Sorry Jenny~I just saw your post now.

I haven't done a client yet with Shrink Links but just practiced on a mannequin head. The Shrink Links shrink right down nice and tight and seals a little better than Shrinkies. I can't get the Shrinkie to seal as well.
On the take down, the Shrink Link is much easier to remove from the natural hair than the Shrinkie I find.

The Shrink Link tubing is more pliable than the Shrinkie, which is a little harder in touch.

I really like what I see so far and love I don't have to pre-tip the hair for the Shrink Links.

Thanks for posting those photos, SAS. Have you done a MB v. Doc test for application and removal? I'd be curious to see how they compare in those regards.... I've had some problems getting the Doc's to shrink uniformly. :)

Here is the “MB SHRINK LINKS” next to “DOCS SHRINKIES”




Amm~ All you have to do to remove the Shrink Links is grab 2-3 at a time reheat with the iron, gently pulling the extension hair.....comes right out, slide link right down the hair shaft....comes right out. There is a little residue . MB uses an orange oil to remove the residue….smells awesome!! You just need a few drops, then you comb the residue and it turns flakey white, combs right out.
I think the trainer said it takes about 45 minutes to remove a full head of residue. I haven’t done a client yet so Metalgirl would be able to give the exact time it takes to remove the residue per head. I just love this remover beats anything I’ve used. Well, that may also be because I just love the smell of citrus,orange!! I was told that I could cut the Shrink Links in half for crown and side areas. So I cut some in half to let you see the size next to the original size. Shrinkies are on the far right.

Here is the kit and the hair pics, sorry I noticed they are not that clear.......


okay, girls have to run........see ya in a couple days

Here's what I discovered through time and money wasted ventures in regard to shrink tubings:

Dual wall typically are adhesive lined but too thick to compare to Shrinkies. They may indicate they're "clear" but they're more opaque and have a cloudy appearance after shrinking.

Thin wall would be more comparative to Shrinkies but finding it adhesive lined and clear is a challenge. I have come across several sites that may be selling this but most of the time you cannot order small amounts but are required to make a bulk purchase. A lot of the sites are in PDF format that allow you to view catalog info but you cannot make an order.

I have numerous requests out in the ether for samples but few have sent them. When I do get a response for thin wall clear with adhesive and they send them, I have ALWAYS gotten them without adhesive. When I write back and say this is EXACTLY what I want, now do you have it adhesive lined. They write back "no, sorry." I'm all like, I specifically asked for adhesive lined, why the hell did you send this to me then?!

Well, I don't tell them that but I sure am thinking it.

Just a reminder: Some of the generic shrink-tubings are not lined with an adhesive surface. Unless they do contain that adhesive (which for Doc's shrinkies is apparently Keratin glue), they will not stay in the hair. Based on everything I've read, the shrinking pressure is not enough to yield a good hold; there must also be some glue to prevent slipping. :)

Marie87, those tubing pieces from cableorganizer are way overpriced when you include the shipping and they do not perform like shrinkies. I have the same thing and now it sits here unused. You can still use it to hold some wires together though.

I will check out the China front.

Usually, calling is very difficult -- you have a 13-hour time difference for one thing, and then there's the language barrier.

I will send an email and keep you posted.

Oh yes, also, I'm going to China in early April. . .

Metalgirl or SAS - How do the MB shrink links come out? Is their residue in the hair?

Marie, I've never seen this site before! Thanks! Those shrinkies are alot smaller and longer than the dr locs. I like the fun colors for the micro rings too.

Have you contacted the site yet for pricing?
It is what it is...
