Thats the hair that is left after tying it to the string/s. Like, you have to have some hair overhang or it'll just slip out. ------------- ^..^ |

It's called the beard.. It's the foldover when the hair is wefted.. ------------- Check out the 5th So Cal offline luncheon?? For more info: divahairtalk.overthehillweb.com/lunch.html Links to my fav vendors & hair albums + Weave 101 information: divahairtalk.overthehillweb.com |

Has anyone figured out why Wagman's wefts don't have a beard?

| I understand why the beard needs to be there however its probably my biggest complaint about wearing wefts as those little hairs can kind of poke and itch near the scalp. Its not terrible but noticeable. The hair Im wearing now is very fine so its not too bad. Im wondering though if the hair was courser, would it become unbearable? |

Beard is a newer term. In the past they were always called returns.
Don't know how they keep the hair on the strings without a foldover.. Maybe tight bonding glue? ------------- http://hawaiianhairextensions.com - http://hawaiianhairextensions.com |

| That's a good question krimsa. I hate how the "beard" (thanks ladies!) feels. It really can feel itchy sometimes. |

Hi Moki..
I actually heard it referred to as a "register" but I am not sure that was just specific to the vendor I was talking to.
I actually like the term "beard". It is very descriptive. ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |

| I like beard also because it looks like a little beard lol. As the wefts loosen and move down from new growth it can become more noticeable and scratchy. But when compared with bonds it doesnt seem nearly as bad to me. Bonds bug me a lot because there is so many of them and I always want to play with them and pull at them when they grow out. |
