I have always had fairly thin/fine hair. I recently had some health problems and lost a lot of hair though. I never knew it could be this thin...what I had before would seem so thick now...I would love to have that back. I am so embarrassed by how thin it is (it looks like a mullet because most of the hair that is left is in the back...there isn't much at all on the front and sides  ) that I will only go out with it in a ponytail and bun (a tiny, tiny bun). The only time I wear it down now is around the house. I am supposed to be the maid of honor in my sister's wedding this summer. I am so embarrassed at the thought of being in pictures with my hair like this though. I didn't want to get extensions because my own hair is finally starting to grow back and I didn't want to damage it, but I think it is the only way I will feel comfortable being in the wedding.
My hair is pretty straight and about to my bra strap in length.
So... What extensions will cause the *least* amount of damage to my natural hair? I would like to wear them while my own hair grows back in and then stop.
Which will look the most natural considering I don't have very much hair? Will it be hard to hide the attachments if I don't have much hair on the top and sides?
If possible, I would like to avoid chemicals for application and removal as I have some chemical sensitivities.
Thanks so much for all of your help!!!!!!!!!! Sorry this is so long! :)

Have you thought of clip ins for the wedding day - they are awesome and you can have it styled however - up or down..... ------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

| I did think of that and am tempted. However, I would like to have something a little more durable and long-lasting since at this point I am embarrassed to even wear my hair down outside of the house. If it is something I'm going to want to wear everyday, I was thinking it might be worth getting extensions put in. do clip-ons only work well for layered/styled hair? I like to wear my hair long and straight so am not sure how that would work. Is it hard to match color with a clip-in? I am open to hearing about it all! :) |

These days you can get a clip in for every type of hair- I alternate between clipin for a few months then fusion or glued weft extensions. I choose to do this because I have fine thin hair, and I do feel that wearing the regular extensions causes thinning when I wear them over a long period of time.
I wore fusion extensions for 2 years, reinstalling every 8 weeks or so, but I felt that my hair thinned quite a bit over that period of time, so I switched to clips for a year , and the thickness came back. Now I alternate.
This is just my experience , I sure others have differing opinion.
Check out lookoflove.com for human hair clip ins and falls . They are a little pricey , but they last a long time and are soo easy to wear.
I wore a clip in for my daughters wedding in a half up and half down style that my real hair could NEVER have pulled off. It looked great. ------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

I would highly recommend micro rings chick they are fab but in your case I'd have them removed every month to start with to check there is no more damage x ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

This is one of the ones I have that I wear daily....
they have a layered version and then a companion type peice that you an wear together or by them selves. It took me about a year of looking at the site to decypher all the choices, but it's worth it. ------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

| So if I was going to alternate, but wanted to have the actual extensions in for the time of the wedding, what would you recommend I start with? Brand/application method/etc. I live in a very small town so am probably going to have to travel no matter what I choose. For this reason, extensions are not very practical for the long-run, but I think it would be worth it for the wedding. So...if you could choose anything, what would you recommend I get? :) |

Thanks so much for the link...I was very overwhelmed when i went to the site! :) With a clip, is it hard to get an exact color/texture match to your own hair? Im just afraid that you would be able to tell the difference between the clip hair and my hair. My hair was always very healthy/shiny until I had the recent health problems and it is a lot duller/drier now. I am just worried about it blending well...plus, I would have noooo idea what color to order. I definitely do want to try it though. I think I will browse through that site and order a couple things just to give it a shot! :)
for the extensions, I am not 100% sure, but I think that I want to wear it mostly long...possibly pull the top part back and leave the rest down.

