My stylist always takes the weft and doubles it on it self and braids basically double weft onto my braid? Is this normal? She claims that if she doesn't do this my weave will look to thin and "jacked up". Only reason I ask is because sometimes it makes my hair look almost "too thick" to me. I actually had someone cut and place my clip in weave recently and she didn't do this and my hair looked just as nice. Just wondering if this was general practice or something more rare?
How do you weave? Doubling up??

Go all the way to the bottom of my blog if you want to see what happens when your stylist doesn't do use this technique...(there are other things wrong with the technique in the picture as well but this is one practice that she didn't do)
My NEW stylist does single..double..single..double so it will have some thickness to it.

Even when I get that type of weave, I still prefer to place single tracks

I've never had my tracks doubled but I know stylists that do it. If you're good,. it won't matter.

This answers alot of my questions. I'm wearing my first sew in. I never knew that you were supposed to leave your hair out in between tracks. At first I thought my stylist did it wrong.
My tracks are also doubled. At first I thought it was too thick. I'm so used to it now, but I really wanted it singled at first.
I plan on getting a full sew in next time and I like the idea of double, single, etc.
Thanks ladies.

You don't have to. It depends on what style you're going for. I've always had my hair braided (and not left out between the tracks) and it looked fine. But if you're just adding some tracks for fullness or to add color you can leave your hair out inbetween to blend.
Yeah I think I like this idea too....we'll see how much hair I can afford...lol
Also, interesting how you said you didn't like the doubled up look but now you're used to it. I think the SAME thing happened to me, basically from what stylist said, it just gets flatter with time, so that's why she made it so thick to begin with. This install i'm keeping in for a short amount of time so I don't think that logic can work this time...but u reminded me that's one of the reasons she said she doubled it like that
