What Are Shrink Rings?
Shrink tubes/ rings are one of the
newest methods of Hair Extensions.
They are tiny transparent plastic
tubes keratin protein lined thermal
shrink tubing. A section of your
natural hair is inserted into the tube,
then the extension is inserted
alongside your hair. The tube is then
shrink-wrapped around both the
extension and your natural hair
using a fusion wand, creating a
strong invisible bond without the
use of damaging glues or
chemicals. This method is ideal for
damaged hair.
