I wonder if any of you can help me.

I have been trying to grow my hair in preperation for the wedding for months but have not suceeded in getting the long lucious locks hoped for! my hair is just over the shoulder in length and is very fine. I want hair extensions not only to add a bit of length but also to add a bit of body. Ive been looking on the internet and have come accross so many differnet kinds of extensions. I was wondering if any of you have had extensions? and could you reccomend a sort and a good salon to go to. I live in north west wales. Thank you

i have had extenstions. i had weaved in ones. they do smaill plait(sp) and then weave the exenstion in. i had them for about 2 months but didnt really like them. took so long to wash, dry and straighten my hair. cost me £100! also i dont think they were done very well as you could see the weave which happens alot of if you have fine hair!

i personally wouldnt bother having them as it is more hassel than they are worth xx

I am about to try clip in ones too - have ordered some and am waiting for them to arrive in the post. Elen, most of the sites do seem to do clip in ones that are brown with blonde highlights, so you never know, you might actually get some to match without having to dye them..... The ones I have bought are a light brown/blonde mix.

Nicksy your hair looks gorgeous in the photos! Thabks Faeth il have a look - where did you get yours from? xx

I was given mine by my bridesmaid hun (but I bought my own ages ago on Bay of E but they don't match my hair anymore) and they were like a light brown colour I always dye my hair medium brown so I looked at videos on you tube of how to dye them and did them to match my colour (I had to do it 3 times mind before they were the right colour!) it was worth it in the end you need them to be lighter than your natural colour if your going to dye them though you can't dye darker ones lighter! if you have highlights might be worth asking a salon to dye them with high lights for you to match ? or like the other girls have said you could go to a shop for some to get a better match so you don't have to Faff with them :)

Posted a link on your wall Elen of where I've ordered mine from....

Thank you girls for all your help!! il let you know how i get on!! xx

I wouldnt die them elen, it will ruin them and they are too delicate. Try and get some to match your hair,if you cant find highlighted ones, use a mix of brown and blonde
Def have clip ins and not glued ones as they ruin your hair. x

best thing to do it go in to a sallys salon and get omeone to match them up!when buying them off the internet you cant see the true colour(its hard enough matching them when you have the colout in your hand)

alot of gllue in hair ext are crap and pull out your hair ( racoon ext are bad fot this) but ihave had the great lengths glue in ones in (they are the ones cheryl cole nd katie price wear-have a look online) and i love them they last 7months (thats not coz there is anyhting wrong with them its just by then the hair wil have grown down too far) then you can have them put bk in after that. you cant even feel them in, you get a special brush to comb any knots out etc and theyare attached to the finest of strands- i was expecting my hair to just snap but they havent, even with a good tug ....nothing!

great lengths- have a look!

im talking from professional point also as i am a hair dresser by trade!!

i too am thinking of using clip ins on the day as i was growing my hair but couldnt cope any longer so had about 6 inches chopped off!!!! going to set on a colour then go to a shop and match it up! think i might get one set now so i can have my trial and play about with them then get another set about a month before!
