Wish I was like that. I'm blonde, then blonde then blonde.

Woo.

Yeah, it was amazing! I think since the prices raised a bit. I usually don't
match the colors, I either buy what color I want and match my hair to that
later, or I buy a lighter color and dye it to match my hair.

My hair is always changing colors, so even if I ordered it to match my
color, by the time I got it in the mail, my hair would probably be a
different color anyways! So I stopped worrying about it! I'm a chameleon

That's a really good price! The cheapest I've seen is $1.00 each.
When you're ording hair over the internet, how do you know the color you pick will match your hair?

With the tips, it really depends. Like with the supplier I mentioned above,
I got 200, but only around 150 fit into my hair (again, they were bigger
tips than I had ever seen before) but with another supplier and the lush, I
had to double them up, and they still weren't as thick, so I ended up
using all of my 200 tips, and about 75-100 more of other random hair I
had around.

For a full head they usually say 200. But there's lots of factors, so I would
say if it's your first time, order more (probably closer to 300) to ensure
you have enough. If you usually use "HUGE" amounts, maybe order even
more, if you think it's good hair and that you will like it.

Other than fusion, of course I like the microlinks, but I hear great things
about the silicone lined microlinks, check them out!

That's what has put me off, the volume factor. I tend to use a HUGE amount of hair so it makes me wonder how many pre-tips I'd have to use to achieve that. Presumably this will vary from brand to brand. Maybe someone could help me with this?

Other than fusion, what technique do you think could be a beneficial one? x

It was the perfect texture, and just handled and lasted really nice. The
suppliers he wouldn't tell me which was which, so I'm not really sure, he
said they are both really good and similar (of course he is going to say
that though.) I got 200 strands (they were really thick and nice tips), it
was 12" or something, for around $50.

The lush I really didn't like that much, this was much much better than
lush. I still have this hair, I've decided to stop doing strand-by-strand
because of the time and I can't get the volume I want. I think I could wear
the hair many more times, it's wonderful.

Goodluck! I don't know what to tell you. My favorite pre-tipped hair
actually came from eBay. It was from redstar.mike, it was amazing,
beyond amazing hair. But he now has 2 suppliers, the supplier I got hair
from, and another.

But, it's absolutely the best hair I've had. I love it.

But that's all I have for you, goodluck, hopefully more people on here can
help you more!

I'm about to venture into the world of pre-tips npw and I'm looking for advice.

I've seen loads of related posts on here in the past and although I think I've got a decent idea about it, I'd really like any recommendations if possible.

Any advice on best ones, best extension wands etc..it may sound basic and daft but this bits all new to me!

Basically, I'd like to offer more than pro-flex and fusion and I'm looking for any advice.

Many thanks all.
