Has any one tried clip-in extensions?

niajersey girl · 10-04-2006, 05:46 PM

I used to have really long hair pass my shoulders 2 years ago. Then I was foolish and got some braids that pulled out a lot of it. After that I started wearing extensions. I'm not sure what the process is called but it uses small little links to keep the hair bonded and some thread. There is no braiding and it's undectable by anyone. Anyway so it's really expensive to maintain now. I only wanted to wear it until my hair got back to it's normal length but I have been noticing that my hair is growing pretty fast but only on the sections where I don't have the process like the front and the middle. I would like to stop wearing it but the back is still short, it looks strange. Has anyone used clip-in hair before? If so, which brand? and does it look natural? I would like to wear something that I could take off at night so my regular hair can rest and catch up to the rest. I don't want to cut the front to the back length because there is too much of a difference in length. The front is about 12 inches and the back is like 5 inches long. Please let me know thanks. I saw some at www.wigshop.com that are not very expensive.

i wouldnt bcoz i fear of it fallin off

niajersey girl · 10-04-2006, 10:25 PM

the ones i'm talking about use these tiny little metal clips to hold the hair in and they really can't fall off. I've heard that these are used by most celebs like Jessica simpson, christina aguilera, and on the top model show when they need to add quick pieces to people's hair.

Is there a website I can go to to look at the 3/4 weave? The ones i'm talking about look like this. The clips are a bit smaller.

i dont buy hair online....i bought mine in a store

pynkspyce · 10-06-2006, 10:13 AM

lizadora · 10-14-2006, 06:45 AM

looks nice... maybe i am biased because i dont buy hair from the hair store

sapphire · 10-15-2006, 02:22 AM

so where do you get your hair from

Nimotalai · 10-15-2006, 06:25 AM

I've used the clips and they are very good. No wefts/wedges from cornrowing first. The only problem I had is after wearing it for the whole day the clips kind of made my temples sore. Also the clips pull out your hair after a while.

I'm currently rocking the 3/4 cap wig/weave. It's a life saver. Same thing thought the comb pulls out your hair too, but not a lot.

sapphire · 10-17-2006, 04:19 AM

i just got the 3/4 cap weave today...at least the front of your hair won't fall off from all the pulling
