I am new here and have been reading and reading!!!  This is an awesome website.   I have decided on the method I want to use, Shrinkies.  I ordered the Purging Tool from Kristin at HairCandy.  Now I need to know the best hair to get.  I'm really confused My hair is naturally curly but I straighten it, still it has a course texture.   I saw Pre Bonded Human Hair with body wave at Doctored Locks and came close to ordering but thought I would post here to get some of your views.  I definitely think I want the PreBonded hair, I need the easiest way possible to do this.  If you know of websites to order from that would be great.  Please, please comment on what you love. 

I also read about you guys loving Plastikhaar but I am confused by their website!!  I just need advice. 

What about the Extendtubes to those who use them???  

 Please help!!!!!!!  I appreciate any advice and send thanks in advance.

you can pretip yourself.  which will expand your choices.  If this is your first time out and you aren't dead set human or synth I think synth is the way to go.  If you need hair that is easily exposed to heat styling give wawa a go.  It's cheap and you can curl it (by the straight and curl it, don't get the wavy).  YOu probably won't wear the first head you install super long nayhow since there will be many a kink to work out.  Then you don't have to feel bad baout wasting all that money on super nice pretipped hair that cost a fortune.  Then again if money is no object go get yourself some pretipped extensions plus hair or maybe pretipped bohyme. proven quality and at four times the cost of wefted or bulk you don't even have to do the tipping yourself.  remember you will want in the neighborhood of 200 tips.

The PH site takes some practice.  If you are going to use PH (which I love) you need to remember that at least for a while yet sara doesn't offer pretipped hair.  And that you w/ill have to be more careful in heat styiling your natural hair...

I have tried microrings (very similar to extentubes) I liek them.  I like shrinkies better except for putting in tracks.

hopefully you've alreay read the 101 and bridget stickies, they have tons of info.
