Hair Extension Advice!?

I'm debating on whether or not it is worth it to save up to have extensions glued into my hair. I'm really uneducated about the process/effect it is going to have on my hair. How long do they last? How much does it cost to do it on your own? Is having them sewn/braided more safe? Thankyou :)

Glue = yuk! The process where they use glue is better used for temporary. Like photo shoots, events (dances, balls etc) or for a one week style without washing. Meaning, if you get the hair glued in you can not wash it. Otherwise they will slip out. Not only that when it is time to take it out, you have to be super careful, because it will take some of your hair out. Bond remover is recommended for at home removal so that the damage is less severe.

Braiding and sewing is a little safer because you can use synthetic hair in the braids and two, you can wash your hair. But, you have to be careful when cutting these out, as you can cut some of your hair too! This also will last longer too. the more you take care of them, the longer they last.

If you have an event and just want to glue them in yourself, you can get the glue from a beauty supply for about $1-$2 and using a human hair in a package from Outre or Milky way (about $20-25 a pack) can save you tons of money! You can also get clip-ins from beauty supply stores. This is a weft (track of hair) with sewn on that you can just clip where you want!

Extensions though can range anywhere from $10-$20 a track,$75-$200 a head in some African-American salons. Or some salons who don't specialize in it can charge up to $500 (ridiculous). Ask some salons in your area if they do "weaves" or "extensions" and shop around. Really and truly extensions have been around for a long time and anything over $200 is extreme.Some stylists charge a lot because of the quality of hair and the clientele they carry. Anytime you pay over that, it should be 100% Remy, Indian hair (some of the best) that is weighed and matched to you texture and it should be someone who has worked with weaves and stars often.

If you aren't 100% sure about getting them glued in why don't you just buy a pair of clip in extentions for now and see how you like them, if you like the way your hair looks when your wearing them etc.

I personally think clip in extentions are easier because you can put them on and take them off when ever you please but i guess some people might not like that soo.

when you go to take out your glued in ones theres a good chance you will lose alot of your hair.

If you are willing to buy the clip in ones instead they are pretty cheap at Sally Beauty Supply + Jessica Simpson has a hair extention line and they are said to be pretty good, so maybe google that.

hope i helped :)

Ok personally do i think it's worth the money-NO. If they are glued into your hair-does that even sound good?? eventually you will have glue in your hair they fall out (and you never know when they will)-there is glue remover but it still damages your hair. extensions are a long process and very expensive. i wouldnt even attempt to do it yourself. it may sound easy, but its really not. having them sewn in with a braid-worst thing you could do to your hair. ive seen peoples braids and hair eventually fall out. if you decide to get extensions, the way to go is with the ones that are individually placed on pieces of your own hair. they are still pricey but they look more natural-still not good for your hair but healthier than the other ways. personally i know it takes alot longer....i would just let my natural hair grow.
