Aww Chris I wish I could help you. I order from a Korean supplier. I have for years and WAS really happy. And in the past 6 months they have became totally unreliable. This last batch of hair was terrible and the service was LOUSY, took me 2 months to get my order. And the company dont give a sh*t! They manufacture and sell in large bulk orders now and to hell with the little orders.....
The best suggestion for HH is to buy the Bohyme or Extensions-Plus hair and pretip your own. Then you can make the tips exactly as you want them!
Sherrie, Hi, I'm somewhat new here, but I would really like to get my hands on some different sizes of pretippes HH. I got hisandher.com, but each one was soooo small. I need it too be a little thicker. Where do you order from? Thanks so much.

I prefer the keratin-tipped pretipped hair, personally- the wax-based
one gets squished apart when you close an extentube/microring on it,
and after a bit of wear the tip comes apart, so you can't re-use the
hair without re-tipping it. Plus shedding is mroe likely when the tip
is coming apart.
Sara: I think pre-tipped is really the best choice, market-wise.
Extentubes/microrings and shrinkies can be used on them without getting
too much keratin glue on the hair, and people can even use them with
fusion if they want- they just have to use a drop of glue form a gun
with the pre-tipped hair. So pre-tipped hair, with just enough glue to
keep the hair together (and not extra, as in pre-bonds), would be a
versatile type of tip that everyone can use, no matter which method
they're applying.
A lot of the pre tipped is not tipped with fusion or keritin but is tipped with some sort of wax. Euro locks sold me the wax chips so I could fix the hair to reuse. Hair extend and short to long seem to be tiped with the same. Melt the ends of there's and you can tell by how liquid like it get's . I think it was Bliss hair that said there pre tip was silicone. Just some more options : )

Sara. It can be done by hand. I've even debated setting up
a service for people before because it's so expensive to buy
pretipped/prebonded hair. But I think to make it reasonable for
volume distribution you'd need one of the machines that does it.
Hence informing your supplier...
Typically if you buy hair pretipped or prebonded it is glued with a
keratin fusion glue. It has to be fusion glue for nail(prebonded
hair). But a variety of things get the job done for pre tipping.
The other thing is deciding what size (how much hair) the tips should be.
I'll email you later since I need to regarding the color ring anyhow.
oh this is beeing a bit annoying!
my regual supplier doesnt know the technique/materials
and the other doesnt want to pretipp my hair, only their own one,
and they only got 20 colours or so...urgh!
i know you discussed here several times about manuals
and how to do..
but maybe i can discuss that issue with someone whos the expert
by email?
i guess i would have to do sample and buy the material
and then send it to my supplier..
: )
pitty i did not thought about that when i was in korea myself!
I agree: There'd definitely be more demand for pretipped, not
preguled/nail. You can use pretipped with extendtubes (microrings) and
shrinkies, which are both very popular and DIY-friendly. With preglued,
you can only do fusion, which is usually more damaging to the hair. :)

Sara - Great Lengths uses pre-bonded. A lot of us here seem to be moving more toward pre-tipped rather than pre-bonded. It seems that a bit less glue gets into the natural hair, and the shrinkies/extentubes hold really well. However, bonds certainly have their place as well!!
