looking for advice about hair extensions....

[americantrish]

good or bad... just curious
thanks

[PenelopePitstops]

bad unless done properly!

[michaelad]

Been wondering about extensions too..
Btw, love your taste in music..and the pics..
Fab eyes and great hair colour!!!

[americantrish]

thanks michaelad!!!

(my hair's back to reddish brown now!)

[nomdeplume]

tacky

expensive

bad for your own hair

HIDEOUS when they start to get to the stage where they start coming loose

[nomdeplume]

(well, you did ask !)

[americantrish]

nomdeplume> ohh i'm just curious. i dont want them! if i want longer hair, i'll wait and grow it...(and live under a hat in the meantime ;)) i'm more or less wondering about other people's experiences with them!

[MrsBadger]

am with NdP, I'm afraid...

[michaelad]

Doesn't sound too good then.. but I'd so love to have really long hair and I struggle to get it grow without it looking ratty.

Pete Murphy...love those cheekbones..hasn't aged terribly well though..mind you, neither has Robert

[lulumama]

had them a couple of years ago....were fantasti c, very natural, and looked marvellous... didn;t last as long as i had hoped though, possibly because i was pregnant, and my hair was going barmy !!

did find my hair was finer after they had been removed...

[michaelad]

Hi Lulu!

[lulumama]

hi sweets alright?

[michaelad]

Yep, doing ok! Still get a bit confused about the whole Hillary thing..but will not hijack this thread! How's you?

[michaelad]

Any news on a potential meetup with the bar and tearoom folks?

[michaelad]

Anyway, how much did you pay for your extensions and how long did they last in the end?

[lancarra]

I do my own extensions using tape nobody has detected them, I used to have bonded extensions but they do thin the hair, so I don't use this method even though I have trained to do it. The tape puts no stress on the hair and is very comfortable to wear.

[americantrish]

michaelad > mmmmm peter murphy........;)
each time i've had the pleasure of seeing him in concert (once in philly and in london in 2005), i've been front row...center. puurrrrrrrrrr! robert looks ok for his age... last time i saw him on anything, he was a bit sweaty

[michaelad]

oh those were the days..proper goth i was..
Bauhaus, Pete Murphy, Sisters, Cure, Fields of the Nephilim (only saw them a couple of weeks ago..great fun!)

[americantrish]

ahh yes, i miss my goth days often... well, then again, i still listen to a lot of it anyway! i'll be listening to the Cure sometimes and think WOW this song is 20 years old! and it just hits home sometimes... and that i've been a fan of them for 16 years....

mmm...bauhaus!

[michaelad]

I still listen to a lot of it too. It will never really go away..and that's a good thing!
You should see my ds2 godfather..always dressed in black and hair down to his waist..divine! [grins]

[lulumama]

[americantrish]

where does your ds2 godfather live again? ;)
its good music...good music doesnt go away..or be forgotten

[michaelad]

Lol@godfather!
You realise you're only an hour away from me..we could meet up and talk gothy stuff and the olden golden days over a coffee

I've had them, 2 things you need to know
They hurt going in and being tightened every six weeks, i've had 5 kids and a boob job, the extentions were the worst.
2nd, they are much harder to look after than your own hair, they knot up and can be difficult to blow dry.
I've had mine 2 months and will keep them another 6 weeks at most by which time my hair should have grown a bit.
I'm glad i had them done but wouldn't have them done again unless I went for the £1,000 real russian hair.

[michaelad]

how much did it cost you?

[Hideehi]

About £250 in liverpool and then i paid £60 last week to have them tightened.
