thanks for the information sherrie on shrinkies, someone has emailed me and said they will send some samples, so hopefully I will be able to install soon...
on a previous thread someone said that shrinkies have glue inside, do they all have this, or just some brands...
I will follow your advice on using a heat wand, and I think I'll use a silicone heat pad to roll the shrinkie a bit, as I don't fancy a flat bond somehow...
also Thon01 is a real sweety, and he is very amusing sometimes...
we are all very pleased you have joined our board, and look forward to lots more helpful input about hair extensions from all you experts...

zephyr, from all the experiments that we have tried with different shrink tubing/shrinkies with and without the glue lining we have learned that the ones with NO glue just plain DONT WORK! But the very thin coating of adhesive inside a shrinkie is a minimal amount of glue and is a breeze to remove in comparison to the amount of glue with a fusion bond.
The only brand of shrink tubes without glue that Ive heard of that work are Mark Barrington shrink links. And Metalgirl would be able to tell you more about those.
I don't know if I would say the the MB shrink links don't have glue. I'm not really sure what their composition is, as he likes to keep thier exact composition a secret.
I do know that they shrink down very well and still in the hair very well on most people.
and all the other Hair Extension Experts on the board...
I am not sure what brands of shrinkies are being sent, so I will have to wait until they come...
One question?
If human hair has to be pre-bonded first, then this is with glue, so shouldn't that hold onto the heated shrinkie quite firmly when the heat wand presses down?
I believe I need to pre-bond before using to prevent shedding?
