hey okay fellow african babe girl again.thanks so much for the advice! but- don't groan-i have some more questions!

how long do extensions last? my mom doesn't want me to get extensions because according to her, they get worse-looking a lot faster than braids, what i usually wear. & basically, if i get them in september, i NEED them to last until thanksgiving break (november) or even winter break (december)

what do you need to do to care for extensions?

can you curl them/straighten them as you please?

~~
i really like these styles:

(gabrielle union) those curls are gorgeous!

Good that you asked that.

Extensions last about 2 months when you get them sewn in. But it depends on the stylist, so you would have to ask her but usually they do or longer.

The curl 'em/ straighten 'em question, is a good one too. You have to get human hair if you want to put any sort of heat on the hair. Synthetic hair with either melt or burn which we don't want. You can get curl human hair like Gabriel Union in the picture, it comes like that and then you can just straighten it when ever but you would probably have to wash to get it curly again which will probably make the extensions come out faster or just curl it with a curling iron.

So yojust take your picture to the stylist to ask her what kind of hair you would need to buy and the color, matching your color hair. Ad ask her how long she would say it stays in, but sometimes some hairstylist will tell you less time to get you to come back earlier and make more money just keep that in mind if you get that impression.

Hope I helped again!
