Hair extensions anyone?

Where to start, there are three different procedures.#1 cheapest is glue in. This is only a temporary way, like if your going out looks good only for a short and is fairly cheap. #2 Braiding this is the strongest and more permanent method it can cost between 2-8 hundred dollars depending on the hair real vs synthetic and where you get it done. It needs to be tightened up ever 4-6 weeks. These maintenance appts are 50-100 bucks per visit. #3 is an individual strand bonding method it can cost between 1000 and 1500 bucks it is almost undetectable and the strands need to be reinforced as needed and when hair grows out. Extensions are fun but be prepared for high cost maintenance. If you don't spend the money they can look very bad. Good luck!

If you want nice ones, they're expensive. They also hurt! I had them in the 90's for a little while, and hated them.

You can go to a hair or beauty salon and purchase Kanelon hair. Its real human hair, if you get your hair done use that kind or Yaky because they last longer and they look fake they look like your real hair....When gluing the tracks use the black glue the clear glue pulls your hair out and leaves you bald headed

First thing, please do not listen to any off these people!! Dont get cheep hair from sally's, kanakalon hair is not Real Human Hair, glue will not rip your hair out ( taking it out improperly will) and do not go to jc pennys! Shesh!!

If you want nice looking long lasting extensions, the best method is sewn in. Glue will last you about 2 weeks to a month and is a pain ( not to mentioned lot of stress and possible damage to you hair) to take out. Fusions do break your hair from the weight of the extension pulling on your actual hair as it grows out. Sewn in extensions are sewn on to cornrows and can last up to 2 months.

the best way to get a good sewin for cheap in my opinion would be to go to a black salon and get it done. African American salons offer extension or weaves as a common service. Due to the fact that it is a service that every competitor salon offers, extensions are priced to compete with the other area salons. Few white salons offer the service so the demand is higher and so are the prices. You can usually get a full sew in for 100 to 200 not including hair.Caucasion hair is usually much thinner and may not require a full head weave to achieve a natural look so ask about 1/2 weaves ( hair added from nape to ear) and prices by row. I find that lot of my white clients are happy with 3 to 5 five rows and we charge 30 a row.

Hair is another issue. No matter how good your extensions are, if the qoulitly of hair you have is not good, your extensions wont look good either. All 100% human hair is Not created equal. It may be a little too much to breack down how to tell whats good hair and bad hair so ill just give you brands.

Sorry that my answer is so long! Get yourself a cuppa and then settle down to read it...

Hair extensions can damage your hair, but I have had them on and off for the past five years, because my hair is extremely thin, so in my case, my natural hair is nothing to shout about anyway! I have not noticed any significant damage to my hair. I have them taken out from time to time to give my hair a rest, or to give my bank account a rest as extensions can be expensive!

I love the way they look and the confidence they give me. The main reason I like them is that they give my hair body, as I have never had thick hair. I have them for length as well, but I don't go too long - otherwise I'd just look like a lap dancer!

My hairdresser is amazing, and his extensions look really natural. Some celebs have awful extensions that look so fake and probably cost them thousands. My hairdresser is pretty good value. He does Sharon on Eastenders' extensions.

My hairdresser uses the Racoon Real hair system, which uses a glue gun to attach the hair. It lasts about 3 months before you'll need the extensions taking out and being reattached, as when your own hair grows, the extension bonds (where it joins your hair) moves down the hair shaft and starts to show. So the hairdresser reattaches them near the root. Your own hair covers the join. If you condition the extensions and look after them well, eg have the ends trimmed as you would with normal hair, you can use the same hair for several "re-attachments" before you'll need new extensions.

The cost varies according to how long and thick you want the hair, and also what colour it is. Blonde hair is more expensive as it is harder to get hold of. You can get highlights as well, for example, some light blonde extensions and some darker, and my hairdresser is amazing at blending the colours. He doesn't believe in dying or bleaching extensions though, as you don't know what the previous owner of the hair did to their hair in the past, so it could react badly, plus it damages the condition of the hair.

If you have extensions and decide you'd like to have more blonde in for example, he can take them out and add more blonde extensions, so that's actually better for the hair than bleaching it.

As a guide, my last set of extensions cost me 鎷?00 including the hair, but this is a bit cheaper as I'm not blonde now, I've gone back to my natural colour. Also I get a discount as I've been going to him for five years. I've never paid more than 鎷?00. It then costs approx 鎷?0 - 鎷?00 to have them reattached.

Some places charge way more than that for really bad extensions!

My hairdresser is in London and his name is Maurice Miller. He has salons in Marylebone and West Ruislip, and his salon name his MJM Hair.
