Hair extensions?
Hi everyone, I was wondering if I shaved my head, how long does my hair have to be before I can get hair extensions? I am suppose to shave my head for a job, but I don't want to have short hair forever! Thanks, Angela Nov 13 06 09:24 pm Link your hair needs to be usually at least 2 inches to apply extensions..maybe even 3. it wont look the most natural if you put extensions in that short. you might have to wear a wig....or have short hair for about 6 mos Nov 14 06 12:05 am Link Depends on how fast your hair grows. I would wait until it's about 5 inches before considering extensions. Wigs are easier to deal with. If you've never shaved your head or if you have never had it cut that close to your scalp get ready for it to come it like a big puff You'll look sort of like a dandelion for a bit.

So if you shave your head Bold you are looking at around 8 months of regrowth before you can do that.

Nov 14 06 09:50 pm Link It has to be at least 4 inches for a professional salon to do extensions. Nov 14 06 09:53 pm Link I don't know that much about hair extensions, but I was told by a salon that they would not offer me extensions because my hair was not the correct type. They were afraid that the extensions would snap my hair off, and end up looking horrible. Check with someone who does it first to see if it would work for you.

Try this site then look under their forums! http://www.hairextensions101.com/main/i … ?&vmcchk=1 Hope it helps! Nov 15 06 05:04 pm Link |
