What temp should my wand be to put these in? I put them in on high heat and they melt and completely fall apart, I used lower heat and so far I have lost 12 in two days and I am now afraid to wash my hair until I can put other shrinks in my hair first. What worked for you Kristen?
Sorry I totall missed this post. The wands I use don't have a temperature control they are fixed at just the perfect temperature for shrinkies and fusion. I believe the temperature is about 275 Fahrenheit. I just hold the wand crimped down on the shrinkie for about 5 seconds or until tightly sealed over the bond. I've had about 3.5oz of my current install done with these shrinkies and I've only lost 2 so far. They've been in for 4 weeks and 2 days so far and going strong. I've never had one melt or even start to melt, it sounds like your temperature is up way too high. Loosing 12 in 2 days also means something isn't right. Try seeing if you can play witht the temperature control until you get it just right.
