Hair exensions

[salsmum]

AIBU to think that after my daughter had 'real hair' hair extensions put in at a cos of £200 that they should have lasted more than 1 month?? they are falling out daily this was her usual hairdresser (fully qualified) and the clip in type of extensions and we have 'looked after them very well. This is the first time she's had them.

APOLOGIES that should read extensions keyboard sticking.

Surely if they're clip in there not permanant :/

Plus £200 for extensions is cheap really... Well not cheap but the lower end of price scale.

Surely if they're clip in there not permanant :/

She's not been wearing them constantly has she? Like, all day and night?

tfsotc yes she has...we were not advised any different they were clipped in with a small of 'plier like things'. jeeanieYuss it was only 1 side of her head and shoulder length .....don't ask....sal's odd Bohemian .

Never heard of permanent clip-ins, usually they are either glued or sewn in. Maybe it's the method? Agree with the posters who said £200 is cheap, around here you can pay up to £500!

Do they have little metal bits at the root? Like a piece of metal thats squeezed round the hair with pliers? Not clip in like a snap clip. Are you sure the qualified hairdresser hasn't just done an extension course? £200 is cheap if they are real hair. She would definately lose some, always happens, but if its noticeable she should go back and have more put in-no charge!

These sound like micro-ring extensions. They're cheaper than bonded extensions and some say less likely to damage your hair, but they are also more likely to fall out early.

I suspect that the rings have loosened over time, (perhaps due to over-zealous brushing?). If you return to your hairdresser and explain the problem she should tighten them for free.

Is she using a hairbrush or wide toothed comb?

Its excessive styling. Rings just are not up to that.

Excessive stylers need more permanent bonding or clip ins for ease and longevity.

I've been wearing extensions for 7 years, and you have to adapt your styling methods to the extension. Just a bouncy, natural blowdry is all I ever with rings. Heat styling is more suited to glues and clip ins.

How does one sell one's hair for extensions?

I would say micro-rings as well. £200 is not loads for real hair. The hair itself is damn expensive, let alone the hours spent putting them in.
