    Default Best clip in extensions?

    I've never bought or had any extensions before and I've been doing research but just wanted to get some opinions from dancers and cam girls since I'd be moving around a lot more than some girl on youtube who just puts them on and sits around. My hair is kinda short. It just touches my shoulders if i straighten it but it's naturally wavy. I just dyed it to a bright auburn which I love and i really want long beautiful red hair like the little mermaid for camming.
    So I've been researching Bellami, Luxy and Foxy locks? Anyone have experiences with them or can recommend another brand? I wouldn't wear them all the time, probably just for camming and date nights. also would I be able to hide the clips since my hair is kinda short and fine or should I try to grow my hair out more before I buy them? thanks!

    I have Bellami and like - if you have straight, euro hair they def blend very easily, but worth getting them trimmed and numbered so they really work well with your cut/style

    getting them cut & layered is essential, otherwise they will not blend or look natural. also be careful when buying from online retailers, most of them claim to be 100% human hair, but they are usually a mixture of human & synthetic hair. so always look for & read reviews.

    I bought some off of ebay a few times, and my Bellamis are WAY better. I wouldn't recommend clip ins for dancing but just for going out and camming they are great. Since you are wearing them to add length you'll need more than 180-200g+ of hair. Is your hair thin or thick? There are certain brands that blend better with certain types of hair. You will want to get blonde 60 or 613 and dye them to match your hair so they blend better and of course get them cut to blend also as already mentioned. As far as hiding the clips: it's all in how you clip them in. There's lots of good instructional videos on youtube.

    I've never bought Luxy or Foxy just because the shipping and import charges are super ridiculous to Canada.

    NP, my hair is thin and fine also I just have a lot of it. You'll want to start really low when putting them in like 1 thin layer then clip at the nape of your neck and work your way up. And don't clip any higher than your eyebrow level because you might not have enough hair up top to hide the clips.

    Don't forget to use some hairspray to make them sit tightly in and give a bit more grip xo

    I have had Bellami and hated them, but my hair is platinum blonde and those are usually difficult. Sally's are not that bad, believe it or not.

    My foxy locks just came in the mail and I haven't tried them yet. I ordered 24" 280g or something like that. I've ordered them twice in the past and once was bad, once was good quality. This time I chose them over other ones based on price so I will keep you posted how they are.

    I had luxy too, I think I didn't like the but it was ages ago.

    OMG I have found the holy grail of extensions.

    I've had Luxy's, Cashmere, Bellami, and they all pale next to these.

    They're from eBay, which I know sounds weird...but this seller makes THE BEST extensions. They are thick, but naturally tapered, so they blend with my hair right out of the box without needing to go to the salon to get blended first. They hold curl well, but they blend well straight. They hold up to daily wear and abuse.

    I ordered 18" for regular wear and 20's for when I want big waves. And they cost half what the big companies charge.

    18, 120 g, $45: http://www.ebay.com/usr/minihouse888...72.m2749.l2754

    20 inch, 200 g, $86: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-STOCK-De...B0Ny6Me_16oylw

    Why are they not good for dancing? I bought Bellami and I still haven't worn mine yet, until I get my hair trimmed with them.

    I like them so far. Looks like my hair. My hair is fine and straight.

    clicked on it and am tempted to order but they come from china. Well, many of the others probably do too but my hair is 613 blonde so not for me. but if I had Black or brunette hair I would probably give it a try.
