yeah that was shrinkies.They are different than heat seals.Heat seals are when your hair is pinchbraided then wrapped with synthetic hair.The synthetic hair is then heated and melted to form a seal.Shrinkies are really good.They are pretty easy to remove since there is alot less glue than fusion.Plus they are just as seamless Imo, if applied right.

Heat seals are done with synthetic hair. Natural hair is braided with extension hair for about an inch then the synthetic hair is wrapped around the braid and melted to form a seal. Sounds like, from your other post and this one that you had Mark Barringtons shrink links installed. A very reputable method, I might add.
