WOW! That is absolutely amazing! My bf has a little round balding spot in the back of his head. I wonder if this would work for him. Did you use the shrinkies.net shrinkies and just cut them in thirds? |

Amanda, that's incredible! So, did you cut the shrinkies in half or thirds! My husband needs this, LOL! He had hair all the way down his back when I met him, and not he's showing quite a bit of forehead.... So, can you take an up close photo? Are these undectable? Great work, you hair extension pioneer! ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Wow that's awesome! I guess there is hope for my father! Haha... poor guy (my dad that is)... I've never been daring to try something like this. How do you think it will hold being that he doesn't have much hair to begin with? It seems like it would be a similar job you might be able to do an a cancer patient... let us know how it holds up Amanda. Great job. -------------  http://www.YourHairShop.com - www.YourHairShop.com

i just want to know the cost of this technique and did it take 20 hrs.? |

Thanks guys Metal - I cut the shrinkies into thirds. You couldn't see anything apart from at the crown area but he is going to use some sort of fibre and a spray around that area because its so pink, but we are only talk about a tiny circle. Kristen - this will hold fine as I only put around 20 extension hairs to his two or three so there isn't a lot of weight on his hair. Rz - yes it took 20 hours. I charged him $800 xxxxxxxxxxx ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Good thinking! I bet that guy is stoked! How did you get a guy to be interested in extensions for that particular situation? I've seen some model guys add extensions to give them a little length or color but I've never seen it for building a new head of hair. It looks great. ------------- http://www.YourHairShop.com - www.YourHairShop.com

| Well, I can't wait for an answer about the burnt fingers question, but I have to chime in and say you are truly DIY, seriously I compliment you on your innovations as an extensionist. That rocks. Cheers. |

Without the safety of hair to protect the scalp I would've thought a template was used. Just another example of your skill!  ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Well we needed to get the shrinkies right down against his scalp so they would last a good length of time. I mean neither of us want a 20 hour stint once a month lol x ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Amanda, your hands are more valuable than a professional piano players! Your the most talented extensionist I've ever seen. Have you tried that with the Extendmagic yet? did you choose the shrinkies because you are able to get closer to the head? That guy is HOT with hair! What a deal for $800! Next trip, I'm off to the UK to get my hair done by Amanda! |

Ahh bless you thank you Elvira, we actually did a test patch with the extendmagic and it all fell out, that's why I thought up the micro shrinkies. He's just phoned me actually and he's well pleased, he's had one come out in a week x ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Amanda8Beechwoo - I'm sorry for buming such an old post, but I remembered this post when you post it, and I've searched like mad to find it again. So, my problem is that my sisters husband is going bald, but he has long, thick hair otherwise, and would like to keep it a bit longer (he's only 26). So I'd be very, very happy if you could post the pictures again (they don't work now; not so strange seeing the post is almost 1½ yrs old..). Sorry for bumping, again, but I'd really like to give it a go on his hair, and the pictures would help a lot! ------------- |

Hey now. Just got pics today of all my soap in the shops overseas. It's expanding to 5 countries, up from 3. It's one thing to package this stuff up and ship it, it's quite another to actually see everything I worked on filling the stores and get to see the Chinese translations for it. I can't be pulled off Cloud 9 right now, I'm telling ya. Shrinkies? What shrinkies!?
Actually I do have the micros if anyone needs any. They're on the "sale" page. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |
