Hey I'm usually a lurker and love this board! I have gotten so many amazing ideas from you ladies.

Can anyone reccommend a supplier that i could buy shrinkies from and which ones are the best to get.

I tried using them once before a tested it on my manequinns hair but it wouldn't stick when i pulled it it fell off and the hair was covered in gooey stuff so i gave up. maybe i should have washed the hair first??

i'm really in two minds are shrinkies worth the cleanup hassle or will i just stick with micro rings?

help

I am liking my sh******* thingies.  I have the premium adhesive lined ones, and rk hair, pretipped with keratin.  The only time any have come out, is when my toddler pulled 3 out.  Ouch!  Should have seen the look on her face when she had mommy's hair in her hands.  If you do them, definitely prewash with a harsh shampoo or even dishwashing liquid.  I washed all of my pretips with dishwashing liquid ahead of time.  And don't use conditioner on your hair prior to the installation.  Mine are staying put really well, and I use all types of oils and products on my hair, plus flat irons.  Where to purchase sh****** thingies?  I think maybe yourhairshop??

Here is a couple links to shrinkie companies. The only ones I have ordered are from shrinkies.net (Amm ) and drlocks.

International Wig, Your Hair Shop and Glamour Hair (who no longer sell them) do not offer adhesive-lined ones and those are the ones that will slip off unless you use tipped hair with meltable glue.

Here's another option:

Exact opposite.. adhesive lined = no slippage
