Ok so its been awhile since I've worn any extensions.I used hair I got from Indianhairs.com.The looks and feels beautiful.It was worth the money I spent.I installed with liquid gold(personal preference).I put wefts all the way up to the top of my head.They are literally sitting over my part.My hair is super short so i needed to cover it all.Then I used a frontal I made out of a crappy lace wig I had.This is the result.I'm actually suprised how well it turned out.And here's your hair porn,lol.With all the pics I took you would think I'm full of myselfLOL.

well hey, you should be full of yourself!! you're super cute and its hard to believe that's not all your own hair.....i'm not as brave with the LG, i just use dabs of it here and there and so far it's really been a B#&$@ to get out, what do you use to take down your LG installs?

You guys are so sweetTongue.
 
Nursie: I use goo gone to take out LG.But In the past I just used olive oil and conditioner.It is a pain to get out,but it holds so much better for me than protacs.Plus I just found out how to make it gooey again after getting too solid.I had half a bottle I thought was useless.
 
Stacey m:The frontal peice really is what made it possible.My hair is only like 3 inches long allover.I only left a tiny bit of hair out at the very front.
 
NakedEye:What are you talking about.I've seen your pictures and your gorgeous.
 
Yorkieluvr06:It really easy to DIY,plus loads cheaper.I have no doubt you'll be showing off your new install soonWink.Plus it gets easier with every install.

How lovely- long hair looks wonderful on you. You're beautiful.
Good job, too- using the frontal. Great idea. I cannot believe your hair is only 3" long-- nice!  Clap

Looks really thick & pretty.  I can't believe your hair is actually short either.  Great job!

Hi Longhairdreams!
Congratulations!!! That is an amazing work you've done, it's hard to believe that your hair is so short!
I feel like a puperwoman when I do my hair extensions install but you must feel even better, if you had very short hair to start with.
I am very impressed, especially the fornt thing -I have to say I am not sure what it is, a part of a lace front wig? but then can you keep it on?...Geek- anyway, be proud of yourself, your hair looks like the job of a professional hair stylist!!!Clap
And you're a very pretty girl too, which helps!

LOL frenchie@ puperwoman.Its always a confidence boost to get long hair.The front piece is called a lace frontal.I used it to hide the wefts that went all the way up to the top.Because of the lace base its super light and less bulky.It really makes a difference and its alot cheaper than a full lace.
 
Amanda:Yes I finally lost the last of my stubborn baby weight.I'm sure the hair is slimming.So I have new hair and a new body.Thanks for noticing.it was no easy feat.I love my kids but they sure did a number on my body,lol.
 
You girls are great.I was pms' ing(TMI) until I read all the sweet comments.

You and your hair are just GORGEOUS!!   great job, hon--- i have to ask you, w/the lace frontal piece, how exactly does that work w/the wefts?  does it stay on your head too?  Or, do you have to take it off at nite?

Its a closure.And it sits on top of the wefts.I glued it down with lace glue.So Its on there better than my wefts,lol.If you look at the last pic you can see where it starts.It looks kind of yellow(overzealous knot bleaching).
 
Ok so pics arent working for me today so here's a link to a vendors fotki.He has pics of the inside and outside of frontal and closure's.Not sure of the exact difference except closure's look to cover a little more area.
 
 
P.s. I didnt get it from him.I'm just using his pics for reference.

Hi Longhairdreams! How long can you keep the lace front wig? Can you wash you hair with it too?
I have been looking more closely at the last picture and I can't see anything that doesn't look like your own hair! Great job!

Wow longhairdreams!!! You look gorgeous! Great job!
When you take down the LG using goo gone, do you have to wait a while before you
attempt to take the wefts out?

Frenchie:I could wash it,but I will probably remove just the closure when I do.Lace peices are fragile and it wouldnt be good to wahs it while attached.It literally took two minutes to put on in the first place so Its no big deal.

Thanks darling nikki your too sweet.

Malibu:I soak the tops of my wefts for like fifteen minutes and they fall out on their own.This stuffs definitely not as scalp friendly as normal orange oil.It can cause a little bit of irritation I found.But I'm impatient,and this gets them out quick without me ripping my hair out,lol.

Sherrie:Thanks,that means alot coming from you.Your installs are fabulous.

Hal:Here are some before pics.You can see how short my hair was not long ago if you check out my hair journal.
