to Amm

Thanks Jenny! Yeah, 24"... two full feet of hair. Yaaahooo! And yeah, I know I know... it'll be hard to part with the human hair (hahaha, is that a pun?). I'm in turmoil about it but I'm just tired of all the surprises with human hair.


Bridget, congrats on your new baby. Hairlocs course is a waste of money. Then you have to buy Hairlocs rings (made of copper and they eat human hair cuticle) and Hairlocs hair (which is usually crap) and you're giving all your hard-earned money away to Hairlocs coporation before you even make any. An extentube kit over on hairpiece.com will save you almost the entire cost of an entire Hairlocs course and set you up in biz right away. It's the exact same concept, only different rings. BETTER rings!

Yes, I like shrinkies but I also like the microring method too and I think extentubes are the best out there right now.

Kimbearly, LOL, no I'm not a model. So not even close to being one but thank you! Can't wait to see how your strands turn out.

Amm-- you are so beautiful! Your hair is awesome!!! You know, I was considering taking a class in March for the Hairlocs cert. ($1,500). Only because I thought that method was the best, as far as less damage, no heat, no glue, bla bla, but now learning about shrinkies, I'm just blown away. I recently got my cos. license but I'm not working at a salon, just hi-lights & stuff out of my house... (just had me a baby... 7wks, Nolan). But the main reason I went into this world of hair is because of extensions... I want them, and I want to do them!! W/a great passion! To say the least, I won't be forking out 1500 for this Hairlocs course...
So please, keep me posted on your shrinkies and I hope these lil' things will be a new page for us extension lovers!

My own hair is just past my shoulders, I guess. It's longer in the back as it's in sort of a "v" shape cut. Very thin, fine and damaged, though.

Thanks, Bridget! I have a multitude of hair in. I have various shades, textures, colors and brands in with the lengths ranging from 18-24". I personally do not like stick straight hair but I don't mind it here and there and I do wear some as highlights. The hair I'm wearing right now is hair I acquired when I had a stylist put them in last March (I do not know what brand they are). I also have in a brand called Y2k which I've heard tangling horror stories about. I bought it locally and don't know where to find it online. It's supposedly Remy but who knows. It's worked fine for me and the color is freakin beautiful. I have in 6 strands of very dark dark brown 22" bodywave Cinderella hair. I also have in Glamour Hair's silky straight in #27 as highlights, Glamour Hair's french refined in 18/22 blend and #12 as lowlights, Hairpiece.com's 909 body wave in light blonde is scattered throughout also. I have pounds and pounds of hair that I use and frequently change out. I can have up to 10 different types, lengths and colors in at one time and I am constantly adding and changing. They are all various blends of blondes and browns with copper/red highlights. Some hair sellers will tell you that you can't blends textures like this. Bah! I have done it with great success and it's really just a matter of personal preference and what you envision your hair to look like. Right now I have this huge mass of wavy hair that looks like something out of a magazine. People stop me all the time and I am proud to say they're extensions and that I do them myself. They're totally blown away.

Some hair is definitely better than others and is standing the test of time. I have some hair that I actually like but others here have tried it and not liked it a bit. Yes, I go through what everyone else does. It's sore after maintenance and it can look stringy between a good brushing and it sweeps across the fabric on the back of my shirt and gets mussed and can get dull and dry and flyaway sometimes. Products and TLC put it right back into something manageable.

There's no class for shrinkies. The beauty of them is that they're so so easy, you really don't need a course for it.

Here's some pics for fun. This is what my hair looks like today. Some of Kristin's fun colors of various reds and pinks and purples can be seen, too! I recommend getting some. They are very fun and affordable!








Here's the Glamour Hair's 18/22 blend in 22" French Refined. I bashed another batch previously but I'm actually happy with this order so far. The pictures above contains this very shiny, bright hair. I put it in last night. I used a straight iron on it today for some unknown reason. Just playing, I guess.




Here's the same hair now made into tips:





PS: This is a complete do-it-yourself install (I do not go to a stylist) and it is done with shrinkies.

I'm new here and have been reading a lot of the pages and just wanted to say how great your hair looks!! Where do you order your hair and how long does it last? Do you know if there is a class I can take for these shrinkies?? Thanks a million Amm!!
