Try’em Out Tuesdays – Hair Extensions

Have you ever had hair cutters remorse?? Ask anyone in my family..i am the most fickle person when it comes to my hair. Usually I will grow it out and vow to never cut it short again and then get tired of it and cut it short and then have cutters remorse and want it long again. This last time upon the hubs request and my being tired of my hair i cut it short again. If you remember I blogged about it during decision time. It looks fine, it’s not like i dislike it but I miss my long hair BADLY! I am growing it out again but unlike when you cut it, it takes a lot longer to grow back out!

So what do i do in the mean time?? I have heard a lot about the new trend of clip-on extensions. Well that could be a solution :) I had never really looked at extensions before because I thought they were going to be too pricey.

Thank goodness for Google!

I googled “clip-on extensions” and found an amazing and decent priced website selling just that! They have a bunch of different types of brands, lengths, volumes, and types. One of the popular brands is the Jessica Simpson brand but I actually found better reviews on the POP brand. I decided to choose the synthetic because i read positive reviews and it is a lot cheaper. I didn’t want to invest a lot of money on something I wasn’t sure would work.

Why are clip-in extensions a good choice according to hairextensions.com:

Clip-In hair extensions are becoming the most popular choice of hair extension systems in America thanks to Hollywood starlets such as Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Megan Fox,

Eva Longoria and Beyonce (just to name a few). Clip-in hair extensions are the easiest and safest way to add length, volume, or color without causing damage to your own hair. They come in a multitude of colors and lengths and are offered in 100% human hair, heat resistant and non-heat resistant synthetic fibers. There

are many different clip-in extension systems available ranging from one piece to multi-piece systems.

Top 5 Reasons to Choose Clip-In Hair Extensions:

  • Affordable Price Range ($75-$400)
  • Low Maintenance
  • Damage-Free, Clip-in Attachment
  • Easy DIY "Do-It-Yourself" Application
  • Virtually Undetectable

Clip-in hair extensions provide the perfect alternative to permanent hair extensions. Temporary hair solutions like clip-in hair extensions are more affordable and easier to maintain compared to permanent extensions. The Hair Professionals at Extensions.com highly recommend experimenting with clip-in hair extensions before choosing more permanent solutions such as

bonding, weaving, protein tips or mini-locks. Clip-in hair extensions work with most hair types and unlike permanent hair extensions, do not result in hair breakage.

Clip-In extensions are the perfect "Do-It- Yourself" system. They take only minutes to put in and seconds to take out. With clip-in hair extensions, you can have salon quality hair without having to spend hours in a salon.

Clip-in extensions are virtually undetectable. They provide a natural look and feel for unlimited styling versatility.

I was looking for more length and I also wanted some curl so I chose this style:

I debated for days before i ordered them but then i figured that if i didn’t like it I was  only out about $40. I was so excited the day it came and i tried it right away :) They looked pretty good and they didn’t hurt my head. The next day I curled my hair so that it would blend it more and here is what it looked like:

  7. Oh my goodness, they look great! And only forty dollars? That's great! I might have to try some myself. I haven't had long hair since I was twelve, because I can't stand trying to grow it out - even though I'd like to try long hair again. I think I need to look at that website - thanks for the tip!

  8. Never used extensions, but they look great! I must say though that I LOVE your hair now, but I haven't seen the before. I always cut my hair short then grow it, get tired of it long and cut it again, and miss it when it's gone. Ah well, the grass is always greener I guess.

  9. Those look great, and they match your color really well! I've always wanted to try clip-in extensions but I was always a little unsure. I may have to go ahead and get some - for $40 it's worth the experiment!