They are super helpful if you call them, and you can order a color ring to get a good match. My hair is very fine caucasion hair, brown color and I can get a perfect match.
I have never used microrings myself, but based on Amandas reccomendation I would like to try them.
I have used and been happy with keratin bonds or shrinkies.... ------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

This is another site thsat sells the look of love items, they have good before and after pictures...
I have never had trouble with the pieces staying in. The directions usually say to tease a small spot before attaching the clip in . I usually do this and they never move.. I am a high school teacher, and believe me I DON"T want a hair disaster in forn t of my class. But, in the years since I've been wearing them, it's never happened.
Sometimes I ( and this is true with the strand by strand extensions as well), I get nervous and think something is "showing" but it never really is when I check in the mirror. ------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

| Why not go with a lace front wig? To me, it's basically the same thing as extensions but rather than going through your hair, you can go around it, outside the hairline and glue it on. Then you won't have to worry about pulling on your own hair. I'm pleasantly shocked the more that I'm learning about them (I want to try them too!) and also who wears them (Beyonce, Tyra Banks, lots of celebs). |

If you're interested in doing clip ins, I'd reccemend making them yourself. You can get a set of wefted hair, dye it to match your own hair exactly, and size it more appropriately to your own head. There are quite a few tutorials on this site, as well as other forums like extensions101.com and many other stores that ladies on here and on that site run. welcome to the world of extensions, defiantely roam around as many links and sites as you can, it can be overwhelming at first, but it's always a good idea to see whats out there! :) goodluck |

Everyone that knows me knows that I naturally have thin hair...I am fine with that and want to keep it that way...I just want to have enough hair to not be embarrassed of it any more. How can I get the most natural looking, what most of you would consider pretty thin, hair? Don't know if that helps narrow it down at all..there is so much to learn!! :) |

I would recommend you to try the Protac method. It's one of the easiest method for firts time users like you, and the tape is unexpensive. Your install with Protac is supposed to last between 4 and 6 weeks, and then you can re-use the hair. You can see toturials with pictures on this forum and on Sherrie's forum (hairextensions101.com) to see how to put Protac in. (you can also use other kinds of tape)
I wore sew-in, fusion, microrings, Protac and now I use Liquid Gold.
As for the hair, if you want to waer it for several months, I recommend you Bohyme. Check out hairsisters.com or sherrie's site or ebonyline.com for good prices. (between approximately $80 and $150 for 4oz, depending on the color, and size)
If you want to try Bohyme, you should get the color ring to find a good match for your hair. Then you have to pick a texture, silky straight, wavy, french refined etc. This hair is gorgeous.
If you only want to wear the hair for like a month, maybe you should give a try to synthetic hair, I know there are a lot of good products in thermofiber now, Amm's synthetic thermofiber looks amazing, some girls love Paltikhaar too.

wow...I guess I never thought of doing it myself. that seems a little scary to me. :) maybe one of you could come to colorado and do it for me...hehe!? :) I will look at the links and see what I think though. I'll try and get some pictures of my natural hair today and see what you all think. I guess I'm worried about the attachments showing since I won't have much natural hair to cover up anything...most of the hair that I have left is in the back, not much on the front, top or sides. What method leaves the most invisible attachments that wouldn't show through on fine hair? HOw would you recommend finding a stylist? I don't feel comfortable doing it and my mom and sisters are too busy to learn...otherwise I would love to go that route. I will look into the hair types too. I do plan on wearing it for a while so I would like to get some high quality hair.
How do you get the tape out? I have a lot of chemical sensitivities so anything that can go in and out without the use of strong chemicals is a definite plus!
Thanks for ALL of your help!!! You guys have been soooooooooo helpful!

I don't want to overwhelm you even more but....Here's what I think...
I've been wearing extensions for a little short of 2 years now, was trying to grow my hair out, before, most hairdressers wouldn't touch my hair, because it was so damaged, now, everyone I go to tells me how thick and healthy my hair is! 
I've never did fusion before, but with everything else, I think if you do it right, take care of it, and remove it right, there shouldn't be any damage! And actually, now I am shocked at how much thicker and longer my hair is, so I would completely suggest extensions for you. If you are REALLY thin on the tops and sides, then lots of methods of extensions, may not work well for you. Microlinks will poke through, same with fusion bonds, and even clip ins or tapes, you need enough hair to cover the bonds. If that's the case, you could always get skin wefts, that make it look like hair is growing actually out of your head. I would say, if it is REALLY thin on top, to get a full head sew-in, with a closure. I have a client who has this, from what I can tell, it seems like she has next to no hair, just enough to braid, and I couldn't even tell from looking at her that she had a weave, it really looked amazing! So basically, if you aren't really thin on top, you could do pretty much anything, I love the tapes a lot, and microlinks. Just try to do one install before the wedding, and go out and take pictures, one time with micros someone took a pic of the top of my head (duuno why?!) and it looks like tiny bugs all over my head!  So I was just thankful that only people who knew about my extensions saw those!!!

