    Default I'm getting extensions!

    I'm getting them on Friday, I'm going with my hair dresser to buy the hair tomorrow (Thursday). I'm a redhead so we're going to get some sort of long blonde hair that would fit with it.. I'm so excited! Almost as excited as I was about getting my boobies. Of course I'm gonna be a pic whore once I get them put in

    I am going today to buy the hair.. in about an hour or so. The lady is sewing them in and that's all I really know about it. It's not great lengths or anything fancy like that though. I'll post some pics of the hair I buy and my hair now when I get home today and all that good stuff. I know a lot of ladies have been asking about hair extensions so maybe I'll make this into a hair extension diary

    Joplin, I'm getting it done tomorrow so I'll have it for Saturday, are you working?

    Okie dokie.. I just went and bought 14 inches of human hair. I've taken some pics, first of the hair (it's blonde with some strawberry blonde). Then I've got my natural hair color. I'm sorry for the shitty angles, for some reason I couldn't take a picture of my head, I literally tried 12 times and half of my bangs was the best I could come up with.

    Then I've got a pic of my real hair and the blonde extensions up next to it. The extensions look kinda platinum due to my flash. They're not really that blonde but I did want to do something different since I've always been kinda safe when it comes to hair color.

    I wanted to get a pic of my hair down, but I've been wearing it up all day so it looks like crap, but I threw in another pic from a few weeks ago of my hair down so you guys can see the length, but it's naturally straight.

    The hair cost me $40 at the local Korean hair place. The stylist is charging me $115 to sew it in, but I'm good friends with another of her clients and my friend goes there all the time to get her hair done so she's hooking me up. So, all in all it's going to cost me $155 + tip.

    On a side note and assuming she does a good job (which I'm sure she will because she is very experienced), how much of a tip should I leave? She is sewing it in which won't take too awfully long.

    I had this type of extension and didn't like it because they corn row part of your hair and sew the tracks on it. You can't get to your real hair or your scalp for weeks. The upside was it was cheap and I only had to style the top and sides of my hair. How often is she going to do adjustments?

    I'm not sure, I'll get all the details tomorrow when I get it done. Did it hurt when you got them put in? She said that a girl that got them done only washed the top part of her hair and it lasted for about 2 months.

    I've been wanting extensions for a while so I figured I'd go the cheap route first to see if it's something I'd be willing to pay like $1000 for. I know I could have gotten clip-ins but I'm hair illiterate so it would have never looked right.

    I've done the sew in ones and they itched soooooooooo bad. Its hard to wash in between the rows too. You are getting a good price on it though. Check to see what style of cornrows she does. You can do all kinds of patterns to sew in the hair.

    I had those kind before too, wefts sewn onto cornrow tracks. I hated them, never got over the itching and iirc had a constant headache and had them removed a week later. But you're right, they are cheap and it's not a big loss if you don't like them.

    when I did my research, microbraids fit in the best with what I wanted because they lasted longer, seemed like less of a chance of damaging my hair, and wouldn't be uncomfortable to sleep on.

    also-- less visible even when they were visible, ya know? when you see the actual sewn in weft, it looks kinda gnarly.

    I'd suggest checking out microbraids-- you should still be able to use the hair.

    Here it is! I freaking love my hair.. it's a lot more hair than I'm used to, and I've never had blonde before so it's a total shock and will take some getting used to, but I finally have fabulous stripper hair! I'm working tomorrow night.. I wonder if I'll make more money with long, pretty hair? It's already boosted my self esteem and I think that's part of the reason why I made more money after getting boobs.

    I attached a before pic I took right before I left for the salon too. Please excuse my dumbass facial expressions

    I like them! They turned out great. I was a little worried because tracks/wefts were a horrible experience for me. My cornrows were way too tight (part of the scalp was bleeding) and I hated not being able to get to my scalp. I'm having the same issues with my great lengths, though, about $3000 later.

    Those look great. How did they braid your hair? I would love to get something similar to that. The only time I got a weave she braided all of my hair and it looked awful.

    Also, how long did it take?

    It was straight when she put it in, but my hair is kinda thick and flips out at the bottom so when looking at it from the side you could see it. Kinda hard to explain. I asked the stylist if there was anything that would make my hair blend in better with the fake hair and she said curling it. She curled it and it made such a difference!

    Thanks for all the compliments!

    Thanks! She did a few tiny little braids at different sections on my head, I'll try to get my husband to take a picture when he gets home. It took about 3 hours, but that's with curling and she took a little break to make a phone call. I'm still in the honeymoon phase with it, but I'm really happy.. I'll keep you guys updated!
