Supplies needed for the Shrinkies/shrink link system:
Rat Tail Comb for clean sectioning
Gripper clips to section off hair cleanly
Your choice of Threader
Your choice of Fusion Iron
I tipped hair-match to mid-shaft of client's natural hair, blonde is used here for demonstration purposes only
Shrinkies-match to client's natural hair, brown is here used for demonstration purposes only
Orange Oil solvent for removal
Do not cut blunt line into hair prior to installation of whatever system you use
If hair is cut blunt or if the natural hair has a heavy line, you
should shatter or texturize the heavy line so that the new hair to be
installed will blend easier and you will remove the blunt line
|
|
| Prepare
client’s hair for installation by using a de-toxifying or clarifying shampoo
making sure no conditioner or any other product is used aster rinsing. |

Sectioning
(1) To determine where the partings will
start, take a comb and place it at the top back of the head. Where the
comb leaves the head is where the parting will start.
(2) Make a parting from that point to the top back of the ear.
(3) Determine
where you want your first track to go. The first row is usually from the
back of the middle of the ear all the way across to the back of the middle of
the ear.
(4) There are many invariable in installing the strands. If the hair
is thin and shorter you may want to "pack them in" the first 2-3 rows;
this describes installing the extensions right next to each other
across the row and section the next row right above the previous row
leaving no hair out of the extensions.
(5) After establishing weight for the first 2-3 rows, you can now
"brick row" the extensions; this described installing the extensions on
every other piece of hair and on the next row above the row you've just
installed you will install an extension above an strand there there is
an empty space with no extension installed there. The effect will be
like a checker board; every other strand will be installed above every
other but moved over by one space.
(6) Continue up
the head until you reach the
top leaving enough hair at the top to cover the last row of extensions. |
|
Now that you are finished with the back you can start work on the sides in front.
Make sure all the rows follow the curve of the head.
You will
install about 3-4 rows of "packed in" extensions on the sides in front making sure you do not go all the way up to the hairline.
Start the first row
in the front side just above the corner of the eye matching it up to the corner
of a track coming from the back. |
Installing Shrinkie/shrink link
|
 |
| Section
a 1/4" square of hair from client's head (making sure to hold it
straight down so it will hang naturally, do not pull away from head).
Pull sectioned strand through the top of the pre-loaded looped threader
or through the hook if using the hook threader, resting your hand on
the client's head to secure section of hair. Do not remove the hand
securing the section of hair. The shrinkies should be pre- loaded on
your choice of threader. |
 |
| Rest
one hand on the client's head holding the sectioned off hair strand
with the shrinkie now installed, with the free hand insert the
pre-bonded hair strand into the link and hold with the hand resting on
the client's head. |
|
Using
free hand, with the fusion iron heat the shrinkie without squeezing too
tightly, just enough to shrink onto the hair extension. Do not damage the I tip or you may get shedding.
The
shrinkie & extension have now been installed making sure the link
is not installed too close to the top of the client's natural sectioned
hair strand and that the link & extension are installed straight up
and down, not pulled away from the head. The bond of the pre-tipped
extension should be fully covered by the shrinikie; it should not be
poking out of the top or bottom. It may be necessary to trim the bond
on the pre-tipped extension. |
