Could somebody tell me what is a shrinkie???
is it a micro-llnk/ extendtube method???I am getting confused.
Are they all the same method but with different names? Do they all need the small circular link for the procedure???
Please explain??I am trying to make a decision on my hair and i am trying to figure out what to do withour using the fusion method again. I am not keen on using glues in my hair.

There are basically two different methods you're referring to here: extendtubes and shrinkies. These are also known by other names, but these are the best brands: extendtubes by Hairpiece.com, and shrinkies by Doc Locks.

Here's the extentube kit: http://www.hairpiece.com/product.asp?pf_id=APE151 - http://www.hairpiece.com/product.asp?pf_id=APE151 These are attached to the hair with pliers--no glue, no braiding--just the pretipped hair, the extendtubes, and the pliers. The advantages are cost effectiveness, easy application and removal, they're pretty undectable, and no glue or heat is used. The disadvantages may include slippage.

The clear tubes, or shrinkies, are basically heat-shrinkable tubing with a bit of adhesive inside that is atttached with a fusion wand. Here's the demo: http://www.drlocks.net/shrinkiesprebond/index.htm - http://www.drlocks.net/shrinkiesprebond/index.htm
The advantages are: very, very undetectable, fairly secure, farily easy application and removal. The disavantages are that you have to but a fusion wand (if you don't have one) and it does involve some glue.

Good luck! :)
