Hey Everyone!

Well I just ordered the Rounded- handle wand from yourhairshop.com.

Can anyone tell me if it works well? Is it better then the Straight- Handle Wand?

Also I have never tried delux hair from Kristin, how’s the quality?

 

Thanks, I would appreciate the feed back!

Hi Nicknack!
I would say that good hair + starter kit would be around $200- $300 min.
You can get keratin glue and hot pot/glue gun that are not very expensive on some websites.
Read as much as you can and decide which technique would work best for you. Lots of people like the microrings. Try to watch demo video also! Check out the listing of videos available on this forum ("extensions101 for beginner" by sherrie)
The hair has to be a little expensive if you want something nice.
Jet Set is cheap and ok quality.
Glamourhair is better and more expensive(about $150 for 18' hair)
I think Bohyme Remy is really good but I have't tried it yet!!
Good luck !!

Hi NickNack
We are mostly a diy forum. Most of us use the glue-in weft method because it's less $$ than going to the salon and getting fusion or any other individual method. Some people get sew in tracks which cost less than fusion too. If you go to a salon for an individual method it can be expensive but people do it and I would too if I had the $$ for it. Currently I'm putting two rows of clip ins in every day. I'm fine with it for the summer. I may soon go back to glue in wefts with the protac tape.

Hope this helps, also I suggest reading as much of this forum as you can to educate yourself.

Hi Citgirl, You'll be fine with either iron. I heard d-lux is good hair but the pre-tips shed a lot.

So what should I do about the shedding?
Is there anything I could do?
So why dont you guys put the pre-tips on your self instead of going to the Salon and waisting so much money?

I don't know what you should do about the shedding. Why don't you ask the place where you bought it from?

i am sorry, however my clients personally dont feel they waste their money going to my salon to get their hair done,
while there are alot of Diyers on this forum, there are also professionals here as well.
i would encourage you to read the extensions 101 links to answer all your beginning questions.

There is no need to take my question personnel.
I Personally like to do it my self, instead of paying so much money.

my best friend does next to NOTHING herself......when i need to hire someone for some handiwork beyond my expertise, she is the person to call with all the numbers
 
however, I am the person to call for how to figure out how to do it yourself....from caulking the tub to replacing the toilet to sticking in my hair......
 
for my friend, going to the salon is NOT a waste of money....its her choice and she is very satisfied
for me, i choose to fix (and f-up) my own hair
 
DLux hair, has gotten good reviews on the hair itself....but shedding is a reported problem ive read on the pretips as well as the wefts

i have the fusion iron from your hair shop and it works great. I think it would be more comfortable that the straight wand. I used to have fusion but it damages my hair too much so I now do sew-ins. I use my iron now for pretipped highlights. I have used some of the dlux for highlights and they were ok quality but I did not have a full head so I cant give a good opinion on them

Yep, the rounded wand from yourhairshop.com works really well!
I learn to love and try to understand everyone I meet. I see the rainbow hiding in their eyes.
