I am on a quest to grow out my pixie short hair. I will be hennaing for streghth and conditioning and using boundless tresses on my scalp but meanwhile I want to pretend like I have just below shoulder length hair so I'm gonna weave it/use extensions. However I want to eperiment with the non traditional sew in weave cuz I'll scratch my scalp off along with the hair:burn:. Soo.....

1. My hair ranges in length from 1 1/2 to 3 inches with my short pixi cut. I will be getting a custom integration with hair from hisandhers.com either french refined cuticle or European wave cuticle wich is curlier.

A custom integration is human hair hand stitched into a net one hair at a time, the net has 1/2" holes (similar material to the net weave nets only the holes are bigger). The integration is stretched over your head and sewn into the foundation.

The foundation will be a single braid/cornrow around the perimeter of your head or one single pole track around your head. Then your own hair is pulled through the holes and integrated with the hair extension. It is re-tightened every 30 to 60 days depending on hair growth. This will be my first integration.

Has anyone hear ever had an integration?
Can human extension hair be hennaed while it’s on your head?

2. I know you’ll gonna ask :poke: how is a weave done using only one braid or one pole track:

Here is an example of a net weave using only one braid as the foundation to secure the hair to (only they use a different kind of net and do not pull the hair through) it has 2 pages: http://public.fotki.com/cutebajangirl/net_weave/

Here is and example of a pole track: http://www.hisandher.com/howdo_weaving_14.asp

The purpose of using only one braid or one pole track is because they are very flat and it will allow the scalp and hair to breath. Less lumps and bumps ect…

3. Does anyone know what this specific technique is by this specific person (at the link below). I know others call their weave technique the same thing but I’m not interested in their technique I want to know if anyone knows how to do Lishas malaysian method and how she does it? She claims it is the flattest and most undetectable no, braids, glue etc….

I'm not familiar with this method of weaving but if you go to the forum on blackhairmedia.com you can get a lot of information on weaves.
