Hair Extensions

Bambii_

Hi (:

I'm considering getting hair extensions. I already have clip in ones, but I would love something more permanent. I was looking at Microbead, and was wondering if anyone has had them and could they answer some questions for me, it's really hard to find information on sites dedicated to the extensions because according to them they're perfect :rolleyes:

So, how long do they last? How much would they cost? And is there any damage left to your natural hair after having them taken out? Are they easy to manage/look after?

If anyone has had any other types of hair extensions and would like to recommend them please do ^.^

If you have hair extensions done and would like to recommend them please post a price with them so I know the range I'm looking at

Thank you (:

Hi i had glue in ones a few yrs ago stay away from there but recently i got married i was lookin around for micro beads like u i cud not find aby info n asked amillion people n every answer was diff so i just went and did it. They were ok for abit they hurt my head at first like to sleep and that. But after a while they bemcame messy lookin i looked after them really well n followed the steps but every day i had to back comb the top of ny head cos they showed its not what u think like the stars they look fab everyday so much care has to go into them n in the wind they show u can hardly tie ur hair up cos it pulls. When u wash it ut takes forever to dry and u cnt wash it prop cos the shampoo gets all stuck n ur afraid to get into the roots cos ur afraid it pulls n falls out i ve taken them out now after 2 months i was told they wud last 6 n thank god i did it now cos my hair is a state my air is fallib out my hair is knotted up at ths roots n im terrified of all my hair fallin out. Its horrible i wish sombody had told me all of tgis n i wud have stuck witg clip in ones . Ur hair will itch every day like u need a hair dresser at ur house evrryday for them to look good.
I dont wanna rain on ur parade but i would def not get them stick withthe clips. I wish skmbody wud have told me all this
Hope this

That's the reply I was terrified to hear!! I love my hair too much to put it through damage like that. I wish I'd never gotten it cut so short It's a bit past my shoulders now, but thats nothing compared to what it used to be, and my debs is next year Looks like I'll be sticking to clip-ins, unless they come out with a new long term non-hair-damaging extensions, or a way to regrow hair really fast.

Thanks for the advice

I wouldn't agree with what I can understand of the other poster's message. I have microbead extensions. I've had them in for a year and a half and they haven't damaged my hair, you can't see them and they don't mat together. They don't hurt either. I can wash and dry them no problem.

You need to take great care of them, brush them a lot and tie your hair up for bed. You also can't get cheap extensions.

I am very happy with them.

How long do they last? What length are they and how much did they cost, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks ^^

For me, 4 - 5 months. Not sure how long they are, around my bra maybe? They cost e500.

I've had microbeads done for the past 4 years and there has been no damage to my hair! They are so easy to manage!! I get mine done with a girl who has a mobile service, shes in carlow so not sure where she covers.... She is on FB https://www.facebook.com/HedKandyCW

I had the microbeads for nearly 2 years, at the time I loved them even though they were heavy and hard to hide in fine hair. They didn't do much damage to my hair to be honest but I got sick of how obvious the rings were when my hair was up! I'm now on my second set of great lengths extensions and although theyre double the price, they are incredible! I got 6 months out if my last set, they're so light you would barely feel them and even in a high pony the bonds are well hidden in my fine hair.. Hooked is not the word!

Whatever you do. Do Not get them done of Sinead Hedkandy in carlow. She will take your money the first time. But when you need the maintenance she will not return your call or texts. Basically she won't do your maintenance. Which is really important if you want to get the most out of them. After 5 weeks i had lost most of them. I should of done my homework. Although one girl I asked told me not to go to her.
