Hair Extensions - Real versus Clip In??

My friend had extensions and they looked good when in. They were very expensive though & she lost alot of hair taking them out. A vicious circle really, because her hair was even thinner after taking the extensions out, so she had them put back in. In the end her real hair was thin and damaged. I dont know if this is the norm though, but maybe a clip would be better & not damage your hair.

I have got the 100% remy human hair clip in one for my wedding because as like you my hair is fine and i want it looking more full. i have tryed them in and they look fab and i love them and the best thing is after the wedding wash them and you can use them when ever you want you can do as you do to normal hair with them.

I bought clip ins (Babyliss), they are really good. I put them in the other day to try them out and they stayed put and I couldn't feel them at all. Mine are a bit long so will probably have to trim them. I'm having a side bun though so It will all be clipped up. I think real extensions for one day is a bit much

Im just worried with the clip ins and my hair being half up half down the clips might show?

As much as what i'd be getting them done for the wedding i would just love to have the real deal for even a couple of months but Im just worried about hair damage....if it would wreck my own hair I wouldnt go near them. And of course any hairdresser selling them isnt going to highlight their pitfalls so little point in asking them lol

I will google your clip in brands ladies...thanks!

I have used clip -in extensions and more permanent type ones and I would definitely recommend the clip in ones over anything else.

The 'glue-in' extensions will look great when in but they absolutely ruin your hair so unless you plan to wear them 'forever' I wouldn't bother.

The weave in hair extensions are more kind to your hair but VERY high maintenance. And I still found once I took them out that my hair felt thinner than ever. Also you would be very limited with doing any 'up-do' with these kind of extensions as the weave covers pretty much all of your scalp. Fine for hair down styles but most up styles wouldn't work.

Clip in extentions will look great as long as the quality is good. No point going for the budget option in this instance IMO. A good hairdresser will have no problem doing a hairstyle without showing any clips.

What kind of prices did everyone pay for the clip in ones?

I was really hoping my hair would grow before the wedding but it never seems to grow past a certain length!

I'd love to have clip in hair extensions but worried about costs

I paid £39 for mine but they was on sale at the time i think mine are lush hair but make sure you get remy hair they keep them the right way so they look shiny and dont esaly get tangled.

Definitely recommend getting clip ins! They've changed my life i love the ones by Minque hair extensions! www.minquehair.com

I’m tempted by clip in extensions. How would I match my hair colour as I’ll be doing my own hair, and ordering them online seems a minefield!
