QuoteReplyTopic: best micro links to use? Posted: April 26 2006 at 8:11pm
Hi everyone. I'm just about ready to try doing my own extensions with micro rings/linkies. Which ones do you all find to slip the least? I know there has to be enough hair in them, and clamped shut tightly to help prevent slippage. But I was wondering if there is one type?brand in particular that you prefer. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

the silicone lined microrings are the latest new ring product. They have a silicone lining inside the ring that helps protect the hair against damage and seems to help for those who are prone to slipping.
I use dr. locks, I haven't had any real problems with them. I am sure they
are not the best, but they suit me well. The only problem is if you are
trying to open them, they fold over, they don't go back to a circle. But this
is why I like using them, I just apply my fusion wand to it for a few
seconds and it will slide right out! Removing is so easy this way! And no
damage so far!

The silicone lined microrings are amazing. I wore them my last
install and lost one in the entire 3 months and they didn't slip at
all. I was even able to use conditioner on the top of my head. :)
The take down was easy and they didn't fold over.
With the extentubes I had with the previous install I lost at least 5
everytime I washed my hair, but I have slippery fine curly hair. They
also were a pain to take out.
Wearing 22" 8oz Tease I tips installed with silicone microrings.

the dr.locks slid on my hair, i'd say a good 1/3 - 1/2 of the rings slipped. this was even after gong through and donig a final clamp once i was done. they folded like mad with me to.
naked eye: what the blazes do you do with a wand and microrings to get them out? i just can't imagine.
what I'm wearing: 1 pkg 18" DLux SS #2 and protac

misslou, you just hit the microrings with the hot wand and the rings soften and come right out......right naked eye? PS: this is a great tip, that I didn't know about until Naked Eye mentioned it!

Magin - I guess so! I think that's the case for some reason, because the
only time I've noticed that I lose strands is if my flat iron is really hot, and
I go over the links and pull or comb harshly the length of the hair. Not
sure why.
