thats what i heard they use too, it doesnt melt down, i have applied hairlocs with shrinkies and they didnt budge at all , in fact when i took out the shrink the hair and bond was great

when i applied the hairlocs hair with amms shrinkies i did NOT put anything on the tips at all. They stayed in my client for over 5 weeks then they started to slip out, she has always had a slippage problem and this method has stayed in the best. she loves them. She is due to come in this week for maintance and to reapply the ones that came out. she said she hasnt felt any residue of anything left in her hair after some slipped out. When i do her maintance, i will report further.

I think the Euroloc hair was also tipped with a wax like substance, and I did try use those strands with the MB shrink links and did not have good luck with it.   I found that the heat melted the wax tips and the hair either shed or slipped out. 

yes i will tell you for sure- maintance i mean yes i will take them all out, deep condition, trim and then blow dry then reapply her hair back in. I will take good mental notes to tell all.

i did notice when the shrink and strand came out of her head, when i applied heat to remove the shrink off the strand, the hair was intact and so was the bond!

that i know is a good thing!

msft~ where are u located? i did notice the tips on the blonde hair are somtimes thicker.

this will be my first time{{{virgin}}}}}

she comes in on friday- i will report right after that!

Amm will your remover remove the LG?

Off subject but I was thinking ya know what I want are shells with a ruber coat inside so they wont slip. A drop of oil after opening would let them slide off. Not sure if they would go on easy though.Amm or maybe the are in house teck Mocha? Just think no adhesive and I think the cush the rubber or silicone posibly would be less damaging . I also want a plier coated with teflon so it wont chip the shells. This is my dream extension!!! I know someone can make it hapen

okay- update on maintance with shrinks and hairlocs hair.

she had about 20 strands that had come out after 3 full months of wear and for her that was fantastic.

( Funny~all the while i am doing this i am thinking how i will repeat back to the board what i did and the outcome~ funny huh??) i couldnt take the time when i was done to go online from the shop cause i was slammed ALL day with maintance.

ok-

the ones i had to move up i did this-

i heated with wand and slid out the hair, it was intact and the bond was still great,there was NO residue from the bond of the hair and since the heat was on it, i didnt have to heat or spin it- it was already done,

the shrink stayed in  so i again used the wand and slid it all the way out.

i did this to three of the strands. then i staurated a cotton ball with the shrinkie remover,and gently swiped it on the left over residue from the shrinkie, then i rolled my fingers on the hair and it flaked off, some of them needed a gentle combing to get it out, otherwise it came out perfectly. i then reinstalled the shrink and hair on same hair, moving it above the oil. Then i moved on to the next three.

i moved up over 125 of them in 1 1/2 hrs. she totally LOVES them and we feel this is a great success. The maintance for me took a bit more time then a typical hairloc maintance, but once i get the groove going with this it will go quicker.

usually to do a full head of maintance with hairlocs(200 plus) strands, it takes me 1 1/2 hrs

hope this helps~

Frankly, under clear shrinkies, the tips blow goats. There's way too much nail glue needed to protect them. I stopped using the wax and went back to the latex/Aleene's combo.

ahh

but theoretically it should work under a microring as no heat is needed?

i thought latex was really bad for shedding? and whats aleenes?

ok ms-

i do one at a time- but i work on three-  so i take one out, move to the next one, and the next one, then i go back to the first one and apply the remover on each of them, then i go to the first one again and reinstall the hair, sometimes i could tell which section had the hair but it doesnt matter, i can just devide the small section into three and apply and then move onto the next three.

i use the origional threader. i can get quite a bit of hair and pull it thru- it takes some manuvering but u can do it.just grab what u want and it will pull right to the shrinkie.

yeah my new tool is really cool

where do u live?

mocha- how about a tool that u dont need tips??? i have one comming~

i found a place to get this tool~ more details comming. (i"m having some made!

Sand- this is great news!  So you reinstall the shrinks and pretip-glue hair immediately? 

This is what I've been looking for!!!  When I do metal reinstall, I remove everything and wash client's hair 3x to get rid of residue so client's hair extensions won't slip.  I never lose 1 single strand when I do my 3x washing!

But you say you don't wash client's hair, right?  I would love to try that!!!  Just imagine, I don't need to worry about which length strand goes here or there cause hair extensions has already been cut!

I'm very curious to know how long your client will have her "no wash" Move-Up-Shrink-with-Glue-Pretip in for!

And I only thought shrinks was only for silicone tips.  BRAVO SAND!!!

Keep me posted!!! Char

ok mocha-

i am having a tool made that is similar to the one i use but even better- it will be eronogmically correct 9will fit into our hands with a curve)

instead of using the metal tips to insert into cylinder and pry it open, it will have a space to just close around the tube and then it will round it open, no damage what so ever!

Char- yes i reinstalled immediatley- when i put the shrink back on, it was above the oil. Client shampoos own hair and during regular shampooing, the oil washes right off!

when i do cylinders, i do the same thing, except i dont use ooil or anything, i just open up slide up and reclose. If i neec to i comb out shedded hair, otherwise the shedded hair gets brushed out when i am all done. sometimes i do chemical after like color or weave so when done washing the rest of shedded hair comes out.

:)

And will that tool also be made for lefthanded extensionists?

Sounds like a great idea!