I REALLY appreciate all of the help and responses! :) One thing I should have mentioned...I will still need to be able to wear my hair in a ponytail for working out and stuff. Also, I would like to be able to go swimming and not have to worry about it being obvious, falling out, etc.
Thanks again!!!!

okay...got some pics. pretty embarrassed to post them but hopefully it will help me decide which would work best for my situation. One more thing I thought about too...the wedding is outside in the mountains so I'm sure that there will be at least a bit of a breeze, if not completely windy...will certain extensions show through when the wind is blowing??? K..here's the pics..sorry so many, I didn't know which would be most helpful....my hair is sitll kinda wet in some of them. (ignore the jammies!  )
From the front, how it naturally lays (very flat on top, no hair in front):
 From top:
 From side:
 From back (wet and dry):
  From front with *ALL* of my hair pulled forward...no hair hanging down the back at all
 : It's amazing to me how much our health can affect our hair quality. I used to have really shiny, smooth, silky hair. As you can see, it is dry and frizzy now...I never use any chemicals on it..it just changed that much when I got sick. I think if it wasn't frizzy like that, it would be even more stringy, if that is possible though. I know that I could get rid of some of the "stringiness" by chopping it off but I have always had long hair and loved it. I do'nt want to cut it off and then spend years trying to grow it back. I would rather find a way to camoflauge the thinness a little while my natural hair grows back in a little. That being said, a trim is definitely in order now that I've seen these pictures. :)
Well...let me know what you think would work best...not show through, be able to wear in a ponytail, look natural, etc. THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I do think you could do the tape method, the top area you would probably need a skin weft so it looks like your own hair. Plus with the tape method you could use conditioner (loads) to get it out. I don't know enough about micros to say if they'd be great for your hair, I'm sure one of the girls will know. I believe you will be able to use extensions though, so that should be encouraging. ------------- Got Hair |

There are so many options- and everyone is different - if you do decide to try the clip ins, the human hair versions are far superior to the synthetic ones , as sold on home shopping ect. ( they are often too shiny) . I have made my own, but I prefer the premade, styled ones as they are able to produse results with netting and wefted hair that would be difficult to reproduce at home, plus they are precut and styled to exactly the right length. It can be difficult to cut or layer clip ins that you make your self . Not impossible , but it does take practice and the hair is expensive. A stylist may be able to help you out with the cutting and styling, but blunt cut wefts can look really bad, IMHO, so look for someone who razor cuts. If you have other questions about the look of love clip ins, feel free to pm me- I don't have any relation to the company , other than being a very satisfied customer, but I have several pieces and have ordered several for friends and clients, as well. ------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

Mommy2aprincess,
I think Naked Eye's idea of seamless hair is great!
It's easy to install yourself, and it really is one of the best method if you don't have much hair on top.
And it still feels light.
I don't like to advertise for this company, but I know that they sell seamless hair +kit and it is really easy to use, the hair was too coarse for me, but I know another girl who loves loves loves this hair, check it out:
http://www.glamourhair.com/extensions/Seamless.asp - http://www.glamourhair.com/extensions/Seamless.asp
Again, it is so easy to install and if you find a good color match, it's invisible at the crown

Could you post a pick of the top and sides dry and a closer one of the back dry? When your hair is dry it looks as if you could wear any type of extensions.
I saw this site http://www.laceflair.com - http://www.laceflair.com . I think you may be able to wear these. They say if you don't see your color, if you send in a sample they'll match it for you. It looks elegant enough to wear to the wedding, affordable and it appears pretty easy to put in. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

Thanks so much for the responses!
With the seamless hair can you wear your hair up at all?
I'm not familiar with pinchbraids...I'll have to do a search and read up on them. Thanks for the suggestion. I liek the idea that there are no chemicals involved...how large/visible are the attachments on those?
I'll try and get some more pics with my hair dry. The laceflair do look like they would work if i got one that matched perfectly. I was kind of hoping to wear my hair down (or at least partially down) for the wedding but if the extensions don't end up working out, then this is definitely an option. I'll try and get pics posted soon.
I'm also going to look for at the look of love clip ins..thanks for the brand suggestion as I am so clueless about all of this.
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!!

