all you need to know about EXTENSIONS

[luvsic]

Hello everyone!!

I recently bought EURONEXT 14-inch clip in hair extensions at Sally's, they were about 70 dollars but you get SO many wefts of hair. Although I had a few problems blending them, they make me have the long, luscious locks I've always wanted. I would recommend making them a little wavy or adding some texture (just style them like you would your own hair) because if they're completley straight they look a little too unnatural. They're great if you have short hair, just be sure to get the one that matches your hair color or else they'll be obviously fake-looking. I got dark brown, and it's lovely, it's a little lighter than my hair color but I can dye it (in the meantime it just looks like I have highlights) I can't stop raving about them! They're pretty long, they go all the way down past my boobs. They're definitely just for fun, as I wouldn't wear them every day because at the end of the day they kind of weigh your head down, but at least you know they're secure =P I straighten them and curl them, and use product in them, and they hold find cause they are 100% human hair. You can wash it and everything, they tell you so on the instructions. Once I grow my hair out I will use them for volume.

barbie.doll, thanks so much for your help! One box is plenty, and although I have a *few* blending problems, I know those will go away once my hair grows out a little bit...anyway, my head couldn't fit anymore extensions haha. I couldn't be happier for the price I paid. Also, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask! Sorry, I don't have a picture but trust me on this, they're a great find.

I got Racoon extensions yesterday - due to hair loss associated with poor nutrition, poor general well being and Crohn's medication my hair went very thin. I was advised by a trichologist to lose the wefts (mine were heavy and starting to pull!) and go for these to hopefully prevent any traction hair loss. I went to show them to her today and she seemed much happier that I'd taken her advice and put me on Minoxidil 4% to help kick start more regrowth of my own hair.

I absolutely love them, they seem a good solution and will last longer term. They look so natural and have been so neatly applied, plus the salon will check them every 3 weeks for free. I love having hair again! I'd definitely recommend them however the only downside is the large price tag associated and the 6 hours it took from start to finish, but it's given me renewed confidence so it my eyes it was worth it. Any one else have anything similar? Any experiences to share?

Thanks for this information! I'm getting married soon and was thinking about purchasing extensions for the wedding. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around paying all that money just for one use.

Im going to Sallys to have a look at the clip in extnesions, i want the best colour match possible, its the human hair ones i want as i want to be able to style them, are they fairly easy to attatch?

Does anyone have any experience of American Dreams clip in hair extensions? ive heard a few good reviews on these from Youtube and i know Sallys sell them, i was hoping to try the Euronext ones but the UK Sallys dont stock them so i think American Dreams are the way to go, will update when i see them.

So i went to Sallys to have a look at the American Dreams extensions and i wasnt impressed, they were not very thick and were all ratty at the ends so i ended up ordering online with HeadKandy.com and i got the extensions today, WOW, these things are gorgeous, the colour isnt a perfect match but it blends in with the colour, i would reccomend them to anyone.

I have a full set of Remy human hair 25" extensions that I bought off ebay for like $50 I think it was. And then I have a synthetic 23" wavy Jessica Simpson Hairdo piece that I got for half price, like $45 off ebay. I love them both, but I like the wavy one a little bit more because I'm too lazy and like just having the one piece to attach.

I have super fine and thinning hair to the point you can see my scalp on the crown. I am able to mask that with two things but I wanted to bulk up the rest of my hair so I went to get a consultation about extensions a year ago almost to the day. The place I went to did a great job and because my hair was so fine/thin/fragile they only used half the thickness of the extensions as they would've for a normal person. They were the hot fusion type and human remy hair. They hurt like heck the first few days and I found it very hard to wash my hair the first month or so. All and all I really loved them. For once it didnt take me 2 hours to get my hair to look decent and not like threads hanging. Unfortunately I did get 4 small sections that got matted together but it was towards the time they were to come out. I literally cried when they took them out because for almost 5 months I was so used to seeing normal hair for once in my life and was left with my horrible thin hair. I couldnt afford to get new ones since I was laid off and I'm glad I didnt because they did damage my hair. Mainly it seems on one side in the front the hair is broken/frayed where the bond were .

I use HeadKandy and they are actually very good! And reasonably priced too.
