My sister is a licensed cosmetologist and she is going to attempt to do
linkies on me. I am having trouble figuring out how much hair I need to purchase. I am getting the prebonded hair. My natural hair is very thick and it's length is about to my chin. Can anyone offer any suggestions to a newbie? Please?!? |

You will need a whole lot of hair! The thicker and shorter your natural hair is, the more extension hair you have to add to make it blend seamlessly. Another consideration is the length you want to extend your hair to. The longer you want it, the more pieces you'll need to add to make it look natural. As for how many pieces of hair you will need, it would really depend on the density of each hair strand. If it's 'average' density, than I just guestimate, no less than 250, and quite possibly as much as 300 strands. It's hard to tell without seeing your hair. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Everything metalgirlsaid. plus the thicker your natural hair the higher you need to go up on your head to get natural blending. but at least your natural hair should cover the attachments! |

Well I was just wanting my hair to go about 3-4 inches below my shoulders.
The hair I was looking at is here: http://drlocks.net/cart/prebonded-european-straight-standard -colors- p-277.html Is there a better place to get hair? |

I haven't tried docs hair. But from what I hear, its okay but not great. YOu can shop around online for prebonded hair and find some good deals. but in general prebonded hair isn't fabulous quality. I'm not sure why. Pretipping yourself isn't that hard. |

Where is the best place to buy hair? And, would pretipping be hard for a
newbie? |
