| My hair is pretty long atm, about an inch below bra strap line without extensions but its in shyte condition (thanks to the bleaching and colouring). Because ive decided i want another 4 inches of length, do you think it would be best for me to sacrifice a couple of inches of the dry ends? i figure the extension hair would make up for the inches id be cutting off, but i am so loathe to trim my hair at all lol 2 inches always looks like more than 2 inches! i do want my hair to be in better condition though.... |

since you are adding extensions, you may as well trim the bad ends. And your hair will be healthier and stronger for it. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

| i think you'd do well to trim the dry frazzled ends, when my ends are fried if i dont trim them off they will end up breaking off anyway only to make more of a shyttey mess of the ends |

I agree, on top of that you'd probably see those dry jumpy ends stick out from under your extensions, yuk  . Off with them is a good idea.------------- I learn to love and try to understand everyone I meet. I see the rainbow hiding in their eyes.

| Yes-- if you leave them all dried and split...the splitting will just continue up the hair shaft and make your hair much worse in the long run. Off with their heads! |

I vote no. Blunt ends on your own hair can break up a smooth transition. It can look like a shelf if you don't have a bunch of layers to blend it in with. When going longer I suggest not trimming the ends off your own hair. ------------- http://hawaiianhairextensions.com - http://hawaiianhairextensions.com |

She would just need to make sure the ends are NOT blunt cut. Have your stylist point cut the ends and add a few long layers. That is what I do in between installs, as I wear my hair very long and my OWN hair is past shoulders as well.

layers are best for adding extensions. It gives a better blend. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |
