Hair Extensions vs Thermal Reconditioning
Ok, I'm a fourteen year old girl and I am starting to think of what I should ask for for Christmas ha ha :) I know I want it to have something to do with my hair, but I'm not sure whether I want extensions or the thermal reconditioning treatment (AKA Japanese straightening). My hair comes down to about my breasts so it's not extremely long. I want it to be longer, which made me think of extensions buuutt here are my questions about that:
- I don't know whether to get my natural hair color (which would be hard because it's a mixture of brown, bleach blonde, and light blonde) or to get a different color and then dye my hair that color... which one sounds like a better idea?
- I don't know how long to get them. All my friends say my hair is long enough, but I want really long hair like Miley Cyrus's where it reaches to her hips. How long should they be if they are clip-in?
- I want them to be clip in, but i'm not sure if I want the full head (one big piece) or the head sets (lots of little pieces). Which work out better?
The other thing I was thinking about was the Thermal Hair Treatment, even though it's REALLY expensive. Here are my questions for that:
- I'm not sure where I could find a salon that would be able to do a good job on it. I live in Northwest Arkansas, if that helps, and I have no clue of a place withing driving distance I could go to. Help?
- My hair is really choppy with straight across choppy bangs. It's really choppy with short emo-ish layers and really wispy at the end (I cut and razor my hair). I have also had a blonde coontail dyed in along with some blonde highlights to add to my already multicolored hair. It's overall VERY textured. Will the treatment un-texture it? Will it remove the dye and make my hair all the same color?
- I know it will cost a lot, time and money- wise. About six hours, from what i've heard? I get bored and tired VERY easily and i'm not sure if i'll be able to sit still so long! Ha ha how would I be able to pass the time?
- Does any part of the treatment hurt?
- After the treatment is over, is it possible for your hair to frizz or even have static?
- Do you have to use any kind of shampoo/conditioner to keep it shiny, smooth and straight? If so, how much do they cost and what's the best brand? If you don't use them, will your hair go back to being textured and frizzy quickly?
- What will happen to my cowlicks?
- What will happen to my straight-across bangs?
Thank you all SO much!!! I know there are a lot of questions, so thanks for taking the time to read and answer them!

hey im 14 too haha and i JUST got extensions last week. well the first day i got them, HATED THEM SO MUCH. but then the next day when i woke up i was like omg they look so much better. so what i got done was a bonding treatment. its when they take a little piece of your natural hair and bond it together with special hair glue ( sounds really weird but its so much better then gettg sewn in ) and the first two night i had them it hurt to lay down but now im completely fine. you cannot see them like i've tried to show my friends the bond and they can't see it because its clear. it makes your hair so much thicker and longer and smoother. you have to use a special shampoo but it comes with the extensions. it costs 800$ were i got it done, but i got a discount becuase they thought i was pretty and they made me their advertisement. the whole thing takes about 5 hours? and if you want them done you have to go in for a consolation. they measure your head dye your hair if you want, but you cannot get the extensions done that day because they ahve to be ordered to match your hair. and yes they fall out in 6 monthes. and if you want before and after pictures you can just email me .. kendallxomarie@aim.com
bye =)
oh btw .. your length to the hips, wont work. they dont come that long, mine came a little above my belly button, but dont get it that long cuase then you can so tell. when you get them done they'll cut them to make it look like you just have layers. my hair was above my boob too and now its below my boob, and it might be a different length for you since i have big boobs haha.
