QuoteReplyTopic: Micro-rings? Posted: August 01 2005 at 6:00am
I have been offered the opportunity to buy some of these for $100 australian dollars for 1000 micro rings, 12 keratin sticks, clamp and pull thru thingy
i havent used these before, but i am an ex hairdresser (no extensions training)
whats this method like? for comfort, speed to put them in etc? I would like to be able to replace the extensions in my fringe area myself
also what are they like to remove? and how hard is it to tip your own hair?
thanks for your advice. :)

well i found the microrings quite uncomfortable, and there is no way you are going to be able to put microrings in your fringe without being able to see them. fusion you could put in your fringe but microrings no way! they are difficult to remove and i found that they chewed up my hair, i was left with only 1/4 of an inch of hair in some places. so i personally found them to be very damaging and i hated them! now i stick to fusion and shrinkies. i would look into shrinkies if i was you, they are simple to apply and remove. good luck, and i hope this helps.

where do you get the heat thing for the shrinkies - i think i saw a post where some people are using a straightener? I have a non ceramic straightener
i ordered a sample kit of micro rings and they are putting in some shrinkies too so i will try both - i heard shrinkies were hard to get out and damaged your hair so was thinking of micro rings in the bulk of my hair and shrinkies near hairlines

I on the otherhand have no problem with micro-rings. depending
ont he size and color (and color chipping resistivity) you may be able
to use them in your bangs/fringe. there is an inexpensive removal
tool (it's $30 USD on hairpiece.com but I nkow there is somewhere
cheaper) that makes removal far easier. I don't have that tool
and don't have problems.
that said. I think shrikies are in fact less noticeable than
rings. But they are a little harder to get the hang of.
Fusion, is something I haven't tried for a variety of reasons not the
least of which is all the horror stories of damage.
Tipping your own hair isn't hard. Check out some of the tutorials
in "Bridgette y our question is here" It can be slow at
first.
For me personally rings are faster than shrinkies. But the fringe
area is one place it is easy to replace on your self (no worries about
burning yourself as you reach behind your head) with shrinkies.
How short is yoru hair? I ask because many people don't go that high on their head with extensions.
What about linkies? I am thinking about trying those and I need as much information as possible before I go off trying something new. Will it damage your hair?
linkies are very similar to hairlocs cept a bit thinner and wider.
are micro links and hairlocs the same thing? if not what is the difference?
any hints on my first install? I have dome in my fringe that badly need replacing and was going to use them for that
i will als get some shrinkies - i have heard some ppl say that you can use a straightener to put these in? I dont have the heating tool at the moment....
