Hi everyone! This is my first post here..although I have been lurking for a couple of months. Maybe all you experts here could give me some feedback: In May, I cut my 16' hair into an A-line bob for the summer. Although I had my fun with it, I miss my long hair dreadfully. I have been researching both these extension systems, yet I don't really know anyone who has had them. Is the Cinderella hair at all comparable? There is a person hair locally(I live in a rural little town) who installs it. She charges $900, the place I consulted with (3hrs away) for Great Lengths was $1600. I know you get what you pay for , but I just want to get past this funky grow out stage for a few months and it kills me to pay over a grand for three months of wear. Another question is because my hair is just now 3 inches and has this bobbed cut a little choppy in back..will it look silly..will you see the demarcation line when it is installed? thanks so much for any feedback ------------- Time is fleeting-don't forget to pay attention. |

Bob haircuts are very hard to cover with extensions. You really have to pile on the extension hair to cover that blunt line to get a realistic blend. It doesn't help that your hair is short either. I have found that I can more successfully disguise a bob type haircut with a wefted method of extensions, as opposed to a strand method. Wefts create a 'curtain' of hair, thus giving better coverage to hair that's short and has blunt lines. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| Hi, This is my first time posting as well. I have been wearing my hair bonded or sewn in for three years now. My hair grew out tremendously and I decided I wanted to cut it again. I know sounds crazy. Well I just finished wearing a sew in my hair is getting longer and the braids are starting to get bulky. I have been toying with the idea of fushion. I also consulted someone today about the hairloc method. I think she said she uses metal or and its strand by strand. I saw a sign that advertised Cinderella extentions and I don't even know what that is yet. Finally, my question is what is the best method that won't damage my hair. Can someone suggest something! |

Thanks for the replies everyone! I actually made a consult with the Great Lengths extensionist on Monday..soo excited. Yes Metalgirl, i know what you mean about the bob being hard to blend in(btw,i love reading your posts!!). A friend tried some of those cheap Lord and Cliffe extensions when my hair was shorter. It looked like a had a Joe Dirt mullet!! Hopefully this person(who has been doing it for years will know how to blend) I will tell you all how it went on Monday.. Any key questions i should ask?
thanks, k ------------- Time is fleeting-don't forget to pay attention. |

Joe Dirt mullet! Yikes! To get the extensions to blend, you need to have a lot of hair added and put them as high up on the head as you can disguise. Good Luck! ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |
