Getting Hair Extensions

I am excited to announce that yesterday I had hair extensions (my third time), and I absolutely love them. For some reason I have extensions because my hair is very thin and not really growing. The longest I've ever had in my hair grow a little 'past my shoulders, and is a fan of long hair, I had to do something! Therefore, I believe, are good for all hair with thin hair or hair that is growing rapidly. Of course, there are many ways to go about getting extensions, and I will list some of them, including those that are cheaper or more expensive.



My plug-in for example, are twisted and cut, and this is a cheaper option chosen. Basically it takes your hair and extensions, braiding together behind the head (there are about three lines of the head). Then, use about 10 clips from each line to ensure the best part of your head braided. As I said, this is your cheapest option, and can be run anywhere between $ 100 - $ 250. I'm very lucky, because I called the Salon set the appointment and told me it would be $ 175 more hair (which is anywhere between $ 50-80, depending on quality). Now you have to go buy your hair, and I was told to go to this beauty shop. To my surprise, the shop lady helped me not only my hair extensions to match perfectly, but also said it would make my plug-in very cheap $ 70! I was ecstatic, and to book an appointment the next day.



So in total I spent $ 120, compared with $ 225 that I had gone I spend at the fair. Besides this, the lady at the grocery store he did in an hour, which is a miracle compared to the eight hours I spent my extensions is the time. So the lesson here two above? Search in beauty supply stores and see if the extensions are stored will save you money!

It is also sewn in extensions. They do this by weaving your own hair and then sew in hair extensions. This is slightly more expensive, around $ 1000, and frankly, takes about the same as braided them. This method is best for those with curly hair, not too thin, silky hair.



Another way to get stuck on extensions, and I would not recommend it. Not only is it super expensive and it varies from salon to salon, but it is very unhealthy for your hair. I had a friend, get extensions bonded, and was horrified at the sight of her hair after she retired. It was essentially left with half his hair on his head. Although these were somewhat longer (about 6 months, compared to the other two, which last about 3), they are still not worth the money, or they give you problems after taking off.

Finally, I would say that hair extensions are a great way to have longer hair, fuller immediately. It will make you feel better about yourself, and are simply amazing! But do not think you need to spend a lot of money, do your research first and make sure that none of your extensions will not know what they are doing. Ask to see before and after pictures, if possible!
