Hair Extensions

Hi Ladies,

I was wondering if any of you have experiences with hair extensions. Is it a NO or do some of them actually look natural? I have about chin length hair right now and I'm afraid its not going to be nearly as long as I need it to be to have the hair style I want for the big day. I only have 8 months to grow like 12 inches. I know that's not possible. I would appreciate referrals and feedbacks. I need to decide if I need to work that into my budget or get new ideas for my hair. Thanks.

Re: Hair Extensions

ALOT of brides on here have used clip on extensions for wedding day so its pretty normal to do this. I even did clip on extensions and i preferred this over getting them bonded or sewn in bc ive had those in the past and takes forever to wash and blow dry and didnt want to deal with that on my HM. Just about every bride on here who did extensions also did the clip ons, i think ive only seen 1 bride who did the bonded ones

HEre are pics from wedding day, it was 100% human hair though so looks natural

here is a close up of it

and here it is blowing in the wind lol

Re: Hair Extensions

I had extensions which I loved! Mine were glued in....loking back I should have gotten the clips, they were a pain and it would have been easier just to clip them out. I am actually having the hair made into clips bc I love being able to add the volume and length!

Re: Hair Extensions

Can you guys recommend some people and price ranges for the clip on human hair. I've tried the clip on synthetic at roosevelt field and wasn't convinced. Thank you so much!

Re: Hair Extensions

it's funny...I ended up buying a bunch of clip-ons and only used the cheapest synthetic ones. They were looooong. (This was at my second California reception, at my LI wedding I had tiny little human hair ones)
I think they were Jessica Simpson brand...around 30$)...Everybody loved it...there were a lot of people from Hubby's side who never met me, they all thought I had big long hair.

Re: Hair Extensions

I would say whichever hair person you use should provide the extensions and then you can send them back after the weeding. That is what I will be doing with my person.

And def make sure that when you do trials that they have extensions to use cause its not the same without them. TRUST ME...

Re: Hair Extensions

Roseanna Amador did my hair for the wedding and I bought 100% human hair clip ins from her..they are her own line of clip ins. She's a vendor on here so you can contact her for pricing or FM me. They can definitely look very natural.

I've also had the semi-permanent (great lengths) extensions that last between 3-6 mos and those were amazing but very pricey and high maintenance.

Re: Hair Extensions

Re: Hair Extensions

Can some vendors give me pricing on clip on extensions with real human hair. I need about 12' of length added.
