I really can't say enough good things about them! As far as I can see the
main pros are these: no heat involved so I dont burn my fingers No glue involved to take down is easy peasy I can get conditioner all up in this piece and nothing falls out The only con so far: You cant use very thick tips because the inside of them is small. I have a full install, probably about 230 in all, and I've lost only two, and those fell out of the ring itself rather than the whole thing sliding out so I put it down to me not being able to see what I'm doing round the back. No slippage so far which is nothing short of a miracle for me! These are, by far the best method I've used for myself. I got these rings from Aphrodite, and I know she said that they were available in a larger size which I'd like to investigate so that I could use those around the back and underneath to get a little more thickness. Other than that, no complaints!! :) I will post pics of my install tomorrow :) P.S. I am using Amandas English Bohyme and I <3 that too! Very happy with this install! |

I have done many sets with this to and have to say I agree. I haven't seen any damage with theses either. They dont have the sharp edge other shells have and they hold much better too! I love them! ------------- |

If you buy your hair already pretipped, you can ask your supplier if they have a choice of pretipped by the weight. Usually the different sizes in pretips are: 0.50g/pc,0.80g/pc,1g/pc. The small sized threader used with the sizes 2.6mm and 2mm silicone microrings and the 0.50g/pc pretipped hair fit nicely! If you pretip your own hair, then ignore my post! ------------- |

thank you ladies :)
My hair is about jaw length at the sides, collar length at the back, I used 3mm sl-micro rings. elvira, I do pre-tip my own hair right now but I'd like to get away from that, especially since other people keep asking me to do theirs and I dont have time to do all their pre-tipping as well! I was thinking of buying the EP EZplugs to test out, I didnt see on the site that they came in different weights, but I will ask them. thanks for the tip! (pun intended!) |

hmph, my pic didnt work this time....
But thats the link for the back of it. Looking at it in a picture the blending isnt spot on, I might dye a few of those top ones to blend better.... I dont really think it looks quite as obvious irl, its hard to say when you only see the back in a mirror but I think the flash showed up the join more than it shows when youre just looking at it though :) |

C-Kristen, my sections are teeny, and I went really far up, I might actually
take a few of the top ones out because they are hard to hide with how much hair i left out, I was just trying to see how far I could take it! Thank you Sherrie! :) |
