I had Balmain & they were CRAP! I had tons of problems, they were always falling out & had to be redone, and tangling, and just a lot of trouble. Somehow I managed to make it six months with them. Now I have the Great Lengths & they're the BEST! I haven't lost one in 6 weeks, and the bonds are much smaller and look more natural & I can really brush it HARD! (failure to brush it well is what's causing your tangles). I'd keep on your extensionist & make her earn her $$$ and keep fixing it - when you need a new set - go for Great Lengths

I live in Miami which is one of the biggest cities for hair extensions. I spoke at length with many stylists on Miami Beach about extensions when I was thinking of getting them. Extensions will always damage your hair. Now to minimize damage you should get them when your hair is very healthy and try to keep it that way while the extensions are in. Once you take them out, it's best to get a trim and wait a while before putting them on again. The "safest" would be a sew/weft which is when they sew the weave in on cornrows. I had that done and taken out after a month. It was nice and beautiful and I made sure and got a protein and deep condition treatment afterwards. The others have to deal with glue, heat, strand/strand and will put way more stress on your hair.
A perfect example is Holly from Girls Next Door. If you see her without extensions, her hair is thin and breaking.

It's possible that they could. Depending on the type of extension you're using (i.e. glue), it could possibly damage your hair. I always recommend clip-in extensions if you're doing them yourself/at home to those who ask me about them. They're pretty easy to do, and nowadays there are several ways to get ahold of them and they're more affordable than one might think. QVC broadcasts Jessica Simpson & Ken Paves line, and there's an online site for them as well. Also, most malls have a salon called Regis that now offers the clip-in's. If you get your extensions done by a professional, you'd be in better hands. I would recommend getting extensions done professionaly, but it can be costly. I hope that was some help to you, extensions can be such fun and look amazing if done right!

Actually, not so much on natural hair. It damages your scalp more due to some excess glue which comes in contact with your scalp. Well, not much cud be done now. Just gotta trim off the tip of your hair a lil and it'll grow back fine =)

Talk to the person who instaaled the hair extensions for best advice. Watch out though. If they sound evasive, find another hair dresser for advice then, if I were you, I wouldn't use that person that put in the hair extensions you now have.

I think that the worse thing for your hair is to have the extensions glued in... Also if you keep them in too log that can cause k knotting... next time try getting them sewed in. its much better trust me.

Anything added to your hair can cause itchiness, brittleness, etc. Why not leave all this stuff out of your hair and let it grow loong naturally? It will be a LOT healthier.

Yes it does damage your hair! I have never had them but my cousin did once and she had pieces of glue stuck in her hair and the $$ stuff they give you to remove them doesn't get anything out!! It can pull out hair that you have. Hers were painful to get out too. I would go have them taken out and get your hair trimmed and then not do it again.

well i glue in extention in my hair, and what i find is that yes it does damage your hair if you take it out by your self. instead of gluing in the extentions sew it in, its much better for your hair. your head is itchy because the extentions are dirty. wash it and then towel dry it, do not use a blow dry , because if u do your extentions will fall out
