I was apprehensive about having extensions, I thought they might ruin my hair and look really fake! However, they turned out great. So don’t be scared, hair extensions aren’t as hard to care for or style as you might think! They are a committment, as you can’t take them out at the end of the day like clip ins and you need to brush your hair a lot more often to prevent tangles!
However, you don’t need any special shampoos/conditioners but you will need a good brush (I use the Balmain Brush for extensions, available from Sallys)
I got my extensions from http://www.americandreamextensions.com for a reasonable price of £1 per extension. I have tried to make sure that the extensions I buy are ethically sourced as I have heard horror stories that children in developing countries are exploited for their hair to be harvested and I do not advocate this.
The really expensive part of getting extensions is getting someone qualified and that you trust to put them in and take them out! I use my stylist who is qualified and she has not ruined my hair at all.
You should also do an allergy test for the glue used in case you have a reaction, which can be serious. A good stylist should suggest this, otherwise make sure you do it for your own peace of mind.
Any questions, leave me a comment on this video and I’ll try to answer them, be sure to look at all the comments in case I have answered it already, as I won’t be able to answer a repeated question!
thanks for watching!

Also, i bought my extensions in 1 long weft. it was around a meter and half long and it cost me around £15+ depending on the length of the hair ur going for! they are reusable around 10 or more times as they are sewn into the braid of your natural hair so no glue no loss of quality! its the healthiest way to have extensions fitted! because with Glue you have a risk of natural hair-loss and so forth is this is done regularily!

Cool extensions! …
Cool extensions! However I heard that bonding the hair with glue is VERY unhealthy (if u get extensions fitted regularly) I had some a year or so ago but mine were sewn in! MUCH healthier & helps ur hair grow! my stylist made 3 really small braids (cainrows) horizontally across the back of my head and sewed the extensions in! they lasted 3 months!! I went to an Afro-Caribbean Hair specialist to by my human hair extensions! they did a great job matching to my natural colour! no glue no hair loss!
