Well....we all love to look at hair pics so here I am! My own hair is about 4 inches 15 months post chemo, the extensions are a whopping 20 inces.

These are 100% human hair extensions. I have never in all my life had hair this long. I thought why not? I love them. This color is my original hair color....I feel great. Hope you enjoy Smile

    LOVE the LONG hair!!!  I have some questions that I hope you don't mind are personal

    How long did it take for your hair to grow 4"?

    Approx what does it cost to get extensions?

    How do you wash your hair with extensions?

    I too have thought of getting extensions once I have some hair to tie into.  How long does your hair need to be before you get extensions?

    How often do you have to go to the salon to tighten up the extensions and do they use the same hair again?

    I should edit my post...

    I finished chemo 15 months ago.I first bought my extensions in October 2008, my hair was 1.5 inches. The hair and the piece(fits at the crown of the head) cost $2000.00.

    Now....every 6 months or so you loose hair when you brush just like your original hair so you have to replace it. My hair guru has 50% off sales on Boxing Days, Spring and end of summer.So I buy my hair then.What you see in my pics, at regular price would have cost $950.00...I payed $420. So once you have paid the $2000.00 price...it gets cheaper.

    I go every 10 weeks for tightening, some people go every 6 weeks. It depends how fast your hair grows. When I finished Herceptin my hair grew a lot faster FYI.

     This hair is real remember and it is Remy so it has never been died or processed.It is Russian hair which is the most expensive.They also have Malaysian and Indian hair.

    I wash my hair normal, I do you use a special shampoo it's Made from Soy milk (has no garbage in it) and smells like chocolate!!

    You look awesome!  Love the hair and the confidence that comes with it!  Rockstar!!!!!

    I just bought myself a Chi straightener for mothers day - My 2 inch long rocker hair is gonna love it!  Have another hair appt on 5/2 - so far all I have done is some reddish highlights on my darkbrown hair.  May add blond this time but still not cut - even though I have to say I do look better with short hair than I had anticipated.

    Thanks for sharing!

    everyminute,

     I have a Chi flat iron too. They work really well. I need to buy a big curling iron to give my hair some bounce now. You have to post pics of your highlights!
