For the shrinkies you use the I-tip. You can fuse the u-tip into an I-tip. The U-Tip is used for regular fusion though. I hope this helps. Goodluck on your intallation. It can be overwhelming, but hey learn as much as you can! Shiry

i tip and stick are the same they call it I tip cause its staight like an i. just like the u tip is called that because of its u shape. anyways, use the i tip for shrink tubes as it will fit. you could use u tip hair(i've done it to great lengths so that it is reuseable) if you go through each bond and melt it down(flat iron works best for this i think as it melts the whole thing at once). then roll it together really tight and trim the top of it. i hope this helps you! ------------- |

 Nailtip
The one on the far right with the black top shaped like a fingernail.
Itip//Stick Hair
The first,second, third,and fourth pretipped hair.
UTip
(picture not shown)
The Itip and the stick tip can fit something over it because they are straight and skinny. (like a shrinkie or a microring) They can also be heated with a fusion wand because they are made of glue.
The nailtip is wide shaped and is heated down with a fusion wand. A shrinkie would not fit over that nailtipped hair in the picture shown.
Yes, it's very confusing at first! |
