I just wanted to know if anyone has hair extensions and if so are they clip in or the actual glued/fussion kind? I have really short hair and want to grow it out, but I hate the grow out stage really bad. I am at the point where I am ready to just cut my hair short again so I don't have to bother with the grow out. My short hair cut is really cute...but I am just bored. Hope someone can give me some advice. Thanks :)

I don't know about hair extensions, but I do know about growing hair out! I wore short hair for years, now it's long.

You need to decide, when you're not messing with you hair and feeling frustrated with it, whether you want it short or long. Don't let your frustration make your decision for you or you'll later regret it.

There were in-between periods I hated, so I just wore my bangs cute and pinned the rest up in a clip. Now it's long and I need to address the layers that are still there and have some breakage problems. The shortest layers will end up being slightly above shoulder length and the longest will be 3 or 4 inches below my shoulders. Not bad.

Getting it trimmed regularly is important to growing it out. I have done that, but had some breakage issues when I went very blonde last summer.

I had the fussion (silicone I believe) extensions a couple of years ago. They looked fabulous but I hated that hubby could feel them if he touched my hair and if it

I had both the glue in kind and the braided sewn in kind. My friend wanted to experiment on a "white girl" LOL. Since she usually only did black women's hair. I found with the glued in ones you didn't feel them as much but the natural oil from your scalp breaks the glue down, so you have to have it redone more often.

I have also seen girls reglue them with hot glue guns. :blink: I wouldn't recomend that, since you are trying to grow your hair out. I am sure it would cause severe damage.

As for the braided sewn in kind, it wasn't that bad other than the intial braiding part. They have to braid it really tight so it lasts longer. Then they sew the hair tracks onto the braids. This is more the norm for long term hair extensions.

Or there is the option of a wig type thing that is sewn to your hair. I have no experience with that one however since my hair was pretty long already.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
