never get hair extensions.................................?

Question

i had mine out yesterday and lets just say i am now folicly challanged. very truamatic. i would NEVER suggest you get them done.

Answer 1

After I had twins my hair fell out loads, i was getting married a few months later so i got hair extensions, they looked lovely but when they came out i had less hair than id started, i wouldnt bother they ruin your hair and it takes ages to get right again, recently iv brought clip in hair and it is wonder full, i only wear it at weekends when i go clubbing but its gr8 easy to put in easy to take out easy to wash, anyone considering extensions go for clip ins

Answer 2

I disagree, I regularly wear extensions, and have never had a serious problem, just some discomfort from the removal of the glue. Just FYI it really depends on your stylist...and the method...... if she knows what she is doing, and does it right, you really should have no problem.

It also depends on how you care for them. Meaning how or if you pull your hair up, or how you brush.

I am REALLY sorry you had such a bad time with them..... i know the first time i had them, i had them glued in, and when i removed them....OMG it felt like someone was hanging from my hair........
something that helped me.... I took a really hot bath, and then layed my head back, so that all of my scalp was in the water but not my face, and let it soak in the hot water. I felt a lot better after.... I don't know why it helps but it seems to.

what type of extension did you have, if you don't mind? [e-mail]

Answer 3

Mine came out really well. No bald spots and my own hair was in great condition from being 'covered' by them!

I did take the extensions out myself though, rather than pay the hairdresser to do it.

Mine have been out about around a year now and I'd love to have new ones put back in. I just can't be bothered doing all the maintenance again.

Answer 4

Extensions affect different people in different ways. Remember, you should never treat your hair with too many things at one time. For example: Don't get extensions and a relaxer or color treatment at the same time. Let your hair breathe some and best of luck with it growing back. Oh and if possible, never use hair glue, it just created a big mess and leaves most people bald.

Answer 5

Just depends on who put them in, whether they were a professional and really knew what they were doing or not. This is not true for all people it's just an experience you had. You should get you some aphogee reconstructive treatment and apply every 6 weeks. Yo can find this at Sally's........... keep your ends trimmed and your hair should grow back. But remember extensions are not for everybody!!!

Answer 6

Amen. both me and my daughter spent loads of money. What a waste. We now just wear hair pieces, you can get some good ones quite cheap, then you can have more ways to wear your hair. Now and again we wear full wigs, but the clip on extensions are just as effective. They are fun and easy to look after. Give em a try.

Answer 7

I will suggest a "weave on" instead. You can choose to use natural hair and it looks exactly the same. You can have rows of weave, attached to your real with a thread (not as agressive as glue and Co). It will give u that natural look and more volume. Check out the afro hair salon for that.

Answer 8

I know, i felt like I joined in a hair pulling match! Kept waking up at night due to the discomfort of it all

Answer 9

Definitely go with the clip in's but good quality..it'll cost you around $260-300 but it's well worth it. You can dye them and put them in/take out whenever PLUS they look very natural, you can't even tell they're in!

Answer 10

Well you must have went to a bad place, I've had extensions since I was 14, I'm 24, and that's necer happened to me.
