Let’s talk hair extensions

First off, congrats on the hair growth milestone, that's awesome! So, let's chat about hair extensions. I totally get the struggle with fine hair—I've been there! Personally, I've tried a few brands, and Bellami and Luxy Hair have been solid choices for me. Clip-ins can be a bit tricky, especially if you're not super girly (I feel you on that!). Tape-ins might be a better bet for a more seamless look, especially for fine hair like ours. Plus, they tend to last longer with proper care. Maintenance can be a bit of a hassle, but if it means rocking fabulous hair for your wedding, it's worth it, right? And hey, I came across some info about too much protein in hair that might help you out.

An interesting topic. I recently cut my hair, and I don't really like it; my cheeks look way too chubby with short hair. So, I thought of hair extensions.

I just got some put in, I went with micro-weft extensions because they aren't as damaging to the hair, relatively low maintenance, it's all real hair and if taken care of with regular tightening (6-8wks) than they can stay in for up to a year. If they shed a lot I will likely have to add a row before the wedding but they should last about 6-7months before needing to get more hair. I got 16' and it goes down to about my boobs

View quoted message Thank you so much I will definitely check out the biotin.I recently purchased a shampoo and conditioner called hair food and my hair has never been so thick or healthy.

I have a few tips if you're open to them, but they aren't for extensions. Just stronger healthier hair in general. Will help give your extensions something strong to hold onto


-Biotine: my grandma started taking these supplements 3 months ago and her hair is already so much healthier and stronger, so now I've been taking the 10 000 capsule to try to help my hair. (Bad relationship 3 years ago, so stressful I lost a lot of hair and it thinned out by about half). Its only been 1 month of taking it but I feel like my hair is getting stronger.
-keratin treatments: I bought a keratin shampoo and the pot of keratin treatment at winners/Marshall's (less than $30 all in) used it 3 times now and my hair is feeling sooo silky smooth and stronger too. I use it like a normal shampoo & conditioner but just once a week. And it's colour safe! I'm realllly cautious about the shampoos I use and it's been great so far!
-castor oil: I use it for my eyelashes, eyebrows and all over my scalp (especially the hairline where it's most visible). I put it on before bed and shower it all off the next day, lots of baby hairs coming in!
Hope this helps! 😁

You can do the Bombay keratin tip but 20 inches is really long maybe go with the 16 inches instead. The hairdresser charges more for longer so tell her you want shorter that way you save $.

View quoted message I’m wanting flowing curls so nothing too complicated lol my hair dresser is saying to get Bombay hair extensions in a 20inch length and that seems waaay too long for me lol 😂

Hi.

I have tried all the EXTENSIONS that exist.

*the glued in ones

*sowing them in

*tape extension

*microbeads

*keratin fusion

You have no choice to get real Remy human hair if you get synthetic it will melt with iron and will look fake and shiny like barbie's hair.

Do you have an idea what hairstyle you want on your big day?

The best top of the line brand is (Great Lengths) https://www.greatlengths.net/en/

They are little hair strands that the hairdresser melts the keratin bond on your REAL hair.

Looking at your hair you will only need to fill the bottom part to make your hair look fuller no need to go to long.

you can leave them in for 3 months and get them removed by your hairdresser, doesn't damage like the other types of extensions in my opinion.

hope that helps

View quoted message Thanks for the tip

I got mine from Sally Beauty Supply. They're clip-ins. I have fine hair too (although a lot of it). My tips are back comb, hairspray, clip. Start with the middle clip (if there is one) and get that first, then you can pull the other clips tight on either side.

LOL!! you have to get them on the bottom layer of your hair so they dont show. maybe your FH can help?

View quoted message I was going to do clip ins but I want beautiful hair for the honeymoon as well and I can’t ever get the clip ins hidden on my own lol

Do human hair clip ins! thats what my cousins all did they were great and stayed all night!

View quoted message Thank you Sarah! The lady who I see for my hair got them. I will send you a message with her contact information as she would be able to answer your question.

View quoted message Wow your hair looks amazing!!Where did you find the extensions?

Hair with tape in extensions

I also have thin hair. I didn't use extensions for length (my hair actually grew a ton) but instead for fullness. I used tape in extensions with real hair. They were great! The best part was they were very simple to remove.
