thinking about extensions (and new to them)

Okay so very soon, I am getting my hair cut shorter (I have a post in 'short hair') I am also getting my hair colored. My hair is slightly damaged. I wanted to be able to dye extensions fun colors rather then damaging my hair even more [and using them more for accent then for thickness or length]. Obviously, I'd like to have human to be able to use flat/curling irons, and be able to dye them. I don't have the money to spend a ton on them though. I was condering getting some off ebay that are in my price range, and I didn't know if this was wise or if it didn't matter? I also read about some girls using african american extensions on caucasion hair and didn't know if the textures would clash. Basically I'm just very confused. I try and try to learn more about what it is I'm really looking for, and how much I'm going to have to spend.


eek
i hope i put this in the right topic
if i didnt sorry, i'm tired

That’s a cute look on you. The one you want is not very far off from what you have now in my opinion. So the back you want kind of spikey. That’s easy enough. MsHoney what do you think? It looks to me like she may not even need extensions but it would be fun. The front is longer so you could just leave that and bleach it so then you could use crazy colors and all that to get the hot pinks or whatever other colors. I understand though to lift all that black to be light enough to put the colors on might cause breakage. Maybe just a few little micro links or fusion bonds that are longer and almost feather like around the ears in a very pale blond that will take colors easily would do the trick. You can probably get away with synthetics that take color okay. Or just ad them in already the colors you want but I don’t know how often you want to keep changing them so just learn how to install them yourself so you can take them in and out with ease in the different colors.

  Krimsa, I agree. It's such a small section anything would work but I think the less complicated the better.I think you should just go to your local Beauty supply store and get a couple of cheap packs of synthetic hair so you can switch your colors up. You can also check here to see if you can find some small pieces of colored synth wefts http://talk.hairboutique.com//forum_posts.asp?TID=29643 Someone on ebay sells rainbow fusion she could buy that and a cheap fusion iron and switch up often too. I'll find the ebay store in a few.

Here's the ebay link. You can ask if they sell smaller amounts but it's pretty cheap. They sell the different tools on the same page. http://cgi.ebay.com/40-STRANDS-16-HUMAN-HAIR-EXTENSION-RAINBOW-HIGHLIGHT_W0QQitemZ140140694291QQihZ004QQcategoryZ106319QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

I don't know anyone who's used this company so I can't vouch for them but I love those colors and I love how the microrings match too.

ok.

Oh wow, thanks a ton.
I got my hair color/cut scheduled for the 8th. I'm so excited :)

Yeah, I've tried the spray colors, but they seem cheap and costumy looking imo

and yes, my name is rachel




actually, i'm definatly considering the extensions in the one link
but if i wanted to do a larger chunk (width wise) as if i wanted to do a coontail
what type of extension would i look for?

Hi Rach, did you get the cut and color today?

Krimsa- we forgot all about clip-ons. Rach with cip-ons you could change your color everyday, all day if you wanted to. You can buy them and just sew them onto the wefts you've bought.
