I have had every kind of extension in my head and I absolutely HATED the micro rings!
I gave the silicone lined microrings a try one time last year because I couldn't find the shrinkies that I liked. I get all of my products from
http://www.manedepot.com/ feel free to pm me for more info.
What I like about protein fusion style extensions is that the resulting bond is a three dimensional cylindrical shape with smoothed edges that are created when you roll the bond between your fingers. When it grows out, there is not an uneven edge, it just flows into the strand.
When you close the microrings, you have a flat 2 dimensional square shaped surface. When it grows out, the edge of that flat surface irritated my scalp. I found myself constantly itching my scalp starting at about 2 weeks worth of growth because that flat edge was further away from my scalp and had more room to move.
Anyone else notice this? Maybe it's just me but I HATED the microrings and will choose shrinkies over them anyday.
