New way to install shrinkies? *pics*

I think Ive watched the southpark movie upside down about 6 times now

woww that is a good method!! i stopped doing the prostyles type pinch braiding and using acrylic hair as i found a lot of extensions would fall out or be pulled out and need replacing frequently so i went onto human hair and amms shrinkies instead but now since seeing this revelation i may just start to do acrylic again as well!!!

heyyy

just wondering if any1 has used this new method for a full install... it looks amazing! any testimonies?? shrinkieing pinchbraids sounds like a great alternative to pretipping first and i was wondering if any1 took up this method and could tell us how well it worked??

also, how do you do pinchbraids laying down? i may be missing something... do you mean lying down on your back? how do you get to the back of your hair that way because wouldnt the hair around your hairline be in front? sorry if this is a stupid question im just confused

anyway, thanks in advance for any help!

I didnt do it on a full head but I did the first few rows on the bottom here

I had the hair in about 6 weeks, just took it out a few days ago and have amms indian hair in.  Wow do I love this stuff!

Anyways, I didnt lose any of the pinchbraided shrinkies, but I lost a few of the ones I did the "reqular way", but to be fair it was all on the back of my head which I didnt look at in a mirror when I did them.  I had almost 500 strands in, so loosing a few durring 6 weeks wasnt a problem at all.

And the lying down thing, Yes I mean lying down on your back.  I would do it on the couch with my head hanging off.

OK, so no string and just the shrinkie adhesive alone held it for 6 weeks without any extra help under it? There has got to be a way for me to do this to the back of my own head but I can't seem to get a pb tight against my head before I'm completely frustrated.

Wow Kalika you look hot with that hair, it really suits your skin tone, love it x

kalika- you remind me of angelina jolie as lara croft in the tomb raider movies... the stance, hair(braided) and everything... I LOVE the red hair it looks amazing.. what hair did you use with the shrinkied pinchbraids?

also, does anybody plan to do an install this method in the future?? oOo another thing.. do u think this method is possible w/ the amm's regular shrinkies and not just the extended shrinkies? thanx..

because the last pics she posted, she was blond.  I think she went brunette before going red.  A woman of many colors!!!

haha thanks guys  Its PH in the pics.

Right now, I have installed black wavy indian hair I got from amm, I'll post pics of that soon too. 

I think regular shrinkies would be too short to support the braid, but maybe you can use 2 regular ones instead, one right after the other?

These are PH or fiber installs with the premium adhesive shrinkie like Kalika used. PH is perfectly protected underneath and so is fiber but only with adhesive shrinkies. Unlined ones are too thin and fries PH underneath and it snaps off. The PH ends poking out from the top and bottom are crispy. Unlined ones are ok with thermofiber but you'd never get them to hold on a pinchbraid because there's no glue in the hair to hold it. Most unlined shrinkies would not fit through the diameter of a pinchbraid anyway. Well, unless you made maybe microbraids but they'd have to be really really small.
