Want to do own hair extensions, HELP..

First off, I have no  clue on how hair extensions are done, proffessionally or at home. I've heard of shrinkies mircro rings, etc... I was wondering how long does it usaully take to do your own at home and what kind of hair could I use that would be cheap, easy to take care of and easily removed.

I've done possibly everything that could be done to my hair. I was previously blonde but went black and now I want to make the black longer and add spits of blonde in it.... here is a picture of a girl that kind of rep. what I am looking at.
I need volume and some ump to my thin hair. I want something that's wild and sexy... I think this is... could I do this at home and order the prodcuts offline? I def. need some help!

I'm looking at thier site right now. Thank you so much. Now as for people speaking about damage, what kind of damage can you get from hair extensions? I'm going to do the shrinkies and I'll do hair that is cheap for a first timer. If I can get the hang of it, I'll go up a class. ;) I want these so bad. My hair never get's any longer than it is now, and I think i'd look good with very long thick hair and some blonde... so excited now!

Here is a pic of my hair. It's  past my shoudlers but not thick..

It`s so fun reading up on Hair Extensions:D its always new tings to learn:)

Aaawh, well if you dont remove them after 3 months wich is MAX time... your natural hair can be pulled from the root( cause the waigth of the extensions on the few remaining strands(natural shedding occurs) and the shedded hair also waigth down your natural hair. If theyre applied in to small sections or uneven you could pull hair from the root, or if you dont remove them carefully you could get brakeage... But if you take your precautions you will not get damage.

What you should do:

So if you remove them after 3 months carefully and take your time to let the remover sit and then carfully begin to remove them you will not get damage..:) Its also important to care for the hair when it`s in , that it does not tangle badly and such..:)

sorry im in a hurry so i hope some off our more experianced board mebers can give you a more in depth faq:)

Good Luck and good hair!!<3

Depends. For a full head install you usually want to use around 200
strands. Sometimes I use closer to 150, and others I use closer to 350. It
depends sometimes strands are thinner than others. Usually I end up
melting 2 strands together.

For your first install, since you don't know how many you need, I would
say always get more, just to be safe.

So if you want just a few strands of blonde, get maybe 150-200 strands
of black, but if you want half and half, it might be different.

Thank you Naked Eye, you made perfect sense. I will need lotsa black. I have synthetic blonde i might use that...
