QuoteReplyTopic: Professionals Plz HELP!- Hair extensions Posted: September 11 2005 at 9:56pm
Ok so heres the deal. I've gotten Hair extensions before and they were always braided in and I got only a few at a time. Now, I want to get a full head so heres my question:
My sister said I should get braids cause it does not cause damage.
But
I've heard about Wefts and not causing damage
So, Which would you prefer? I can buy a kit off of ebay for about 50 dollars and its a weft and I can do it myself. $500 for braided in ones are NOT an option, but I need longer hair. Short hair was a big mistake.
Please help!

Braids do not CAUSE damage, however if you leave them in for a while
they will dread at the top as your hair begins to grow out and they are
very hard to take care of, washing and keeping them clean for example.
If you want them and you want them cheap (BRAIDS) get hair offline or
at WAL MART It is barbie hair but it works very good... and have your
sister put them in.
I had braids for three months and I loved them. I had them put in by a
woman who does them herself and paid 175 dollars for it. It took 9
hours to put them in. I am debating put them in again, but myself
this time, however I don't have the time or patience to do them.
It's very easy to buy the hair at wal mart and if you have a few
friends have them put them in. The only thing is you have to seperate
yoru hair into sections, make sure they are symetrical, sometimes you
have to braid the hair against your scalp to help keep a natural part.
etc. There is so many ways to do it.
It uses about ten-11 packages for hair to about the back of your bra.
and if you want them mulit colored use a few packages of each color, to
put in highlights etc.
I think im gonna stick to human hair so I can dye and straighten it. I've had fake ones put in and they seem to get into bad shape real fast if you don't take care of them.
Anyone else? Which do you prefer? Wefts or braids?

I suppose, you can curl the hair using warm water, and your nto gonna
wreck it. It's pretty neat. I liked the fake hair, it was cheap,
however yes, somewhat hard to take care of. I liked the dreads, however
the boy didn't. LOL
lol....ok well that sounds good. I can buy do it yourself kits...it costs about 65 dollars but thats not too bad. I want about 14 inches of hair. I have about 8 inches of my hair, and its too short....

Ive had hair extensions in on and off for years and years.
in regards to hair, you get what you pay for. I would not buy human hair with the express purpous of coloring it, it's been processed to death already.
