It doesn't say what it's called, but the lady sort of vaguely explains what the stylist is doing. Taking a bit of hair and tying it with thread, putting a knot in the thread and so on. After that she just sews the weave on.
Again, she stays a bit vague... . ------------- I learn to love and try to understand everyone I meet. I see the rainbow hiding in their eyes.

this method actually looks quite effective :) ... What does everyone else think? Anyone tried it? Looks like the weft is really thick... -------------

The only thing that would worry me would be slippage. How long does it last etc.

| I'm going to try a diff version of it soon, ussing small dental rubber bands instead of thread since it's a DIY track. I'll post pics n all when I get around to it - I have to hand-tie my weft first. |

I don't know, it looks kind of painful to me... . I could be wrong, of course  ------------- I learn to love and try to understand everyone I meet. I see the rainbow hiding in their eyes.

I believe that's the Malaysian method, I'll have to check my hair videos. It's good if you don't know how to cornrow. Some people do it for a flatter foundation. It doesn't have to be as tight as that. Cornrowing is faster and you can get a flat braid with it too. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

Do you think its easy to do.....it's just knotting sections of hair from one side of the head, to the other working steadily across right? i wonder if you'd need a specific type of thread to obtain least slippage. I'm actually intrigued by this method! I might try it out if i can get my hands on a manequin head that had more than half its haif left

I believe they use weave thread the type you use to sew in tracks.
I'll check now for my video. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |
