| hey girls, I'm trying to find some info on a system called extendmagic, its a machine that has rolls of glue tape inside that run over both upper and lower heating elements, and you apply hair cut straight from the weft (or however you get your hair) to the natural hair and press just like a normal heat wand. I found a website- http://www.hibraid.com - www.hibraid.com , but it gives no real info in english, what the glue is, how is it removed, where can I buy it etc. I think the company is Korean, and I'm stuck!! I'd love to hear if any of you chicks have come across this system before. Love to Amanda xoxo |

hi gorgeous, how you doin' married lady? Here's the thing, my sister in law is a stylist and the salon owners were raving on about this system, but are very secretive about it. so, she sneaked a peek at the packaging and came up with this website that is kind of useless. I can grasp the concept of the heat wand,it's much chunkier than normal because it houses the glue tape inside the main body which then runs over the ends, and when you sandwich the hair between the two sides of the wand it coats both sides with this thin tape. After that your guess is as good as mine..... do you roll it, how do you get it off etc. apparently it takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours to do a full head!!!!

That site is pretty cool. I can't imagine though, taking that big braiding/twisting tool up to someone's head, lol... what if it didn't stop twisting!

True Bridget, true, but check out the extendmagic tool under products on the menu, they have pictures of the extension system and even a mini movie (all in korean of course). I've managed to find the email address and I've asked for more details, hope they respond in english or I'm stuffed!! I was hoping that someone on the boards had come across it before so I could pick their brains. I'd just like to know why the owners of my sister in law's salon think it's so great and why they're keeping quiet about it

This is the link to the Hibraid website that is translated into
english. If the link doesn't work then go to www.google.com and
type in hibraid, the first search result is their website but click on
Translate page to go to the english site. The video and user manuals
are for the BraidMagic and TwistMagic, but nothing for ExtendMagic,
although they show stats and strength when you scroll down on the
ExtendMagic page listed under products. Hope this helps.....Trischell http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ko&u=http://www.hibraid.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhibraid%26hl%3Den%26hs%3DtGS%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official_s%26sa%3DG - http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ko& u=http://www.hibraid.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhibraid%26h l%3Den%26hs%3DtGS%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg .m ozilla:en-US:official_s%26sa%3DG |

| hi guys, got a reply back from the company in korea, it gives a bit more info but still doesn't answer my questions. However I have asked the nice man to refer me to the nearest agent, which I believe is in france and we'll see what we can dig up!! |

| well, got hold of the website for the agents here in the uk. Still not very comprehensive, but it's really new and they're still waiting for a lot of info from the inventor. apparently it's a cold bonding system!?! There is also a training school not far from me that has recently taken it on and the agents have invited me to go along for a looksee. here is the website: http://www.fastbeauty.co.uk - www.fastbeauty.co.uk The downside is that the machine costs £625, and each cartridge of tape (enough for 1 1/2 full heads) costs £21.95. I may well go and have a look but it would have to be pretty exciting to drag me away from AMM's shrinkies!!! |

OMG! The 3 and 4 strand twisting is amazing. Wonder if they make those tubes shorter so a DIY can do their own pinchbraids?
I found this automatic braider http://www.bodydeco.co.uk/acatalog/Hair_Briading.html - http://www.bodydeco.co.uk/acatalog/Hair_Briading.html - It looks like the same thing as the other braider. ?? If you look for Braid X-Press online, they're even cheaper elsewhere. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

| I just bought a conair hair braider at Brooks Pharmacy ($29.99) and thought I was going to be able to do pinchbraiding or something to be able to add hair quickly but I'm still experimenting with the damn thing! I didn't realize that they sold the 4 prong hair braider, I bought the 2 prong but at least I can try the braiding on my doll head and PH to see if there could be some way to make DIY quicker and neater. I would love to try that Extendmagic, that looks great. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know on how to add bulk/shrinkie/fusion to this hair braider. There has got to be some way to do it! |

Hey Amanda- I did further research and because of my reputation, the inventor gave me a ton of info. They are a very nice company and rapid in their replies. I have learned that the extensionist is able to extend hair to as few as 3 strands or as high as 100 strands without noticing any braids, metals, shrinks, glues, threads. They claim that the attachment fuses with the hair that one can slide a comb over it. It can be pressed straight or rolled. The real player clip, they sent, really amazes me. It showed people with very diffused thinning hair to the point that their scalp is visible to the people who want fashion hair lengthenings. I have also spoken to a stylist who has experiences with hot fusion such as Balmain, SoCap, Cinderella, Great Lengths, and the way she sounded is as if this was better. She will send me hair samples too and will sell the machine to me for less than half of the asking. Because I have been very busy, I don't plan on contributing as much. If anyone is interested, please PM me for further info. Miss you all, Charlene ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

Okay, I can't speak for the ExtendMagic, but as far as the BraidMagic-
that's the only braiding machine on the market thta I've seen that
makes actual -braids-. The other ones- Conair, Igia, etc- make twist
braids of various strands (i.e. 2-strand twists, 3-strand twists,
4-strands...not braids, mind you, but twists). You can tell them apart
because the BraidMagic thingy has clamps that actually move
independently, whereas the Quick Braider things just have prongs which
rotate one way and then a head that revolves the opposite way- creating
twists. IMO, the BraidMagic thing looks awesome- I HATE doing full heads of braided extensions because it takes forever to do the lengths. I am doubtful that the thing will be capable of braiding in extension hair tightly enough- that requires really precise tension distribution between the strands and the Braid Magic machine probably has the same tension on all strands. So you'd start the braid, braid for a few inches, and then attach the BraidMagic and let it braid the lengths. That probably also means doing loose extensions with it will probably not be possible, since there's no "lengths" to braid. Of course, I plan on getting this BraidMagic thingie now, since I have regular braid clients, so I'll certainly try it. If anyone comes across vendor information for it, or knows where I can buy one, please let me know! -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
