Wow!! Niiiiiice! That looks so simple...just a knot et voila. Can you believe the length and thickness of the blonde??!!
Thanks, Cybermane.
Just goes to show that Kalika really is very creative!

Courtesy from my hair extension stylist friend from Germany. Gosh, if she can only come to the US and take the Mark Barrington class, she won't have to knot her client's heads!
Oh yeah, she tells me the Extend Magic are selling for $7000Euros. Actually this company is putting a sticker on the EMs and claiming they invented it. EMs are the most desirable method out there like thermo and plastik is to this board. She dying to get her hands on one. But I won't sell mine
LOL monsterita!! Yep, sure know that feeling . It does something to your entire system doesn't it? Not just a thing between nail and hair, but it makes you cringe, gives you goosebumps, hurts your teeth cos you grind them together real hard et cetera !!
Thing is that I don't really have those nails for just beauty or fun; I bite my nails real bad so I actually need the fakes . Truth is that I don't HAVE to have them long but it gets kinda addictive if you know what I mean... .But I have seen girls pinch braid beautifully with long nails, so it can be done. There is light at the end of the tunnel. yay!

I had long acrylic nails when I was trying to learn how to pinchbraid. I've since taken them off and it is much easier now.
What really sucks is when you're finger combing through your extensions and the nail has lifted just a little. Then, your extensions get caught between the acrylic nail and your real nail. Arrrgggg!
Kalika, first of all, I'm very impressed with your new method. I must try it for my own slippery slidy hair. I love to invent new methods and play around and that idea is awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us.
You look like one of my best friends in that pic, except she's 20 years older (she still looks young)
These are PH or fiber installs with the premium adhesive shrinkie like Kalika used. PH is perfectly protected underneath and so is fiber but only with adhesive shrinkies. Unlined ones are too thin and fries PH underneath and it snaps off. The PH ends poking out from the top and bottom are crispy. Unlined ones are ok with thermofiber but you'd never get them to hold on a pinchbraid because there's no glue in the hair to hold it. Most unlined shrinkies would not fit through the diameter of a pinchbraid anyway. Well, unless you made maybe microbraids but they'd have to be really really small.
kalika- did you have to do something special to the ph to keep it frun burning or something under the shrinkie when you applied heat? idk if ph is affected by 10 seconds of heat... i am going 2 install ph and i considering this method. when you took the ph out was it in good enough condition to be reused? thanx

kalika- you remind me of angelina jolie as lara croft in the tomb raider movies... the stance, hair(braided) and everything... I LOVE the red hair it looks amazing.. what hair did you use with the shrinkied pinchbraids?
also, does anybody plan to do an install this method in the future?? oOo another thing.. do u think this method is possible w/ the amm's regular shrinkies and not just the extended shrinkies? thanx..

OK, so no string and just the shrinkie adhesive alone held it for 6 weeks without any extra help under it?
Yes.
Just make smaller braids, when I started braiding I thought it would be easier with thicker bits of hair, in reality its much easier with less. If you practice with smaller bits then it should just be tighter automatically, and the shrinkie can fit over it.
OK, so no string and just the shrinkie adhesive alone held it for 6 weeks without any extra help under it? There has got to be a way for me to do this to the back of my own head but I can't seem to get a pb tight against my head before I'm completely frustrated.
