Are skin wefts and seamless extension systems the same?

If not - which one is the least detectable and least damaging?

Finally - are they available with good quality hair?

 

Thanx!

I think there is a difference between skin weft and seamless.

I am no expert but I have made research on both.

The skin weft still has a weft, although very small and not too visible.

The seamless looks like it doesn't have a weft. The hair is connected to a transparent sort of plastic tape, so when you apply it on the hair, it looks like it grow from your own scalp.

That's why protac is recommended for lower rows, and seamless for top rows.

Protac is more economical, because you can use whatever hair, replace it etc.

With seamless, you have to use seamless hair only, which is more expensive maybe in the end.

I am about to receive seamless hair from glamourhair.com, in straight, length 18', so I will do the install someday soon.

I'll keep you posted!

 

 

Skin wefts are more expensive than wefted hair and the visablity issues are usually only a concern in the upper rows or crown area, so thats why alot of times people will suggest to use the skin wefts for the top rows.

Thanks for the info. It is very helpful. 

I read awhile back that Metalgirl had a horrible experience with Pro-tac.  and then others loved them.  What is the best way to remove them. Is there something that takes them out without experiencing the hair loss that Metalgirl did? If I lose what she did I would probably end up bald!  So I have been a bit nervous after reading that. 

Did you experience that?

Also, with the hair that is availble in skin wefts, can you recommend a reputable place that offers good quality hair.  I want the skin wefts just for the top.

Thanks again for the help.

:) 

I noticed that too.   The seamless has that clear tape where the skin wefts have the strip that looks like your scalp. So I was not sure which one was better.  I think the "skin wefts" look more natural - does that clear tape on the seamless show. It looks kinda shiny???

Will you add any more adhesive to your skin wefts?

 

  Sherri, do you have a product that removes this pro tac tape?   Does this tape attach to the hair just before the scalp or actually on the scalp?

 

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks everyone  :)

Ok, maybe I am not yat awake, but I think you confuse the 2.

 

Skinweft is: small tiny weft, and you use them with the protac method (the clear tape as you said), chek out sherrie's demos for protac

 

Seamless is : the one that is the most descrete, but more expensive, with a transparent strip where the hair is attached.

 

I hope I make this more clear!

I  did notice a difference between them so I wan't sure which one was better.  I will look them up again and take a closer look.

Ok so is it seamless that is better for the top closest to your part - and the adhesive provided is sufficient?

Sorry if I sound brain dead....I am just now having my coffee. lol

Thanks

I can't tell you more about the adhesive from seamless, I am going to do my first install this week, so I'll let you know!

I just know that Protac has had great reviews and seams to have many advantages: cheap, easy to put on yourself, you can use any kinds of hair, and easy to remove

Because I have extremely fine and fragile hair I don't think protac would be discrete enough for me, I think it would show.

Maybe if the Seamless method work to me, I'll try the protac on the lower rows!

I have to try protac soon anyway, I am too curious, I like to try new things!

 

 

the clear strip or material is on the other side, that attaches to your hair. You need to use an adhesive or tape with them. Skin weft/ seamless weft same thing.

Keep  me posted on your install - pics would be great too!

 

Sherrie... love pictures - that really helps! thank you!

What product is recommended to remove the protac without ripping your hair out?  I have some of Amm's orange shrinkie remover stuff and that worked really well.  Will this do the trick?

 

 

 

Yes, Im sure acetone is drying. But for me...I do less damage becuase the acetone works FAST and the wefts and tape slide right out. When I use other removers that might be gentler, they dont work that well and I end up doing my damage by picking pulling and being impatient.

 

For those who like acetone for removal, a good conditioning afterwards is good.

 

Each of these products has varying results for different people.

I think with seamless the adhesive tape is only "under" your hair, if you want, that's why it appears less when applied.

With skinweft there's a tiny weft and a transparent tape under and above the hair your apply.

Thanks for the pics Sherrie!

 

 

I did not lose hair because the Protac removal was difficult.  In fact, with the orange oil, they came out quite easily.  I lost hair because my hair roots are just too weak to support any kind of permanent extension.  There are some people with genetically weak hair that will sustain damage from whatever method you put on them, and therefore they aren't good candidates for extensions. 

 

If your hair is not genetically thin/fine and the roots don't get 'root pull' easily, than I'm sure that Protac will work fine for you.

 

PS- after week 3 I had insane constant itching with Protac, so keep in mind that some people will have reactions to certain adhesives.

I would like to show a pic of a supposed "skin" weft that I received in one of my recent orders. I had ordered skin weft, but I received this hair- which is def. not a skin weft.

 

 

 

THIS is what I believe to be the "seamless" weft that people have been referring to. I MAY be incorrect- I have not seen a weft like this before I received this order- however, I would certainly use the term seamless to describe this weft.

It is very thin and will be excellent to use for the top/crown areas.

It has an adhesive backing on it- but more adhesive (such as pro-tac pro-flex pro-tape) or a dollop of LG will be needed to hold it securely.

Has anyone else had any experience with this sort of weft?

 

 

 

I think different manufacturers and suppliers use the term skin weft or seamless weft. And Im sure different manufacturers wefts can vary in construction.

Thanks for the info.

This seamless hair looks terrible!!

Tell us where you got it from, so we don't make the same mistake!!

I hope my seamless hair from Glamourhair will look better!

 

The skin weft is the material used in place of a sewn weft. (or handtied)

 

 

The stretchy material (aka skin weft) in the photo above is a polyurythane stretch rubber fabric. Then the hair is handtied in to give the appearance of hair growing.

Well, If you read my complaint on Glamourhair.com you'll see that I'll have to wait a few more weeks before receiving the Seamless Hair from them.

I'll try to send picture when I try it on!
