    Default "more" permanent extension for hair that needs bleach root touch up every 3 weeks

    i have been looking into more permanent hair extensions than clip ins since clip ins can be such a paiin in the ass, and hard to rip out of my hair when i get home from work and my hair is all curly and snarly. i was looking into fusion hair extensions. however i bleach my hair platinum (natural color is a dark chocolate brown) and i have to do my roots every 3 weeks or else it looks nasty. would i be able to bleach my hair with the fusion extension in or would that really not be an option? should i just stick to clip ins or are there other options? thanks ladies

    Yes, you can bleach your hair with fusions. It doesn't affect the bond at all. You should stick to clip ins. Fusions are so damaging. You should see my poor hair right now!

    you can, but it's not exactly great for your hair cause some of the bleach might not come out and 'sit' in the bonds til they come off. And like strippername said, fusions are horrible for your hair. Every kind of extensions is damaging, your best options are sew ins or tape wefts.

    Yeah you can bleach your roots with them in but I'd stick with clip ins. I had fusion and although my hair looks the same as before I only kept them in for a month before they started getting uncomfortable and tangly where the new hair grew. I'd only consider them again if I freaked out and chopped my hair off and NEEDED extensions all the time to be happy with my hair. Next time I'll probablly consider another method not involving glue...

    You can dye your hair with fusion extensions... but I would get microbeads instead of glue-ins. They won't rip out your hair by the roots and eventually leave bald patches. Microbeads cost more but definitely worth the expense.

    do you think that bleach will get stuck in the microbeads? or could i take them out, bleach my hair, then put them back in? from watching some youtube videos i'm 90% sure i could install the microbeads myself/with the assistance of my fiance... i just don't want to damage my hair or get bleach stuck in the beads.

    also, if i had to take them out before bleaching, could i put the same ones back in? or would i have to buy new microlinks/hair?

    thank you so much for all of your help xoxo

    ^No, I don't think bleach will get stuck in the microbeads. In my experience it doesn't even affect the fusions that much but I usually wait at least 6 weeks to get my roots done. I wouldn't bleach it yourself though, I'd get it professionally done, 1st so you get even coverage and 2nd so the hair doesn't get doublebleached.

    I just took my fusions out (I've been getting fusions for about the last year, microbeads before that) and my hair has grown almost as long as the extensions! Its also much thicker than I expected. I think I fry my hair so much with color and heat it breaks off, and the fake hair actually made my own hair grow longer. BUT extensions (especially fusions) can also pull your hair out by the roots and I've even heard of them causing baldness. That's why I decided to take my extensions out- I don't want it to pull my hair follicles out and make it never grow back again.

    Anyway, back to your question about reusing hair. You won't want to move the extensions up every three weeks unless you get long wefts (like curtains) put in your hair. I've seen it done 2 ways. The first is with beads. The wefts are much easier to put in and take out, but they almost just sit on your head, attached to your hair in a few places. The second is new tape in wefts that look pretty easy to install. I don't know much about them.

    You CAN reuse hair if you use microbeads but you will need to re-roll the hair into peices and use brand new beads. Here is the wax stuff you would use. http://www.rapunzelofsweden.com/acce...ns-melting-pot
    Its a huge pain but I know people who do it. In fact, there's a lot of products on that website that people use for hair extensions. That might be a good place to start your research.

    after doing some research i think i am going to do hair wefts attached with microbeads. seems easier to install them, take them in/out, and then re-use them with new microbeads. thank you so much for your replies!!

    ^Yup, you just need to get them moved up every 3 weeks or so. Probably at the same time you get your roots done. Welcom babydoll.

    can anyone recommend a good #60 platinum blonde weft, at least 20" long 120 grams of hair and remy?? ugh i feel like this search has been impossible. was even thinking about just ordering some headkandy extensions and taking out the clips then using microlinks to attach them to my hair..

    Thanks!!
