Recommendation

Hello all, I am getting 8 inch extensions on Tuesday of next week, not sure on how to have it styled or cut.  My hair is thick, longest length about 6 - 7 inches on top, 4 inches on sides a back.  My bangs are short (unfortunetly, not sure if anything can be done about that).

This is my first time with extensions, so I don't know to expect, or how much flexibility the stylist will have.  I need a style that is flexible, wear it down at times, but very conservative at work, like behing the ears, and hide the length.

Suggestions?

Thanks, I think I will keep it just below the chin, but layered for versitility.  So, I can be conservative when I need to. 

 

By the way, I saw your photos, and you look great! espically with short hair......

Well, I did it.  I was very long, 8 inch extentions were a big change, and with my hair short as it was, it really did not look very natural.

So, I trimmed it back myself, to just blow the ears. Looks much better and feels great. I can put it behind my ears, and it looks more fuller, and a little longer than it was.  This will be fine until my hair grows out more, then go longer.

 

 

 

well, not really happy!

What I learned:

To facilitate thicker hair, or to supplement what you have, extensions are great.

If you have long hair, or hair all one length, extension work great as well.

But if you hair is short, layered, you can only add length, and it just doesn't look full, and natural.

At lease it didn't for.  So, I will wait another six months, let it grow out more, and see where to go from here.

 

 

 

"sew-ins?" 

what exactly are they?

Do they cover the scalp, so it doesn't show?

 

thanks,,tom

Yes, they cover all the hair.  My hair is braided up in tiny braids and they sewed the extensions to it.

Thanks!

Um, there are just wispy hairs around my hairline.  It pretty much looks like anyone else's hair pulled back. 

She took some kind of hook at the end.  I wasn't facing a mirror so I don't know. HA

Sure! 

They're scary so be warned!! LOL

 

I colored it right before I had this done thinking a miraculous new color would help my self image.  LOL  buahahahahhaha What was I thinking??!!
