hair extensions?
Well, I have wavy brown hair that's pretty thing. I straightened it yesterday for a party and now its kinda flat looking. I want thickness really badly. I want my hair to look full and long/medium styled. I really don't want short hair. I trim mine every 6 weeks, and it's just about hitting my shoulder, maybe an inch farther. I'm thinking about maybe getting some hair extensions that are the same color as my own. I want my hair to be thicker and longer. I use Nioxin for fine/thinning hair, but it's kind of helping, and I've been using it for 2 months. I'm trying to eat healthy and lose about 20 pounds, but I just really want thicker hair that looks good straightened. Is getting hair extensions healthy? Will it damage my hair? I heard it promotes hair growth, but I don't know if it was true. I don't really understand hair extensions..do they add in hair from your scalp? Or do they like add it to the bottoms of the hair you already have.? I'm just so confused...please explain it to me, and see if you think it would be a good idea so my hair appears thicker and fuller..

Heyya I wear clip in extensions, have done for like two years now :P, They're American Dream Clip In Extensions and its just a row of clips with lots of hair dangling from it that are pre-straightened so you dont have to straighten them [my diagrams probably f*kd up tho lol]
and i pin up half of my hair, clip the row in starting from above my right ear then jus clip it into place til it reaches the left ear[i have thin hair too so i only need one row, people with thicker hair layer the rows to make it look more natural] and then let the top half of my real hair jus cover up the clips and it looks perfectly natural =]]

It depends on the type of extensions you get. Go for the human hair, it's expensive but it looks more real. If you get it done at a salon, they may add individual strands. Like so:

I'm sure you can buy some extensions at a beauty store. You can either clip them in or glue them in. Using glue is damaging though especially when you want to remove the extensions. You're supposed to put extensions under a layer of hair. So if you have 2 layered hair.. You should put it on top and one underneath. It's hard to explain.
But don't put it under your hair like this:

It looks really bad.
You need to get enough to go around your whole head and another layer on top so it's not flat.
If you can't get those soon.. then try Mane N Tail Shampoo.. it's great for thickening hair.
It's a good way to get longer and fuller hair but don't go too drastic with length. If you take the vitamin called Biotin everyday for a couple of months.. you won't get split ends so you wouldn't have to get it trimmed. Since you don't get split ends, your hair is healthy and grows slightly faster.
When school started my hair was ahove chin and by the next year.. my hair was past my shoulders. So i think it works great.
