Just yesterday I received in the mail my new hair extensions that I bought online. I have had others before that where utter crap, plastic looking, and colors that didn't match the rest of my hair and I bought these at this over priced trendy salon in my town, they were crap.

But not the ones I just bought!

These ones I got online are absolutely AWESOME!!!!! and you can buy real hair at a cheaper price. The fact that it is real hair means that you can dye it any color you want and you can dye it more than once!! so I get to re use these over and over.

My hair is currently died platinum blonde and it is just past my shoulders but I wanted to have parts of it really long up to my waist it looks beautiful! And I wore it to school and the guy I like was totally eyeing me....and I'm not imagining things! hahahaha

Hair extensions clips (strips and bits):

The most practical and most sustainable in my opinion! These are long strips of varying lengths. These clips are attached to the hairline.
The Negative - You need to apply them and remove them daily.
The Positive - You can re use them and change them up to suit your style or outfit for the day. Hair extension clips can last several months, even a year or two all depending on the quality and care that you give them.


Extensions glued to your hair (fushion):

Get these done at the hairdresser, it lasts 2-3 months in all. It's a bit more expensive than extensions that clip on, but the effect is super nice.
The Negative - After a month, some little bits start to fall off and you need to apply more glue. When it comes time to remove the glue from your head there is a lot of damage done to your natural hair from the roots.
The Positive - You don't need to worry about applying them daily as they are attached to your head permanently. The effect is supernatural.


Extensions woven into her head (weave):

A technique that I know a little less about. This method consists of extension bands like those with the clip, except that they are sewn into your hair on french braids.
The Negative -If extensions are very long and heavy it can put pressure on your hair and pull it out. Extensive use of this method over a long time can cause thinning of your own hair.
The Positive - Again, you are not obliged to remove them and place them every day, it is about 1 to 2 months well sewn into your head. And finally, each tape is reusable for sewing again later in your head, so it is far cheaper than those that are glued on!

Have you noticed the amount of celebrities Ravishing Ravens who have all of a sudden grown long, flowing locks? The key to their fabulous hair is the clever use of hair extensions, carefully blended to match exactly with their own hair.
Hair extensions offer instant volume haute hair for limp tresses hair SOS or emergency relief from a disastrous haircut.
You can expect extensions to last up to three months.

Caring for hair extensions is a bit different from caring for natural hair. Some things that you should know.

• Use a soft bristle brush and brush your hair from the bottom and gently work your way up.
• Gently tie your hair up while sleeping.
• Do not color your own hair extentions at home.
• To prevent tangling, run your fingers through the braid extensions.
• Don't spray your extensions with conditioners or any silicone based products as they can cause the braids to slip.

How long can extensions be? Ellen Pompeo
You can have any length you want up to about 26"-30". Anything longer than this puts extra weight on your scalp which may lead to uneven pressure and damage to your own hair. The best looking hair extensions for average height women are usually around 22" or less.

How much are they?
It's all relative. Someone will do it for you for a few hundred dollars while others will charge thousands. Shop around, but remember that to get the best possible product you will pay a premium price. However, your hair will look great, it will last and you will feel terrific!

Can I wear my hair up? Heidi Klum
Of course, the hair extensions should not be applied any lower than the base of your scalp (approximately at the level of the middle of your ears) and so your hair under this point covers the extensions while you wear it in pigtails, ponytails - see Reese Witherspoon, french braids etc.

Does it hurt?
No! If it hurts get out of there! The extensions artist should braid the tracks firmly but comfortably. The tension should be even all over your head with no points pulling or hurting. Do not put up with someone telling you it has to be really tight in order to be secure. Pulling your hair out is not the idea. You will know you have something on your head for the first day or two but after that you won't even feel that they are there.
