Hair Extentions

Ok, I bought hair extentions tonight from
sallies for like 75 bucks, I'm having
problems. First of all, I bought the wrong
color, so I went out to kmart and bought 2
things of hairdye and I'm going to dye my
hair and the extentions and get them to
match to a better color.. hopefully.
Second, my hair is really short, and the
extentions are pretty long... they're 14
inches. I don't know if it's just me.. but
I feel like I can totally see my short
haircut AND the long extentions.. like i
just look goofy. like i look like joe dirt
or something lol like i have the short
hair and then just extra hanging.
im thinking that once i dye my hair and
the extentions and get them to match to
the same color it wont be as obvious that
i have them in, when you have regular hair
thats the same color & have layers its
not really noticable, so im assuming itll
be te same way with these, i dont know, im
just posting this hoping that maybe zanny
or anyone else who has experience in this
area could help me, i want it to look
cute.. i hate my short hair now lol

Are you getting them braided in or glued
in? When I use to work at a salon, for my
customers with shorter hair I braided it
in. It looks more natural. I only used a
couple of strands of their natural hair,
so nobody could really tell they were
extensions .

Actually, they're just flat clips. You
can't really tell that they're clipped in
or anything. I thought about taking the
clips off and then taking them to someone
to actually braid or glue in my hair, i
don't know if that's possible though? I
just have this big thing tomorrow and
wanted to look cute =( and now I'm all
frustrated lol

The clips can be removed, you just have to
be extra careful.

I got extensions once and loved it. My
extensions were really cheap and I went to
a training place for future hairdressers.
Sorry if this sounds stereotypical but I
went to a place where I knew a white
person wouldn't be working on my hair as
they generally have little experience with
extensions. The woman who ended up doing
my hair has been doing extensions for
life. I thought that it would be more
difficult for her to do my hair because my
hair is extremely fine. She was able to
braid the pieces in no problem. I ended up
spending $45 for her to braid all the
extensions in my hair. The actual hair
cost around $60. I thought it looked real.
It lasted for about one month. I believe
it would have lasted longer if I didn't
get such cheap hair.
I HAD to get extensions. I ended up with
the worst haircut ever and felt inhuman. I
felt human again for that month!!

I have had them a few times but always
bonded in. I used to have a hook up at
beauty school but everyone is long
graduated and im not in touch with any of
them. I know that in a salon they are
about 1200 bucks here but if you go to a
place where they do weaves and ethnic hair
i could probably get it done for like 100
bucks...
Terra..your making me want them again!!
I want them for Christmas

lol it's exciting & cool having long
hair again, I'm just gonna see what they
look like when my hair is all one color.
I just feel ike they look really thin.. so
you can see the short hair on my neck
& then the long hair on top of it when
I look in the mirror. Argh, I don't know,
I'll post pictures tomorrow =)

Lol Dani. You're cute. Terra- I knew you
shouldn't of cut your hair! It looks cute
on you but like everyone says it takes a
life time to grow and only a few minutes
to cut. I would NEVER cut off my hair
(trim, obviously) I know I would regret it

If the extensions are too long, why don't
you get a hairdresser to cut them for you?
(if you wouldn't do it yourself.. I
probably would, but I'm stoopid). I know
what you mean about the thickness of
them.. mine are the same.
I wouldn't have them glued in,
personally.. but of course that's up to
you. I like the fact that I can take mine
out whenever I want.. I usually only put
them in for nights out anyway.. &
they'll last a lot longer because I'm not
wearing them all the time. But it's
alllllll up to you, pretty lady! =)

i did the sew n one time and i dunno why
my hair is long but i wanted fuller hair
and boy did that hurt so be carefull doing
anything to your hair including dying it.
it stresses your hair out. what i would do
is take the extension to a professional
sinc you paid so much for them, i thnk
sally's got you lol sorry and let the
pro's do it. i bought 2 packs of human
hair for $50 and had so much hair didnt
know what to do but let them die and add
them in. i think long hair would look cute
on you

I would be careful with the whole dying
thing because they still might end up not
the same color. You never know with box
color, especially because you are starting
out with two different colors in the first
place.
Good luck and hopefully everything turns
out We always want what
we don't have. Whenever I have long hair I
want it short and then when I cut it I
want my long hair back...can't win...lol

terra maybe you could call around
hairdressers and see if they can put them
in for you? sometimes extensions can be
hard to get right when youre doing it
yourself
if you need some hair though call me
because you can have mine lol
i hate it
