You said yesterday when you posed your pics, which look fabulous, that you use tips that were only 1/16" long and thatyou cut the shrinkies down to 1/8" for the area around your face.

How big around/acroos were these tips?  How far back from your hairlone did you place them?

Thanks,
:)al

Hiya Mocha,

I colored some shrinkies with a pen (otherwise I couldn't get them to show up). A "regular" shrinkie is on top; one "cut in half" is below it, and the tip size is below it. I have some of them *in myhairline* and even on my part!

Also below that is my very quick & dirty pretipping on the weft: I paint on LG on both sides, then let it cure a few minutes, then roll them to whatever size I want, the snip them off. Hope this helps!!

This is gonna be awesome.

I've got about two thirds of my install done and now I'm definitely using this for around my face and to get closer to my nape to blend better!

thank you so much!

Okay I'm *still* working on my install but I've put a few tiny tips in with tiny shrinkies very close to my hair line and you cant see them even if I pull the hair back tight to my head.  Much better than when I used the XS microrings near the hairline.  Thank you so much for this very useful tidbit!

mmm another interesting experiment.  Do you think they would come out easier though because the shrinkie is smaller xx

Personally I don't think a shrinkie of any size will come out until it is forced to do so. . .at least in my experience those suckers STAY until they are melted OUT.
