Or an easier thing would be Micro-links, a tool for install/removal is about $8.00 and the links are about, uh, $10.00? Depending on how many you get, you also need a threader, about $4.00, these are MUCH easier on install and removal then Shrink links!

Those LOOF ones are awesome! Trust me you should use this over a flat iron! AND you can make your own pre-tips with these! Saves you lot$!

Just make sure you have adhesive lined Shrink Links!

It takes mine about 10 seconds to seal.

BUY YOURSELF A HEAT DISC PROTECTOR THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are very cheap, but my god, it saved the my skin from burns!

I then use my comb or hard plastic thing to press the hot shrink link against to plastic disc to flatten it out while it's still super hot, I tried the finger proecters that AMM sells but did not like them, her shrink links are awesome!
 Then after that, I roll it and slide the disc out.
You'll want some metal clips too, to hold the disc in place.

it can be done but from everything I've heard its more cumbersome and dosen't do nearly as good of a job as a fusion wand.

I'm thinking of purchasing some shrinkies in black and doing the bottom (near the neck) in that method to stop my own hair sticking out.  Do I need the special fusion guns for the shrinkies or can I "seal" them with my ceramic flat iron? They shrink with heat right? I've read all the demos but none of them indicate that you can substitute the fusion wand. I just resent spending $40 on a ANOTHER hair appliance Big%20smile
 
Has anyone tried sealing them with a regular flat iron?
