| HI. please help. i had ultratress seamless extensions put in with the tapes and they came out in one week and i loved them to death, they looked and felt terrific. my hair is very thin and fine but i have a decent amount of it. then i had them sandwiched. i have 6 sandwiches in my head. 4 in back and one on each side. they feel tight and in like cement but im not craxy about the bulkiness of it or the tightness. i would like to do it myself in a non damaging way. do you think i should use protac. i just wondered f i did protac without sandwiching(pulling a layer of hair over the weft) if they would stay more than 1 week.. also do you think if i just put the seamless in with the tape on the underside of the weft and had to redo every week do you think that damaging due to having to do so often. or should i get fusion done by someone, please help im so upset i havent even eaten in 2 days. im beside myself. please ehlp with any advice. |

Hi Meinny!
Relax, it's just a hair problems and we have a BIG experience of hair drama on the forum!
On the fusion/tape issue, I would recomment Protac tape or seamless over fusion, I am only talking on my personal experience, I thought fusion was more expensive, more time consuming and more damaging with my own hair than seamless or protac.
I am not sure about what you mean when you say not sandwiching and pulling a layer of hair over the weft, do you mean cutting the tape in half and only using the tape under the weft to stick to your own hair?
If so, I guess it wouldn't stay in so long yeah.. but you can always try.
Maybe you try Liquid Gold, never tried it myself but heard great things about it in terms of visibility and hold.
If you use seamless with the tape only under the weft, it probably won't hold very long, but you can experiment it yourself and see how long it lasts.
I think what you could try is to use only 3 quarters of the Protac tape, you keep the full length of the tape under the weft, and you cut the other half of the tape (the one that's on top) in half. That's what I do with my top rows of Protac, it's less visible and hold great.
Good luck!
