I am planning on installing 4-6 rows of handtied wefts with silicone lined microrings next week (sewing them on) and I was wondering, I get the most invisable extension with wefts, any strand by strand technique I use has been visable, has anyone else experienced this?

Definitely. The wefts lay flatter to my head, and although I love
my strand by strand installs nothing beats how close to the top of my
head I can put a weft in. I'm not sure about installing with the
silicone microrings, since I imagine it would have the same visibility
as strand by strand microrings. I installed my sisters hair with
shrinkies and wefts....but for the top I used strand by strand
shrinkies. The weft methods I have tried so far have all been
bonded with some kind of sticky stuff. My favorite install so far was with the silicone microrings (so far I have latex glue, liquid gold, protac, extentubes, shrinkies, and silicone microrings under my belt) but I did put them up high and if I didn't do some strategic styling a few would always manage to fine their way out lol. I have yet to fine my weft showing, although now I am using the handtied there was extra string that I didn't take care of and did notice a nice blonde peice of thread hanging out of the side of my head the other day lol. Good luck!! ------------- Wearing 22" 8oz Tease I tips installed with silicone microrings. |

| I cant tell you how many people said my sewn in weave looks 100 times better than the fusion. The coverager is better in the back and blends better with my hair and you dont see little glue bonds if the wind blows. I can also now wear my hair in more hairstyles than with the fusion |

| I also agree about having wefts in my hair it's less visible. I have tried putting wefts in the back in then a strand method in the front the strand method always ends up showing. I don't know if it's because my hair is thin or what. Has anyone come across a flat, narrow shrin**** ? |

i have also found that wefts are less visible but i like the moveability of the strand by strand.
I think i'll combine the two with my next install ( not that strand by strand ever stays in! i might try pinch braid it!

I second what everyone says! For me, on my thin hair strands look stringy and I can never get enough hair on my head.
I'm a weft girl all the way. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| I agree with everyone that wefts are less visible. However, I don't like the 'stiff' look it gives my hair due to the lack of individual movement, and I also find that it makes my hair on the sides too flat looking. |
