Ok, I know I spelled "microlink" wrong in the subject line but I can't fix it...... grrrrr
I'm going to take Amm's advice (again ) and post some listings on ebay so I made a tutorial for perspective customers and I thought I'd share it with all of you. I'll probably post this in my "funky colors for sale" thread so you'll probably see it twice.
This is how I install my extensions except I use a threading needle instead of the wire. I don't sell the needles but I can give my buyers the wire so I chose to picture it that way.
Sorry for all the watermarking on my pictures lately; I'm thinking of starting my own website here soon and I don't want them stolen.
Applause, Kristin! That's excellent--very, very easy to understand! I think it'd be a great idea for you to launch your own Web site. You've already been so helpful here and on Quinnster's, and your before-and-afters are amazing, too! I've never seen a tutorial with the thread technique before--only with the threading needle.
Good idea about watermarking the pictures, too; they'd be stolen in a heartbeat (I've acutally seen my own "after" in the galleries of extensionists I've never even met!). Ninety-five percent of online hair sellers are garbage, so it would be so great to have someone reputable selling extensions in cyberspace!
Fabulous! That looks really really good. I don't think I've ever seen that with thread.
Good luck with the eBay thing. I have only seen entire wefts sold and you may be the first to have strand by strand available in fun colors.
Yeah, put your name/email address whatever all over those photos. Just this past week I came across someone selling weft hair on eBay and she had Hairlocs and Great Lengths photos representing her wefts. I wrote to her and told her to knock it off and now she's using pictures she lifted off Texas Beauty Supply. I guess she doesn't think anyone can recognize this stuff.
Kristin, I've never use a hair template, although one extensionist I went to used one (that was with a fusion technique). I assume this is designed to isolate the hair so you don't get any stray strands in the mix. I know it's essential when you're doing fusion, but I didn't know it was used for extendtubes or shrinks. I was just wondering if you could elaborate on this a bit--opinions, observations.
I know what you mean about using it for fusion but I have also found it very helpful when doing other methods. Using the template assurs me that there are no stray hairs getting crimped in the link. It also allows me to feel more free with my hands because I can isolate the hair I want to attach the extension to and then have two free hands to grab the link and the extension strand. I guess it's all about prefrence
i love your picture Kristine, your hair looks great! you example for the extensions, is that hairlocs or eurolocs? what is that method called? and do you only do that technique with synthetic hair? where can i get those plastic things that you crimp down the hair with? thanks!!!!
They are called extendtubes. They are similar to the hair/euro locks system only they are not made of copper and don't turn your hair green (like the hair locks do). You can buy them in bulk at hairpiece.com or if you only need a few I can sell you some for $.15 each.
I use human hair but synthetic should work just as good
