I want to get hair extensions?

but I don't know what to do exactly......I have a little above shoulder length hair and I'm tired of it. I plan on getting my hair colored with extensions too. I think I should do the clip in ones right? and how much will it cost if I want human hair extensions probably a bit longer than my chest....?

No, keep your hair like that, just put brown or blonde highlights in your hair,.........ITS GREAT!

Clip in extensions are great as you can put them in and out of the hair as and when you need them. They don't cause the damage of bonded/glued in extensions, and are a fraction of the cost.

Hair extensions work best on hair that is layered, for giving you the most natural blend with your own hair

Clip in extensions start at 鎷?0.00 and go up to 鎷?9.95

The higher the cost, the better the quality and the thickness of the hair.

You would need around 18" in length to take it a bit longer than the chest

you can get clip in ones but possibly a better option is gluing them in. you can buy clip in extensions and glue from sally's, if you've got one near you. if you wanted to glue them in, you can do this by cutting the clips off and gluing the hair in, section by section.

some markets sell human hair by the roll and it's usually much better quality and far cheaper than sally's. a roll from a market in nottingham costs about 鎷?0, and is enough for extensions for at least two people.

ask around, finding the markets is difficult sometimes but worthwhile. for clip in or glue in extensions, i'd recommend getting at least four layers. some people go with two or three but i personally find it to be less realistic and authentic, especially if you have fairly thick hair.

four layers will probably set you back about 鎷?0 if you buy 100% human. from a market, probably about 鎷?0-鎷?0.

i'd personally go with gluing in. if you do decide to go with clip ins, i'd recommend cutting them into different sections and then clipping them in. that way, your hair has a more natural movement and you can wear it up without the whole wig effect.

if you want to save money, and also wear clip ins, you can buy by the roll and then sew the clips onto the hair. it's much easier than it sounds, and you'd be saving a lot of money.

you can't sleep in clip ins, but they're easier to style than glue ins because you can do it before putting them in to wear. you'll probably want to thin out the extensions at the bottom, or cut them to length, so ask someone who's good at cutting hair, or if you trust your own skills, do it yourself.

whoever said you'd need 15 or 18" ( i can't remember which was said) may be wrong, you'd probably only need about 12". bear in mind some of the hair will be attatched to the bottom of your head, so the length should be estimated from there.

practice makes perfect, if your hair initally looks bad, keep trying. i've said all of the prices in 鎷?so for $ just half whatever i've said and it'll probably be around that area.

so about $40 ish dollars for a full head of clip in extensions i'm guessing.

this is a good tutorial: http://community.livejournal.com/madradh...

good luck!

also: "They don't cause the damage of bonded/glued in extensions, and are a fraction of the cost." wrong - DIY glue in extensions are cheaper than clip ins, and if you do them right, there's hardly any damage.
