Hi! Just a quick question:
When sewing on machine wefts, should they sew through the top of the weft or loop around it?
(Lately i've been getting massive amounts of shedding & am wondering if this isnt the reason why)
Thanks !

They should be looping around it. Sewing through it could be the cause of more shedding than normal. But then again, it could just be a poorlly constructed weft. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

I don't think sewing through the weft would lead to excessive shedding. If you are wearing a machine weft, I would recommend that you use the weft sealer that Sherrie sells.
When I sew on machine wefts I usually do sew through the wefts, and shedding has not been a big problem. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

So w/Sherrie's weft sealer, should i put that on the entire top, or just wear it's cut?
thanks

Actually MetalGirl, what I meant to ask is this:
If i paint on the weft sealer on the top, wont it dry so thickly that it'll be impossible for her to sew through it ?
Thanks !

The weft sealer is very thin and will penetrate/soak into the track. It doesnt 'sit' on top or make it thick. You would brush on a thin coat of the sealer along the track. The sealer will help with normal shedding and may even slow down shedding from a poorly constructed weft. But if its a poorly constructed weft, even a weft sealer may not completely stop the shedding. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

I would say to get Aleens Fray Check or Dritz Stop Fraying. Anytime when you are installing a weave you should seal the wefts. It prevents the hair from shedding! ------------- www.myspace.com/netteo81 www.fotki.com/ifeyini |
