Anyone who pretiped with shrinkies.... Is the removal any different? (harder) When you heat the shrinkie to remove, do both shrinkies come out? or does the tip stay intact? |

| For me the tip stayed on nicely, but I had a hard time getting the holding shrinkie out of my hair. How long have you had them in by the way? |

| I just put in shrinkies yesterday - but I used LG to pretip. I am just planning my next instal while I wait for my PH. |

I tried out pretipping with a shrinkie then adhering with a shrinkie in lots of sizes with human and synthetic hair on my mannequin and had a hard time getting the shrinkie out with 80% of them. I didn't have the same issue with those I pretipped with LG or Aleens and applied with a shrinkie. I don't know why. Maybe one of the senior members has a thought. Best wishes |

<Bumped> As to I am also curious about this method, I am hoping AMM will see this and advise. I thought this sounded like a great idea, but haven't seen many replies about this being a recommended method. |

| The theory is great, the tipping is easy, the install is fine....the removal was a b****. |

Not too keen on the removal either. You really have to get that top layer hot to start softening the lower layer.
I threw that out as another option for pretipping if you wanted to have double ended tips. For single strands, nothing beats good old fashioned time consuming, one-by-one tips with your favorite glue method. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |
