Oh Ammmmmmmmmm, where are ya girl? I'm the one you don't know how to respond to. I have Hairlocs and was wondering where to purchase supplies to do my own maintenance. Jenny suggested quite a few web sites, however, they all say in small print that they don't sell to the public and that you have to be a licensed beautician. Got any ideas? Thanks
I had 50 new locks put in yesterday and I have already lost about 3 or 4. I'm thinkin I need to try another method because these copper bonds are just not staying in my hair.

Oh! And Amm, I forgot to mention how beautiful your hair looks. It looks exactly like what I'm looking for.

Jenny, about the lighter colored extensions... I agree with you, mine were blonde too.

the thread I posted about animal hair... I'm sure the white belly hair could be dyed blonde and maybe be better than lifting so many shades on the Asian... what do you think?
It is what it is...

Lisa: Again, all you need to do is order the extendtube kit from hairpiece.com: http://www.hairpiece.com/product.asp?pf_id=APE151 They absolutely sell to the public, and if you've seen notices about having to be a stylist to get supplies (although I don't see one on that page), it's probably there for insurance purposes because they don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong. Again, they sell to anyone; I've ordered from them many times, and I'm not a stylist. All of the product links I've provided on the "Links 101" thread are available for home use (except perhaps ProStyles synthetic hair--the jury's still out on that one). Good luck!

Bridget: One of the main reasons I want to switch to synth is because I'm unhappy with the human hair I've been getting. I've tried tons of different brands, and I just don't think the quality is what it should be given what I'm paying (and I'm usually using 613, which, again, doesn't seem to be as high quality as the dark hair I've used).

As far as the animal hair, I'm sure some of these companies throw that into the mix sometimes (how would we know?). But I do think most of it's just Asian hair that's been processed, and processed, and processed within an inch of its life. There was a big discussion about using horsetail on Quinn's awhile back, and the consensus (although it's beautiful, superthick, long hair) is that it's way too coarse for human beings. (One girl had them in as extensions and had to take them out because they were scratching up her back like mad!)

Also, if you don't want to shell out a bunch for the entire kit over on hairpiece, they sell a little starter batch of rings here: http://hisandher.com/store/shop_product.asp?main=MAIN_001&sub=SUB_016&pro=9

They're just $7 for 100 of them and you can put your own hair back in. Easy easy easy! I'd email them first and ask them what size those rings are though. I just noticed that it doesn't say it on their site.

Be sure to pick up a hook, too:

Or, you can follow Kristin's tutorial on how to do it with wire and forego the hook.

Hi girls, I'm really not the dip $@%$ I appear to be. I was on my boyfriends computer when I looked up different sites the other night and I obviously didn't go to the right ones. I couldn't remember the names of the sites that Jenny had referred me to. I just pulled it up again, and will order the starter kit today. Thanks again.
