Since a lot of people are after hair extensions, I thought I'd make this to help some people out with their questions.

Synthetic Hair - Don't get it, it's a waste of money, it might only cost around £10 but you can't do nothing with it, you can't straighten it, curl it or even wash it because it's plastic it would just crimple up and you would only be able to us it for a short period. This is a cheaper, man-made alternative to real hair. It cannot be subjected to heat as the hair will melt, but it can look sensational when used cleverly.

Real Human Hair - This is the best hair you could possible get, if you're in a shop they would recommend you the best but it might possibly be a few more pounds. (1)Bonded Hair Weave - This is the least durable kind of hair weave and only lasts 1 month until it would need to be replaced. This kind of hair weave gets glued to the scalp

(2)Braided Hair Weave - This is a 2 step procedure. The natural hair is braided along the center of the scalp (under the hair) and then the hair weave gets sown into the braids. This type of hair weave normally lasts around 2 months.

(3)Fusion Hair Weave - This is the most lasting kind of hair weave, since it needs be changed every 3 months. This procedure involves waxing the hair weave to the natural hair.

How to do they work? - My hair extensions are clipped in, you can buy the clips off Ebay for less than £5 for 10 clips, it really depends how many layers you want in your hair by the thickness of your own hair. For real thin hair it would about 2 layers [One at the top and one on the bottom of your head] for thick hair [Like mine] it would be about 4 layers. If you decide to use clips, you just sew them on the top of the hair extensions, this could take up to two hours, but if you do this right if could take much less. I would recommend the clips because you can take the hair out and put it back in whenever you want to and they don't get ruined and would last for up to 5 months.

Hair extensions are becoming an increasingly popular way of instantly getting that long beautiful hair some of us can only dream of! Growing your hair long takes 5-6 years at an average of 1 cm per month! Hair extensions can give you around 21 inches of thick hair in just a few hours!

I hope this has helped You :]
