that the proshells were really obvious in my hair so after seeing how everyone raved about the protac method i got the hair that was on sale at shrinkies.net in the 613 and some shrinkies just so i could do something with all the pretipped hair i had i dont really have a before pic, but here is me with my hair up
before the extensions, you cant really see my hair at all, but it was a
inch or so longer than the longest piece you can see in the picture http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/DSC00113.jpg - http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/DSC00113.jp g so i did three rows of the tape on my right side and two rows on my left and then 3 rows in the back.. then i did some shrinkies here and there to make it blend better wherever i had room to put some in.. heres the tape http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/DSC00210.jpg - http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/DSC00210.jp g you cant really see it at all! here you can see some shrinkies http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/DSC00211.jpg - http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/DSC00211.jp g here is a pic of some hair on the side http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/ha.jpg - http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/ha.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/neda34.jpg - http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/neda34.jpg here it is in a ponytail http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/nedajd.jpg - http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c73/frantic463/nedajd.jpg sorry the pictures kinda suck i was using the camera timer and didnt have anyone to take pics for me and i couldnt angle it to get a back shot for the life of me... im pretty happy with the job i did for my first time, i still need to blend it in though.. in some spots you can tell where the line of demarkation is with my real hair and the fake hair.. i tried cutting it a little but i feeel like i just messed it up anymore.. any suggestions? also.. this is after one wash .everything stayed in!

Hey chick that looks gorgeous, really suits you, its only cos the lush is slightly lighter than you can tell on that side pic but I can't see a difference from the front. Did you double the wefts up x ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

It looks great!!! If you are having trouble blending, just use a razor to razor cut the extension hair only, or us the tips of your sissors and slide them down. It adds some really nice layers and hides the line from extension to your hair. Good job though!!! |

Awesome install!  It looks fantastic!
I'm with ya about cutting & blending the extension hair myself, I feel like I'd totally screw it up. Is it really as easy as running the razor along the hair????? I'm not a stylist, so being able to do it myself seems incomprehensible.
