For any of us with fine hair that sometimes find it harder to hide the wefts/tracks right at the back top of the head Ive found these little tricks help.

 

My hair is fine and my layers arent that long, so the first picture is NO extensions: YIKKKES. You can see the shortest layers. This trick works well if your hair at the top naturally brushes back as you can see in the 2nd picture (please excuse the stupid look, as I was making fun of myself in the picture)

 

 

 

 

Here is the result that I can get using this placement method. There is absolutely NO cutting or blending done to the hair in this picture: I used 22 inch hair all all rows except on the top U row and the short rows at the top, those are 18 inch hair

 

And here are pictures that I used MS paint to show how I placed rows. The U is the top row of my extensions and the lines at the back represent short rows that I added on the top back of my head. The extra rows fall really nice and hide the short layers. This is the easy version of the rows.

 

And here is the usual placement pattern I use with the short side rows and then with the top back rows added:

 

(Please forgive these terrible MS paint demos, but it was all a had to work with at the moment)

 

This placement works well for the first 3/4 weeks for me. When my roots start getting dark, its always harder & more work  to hide the wefts in the crown area due to the difference in color near the roots with my finer hair. Also protac doesnt work well for me in this area. LG alone or tape/LG together works out well for me in the crown.

 

My next install I will be using this method again and I may try coloring top inch of the weft to a darker blond to help with the root color. Also Im thinking about trying the reserve method of install on those top back rows to help hide the track.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nursie, the rows dont intersect perfectly...I try to keep them as neat as possible and as close as I can  but they arent exact science!  (Im not THAT good)

 

I think I am gonna try the LG on the top rows of my next install, just to see how undetectable liquid gold is compared to Protac.

The protac rows that never want to stay in long are the bottom ones for me. Funny how people have such fifferent experience w/ Protac!

 

 

This method works for me sometimes....sometimes it dont. I  And you need an EXACT color match as your roots, and enough hair on top to cover the tracks. I do like this method because I can leave the hair one length and dont even need layers if I dont want to layer. But most times my root color is much too brassy and the #613 wefts stick out too much that close to the top.

 

What is the reserve method?  I'm still trying to get the crown thing down.  I have finally gotten an exact color match still dealing with crown issues.  You always help so many of us out here!  Cheers.

 

Wonder how reverse method would be using tape and/or LG...  In theory sounds good right?