What's your real or nickname, I'm sorry but I refuse to call you mommy.
You may also want to consider microillusions. They can take 3-7 days to install. The price is between $1200-$4000. They're similiar to pinch braids but aren't braided more than a 1/4 down, the extension hair is then wrapped around your hair and then two pieces of the extension hair is then tied off. Gina posts a similar type that uses a micro hook and ties off into a little knot.
Only your hair and the extension hair is used, no string, monofibre, glue, links etc. Usually last 8 months to a year. Also called undetectable strands and undetectable hair.
They're so tiny you can barely see them, you have to be looking for them and you can't feel them at all. About five strands of hair attached to 5 strands of your own hair. That's why they're "invisible" to the eye and touch, takes so long and costs so much dang on money

Sorry to hear your health issues are affecting you - I can definately relate as I sit here during a week long stay at Mayo clinic... I know its hard to part with hair, even as it thins, but a little bit of a trim would both rid you of some damaged hair and a nice cut always makes extensions look better. :) The ladies have definately started you off on the right track, and its great your'e doing your own research too. You're situation is specific to you and your hair, so its important to do that IMO. The skin weft idea is a good one for sure. I'm not sure if pinch braids however will work, because if your hair is particuarlly thin, tey can easily show through where they are installed since they are like little nobs. http://hairextensions101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1952 here's a link to a friend from anothe forum's clients install. if you found the right person, they might be able to make smaller braids maybe. As far as your concerns about blending or a partial up do, curling the hair, and doing a little bit of a half up do can really get a great look with extensions. http://hairextensions101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1916 this is a pretty good example I found for you of how you could do it. you should be able to get a low ponytail easily with most installs, if you want to acheieve a little bit higher one, then move the bottom row's placement up a bit and that will help. I just did an install where i used microlinks on the bottom two rows so I could get a better pony and it worked much better than the wefted for me. With wind, it really depends on just how strong it is, a light breeze shouldn't be much of a problem if you have good placement. And with swimming, I honestly haven't done it yet with tapes, but from what I've heard, its definately a good idea to put it in a loose braid to prevent any tangling and make sure to comb out any tangles, from the bottom up, whenever you get a chance to do it. ok thats probably enough stuff for ya to read over now! good luck! :) |

Hey! My name is Jenni. :)
I have never heard of microillusions. The install time is a bit overwhelming, but it really sounds like it would work perfectly for this situation. I like the thought that they could possibly last longer since I am going to have to travel to have this done. If I could really get that long out of them, I may only have to have it done once anyway (famous last words, eh? hehe!) I also love the fact that they are chemical free because that makes it that much less likely that I would have a problem with them.
Where can I find out more about them? Are there a lot of salons that do them? Is the weight of the extra hair more likely to pull out my natural hair if it is attached to small pieces like that? I am very intrigued even though I can't imagine sitting there for days to have them put in! :)
I had no idea that stylists will travel to me if I am willing to pay! wow! Depending on the cost, that would be awesome! I just don't even know where to begin finding ppl that offer the service that I want, etc. I've tried googling for people in my area but am not having much luck.
Thanks so much for all of your help! :)

Bunnywabbit- I didn't see your post before I submitted that last one..sorry! I agree that a good trim would help. It's hard to give up the thought of having the long hair that i've had for as long as I can remember, but it's not the same now anyway that it is just strings at the bottom anyway. :) Thanks for letting me know that the pinchbraids may show through. That is my biggest concern in finding something since my hair is thin on the sides and top. I do'nt want it to be obvious and look silly....especially since I'll be in lots of pictures and am anticipating some wind at the wedding. I will definitely take a look at the links that you provided as soon as I finish writing this..thanks for taking the time to find those. :) I can see how a little bit of styling could help blend the extensions...I will have to get in the habit of that. I've always been pretty lazy about just letting it dry and leave it down. Lately, I've just been wearing it up since it is so thin so I haven't actually styled it in a while. Probably need some lessons on that when it comes time..hehe! :) I am worried about being able to put it in a ponytail. I will make sure to keep those pionts in mind whichever method I end up going with. I like to have my hair up when I workout, go to the park with my daughter when it is windy, etc...so this is important to me. I really appreciate everyone taking hte time to respond to all of my questions!!!

