Infusion Hairline: Beyond the Invisible Part

 Pictured is a sew-in weave with the invisible part area glued with the infusion hairline technique.  Special thanks to my classmate who allowed me to capture her infusion hairline prior to the start of class.

Believe it or not, I was one of the original creators of the invisible part.  The technique caught on fast and others are continuing to perfect it.

 Platform Artist Travis White starts the quickweave with dry hair.  Based on his clients' feedback, they say that they encounter less itching by starting the quickweave with dry hair versus the wet mold process.

 Travis prefers the wrap strips and weave cap for quickweaves.  It is not breathable, but it is definitely quicker than the "protection serums" and their drying time.

 Clients typically wear quickweave for 2 to 3 weeks at a time.  Those who "work-out" in the bed or workout in the gym  (i.e. heavy sweating) may get some stocking cap slippage.  Otherwise, this method should hold up.

 The 27 piece or 28 piece weaving kit is core for giving contrasting style.

 Travis "The Great" does not like closures or closure pieces so he places tracks and builds to have track to cover track.

 This is the back of the finished style.

This is the front of the finished style showcasing a partial infusion hairline along the bang area plus the 27 piece clippered down with a 001 clipper head going in the direction of the weave placement pinching some of the hairline to give a piecy effect.

As far as flat iron recommendations go, Travis the Great recommends the Red Pro Titanium 460 flat iron.  He cautions about the heat temperatures.  He reminds us that 350 degrees is enough to bake a cake so careful with the heat.  The Red Pro Titanium 460 flat iron can reach 460 degrees.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know that I did not tell you how to achieve the Infusion hairline . . .  because I do not want you all to "Do it Yourself" (DIY).  I want you to book your quickweave with infusion hairline appointment with me.  Big Smile.  Or you can buy DVDs from the www.watchmeworkhair.com  team.

This class was a part of the 2013 mid-Winter Bronner Brothers International Hair show.

A New Look at the 27 piece quick weave

Actress Halle Berry was my inspiration for this quick weave hairstyle. It was achieved by performing the 27 piece gluefree quickweave method with invisible part. Questions about 27 piece quick weave? Please see my article on 27 piece weave. Questions about gluefree quickweave? Please see my article on the gluefree quickweave method. This look took about three hours for me to complete including the washing, molding, and final styling. I used the invisible part method to assist with my shaping. Please see my article on invisible part quick weave. I did use a few longer tracks from another package of commercial hair in order to give me the accent pieces and the "swoop!" I also used the closure piece that was included in the 27 pieces package. I completed the invisi-part before completing the final closure. I added a only a little of the colored hair. The primary color is 1B and the accent red color was #118.

The mannequin had shorter and slightly thin hair so the quickweave laid flat. I was absolutely thrilled at the beauty of the 27 pieces. The hair is already pre-curled for you! I had to hot iron the longer pieces from a different package to blend into the 27 piece hair, but I did not clipper cut. I used my shears to blend in the longer pieces, then just finger styled. Hairspray and styling spritz were also used. I absolutely adore this look!

Commercial Hair Review: 27 pieces Quick weave

So what is a 27 piece? It is a quick weave hairstyle. The hair is pre-packaged into three bundles plus a closure. Two of the bundles have 9 thin wefts rolled up. The longer length bundle only has 8 thin wefts rolled up. 9 times 2 equals 18 pieces. Then add the 8 piece bundle plus the closure to get 27 pieces.

You do not have to use all 27 pieces. The hair is already curled. There are quite a few youtube videos on how to complete a 27 pieces hairstyle. You can get the Halle Berry look with this 27 pieces. If you want more length, then buy an extra package of longer hair 8" or 10" and use in the bang and top area for a edgy, sophisicated look. You can mix curly hair through the top and the 27 pieces around the perimeter.

This style is on my bucket list. Smile. I always wanted to get a Halle Berry look that is customized to my head! Please see my articles on gluefree quickweave application before you begin to experiment with the 27 pieces.
