Because my hair is shoulder length I am thinking of getting hair extensions but have you seen the prices!!!!!!!

I dont know if there is a cheaper alternative?

Im wondering if any of you lovely ladies are thinking of the hair extension route and if you can help me with this?

Thanks

I was thinking of doing that but it wont grow very much in the next few months! :)

Real so I can curl them and style them.. Ive seen ones you can clip in but my hair is so thick I think it will look silly!

Ive been looking at the ones on the bay of e katie, Im just not sure??? I might buy some anyway and see what its like! xxx

lol - at least you have some professional advice for yours so you get it done properly! xx

Ok, that would be fantastic if you could Katie. Thank you

funny u posted this as i received my hairpiece today! its a curly gorgeous ponytail that you clamp over your hair tied in a bun.. so gorgeous! i wear clip in extesions normally but for my big day i wanted it up and curly, i got it off the bay of e for a bargain £10!! its beautiful hair, noone will know :) also hun u can get full set of clip in extensions for £30 on bay of e xx

i wear clip in extensions quite a lot, and if you were to order the hair without the clips in (it comes on a weft about 6ft long), then buy the clips seperatley you can measure it out, sew the hair onto the clips ourself, and sew 2 rows of hair onto each clip, so you will get double the ammount of hair for the same ammount of clips if you get me, its easy enough to do and if you have thick hair it will blend in nicely without having loads of clips.
or, use a drawstring hair piece that you tighten over our own ponytail so your hairdresser can twist it up into a big updo which wil look like its all your own hair xx

I have posted the name of the seller I bought my hair from on your profile ;-)

I am thinking of getting them done if my hair isnt long enough, there is a market stall in town by me where you can buy them & glue them in yourself, am thinking of getting one of my bm's to do it for me

thank you kate for the link, much appreciated! xxxx

hey lorraine, they are so easy to put in, and if placed correctly u will not see the clips, they realy are great, can change your hair so much!x

hi i will be wearing a full head of extentions as i do all the time anyway. The best quality hair weft or extentions i think is the Remy hair just look to see if it is Remy hair you are buying. I am very lucky as one of my ushers is a fantastic hairdresser and i wear cinderella hair or racoon hair extensions but i dont pay salon prices. xx

i was looking at the remy hair cos on one of the vids i watched it said they were better quality. Will have a look at all of them n see...
Are they any good for fine hair? My hair is suffering from years of hot irons!! lol

I want some for my wedding have just bought some too haha! I love long hair n stupidly got mine cut off. xx

your page is restricted lorraine :(

I dont think i need the hair extensions now, Ive finally decided on my dress which I am very excited - my dress is halter neck so it looks a bit too much with my hair down so Im going to be wearing it up, I think I might get a drawstring pony tail or curls in a box so I can have a nice hair do! xxxx

hiya all
i am thinking about it also not for the length but to make my hair more thinker so it looks more full and have added volume lol i am looking forward to looking for some nice heat resistant ones so they dont burn when getting curled lol

reopening this thread haha cant find the other one i was looking for but im looking into these as i have clip in ones but they annoy me as my hair so stupidy fine that the clips slide out after a couple of hours and end up giving me a headache but i know my hair wont grow enough for me to have it without anything!! i have seen ads for raccoon ones but i have no idea what these are etc or which best for me as im more of a wash my hair and leave it kinda girl or wash it n dry n go lol so i dont know if they woulkd be good for me?? but i want long hair haha oh says i should stop having it cut then it would grow lol but i only ever have the ends trimmed and that only when it gets stupid and knotty al the time!! people say this helps your hair grow is that right or total rubbish???

i was going to so decided to get them about 5 months ago to try and get used to them. i had the weaved in ones and cost be £100. they were done pretty badly tho so didnt go back. i then decided to get them taken out and was walking past somewhere when out shopping and popped in. they took them out for me and we got talking. she agreed that they were done badly and i got ripped of basically. she would have done it for £45!! some girl was having them done at the same time and they looked amazing!!
if you have the weaved in ones they dont use any glue so are better for your harit but i would suggest getting them a while before wedding so you can get used to them. i found it took a lot longer to dry and straighten my hair which drove me mad!! xx

I so wish I could figure out what to do with my hair. It's preying on my mind, because until I decide that, I can't finalise whether to have a veil and what sort of headpiece to wear (whether to have a tiara, side tiara, headband, etc).

I think it's because normally all I do with my hair is either stick it in a ponytail for the gym, or have it all down and straightened when I go out, and I'm useless at putting it up myself.

It's pretty fine, so I might have to use clip in extensions myself to thicken it up if I'm having a fancy up-do....

I had extensions which were plated into my own hair once - and they were fab looking, but word of warning if you have weak hair, when I took them out, all my hair that had extensions plated into it broke off at the point of the plating, so basically I lost half my hair's thickness (which wasn't alot to start with) in one go until those bits grew back. It was dead scary to see half my hair break off when I washed it after taking the extensions out!!!

i think there is a video on youtube you can watch that tells you the size of the pieces and how to sew them! xxxx

I have very fine hair so I need extensions for long hair (unless the embarrassingly wide parting comes in fashion by August). I have some Babyliss clip-ins which can be styled, and they're brilliant.

Ive just had a full set put in. Ive been having them done for 9 years and i love them. I left them out for a year gto give my hair a break. If your wearing clip ins and wearing your hair curly and down, do a test run for a few hours. Im a hair dresser and ive seen this happen so many times with the cheaper clip ins, basically the curls drop out and your own hair remails curly and the extensions go back straight.

I have done a test run and it was ok..just sprayed hairspray on before tonging x
