Resolved Question

Need help on hair extensions..?

I'm looking to get hair extensions because my hair is being damaged from all the straightening i do to it, so by getting extensions i will hopefully have more to do with my hair that doesn't involve using heat although i want to be able to use heat on them for when im going out on a special occasion.
I want weave/sew in extensions but the thing is, i haven't got all the information i need.
I don't want to go to a salon to get them done because it will cost too much money, my sister is good with hair so hopefully she will be able to do it for me.
My questions are :
Where can i buy extensions that are used to weave/sew in NOT clip in and in the UK but are inexpensive?
Is it ok and easy enough if i have someone do it for me at home?
Can i wash my hair like normal with them?
How long do they last?
thanks.

First of all sew in and weave extensions are nasty. They begin to stink, mat, and they are VERY bad for your hair. They also do not look very natural. (whats the point of having a weave that doesn't look natural?) If you want extensions I would suggest that you get something called "fusion". Not the hot fusion but the lock fusion. I got this and it looked great. YOu can keep it in your hair for up to six months when you take the hair and bead out to reajjust them. You can wash your hair, style it, go swimming with it and wear it naturally. It's great and no one can tell that you have fusion. Go to the site

This guy is in the U.S. but you can always but the supplies yourself and ask someone to put them in for you. My mother put them in for me (having never done anything like it before) and it came out looking professional. Buy human hair the locks, the crimper and the slide and your set.

P.S. PLEASE DO NOT get regular hair extensions. They are tacky, cheap and after a while stops looking good.

• the best hair extensions to have are great length extensions. they are expensive but are the best to have. you can wah them, color them, etc. sew in extensions make your hair itch really bad. But the glue in ones will last but not that long.
