need help with shrinkies

By too big, do you mean the diameter? If the tips are too thick for
shrinkies, they won't fit into a microring. If you mean they're too
long, you'll have to snip them back so they're shorter.

Tips should never stick out from the top - your brush will catch on
that and bend your hair strand sideways or backwards when you're
brushing your hair. I know if I get one like that, the Fiddle Factor is
tenfold and I play with that strand constantly until I eventually work it
out.

Shrinkies, like microrings, should have a little wiggle room between
the bond and your scalp. Your head will be unbearably sore if they're
too tight.

I don't understand the "can't dry my hair straight" comment. Are you
saying you think it's because of an application problem or a problem
with the hair you're using.
