Hair extensions

2 replies

Yikes101 · Today 21:27

I’m thinking about getting hair extensions, mainly to add volume to my fine hair but also a little extra length (my hair is around shoulder length now). I’ve spoken to my hairdresser about it, she is very good and honest about the pros and cons.
I’m looking for real life experience to add to that. Have you had extensions? What sort? Are they easy to care for? Do they feel comfortable? What’s brushing your hair like with them in? Can you put your hair up?

Happy to answer any questions.
I’ve had nano rings for around 2 years. They look pretty natural. You can wear your hair up though I don’t tend to but that’s just me!
Regarding upkeep, you need to use a good sulphate free shampoo & conditioner. Plus a decent heat protector/serum to stop them drying out.
I detangle them with a wide toothed comb when wet - if you tug on them too hard they will come out!
I have mine moved up every 10 weeks which costs around £100. The extensions themselves were about £250ish and last around 18 months if you look after them.

Thank you! Do you catch them when you brush your hair? Do they feel ready to be moved up?
