Well, up to now, extendtubes had received the best reviews (better than Doc's microrings because the extentubes close a bit flatter and don't chip as fast). But Marie is saying that Short to Long's are even better, so the licensed girls here should definitely give those a whirl.
Marie: About the slippage, do you find they slip more with human hair than synth? I've heard they slip less with synth because the hair doesn't expand and contract and isn't porous. I haven't done enough tests to know firsthand though.

I've had Docs rings several times with no problems. Are they made
of the same material? As Jenny saidpart of the problem with
hairl/euro locs is that they are made of copper so if Docs are nickel
and extendtubes arenickel then I can tell myou no problems with
breakage. And my hair well healthy is not a word I have used to
desrcibe it since maybe 9th grade when I first started dying it....
I find that if your going to use that type then order from short to long, they are the same size as euro and hair locks but made of the same stuff as extend tubes. These stay in better I think the extra lenght helps them not slip as much . Both are prone to sliping more so if hair is healthy.I also do see breakage I think clampig meatal on tight will tend to do that but sliping was the worst part. To order from short to long just fax them a certification from any strand by strand class you have had .The phone number is 941- 922-1004
I've been wondering the same thing. I've heard tons of damage reports on Hairlocs and Eurolocs (including my own firsthand experience), but none on extendtubes, and I also think it's the copper, which starts decomposing (tarnishing) pretty quickly, as well as perhaps a sharper edge in the physical design. I believe extendtubes are primarily aluminum.
The only problems I've heard so far regarding extendtubes are 1) if the client has a nickel allery (because apparently there's some nickel in those tubes), and 2) if removal is problematic (i.e., the tubes are crimped in on themselves during removal because the pliers are too smooth or the person isn't being patient enough).
I can tell you, I've had no breakage or tarnishing problems with extendtubes, like I had with hairlocs, but then again, I've never had a whole head of them in for an extended period either.
I was wondering if anyone here that has used extentubes has had breakage in thier hair from it?
We all know that eurolocs/hairlocs causes breakage big time, and I think it's because when the copper is crimped it forms a rough edge that chews on the natural hair and cuts it.
I really want to be able to use extendtubes in place of the Eurolocs, so anyone's experience would be helpful....
