hey everyone!
Ive been reading on the forums for the past few days and decided that extensions are just what I need.  I am in a theatre company and I need to have long hair for several of our upcoming shows.  My hair is medium length now, very thin, and doesnt seem to ever grow.  I knew i could opt for wigs for the shows but considering that i wouldnt mind having long hair everyday Im considering extensions.  My only problem is that Im on a veryy tight budget.  What would be the best thing for me to do, both for my wallet and for my hair (i dont want my natural hair to be damaged)?  Thanx in advance and good job to everyone here you guys are awesome.

hmmm, i think everyone new to extensions should start off with clip in extensions....and you can start off with cheaper hair and sew on the clips yourself, then if you like that you can move up to something longer wearing....and my suggestion for that would be protac

I agree with nursie
Maybe you should try Elite thermofiber from http://www.shrinkies.net - www.shrinkies.net It's inexpensive!

If you can sew...you can make you're own clip-ins with that hair I mentioned. You'll need to buy clips
I know Kristen sells ready made human hair clip-ins on http://www.yourhairshop.com - www.yourhairshop.com
Otherwise, Protac is an easy DIY method, it is inexpensive...the cost lies in the quality of hair

Yep! I agree, Protac and Bohyme when you want to invest $$ or Protac and good thermoresistant synthetic hair if you don't want to pay too much, or maybe just clip ins, that you can sew yourself, with elite thermofiber, looks like nice hair for clip ins!
Good luck!
