HELP...Who has the best shrinkies?

I heard one review that preferred Doc's (the user felt the tubes shrunk down better), and another that preferred Kristin's (the user felt that the extra length provided a better, longer-lasting hold), so you've got me.

Anyone?

:)

I've been answering so much in private, I may as well put it out here.

Yes, I believe I have found something locally that is pretty darn good. It's the same diameter that shrinkie users have come to know and want but the shrink ratio is responding tighter. There also seems to be more adhesive inside (according to those I have sent the shrinkies to and who are testing them as well) so it's holding better.

The new shrinkie has the slightest haze to it and it's almost undetectable when looking at it. To me, this slight haze makes the new shrinkie less shiny when it's installed. It by no means is a hinderance.

Starting next week, I'll have shrinkies.net up and running (as soon as my host server kicks in) and I'll also offer a remover which is probably the exact same thing Mark Barrington uses for his shrinklinks. I've tested this over the week and I am astounded by how quick the residue comes out. As I told a person who is also testing this, I actually had a little happy tear.

Prices? How about half of what you're used to seeing? As a DIY, I'm horrified by the mark up and this is going to be great for all the DIY out there.

There will also be standard and extended length sizes for those who think they'll like something a bit longer.

I'm up for any suggestions.

And no, as someone asked me, this is not from China.

ahhh you found what i found but in a smaller starting diameter.  excellent work deary.  I just gave up on hunting.  I'm not sure whether I'll use any shrinkies again, but if I ever need any I'll definitely want to try yours out!

amm your our hero

will your remover work on other shrinkies?

Merg, absolutely. It's already been tested and it works like a dream. Works better on Liquid Gold than the actual Liquid Gold Remover, too. I'll have it next week and it'll be $5.99 for 4 oz. A little bit will go a long long way and there's not a drop of acetone in it. I'll have all the ingredients listed so everyone knows what it is.

I know Mark Berrington sells a shrinkie remover that is $12.95 for 4 oz and it does not list ingredients. Anyone have any idea why that would be?

Sign me up!!!!!! I have found that if I dont touch the shrink -no rolling or pinching that I dont get that haze. the ones I touch turn hazey they also come out sooner but the ones I heat and leave stay good clear and tight

Hair distributor? Hah! Never! I can gladly wait for PH overseas and the WaWa I love is here so I'm a happy camper. I don't think I could ever put up with the HH hassles. Besides, with my aeromedical work and the soap biz and now my newly discovered fondness for riding motorcycles, there is no time whatsoever. I'm only doing the shrinkie thing cuz it's ridiculous to have finally found this at half the price and not pass it on. I'm stoked! Half sizes? Sounds like a great idea! I know I used Fina's great suggestion around my temple area and it's awesome.

Marie - I've done flat shrinkies, too. They sure do lay nice against the head. I can't even feel them when I wear a snug helmet. Even with Doc's shrinkies which are completely clear to begin, I've still gotten that cloudy look on some of them whether I roll or not. I'd love to have them all completely clear but it's never happened. When the adhesive melts inside, it can just sometimes take on that appearance.   

Bravo amm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!           !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For half the price...I'll have to revisit th e world of shrinkies! Can't wait to get my hands on the san acetone remover!
