advice
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!

Hi I just read your answer to this person's hair extension problem and I am Asian by the way.
Well I just got like 18 inch 100% human hair extension and I got this bonding glue thing. What my problem is, how come it came off so easily? like I just put the hair and all that, and later that day I exercised so im wondering if it was sweat. So i took a shower then I realized the side was coming off so i kinda tugged on it and it just came off... How can i make it stay longer?
well with thicker hair, and 18 inches is very heavy on the glue. gravity is pulling it down so much with the weight that the glue cannot sustain it. so the only way it can stay long is probably getting it weaved in. i hope i helped
hey! um i saw your answer at http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=506744 about hair extensions and i was impressed because i haven't found a good website with hair extension advice for black people. im pretty much clueless when it comes to hair extensions, hah! so i was wondering if you could like give me some tips and about this whole "hair extension business" as a fellow african babe.
well first i'd like to thank you for pursuing your hair question/advice in me!
okay so first many black women get weaves as a way to fit in to a mainstream image of women (long and straight hair)
the two types of weaves i know are glue and sew in
sewing weave which is the best for your hair because it will actually make your hair grow and doesn't damage it at all. You braid your hair down then instead of gluing the tracks you sew it onto the braids. You can't feel anything although it sounds like it hurt (sewing it) you don't even know what's going on.
glue extension consist of putting glue in the weave track and onto your scalp. A lot of people don't like that method b/c it will most likely damage your hair if used too often.
you can get a full head weave or half head, if you get half it will cost less but you may have to get a realaxer also, which may cost more. and full head is probably equal to half head and a relaxer.
the final results will look spectacular. Make sure you get someone who knows how to do it otherwise it can look very bumpy. also they take a while so you may want to put one day away just for it. it last a while more than a couple of months. and one note on the glue weave it make have a nasty smell if you don't take care of it which is a minus, on that list.
me personally i haven't gotten a weave before, but have done it myself and have watched first hand of a full head weave get put in. once you find a style you like it is prefect. and it doesn't matter if you cut your natural hair alot cause you can always put a weave in which saves so much time and effort you may have each day on your hair.
i know this was alot to read but i hope it has cleared some questions up and helped you.
im looking into getting one :] for length im looking up styles so just give me a holla and ill give you some links if you decide to get it done and want something to show to the stylist :]
-a fellow african american babe
I saw an answer that you gave another girl about hair extensions. You said that your black(do you get offended when people say your black?lol i never know, and i dont want to offend anyone), and most black people get weaves. Why is that? Do black people have thinner hair or something?
thanks=]!
oh and by the way, i love your name=]. it just so happens to be mine too=]
:]
and some people do and some people don't get mad when you call them black. but most would prefer aferican american but i really don't care lol. well the reason why most black people get weaves is cause 1 most have really really coarse hair, and 2 it's very short. weaves give black people to fit into the mainstream image of women, long hair and straight, which a weave gives them with a relaxer too, unless it is a full head weave. if theres anymore you wanna know then just ask
:]
and i love your name too lol
okayy well thanks for the advice hun =) but im italiann so my hair is kinda thick so do you think i should qet them sewn in or qlued? & how lonq would the qlue ones last? thankssss muchh
ewing weave which is the best for your hair because it will actually make your hair grow and doesn't damage it at all. You braid your hair down then instead of gluing the tracks you sew it onto the braids. You can't feel anything although it sounds like it hurt (sewing it) you don't even know what's going on until the final results which will look spectacular. Make sure you get someone who knows how to do it otherwise it can look very bumpy.
has anybody ever gotten track n sew extensions before? & how was it..did you need alot of maintence or no?
thankssss =)
Well I'm black, and alot of us get a weave better known as hair extensions. getting them sewn in is a better route than glue for us, but for races with thiner hair glue works almost better and it isn't hard to maintain unless it is very very long, also in sewing and sewing them can get loser if not tight, where as glue comes out when you want it too. if you have anymore questions please message me
:]
can someone show me different cool hairstyles for braids i can get? im black, and i get extensions put in my regular hair. umm i want the hair to be long, not too long, and not too short, but i guess more on the long side. my hair is like dark brown and i'd like the style to kinda match with it.. meaning that it wont be blonde. basically show me different styles i can choose because im gonna get the mesh soon and i'll tell my mom what type of hair i want too (or show her the picture). im not really into cornrolls, its more like.. just braids, but if you find some that look really good, then im for it. and it has to be a type of hair that has extensions braided with the normal hair, or i cant have it done. please put multiple examples and dont tell me to like "google" it.
thanks!

can i dye my blond hair with green koolaid and if so how do i do it?
I think what you have will work but permanetly. But if you want tempoary you best bet would be the Loreal Color Pulse. You can buy it at Wal-Mart or something in the hair dye section. After about 3 weeks it comes out. http://www.lorealparisusa.com/haircolor/colorpulse/index.asp well if so that's works very good!

I have red hair...but I want to dye it brown. I dont know HOW it will look though but Ive been told Id look good with darker hair because Im not a normal redhead (aka im not pale..i have the skin pigment to be able to tan.) But, I dont want to go to a hairdresser and have them dye it because if I dont like it, Ill be STUCK WITH It. I heard something about rinses.. What are they and how do they work..? How long do they last and where can I get them?
Yes, that's what i did before i dyed my hair. The best brand to use from first hand experience is Loreal Color Pulse learn more at the site http://www.lorealparis.ca/en/haircolor/index_color_pulse.asp
Hey again, i'm looking for some advice about how to do my hair. I'm a guy but I'm going to a dance next month as a gurl (cuz I hate bein a guy). My hair is straight, brown, and not very long. Basically it looks like a guy and I hate it. Thanks for your advice. 16/m
you can put a cupple of clips, or my favorite short due is fliping it out or under that would probally lot very nice on you and many people might be supprised to see your hair so pretty!
