Hey ladies! This is Jaime... I did her shrinkies Saturday. I used a mix of Amm's & Doc's. I think I got the *Technique* of the shrinkies down... finally, lol. We used #30 WaWa underneath, with Sweet Honey WaWa on top of that, then a mix of 613/27 thru out the top. Her natural is such a pretty red, very close to the #30 wawa. I kinda went a little over board on the pictures! It took 8 hours! We did highlights first... I'm still recouping... now if I can only find the energy to tip my Bohyme!

Amazing! I am always amazed at how seamless it looks! No chop-off point or anything..great work! And lovely colors! Let us know how that WaWa works for her.
Thanks! I hope the wawa holds up, she has a natural wave in her hair and she flat irons everyday, so I'm hoping the wawa will hold up thru her daily care. It might need steamed & trimmed a little sooner than later... but she wanted straight, and inexpensive for her 1st go around w/extensions. I'll keep yin's posted on how the hair holds up

Let us know how wawa straight and staying straight works out. I
got mine and want to put it in but have had some problems with the
frizzies on my test strands.
What # is sweet honey? where did you get it?

How did you manage to crack the shrinkie code? Tips and tricks? :)
For me, I clamp down softly on the heat wand for like 2 seconds, examine it closely... you can *feel* it shrink a bit, make sure everything is in tact, then hold it shut for like 20 seconds. Then I go on to my next one, when I'm done with that second one, I'll look back at that first one and feel it and squeeze it tight. They *set* rock hard, & flat. I'll update how the flat shrinkies work for her. Has anyone updated on flat shrinkies yet?
Ooh, nice- especially the way you matched her highlights in the
extensions. It's so seamless, especially for going over the blunt-iush
cut she had previously.
Hi there Bridget. The client I did with flat tips and shrinkies has only had 6 come out in 4 weeks so its looking good. The only thing I would say is that the overall effect when you lift the hair up doesn't look as neat. That hair looks superb chick, well done xx
