Hi all! What do you think of my lastest experiment? I swaped services {she did my hair and I did hers} with flygirl. She is a DIY and gave me shrinkies and plastikhaar. Since they are less time consuming than the heat seals and pinchbraids as well as less bulkier and less noticeable, I'm sure clients will favor these. What do you all think? Do you think this is a 'seller'? Thanks, Charlene

You love it? WOW! Thanks! Well I wasn't too crazy about the pretips flygirl made She had a variety of lengths. The longest plastikhaar is ideal. With the shorter pieces, I blown them out and razored it to blend. Here is another ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

You mean this is a seller, Sher? Thank you Yes this is bulk hair pulled through inside the shrinkie with 1 tail in and 1 tail out. No pretips. I have to say the Amm's threader is THE BOMB!!! The tail technique is very similar to doing heat seals and pinchbraids. OMG!!!! I'm going to install this with my THERMOFIBRE!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

I've never seen an install like that before. That's pretty damn inventive. Do you have the Plastikhaar rings, Cyber? If not, you will die over the selection of colors. There's like 150 of them or more and they all look like ribbons of candy.
I agree about the EZ Threader. I load that thing up and do hair blindfolded now. Beautiful hair! ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Amanda chick, Sher & Kim- THANK YOU! Marie- you pin one tail up and leave the other tail down. Thread both hair and synth onto shrinkie. Heat. Bring down both tails. Presto! Amm barbie- I was trying to figure out how you did yours in a very old plastikhaar shrinkie install post. You had gorgeous red hair with a mix of hilites. I couldn't figure yours out as I was doing flygirl's hair and somehow just concoct a 'new invention' in the process. Had I been more prepared given the right length hair and with the system drilled in my head prior to install, this look would have been to die for! But I'm glad you all love my spontaneous 'install'! And I will buy the Plastikhaar color ring too. FYI- After sharing the plastikhaar website with my synth-lover client, I doubt she'll go back to prohair again. THANKS AGAIN! ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

Hi all I was not online yesterday. I am absolutely GUSHING over this hair  .
Charlene is nothing short of amazing. I have had extensions now
going on three years, and just joined this board six weeks ago. I
learned more from a day with her than I learned the past three previous
years. She is so talented, knowledgeable, and creative. And even
more so she's a great person who has a lot of patience thank
goodness  with a newbie like
me. She certainly has inspired and challenged me to learn and
practice . I will keep everyone informed of how it holds up and wears,
but so far I am in love with the Plastikhaar. Charlene if you
want to show the other pics from the side and front go ahead I don't
mind if people see my face. I got no less than 30 compliments on
my hair yesterday all from strangers.

Thanks Terilyn and Bridget! Plastikhaar looks prettier in person too! Keep us informed, flygirl, to see how this method holds up. If not I'm very dedicated to 'invent' an easier faster install with synth hair! Thanks for all your feedbacks! ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

| Can I ask you to explain one tail in and one out? I think I might have an idea but I'm not quite sure. |

Thanks Elvira- Yes, I did post it. You half the tails, pin 1 and with the other, thread both the hair and synth and shrink the shrinkie. Your turn to show pics!!! ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

Hey guys I really do hate to be the bearer of not so good news  , but most of the longest extensions applied like this have fallen out. I am putting them back in the same way, but using a little Proclaim glue underneath the shrinkie. I will let you know how this holds up. The good news is that I haven't lost a single one of the shorter extensions.

Charlene, Thanks again to you and your creativity! I haven't lost any of the ones that I have redone using a little Proclaim underneath the shrinkie, so that is good news. Easier and quicker still than pretipping. Let us know how the Extendmagic goes. |

O/T, but flygirl I guess your name is Teri Lyn? Just caught my eye as that's my full first name too, and I even spell it like that, 'cept mine is hyphenated. I bet everyone always spells your wrong, too ;) Fun hair, btw! I likey pink. |
