Has anyone tried installing synth with exentubes using this method: http://www.drlocks.net/linkiesbulk/index.htm - http://www.drlocks.net/linkiesbulk/index.htm It appears they are not pretipping the strand, but instead looping it. I am wondering if it would still shed. I know synth doesn't have the same issues as hh with expanding and contracting and thus slipping out through the links, and I am trying to avoid dealing with pretipping if I can help it. That is the reason I wear pinchbraids but i am looking for other options. Thanks! |

Yeah, I've done it a few times- only for streaks, not full heads. It seems to hold just fine. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

| So then why bother with pretipping?? Has anyone even tried a full head? |

I've done it with shrinkies and it works like a charm. The bottom portion of the loop HAS to get all the way in the ring or shrinkie or else it will shed out the bottom.
I haven't done a full head because: #1: I'm a DIY and it would pose an enormous challenge to do the back. #2: I like to wear my hair 22-24" and I've yet to find a good quality hair that I can spare the length to do the loop. |

'Cause rings/tubes with tips goes faster. Working the latch-hook
(microneedle) takes a second or two, and with bulk you have to do it
twice (once to pull through the real hair, once to pull in the synth)
whereas with a tip you just poke it in. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
