Many of us do our hair ourselves.

For a detailed discussion of schrinkies and extentubes see "bridget your question is here"

But in general extentubes/mocrorings are small rings of metal (~1/8 " long and 1/8" in diameter) that you pull a section of your hair through and then push the extension hair into.  Then you clamp them closed.

Shrinkies are 1/8" diameter and somewhat longer depends on the brand.  You push and pull similarly and then use a heat wand to shrink them down tight.

Ditto what Mocha said--that's the basic jist. For more info, check out the Bridget and Extensions 101 threads. Here are tutorials for each method:

and Extendtubes (they're called Linkies here, but the techinque is the same):
