| Has anyone tried to make clip-ins out of the Elite Remy Micro-Wefts? I'm thinking of getting some for this purpose, but am worried the wefts will be too small to sew clips onto. Help? |

| The wefts are definitly not too small, I think that they look like standard machine wefts, but with no beard. |

The wefts are tiny, but-even though I know squat about making clip ins-I
think they would work... I tried sewing microlinks onto the wefts just to make sure I could in case the protac didn't work out for me. It was tough, but It worked! I would imagine it is similar, just sewing it on to a clip. |

Thanks ladies :) Naked Eye - if I remember correctly you got the 'natural body' right? How wavy do you find it after washing? x |

Yeah, it's really not as wavy as you would think. I think I have pictures of
how it looked when I bought it. It's like a very slight wave, but after washing it a few times, and just letting it air dry, it would look like scrunched hair. So far it curls nicely, which was my aim. |

You cannot sew through the weft. Your thread needs to be under the wefting and over the top to attach to clips.
Here's a couple wefts of the natural body opened up to see what it looks like.  ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| Thanks for posting those pictures Amm. Do you have any photos of the 'french body' or 'soft wave'? I'm not sure what texture to order. I think I want it a bit wavier than the natural body, but not curly, if that makes sense? |

Hi Amm, Are these two wefts just two wefts or do you have a few wefts laying on top of eachother? I'm wondering because if the brown or blond is just one weft it looks like there's a lot of hair on the weft and I would love to know where you got them!! |

I have photos of all the textures. Email me and I'll be glad to send them. :)
Those are two separate wefts and they are about 2oz each. Each one is doubled over in the pic. I made clips out of my http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/amm94117/eliteremydec05.jpg - last install (using the french body) after takedown and I used Liquid Gold to adhere them to the clips. Followed up with a bit of thread through the clip holes and under the wefting. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Wow Amm!!! Those picts are gorgeous! Do you sell these wefts? Naked Eye, did you buy your Elite wefts from Amm? What type of hair is it? Are they a machine weft? How wide do they come? Thanks  |

| NakedEye, Are you wearing Pro tac or clip-ins? I was wondering which you prefer. |

I was wearing pro-tacs with clips in the top. This works out great for me.
Clips alone don't stay too well in my hair, and the protacs keep them from sliding. But pro-tacs alone didn't work because I couldn't go high up as I wanted to without looking like I had brain surgery !!  So the combo
is lovely! And yes, I bought it from AMM, it's really lovely hair. I'm really happy with it. |

Hey Naked Eye, So were the pro tacs glued to your hair and you had the clips? I don't understand  |
