straw poll - favourite method

I like the Shrink Link method-I have worn them with no problem. This system is easy to install and easy to come out of the hair without damage.

I also like braided or cable track weaves, either single tracks or a 'full cap'.

I want to buy the Hair Factory's pinch braid weaving tape and I also want to learn how to do the strand pinch braids.

I dislike: all strand fusion, eurolocs/hairlocs, and weft bonding-I think these methods cause damage for long term wearers.

As far as the non-damaging aspect, I always liked sewn in wefts but they didn't natural unless my hair was the same length. Otherwise: mullet.
I'm doing intense shrinkies right now. Took out all the previous ones and reinstalled last night and today. So far only a few have come out - I cut the tips much shorter so they didn't stick out the top of the shrinkie and that helped. So did cooking them a bit longer - after the sizzling sound stops. But I have to say that when removing the shrinkie, it ALWAYS pulls out some of my hair. Always. Microrings didn't do that, but the size is so small it's a pain in the neck to make tips to fit.
So it's a dilemma. I want to like shrinkies, but i'm only having moderate success. They look good in my hair, that's for sure.

Anyone else?

I should maybe add that I'm in the uk and I am envious of what's available both product and knowledge-wise for all of you in the States!

i like pinchbraids but havenn't tried shrinkies, i want to try them

Synth with pinchbraids for hair 6" or longer, or human hair microring weave (rings sewn on the weft) for hair shorter than that. I like how rings can hold on to hair as short as one inch.
