Yeah, with shrinkies you can make the sections a little smaller but the basic principle is the same. I'm not quite sure why the sectioning for fusion is a bit larger than with microrings or shrinkies but for some reason it seems to be the case...

Stupid question maybe...but that would also work with shrinkies right?....and the size would be about the same as Boogiemamas dime pic right?....My husband has been having a hard time sectioning as well specially with a lot of stray hairs that I have and I wasnt to make sure I get the size right
Euch, that is scary. Most of them aren't actually that sharp, though; I
guess it just happened because of physics; small pointy thing through
wide squishy thing). As long as you're just dragging it across your
scalp, and not trying to stab anyone with it. you'll be fine. :)
I'm going to make him read what you have said and hopefully he'll get a little bit more confident at what he is doing.
Mochachip-- that picture on boogiemama's site is perfect and very helpful, thanks!
Rae-- Right now I have him using a plastic rat-tail comb, but it
doesn't work very well. I'll have to upgrade to one with a metal
end. Those things are terrifying! Last year when I worked
into a salon one of the stylists put a new one almost all the way
THROUGH her hand. Yuck. I knew that they were sharp when they
were new, but that was crazy. I guess I'll have to get over my
fear....

OMG....both my daughter and my husband were clueless when it came to sectioning....
you'd think my daughter w/ her head of hair would have SOME IDEA....she
knows how to braid, she does the "boinks" for her normal hairstyle on
casual days....i guess cuz it wasn't her head.
and hubby's exSO was a beautician...he's permed, he's colored....but
could he part off...uhh NO. maybe he's out of practice???
i'm headed to my mom's this weekend...she's been my perm lady for
years until her fingers started locking up when she'd work w/
rollers. I said "mom....HEEEELLLLLP!!" so she's willing to
try. Maybe after hubby and daughter see how it's done, they'll be
able to help me.
do you girls remember whose post had the pix on sectioning...where
there was a dime placed near the sections to show how big they were???
i told my daughter....think of the game battleship...and the little grids where you put your pegs....THAT'S WHAT I WANT!
has someone been swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool again?

And tell him to actually push a little on your scalp. My husbands
biggest problem when helpping me section off the back is that he's
afraid he'll hurt me and he spends oodles of time carfully moving one
hair at a time. I keep saying "just push the comb intomy head and
draw a line!" he is getting better.
If yo've got a rat-tail comb, or can find one, that helps. You just
hold the pointy end of the comb like a pencil, and "draw" a horizontal
line across the scalp (then separate the two sides). The draw another
horizontal line above it- for rings, I like to make it a quarter-inch
tall. That's one row. Then section off an inch of that row next to the
hairline (leave that out of the rings), and then one at a time, section
out one section of the row, making little squares. They should be a
quarter-inch wide and a quarter-inch tall (can be bigger for fine hair,
or smaller for very thick hair). I do this all with the pointy end of
the comb, using it like a pencil drawing on the scalp the entire time.
I only ever use the comb end of the comb for actual combing.
Hi! My fiance is going to try one more time to help me install
some microrings and pretipped synthetic hair. The problem is that
his sectioning is... well to be blunt it kind of sucks. I'm not
really sure that he understands the physics of it or whatever--
Although, I'm not sure its quite physics
Regardless, I was wondering if anybody had any helpful hints or tricks
or pictures that I can pass along to him in order to make the whole
ordeal a little bit less painless. And clear. I think that we have some
sort of communication barrier or something about the issue. At
least I think I make sense when I'm explaining it to him. Fact
is, he's a persistent little guy and doesn't want to give up. And
me, I'd like to have a head of extensions that doesn't look like a ball
of fuzz.
