QuoteReplyTopic: Jenny, best 30 inch? Posted: February 05 2005 at 4:00pm
Jenny, I am still having a hard time choosing what to go with as far as 28-30 inch extensions. I want the best quality I can get, in wefts so I can sew on clips to them. They can either be wavy or straight. What have you tried as far as brands that may carry extra long extensions, and what do you think was the best quality? Also, do you have any pics of you in your extensions?
I remember your asking me this about a month ago, and I believe you thought that a shorter length (22-24 inch) might be long enough for you. You would have more options with a 22-24 length, as 28-30-inch is very hard to find. I also remember that you were opposed to synth, which makes the options even narrower. For what you want, you must get machine-tied weft, rather than hand-tied. That's critical.
For really long hair, try hisandher.com or hairaddition.com; if you're willing to go a bit shorter, try glamourhair.com, hairpiece.com, or Bohyme hair at ebonyline.com.
thank you. I decided to get the longer hair because I like really long hair. :) and I think I might just get straight hair because I ordered a waving iron so I can just wave the extensions and my hair so that the wave will be the same and it will blend in with my hair well. Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure if I specified exactly which brands I'd used before in the longer lengths, so here goes (all silky straight, by the way):
HisAndHer Cuticle Hair 28 inch, Black: Top-quality hair, shiny, tangle-free, durable--best hair I've ever used. Hairaddition Silky Straight by Sepia 32 inch, Pale Blonde: Substandard quality, too thin, not durable, tangled like crazy. Hairaddition Italian Straight by Wig Pro 32 inch, Pale Blonde: A bit better than Sepia's perhaps, but not much better.
Keep in mind that you will not necessarily have the same results. A lot depends on the batch and colors you get. I believe you want black, which should help a bit with the quality level.
when you got the his and her cuticle hair was it exactly 28 inches long? Did you get the hand weft or machine weft? I'm still a little confused with that. Both are on tracks right?
Here's the hair I got: http://hisandher.com/store/shop_product.asp?main=MAIN_001&sub=SUB_015&pro=7 in color #1 (jet black). I got the HWC (hand-tied), but only because the hair is longer. In my case (I'm not doing tracks or clips, but individuals), the kind of weft I use is immaterial. I suppose it's labeled 26-28. I didn't measure it, but I remember it being quite long, like 28. If you really need 30", you'll need to go with something else then.
If you're planning on doing clips with MetalGirl's technique (folding the wefts over and sewing with a zigzag stitch), then get hand-tied, if possible. Just be aware that if you cut the weft, it will unravel, whereas machine-tied will not.
Stock hand tied hair usually comes in 11" wide. If it's custom made you can measure your head from ear to ear and get the right width for you, also the right thickness. Jenny, you're a jewel. It's kind of you to help us all so much. You know a whole lot more about hair extensions than most hairdresser!! I'm still learning stuff from you.
Well, if you want that Sarah Brightman look, which is quite full, with hair that's about 30 inch, I'd think you'd need about 8 to 10 ounces actually. It seems like a lot, but I think you'd need to order that much to be on the safe side.
I'm not very good at estimating ounces, though, and I've never made clip-ins, so someone else should really weigh in on this. Get a few other opinions before you place your order.
There hair only comes in one color but because it's virgin remi hair you can color it any color you want. They're in india but they ship to you in less than a week, shipping is 40 bucks.
Some of their hair is inconsistent though. Sometimes you'll get a great bunch and then other times it's not that great.
They have a site where you can buy the hair already colored but I have a difficult time navigating it thought but here it is: http://rkhairproducts.com/online.html
I just looked at that indianhairs.com and it gave me the creeps. I don't know what it was but it just kinda hit me. Maybe it was the photo of the man with shears in his hand smiling like a jackal after whacking off the girl's hair. *shudder*
jenny, i was thinking about getting the his and her cuticle french refined since it is wavey, but it only comes up to 22 inches long. I noticed glamour hair has french refined in 24 inch. they both look the same. are they? if not, which is better?
AMM's wave looks amazing, but the photos you posted (the Sara Brightman ones), looked curlier to me, so you might want to go with a deeper wave than the French. (Keep in mind that the waves on sellers' websites are almost always tighter than they'll be after washing).
My feeling is that either one would be a good choice. The Glamourhair is a bit longer; I can't tell the difference in price, though, because there are no ounces listed.
do u think the water wave http://hisandher.com/store/shop_product.asp?main=MAIN_001&sub=SUB_015&pro=6would be better then? The only thing is, the wave is deeper than my natural hair. Do you think when I wash it, the wave will loosen up a little? I bought a waving iron maybe that would be able to get my hair to be as wavey?
