I had quite a bit of extentubes slip out over the past few weeks (at least 3
every time I shower). I'm not sure if this is because me hair is so fine or what???????? Anyways any advice on this one?? thanks ladies! |

it could be a number of reasons, i once found that i wasn't pre tipping big enough strands and the grip wasn't good enough. have you got enough haur and extension in the tip to get a good hold? ------------- *jodie* X |

Hi!
Before I install any hair I wash it really good with a clarifying shampoo 3x and very little conditioner on the ends. Then I determine the width of the strand and take equal amounts to the width of the tube, ring, coil, shell, locs, metal {whatever}. Finally I squeeze really tight. If you squeeze hard enough, the hair will not slip and no grease or chemicals can get inside the closed metal. Be careful if you have to use a really expensive clamp like the EuroLocs ones because as I was closing tightly, my clamp broke {darn!}; so I now use a really cheap clamp from a craft store. Oh yeah, be careful too when closing the metal tight, because the metal clamp can chew off your hair. 
Best of luck, Charlene ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

I've always had trouble with rings/extentubes slipping until I started
double-ringing them. Basically, just thread two rings onto the strand
of hair instead of one, and clamp one down in the normal place and the
next one one-eighth of an inch below that. Seems to have solved any
slipping problems so far! -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
