Micro-rings?

are micro links and hairlocs the same thing? if not what is the difference?

 

any hints on my first install? I have dome in my fringe that badly need replacing and was going to use them for that

 

i will als get some shrinkies - i have heard some ppl say that you can use a straightener to put these in? I dont have the heating tool at the moment....

What about linkies? I am thinking about trying those and I need as much information as possible before I go off trying something new.  Will it damage your hair?

 

I on the otherhand have no problem with micro-rings.  depending ont he size and color (and color chipping resistivity) you may be able to use them in your bangs/fringe.  there is an inexpensive removal tool (it's $30 USD on hairpiece.com but I nkow there is somewhere cheaper) that makes removal far easier.  I don't have that tool and don't have problems.

that said.  I think shrikies are in fact less noticeable than rings.  But they are a little harder to get the hang of.  Fusion, is something I haven't tried for a variety of reasons not the least of which is all the horror stories of damage.

Tipping your own hair isn't hard.  Check out some of the tutorials in "Bridgette  y our question is here"  It can be slow at first.

For me personally rings are faster than shrinkies.  But the fringe area is one place it is easy to replace on your self (no worries about burning yourself as you reach behind your head) with shrinkies.

How short is yoru hair?  I ask because many people don't go that high on their head with extensions.

well i found the microrings  quite uncomfortable, and there is no way you are going to be able to put microrings in your fringe without being able to see them. fusion you could put in your fringe but microrings no way! they are difficult to remove and i found that they chewed up my hair, i was left with only 1/4 of an inch of hair in some places. so i personally found them to be very damaging and i hated them! now i stick to fusion and shrinkies. i would look into shrinkies if i was you, they are simple to apply and remove. good luck, and i hope this helps.
