Pretipping with shrinkies

I have read where a few tried this?  How did it work? 

I believe I read where someone used LG topped with nail glue, and then applied a shrinkie over that, shrunk it down, rolled it, and then placed this inside another shrinkie when attaching to the hair?  Did I read the thread right?  How did this work?  I also read where some have glued the pretipped hair in the shrinkie with nail polish or nail glue?  So out of the two, which worked the best? 

I am new to DIY, and right now have Dr. Loc's pretipped HH that I topped with LG and used shrinkies for install.  I have black and red 18".  I've had these in for about 3 weeks and have been very happy with them thus far.  The most difficult part of the install was having the pretips slip out the bottom of the shrinkie while installing -- thus why I am asking about these other methods.

Thanks again for all the wonderful posts and information!  This board is the best!

You have to work the shrink while hot down so it's flush with the top of the tip. The way you tiped the hair is fine. Just need to work on placing the shrinkin the right spot

I found that if I put the tip into the shrinkie and heat only one side of the shrinkie to the tip, then put the shrinkie on the threader and slide shrinkie and tip up the natural hair shaft into postion then heat shrink the whole thing down.  If I do this, I have not had any problems with the end of the tip sticking up past the shrinkie.  Now, if I heat the shrinkie too long, sometimes it will squeeze the tip out and I have to do the whole thing over again. 

Yes, it is a little time consuming, but in the long run it saves on frustration of having the tip pop up the top of the shrinkie.

To save time during the install, you could sit infront of the TV before hand, and do the tip attachements all at one time.

I wouldn't recommend a shrinkie pre-tip...it made for a bulky install and removal was difficult.

Ok, I just used only one side of the wand and just touched the part of the shrinkie the tip was next to.  I did not "pre-tip" with the shrinkie, just got everything ready to install.  So I had a pretip with a almost fully (98%) unshrunk shrinkie on the end of it.  I'll post a pic, but I have to go get my kids from school first.
