1. No idea

2. My understanding is the micro-lites don't have the adhesive on the
inside like the other shrinkies, so I would *think* that if you are using the
lush it might not stick. I'm not sure though, beacause the lush is I-tips,
and another brand of I-tips I had the glue didn't really melt, and the latest
one I used it did. So I would recommend the regular shrinkies to be safe,
and they made hold better and longer. I haven't tried the other ones, but I
did try skrinkies.net and I love them, they shrink up nice and small!

3. Like laura said, yes.

4. Again yes, I always run into the same problem too! My hair
"straight" looks so wavy and dull next to the extensions!

5. Yeah, being careful with them in general, making sure you take them
out before 12 weeks, the normal stuff. Personally, I like microlinks better,
I just tried the ones from Dr. Locks and HATED them. I know probably
90% of people would disagree. But the metal really didn't damage the hair
at all from what I noticed, when I took them out, my hair looked like it did
before the extensions. For DIYers i think it's easier, and overall better. But
as far as damage goes, I don't think it matters too much which you use.

6. Again, if you use the micro lites I think you *might* need to add some
type of glue, otherwise, reg shrinkies, no.

1. no idea

2. never tried the micro lites but they do not have any glue so with the lush hair they would be fine but you probably wont be able to use them with other pretipped hair - I think this is really personal preference -- I used the hair candy ones before she changed and liked them fine, but have never tried her new ones...

3. yes they will fit

4. no not wavy at all - I thought I had straight hair until I tried the lush, I ended up flat ironing my own hair!

5. yes, be gentle when brushing

6. NO

im thinking of getting the lush pretipped hair as well...

1)  im gonna be getting some 613 and i wanted some 20 packs of the 18/22, but it looks like theyve run out as it is not on the website.. Amm do you have any more of those or no?

2) another question, should i get the standard shrinkies on the site(shrinkies.net) or micro lites? (whats the difference between the two?) also, haircandy advertises that it has the smallest shrinkies , how do they compare to the ones on shrinkies.net? .. in other words which are the smallest/best

3)  will the pretipped lush fit into the standard shrinkies on shrinkies.net, the microlites, and the ones sold on haircandy?

4) i have straight straight hair.. is this lush hair reallly wavey?  i dont want it to not match into my own hair.. will i need to spend hours straightening?

5) will the amms shrinkie remover be able to fully take everything out? and are there any specific actions i could take in regards to this method that will minimize damage  ( i am a bleached blonde with pretty damaged hair) is this method ok for damaged hair..? it seems to be, if done properly , from what i have read ont this board. or are microlinks less damaging than shrinkies? it seems hard to say .. metal crunching down on your hair, or glue in your hair? hmm

6) also...soorrryy, one more question... do i need to add other type of glue to the tips of the pretipped lush hair? or is it a simple putting in of the shrinkie and applying of heat?

thank you so much in advance and thank you for all the people who contribute on the board!
