Hi, ya, I just noticed that it said I was from the UK so I changed it. Thanks! I'm on the south shore also. I just spoke with my  hairdresser that places my hair systems for me and told her I wanted to wean off the systems slowly. (It's a pain going every single month to get it reglued and they also slip, and they never match my real hair!)

Which method do you use, Mochachip? I was thinking of trying Shrinkies, because from what I have been reading, they are the least detectable and they work good for thin,baby fine hair. What's your opinion? Do you do other people's hair? What do you use on your own?

I use a combo of things on my own.  i don't personally do much in the way of natural looking extensions (I use blue and yellow and purple hair al the time) so sometimes I use braids oor sometimes i use tie ins (pinchbraids with all the hair incorporated so that you can see the knots.)

However I have used microlinks and currently have a full head of shrinkies in.  This is my first expereince with shrinkies and they aren't all bad.  And I have the heat wand whichis the most expensive part beyond the hair so...

I have done highlights on friends and my sister with microrings but in general have not done others hair.  But I'd certainly be willing to spend a day helping out with an install, sharing advice and equipment so you could see if shrinkies would work for you.

What kind of hair do you use?  jusst great lengths?  Are you planning on getting HH again?  What kind?  I have zero human hair experience but again would love to coop one day.

How are they slipping?  I'm not a fusion kinda gal so I really only skim the info on that as it circulates.

Thanks for your response. Hey if you want to show me how to apply the shrinkies, I'd pay you for your time. Possibly show me microlinks also to see if I might prefer that method. When I got my hair done with Great Lengths, that was the first time for me for extensions. I still have the hair system on my head until my hair starts growing out. I want to make sure that it works for me and my hair on top starts growing. I previously had bought my hair wefts/wigs at Dorothy's Boutique in Boston. I'll get more HH but not sure if I should get it already preglued or not. Just trying to learn the lingo and see what would work. This site is great!

"If you had to fall in love with your hair stylist, you’d want him to be James Adams. He’s got it all...clients have nearly bribed the front desk to get in and said they would pay anything he wanted...."

Damn! Anything he wanted.....
