Ok, so I am trying something new, I've always did the strand by strand, I
like microlinks the best so far, so I'm thinking I will stick with that route. I really want something thicker and fuller, and with the microlinks sometimes I feel like I've attached every strand, and even doubled up strands, and it still looks thin. So I'm wondering if possibly some wefts would be better, maybe then some individuals towards the top. I was looking at AMMs bohyme. Has anyone tried this? I need some feed back. Also, since I've never did the weft thing, do I just buy one? Can I cut this one up (I know it's something like machine tied you can cut, and hand tied you can't, or is it the other way around?) Anyone who can help with anything, hair that's good, if wefts are a good idea for me, anything like that, it would help me tons!! EDIT: Oh yeah, and I just saw the elite remy, how do they compare? |

| Hi, I bought Bohyme from Hairsisters, and I did sew in wefts in the back, and I used shrinkies on the sides up front. I found that the wefts gave me a lot more coverage. I actually doubled some of the wefts for even more thickness. I went over the entire weft with clear nail polish to try to reduce shedding. It doesn't shed badly at all. The machine wefts can be cut with scissors, its the hand tied you are not supposed to cut. I see a lot of ladies giving rave reviews on pro tac. That may work if you are not into the sew in thing. Oh, the hair seems pretty decent, not much shedding, though the very bottom tends to get tangled, but that could be because of coats, sweaters, etc during the winter. I am loving the shrinkies too, but I hate pretipping that darned hair, and I'm too cheap to purchase pre tipped. I have like six rows of sewed in wefts, the the front on either side is shrinkies. Then it was still looking a bit thin, so I slapped another couple of rows on top of the shrinkies. Whatever works right? |

Yeah, the coverage sounds good, that's what I want. I think I am going to
try to attach the weft with microlinks, the glue stuff still kinda scares me  How much do you usually buy? It doesn't seem to sell them buy
number of wefts you want, but buy weight, haha, wayy too confusing for me! Thanks for all your help carla! |

| Hi, the machine weft for the Bohyme was one long weft. It was 4oz, so I ordered two of them for a half pound. The wefts are a bit thin, so I needed the thickness. I didn't use the entire second package thogh. You will have to let me know how the microlinks work out, I've never tried that method before. Oh, I have never tried the Elite remy hair, but I've had just plain old indian remy hair, and it was pretty nice. It never, never tangled on me, but my dislike was that it got really soft after I washed it, and no longer blended with my texture of hair. But it was very nice hair. |

Great, sounds wonderful, so 2-4oz packets. I am so excited! I probably
wont do it until later in spring, (haha, if I can actually wait that long, which I probably wont) but I will post pictures and tell you how it went! Thank you so much for your help!! |
