Shrinkies

Shrinkies are a heat shrinkable tubing that is lined with a keratin adhesive.

Shrinkies provide a wide range of installation options but are most commonly used to install I-tip prebonded hair extensions.

Shrinkies slide onto the natural hair, extension hair is added and heat is applied. The Shrinkie tube then contracts around and encloses the natural hair and extension hair. The adhesive lining provides a strong grip ensuring that your extensions will be long lasting.

To remove Shrinkies, heat is reapplied and the extensions and tube are removed while the Shrinkies tube remains pliable from the heat. If needed, orange oil or a few drops of acetone remove any remaining residue.

Unlike fusion bonds, the Shrinkies tube completely encases the bond and protects it from wear.

This makes the Shrinkies system one of the most durable and long lasting systems on the market!
