newbie to the forum and a q about exten..

PS I live in the Valley in So Cal, and does anyone know of a place I can get tracks put in for about the amount or less listed above? I use to go to a lady in OC is good, but it takes alomost 2 hours with traffic.  I did once go to a lady at northridge mall at regis, she was fast and about the same price, but the tracks started coming out after a week (never had that before) so I really dont wanna go again.

Thanks again!

Bon

Oh I thought that was the same thing??  What is the difference, just brand name?  where can I get them?

Thanks!

No no, shrinkies are small tubes you heat up that shrink around your hair
and the extension hair. That's the strand by strand method I talked about.

The pro-tacs are strips of glue-y tape that you put in your hair, you can
use the wefts for this.

I do have them sewn in now, and was told about the shrinkies as an alternative.  If they arent an option for me, I would also like to know where to go to get them sewn in around here if the shrinkies arent what I am looking for. Sorry if I confused u. :)

I am in Van Nuys too.

Tracks and wefts I consider the same thing, so, not too sure there. It
depends on what type of hair you want. It can range greatly. You can, for
example, buy cheaper hair at the beauty store for around 5-30 dollars a
pack, or pay more, around 100 for nicer hair.

With the protacs, you just buy that, and possibly some remover if you
want, you don't need a heating tool.

Hey neightbor! I live in the Valley too.. My recommendation.. Jonathan at Elite Salon in Woodland Hills.. He's a doll, and he's GOOD at what he does..

Tell him Crystal sent you if you call..

and ty!!! :)

oh ok TY. I think her name was Tameka, she was soo nice and did it so fast (compared to the lady in OC) but after a week they started coming out, i was so bummed.  I couldnt get em fixed bc i was traveling and out schedules didnt match up, so it was a disater. I ended up just going to the lady in OC a mo later.

If you do pro-tac, you basically tape the weft aka track to the tape
and then tape that to your hair. People say it lasts 3 - 6 weeks.

His and Her's on Wilshire also does tracks. I wouldn't buy your hair there.
I would check Divavocal's person first but if you're worried about money I would consider the pro-tac or clip-ins which is what I do.
