Hi

im new here and i was searching the board for clip on extensions and i saw that somebody posted that sleeping with clip ons can cause bald spots

i wear mine every day and normally i take them out but i used to sleep with the clip on extensions in for one night i brushed my hair back in a ponytail though so nothing happened

now im wondering what are single girls doing that use clip on extensions i mean if  they meet a guy .... im dating a guy and on each date i wore the clip on extensions because my real hair is horrible....now im wondering what should i do when im ready to spend the first night with him lol take them out in front of him lol ? i think he would be shocked and run away lol oh my god i know this is silly and i feel stupid for writting this but i really need some advice

and sorry for the bad english

That actually a good question

I'm going to be newly single again soon and wondered about the first kisses...you know, men love to run their hands through your hair. What if you have shrinkies or wefts or even clip ons, they can't. When do the single women tell their dates that their hair isn't all theirs????

I would not sleep with clip ins on.  Maybe just after 1 night they won't cause bald spots, but if you sleep in them regularly, than you would most probably cause damage.  Theses clips grip almost too tight, and then add the friction of the pillow, and that's the perfect condition to cause a friction bald spot.

I have many clients who don't opt to wear clip ins because of the dating factor.  For them, we do another method.

When I met my husband, I told him on the first date that my hair was extensions.  He said he was a little disappointed at first, but no big deal. 

Now after 9 years of being with him, I can wear clip ins because he doens't care if I take them off. Oh, the freedom.....

i wish i could try another method like great lengths (we only have great lenght hairdreams and racoon in switzerland) and theyre all hella expensive i cant afford to spend 1000 of dollars every 3 months  thats why i got the clip ins

In switzerland.  Sara is in Switzerland.  I think she is in Zurich.  Check out plastikhaar.ch or plastikhaar.com/shop
Its synth hair.  which some people like for natural colored extensions and some do not.  that's a whole other debate.  But I think she does PB's, heat seals and more recently shrinkies.

Even if you want Human hair extensions, which she does not do, she may know people who do them with methods other than GL's or raccoon.

And I always think about how weird it can be with taking my hair out when I'm using clip ins.  even though my husband knows (heck he helps with the more permanent methods) the limited hand through hair stuff does take some getting used to...

If I were in Switzerland, I'd go see Sara at Plastik Haar!  Her prices are much more reasonable than Great Lengths.

you could loop a whole bunch of hair through a bobble and tie up in a ponytail kinda like a messy bun. iv done this a few times wen i cant b botherd to put clip ins in . although guess it depends how thick you wear your extension
