Air would not be hot enough.

i dont think that would work

the intensity of heat you would need to shrink it would burn your scalp as it needs to be VERY hot to shrink the tube and you cannot possibly concentrate the heat enough to not get it on the scalp

I'm new here, but a longtime fan and workplace admirer.

I'm thinking about switching to shrinkies (shrink tubes) for my extensions over microlinks (which nearly detroyed my hair).

So I'm thinking about doing the shrink tube method, and was wondering, what if I shrank them with hot air, instead of the shrinkie wand?

My hypothesis is that using hot air, the tube might shrink evenly around the natural hair and extension, instead of being flattened/shrunk together.

Whaddayathink?  Also, how can I condition my hair with shrinkies in? I'm curious about how well it might work.

Thanks again!
If time travel were possible, everyone would keep going back to that one GREAT hair day!
