QuoteReplyTopic: Has anyone had damage from micro rings? Posted: June 29 2007 at 10:31am
Short 2 Long now carries russian hair in the I-tip. I just placed an order for some. It takes two weeks for delivery, though, but they custom blend it.
I'm not trying to find fault or anything but how can she only charge you $150. How many hours did she tell you it would take? Is this for a FULL head of extensions? It sounds more like the price for highlights.
I guess becaue I just had alot of work done from her recently and we are not doing a full head I have pretty decent thickness to my hair so we are just adding some length. She charges $250 for a full head.

I usually order hair from www.short2long.com and the hair runs between $120-300, depending on the length and the number of strands. As I said before, I do not mark up the price of the hair, I only get paid for the application.
I just found a girl who does short 2 long and we ordered the hair yesterday, I tried to find the catalog online but I couldn't. we ordered 3 packs of the 16 inch on the first hair listed in the catalog and it came tp $166. If you use the hair is it good hair? I was going to go for the russian but my stylist said this hair was good as well and cheaper.

If the maintainance means taking them all out and starting fresh from the scalp, than $400 for a full head is not bad. I charge around $400 (not including hair) for a full head because it takes around 4-5 hours.
I never agreed with the Hairlocs 'maintance' for just sliding up the locs. That's the fastest way to damage your hair.
O.K. you're going to learn to do this yourself. It's easy really you can even have your girlfriends or sisters do it. I wear fusion and my 16 just turned 17 years old last, week has been doing mine for a year.
With hair (depending on length and texture), technique (glue, links, shrinks or wefts) and iron, it's going to cost you $150-$200.
Are you game?
I am. Talk to me. Is it actually possible to do your own?

I have a very small head so I am kind of nervous about doing wefts myself. I would like to try the rings as lond as they are plastic and not metal, I guess with those I would need pre bonded strands huh?

How do I go about doing all this? Where do I order, how much should I order...I would love to do this myself but I have no coordination skills at all.
First you have to settle on which technique you'd like to try first. I agree with Sarytyr, wefts with some tape will be the easiest also the quickest but any technique would be good.

shrinkies.net has got a large variety of microrings/shells/tubes to choose from as well as pliers for installation and removal. You will need clips and a comb for sectioning your hair. There are several sites that sell pre-tipped hair, you will need shoestring or I-tip hair as you may not want to pre-tip your own for your first install. There is a demo at yourhairshop.com - she also has some I-tip hair on sale.
Even easier for your 1st install would be wefts and some kind of tape, with prep work it should only take you a couple of hours and the results are great - you can definately get more hair on your head.
Hopefully others will chime in on some more info. Good luck!