Just to add another option to the mix i haave similar hair to yours except probably thinner! I use a combination of a top piece, and extensions to add thicknesds and length on top, and length around the sides and back. I can wear my hair in a pony tail, in a hair up, and up at the sides (out at back) or all out. I even have it in two low plaits today (but the extensions are showing - I just done care as I wanted plaits today) If you check out my posts there are some pictures of my method and what my hair looks like |

Microillusions sound so interesting indeed, it's too expensive for me but I'll have a good job, maybe!
I agree w/ Bunnywabbit that pinchbraid may show through and i understand your concern about invisibility.
I think seamless would be a good option for you if you're not ready to pay too much, and yes, you can place them very cery high, but you have to find the good mtach with your own hair color!

Hi Jenni,
This salon's stylist will come to you. They do the microillusions, they call them undetectable strand by strand. They offer other solutions as well that are more affordable. There's a contact number posted to discuss costs and arrangements. It may be much cheaper if you come out here to Maryland though. Ask them if they have installed microillusions in Caucasian hair before and ask for pics. If they say the have and can't send you pics, I'll go over and look at their portfolio, but you really need to see them yourself. DO NOT COMMIT TO ANYTHING OVER THE PHONE YET. Talk to us first. That's a whole bunch of money. You may want to send them pics and a sample of your hair, they'll let you know. I haven't used their services but my girlfriend MAY get the microillusions. You may want to see hers before you commit, that's IF she get's them. She's on the fence about it but I'll ask her again today.
There are a few other salons w/traveling stylists I want to check out. I think the closest one to you is in Texas.

Jenni, I don't think this salon has traveling stylist,you can ask, but they say if you get a service worth $1500 or more, about the price of the microillusions, they'll give you a $200 travel allowance towards your airfare. They're here in Maryland also. Don't forget to ask them about pics of microillusions in caucasian hair. AND NO COMMITMENTS . You can tell them you need to talk to your husband first and that you'll call them back. Do a search for these salons here also.

I agree that the UPA Clip at http://www.laceflair.com - www.laceflair.com is perfect for you. You can contact her directly at mailto:Upaclip@laceflair.com - Upaclip@laceflair.com . She will match your hair perfectly. There are a lot of really nice barrettes that are interchangeable some that would really dress up a ponytail for a wedding. She has great customer service and will work with you personally. ------------- I love my UPA Clip |

I just got done reading all these posts and looking at your photos. I think you would be happy getting some skin wefts, especially for your crown area and around your hair line. Skin wefts = seamless. As long as you get a color close to your own, you shouldn't have any trouble blending. I think you could totally do this on your own too. You would attach the wefts with tapes or with an adhesive like Liquid Gold or Vapon No Tape. You could get away with a wave pattern too I think.
Weft installs are very easy for the DIYer. You can always have a freind or family member help you. I'm gonna go look for a picture of an install I did w/ skin wefts.... ------------- |

Jenni, what is your hair color? ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

Brown??? I know...that's probably not very helpful! :) I don't know the exact shade. I'd say taht the pictures are pretty accurate...I'll take some more of the top dry too as soon as I get a chance. I have trouble even knowing exactly what color my hair is now because it used to be light blonde and has darkened a lot since high school and even college. Sorry..I'm so help! :) |

K..I took some more dry pics. They're still not great cuz I had to take them of myself, but hopefully it will help a little. I posted them in a fotki album to make it easier b/c I didn't know which ones would be most helpful. The album is:

Yes, I would say a #5 or #6. Try google or yahoo for skin wefts. I still think you'd be haapy with them. Something else to consider would be tapes w/ hand tied wefts, like bohyme. They are very very thin so you can double or triple the wefts in one peice of tape and still end up with a very flat effect. Bohyme has very good quality hair, I know jetsetextension has a very small hand tied weft also... ------------- |
