Does Anyone Have Hair Extensions?

[LoveBeingATwin]

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. 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.
