QuoteReplyTopic: finding good clip-ins Posted: July 12 2007 at 1:42pm
I am at a brick wall, i want to get clip-ins for occasional wear but i don't want it to look all ratty after like 5 times of wearing it out. I've looked at synthetic (toni bratton, jessica simpson...) but i am so scared that i am gonna get a real heavy fakey looking shiny thing, and with human extensions i don't know what the best way to go is, i have been looking an reading but nothing really answers what i need. any help would be great.
i would wearing them 2 or 3 times a week once in a while when i wanna look a extra bit special
Id suggest getting the hair of your prefrence (synthetic or human) and making your own clips. that way you know the quality of the hair, you can have them made specifically to fit your head and you will hve a better color match.
a well made synthetic won't leave you looking like you stole your barbie's hair, but sometimes they are a bit shinier in the package then they will become after you wash them because like hh they can be coated in silicones to increase shine.
Yup and i actually cut off the clips and wore them with some nasty latex glue for a few weeks - its in great shap and I flat ironed it to blend with my curly hair on a daily basis.

Wicked Hair may be great, but, I emailed her with a couple questions about her clip-ins and she never returned my email. When I say a couple questions, I asked what type of curl they were and if she had my color in stock....Pretty straight forward. I don't understand having a website and not returning emails.

I know she had some serious problems in the past few months, a case of identity/account theft. She lost accounts, money, passwords to accounts, etc... and went through some serious crap trying to get things back on track.

i will have to check out her site... I think i will more then likely go with the Euronext extensions for now. i was thinking and reading on making my own extensions as mentioned by bunny wabbit but i am no Martha Stewart maybe when i have some extra moeny i will try it and see how it turns out.
any one else have some input? i love to read what others have to say
ok, i was thinking (watch out!) If i got some of that Sassy hair or what ever its called its in a orange package at sally's, would that work for making my own clip-ins? or is it so cheap it will only last 5 times of wearing it? i seen that it comes in a 18in and the Euronext only goes to 14 in.
I've heard the sassy can be good for short term installs - so they might work out ok for clip-ins but I have no person experience so I can't say for sure. I can say that the Euronext under estimates by saying its 14" it was more like 16" as I remember it.

I think Sally's clip ins will be fine because you won't have to wash them every time you wear them.
With that said, I would give wicked hair another try because she carries a better product than Sally's and she's a doll. (well, she's not literally a doll)
good i was hoping to get either a 16 or 18 inch extension. i have my sister wanting to make extensions now she is a bit more crafty then i am lol.
dose any one eles think the sassy collection hair would be good for clip in extentions? she is tight budgeted and has a up coming event that she would like to make them for and lives across the street from sally's so she could easliy get them if they are worth it
Sometimes, when I think someone has not returned by email. I look in my bulk or trash folder and the emails are there. This happens more than often with email addresses that start with info. You should check your email spam settings, as that might be the problem.

I have tried Glamourhair.com clip in's and I did not like the quality. In fact, I have wasted money on their seamless hair, as well, only to be disappointed also. So I can only speak from experience, glamourhair.com clip in's will disappont.
I tried pre-fab clip ins at one point and they were too heavy and would not stay put in my hair. I never felt confident wearing them.
I now wear a sew in but I would be willing to try clip ins again at some point if someone could recomend a type that is very light weight and grips better on fine/thin hair.
Your hair looks similar to mine in density (if the avatar is you that is) so this may very well be another consideration. You can also use a lot of hair spray and styling product to kind of make your natural hair more sticky and that helps them grip but who wants to do that all the time and kind of defeats the purpose of having nice, flowy hair.
