I'd like to know too actually! As i only know where they do it with Glue. Are their any women on this forum that have hair extensions? It's growing increasingly popular.

There was a lady called Lilly, from "Lilly Services" who offered hair extansions on this very site. But I'm sorry I don't know where exactly her thread was.
But please think twice before getting any hair extensions.. They are trouble.. For example many women get the so-called traction alopecia because of them. I see of those cases regularly..
Even the world's biggest extenstions' addict, Victoria Bekham, is quitting her extensions because of this problem..

isn't it true that many pieces of real hair for extensions come from people and children desperate for money? This is something I heard recently. Posts: 233 | From: uk | Registered: Aug 2006

Yes that's true. Especially from Asian countries like India and China, Russia, and South America, where the beautiful hair is abundant!
This one confuses me! I don't know.. I mean it's a way to get money for those poor people, but what happens is that they get a couple of dollars for the locks they've been growing for years, and then the hair would be resold by the hair pimps for thousands of dollars to the rich and the bald.
But this ain't the world's "onlyest" problem.. Posts: 8756 | From: Tax-Free Zone | Registered: Jul 2005

He he, last weekend we were vsiting someone who's interested in doing business with my husband.. On the way to their house, hubby told me: "I know it is very difficult not to stare at it in total disbelief, but try to avoid staring at his hair piece!!"
I mean okay bald men don't turn heads, but there are many other solutions like shaving the head totally for example!!
There was once this comedian/reporter working for the BBC and throwing comments at stars on the red carpet on their way to attend some hayafa event in Berlin. Then Elton John came along.. So the guy started shouting: "Sir Elton, Sir Elton.. You know what they call you here in Germany? HERR PIECE"

Yep thanks! I am aware of ethical issues. Also, the clip-in extensions have many faults and are quite tricky to adjust properly to look natural. They aren't that versatile with styling either. I guess these sewed in hair extensions aren't that popular over there.

Yea i agree with MissSalsa..If we start looking at everything from etical view then we shouldnt even get dressed or buy any products coz we all know its all coming from china ,where poor people work their butt off all day for 20 cents a day..Oh or do u know about those carpets that r made by VERY poor women and they may spend 2months on a small rug?Is it fair?No,nothing is fair in this world and actually i dont find any crime in extensions for the sake of trying to look good if the mother nature didnt bless u with huge amount of hair.Isnt it like plastic suregery?

Oh and i forgot to mention,my extensions are from european hair coz asian and indian is worse quality and its texture is not going with the european kind of hair.coz our hair is softer and maybe thinner.

im american and i love hair extensions. i have been getting them for 3 years now and i can tell you that the sew ins are the worst. you risk fungus growing in the stitching because they dont dry as well after a shower. the best to get are the fusion kind. each hair weft has a hard tip which is melted onto your hair with a special clamp iron. that stays in for months at a time. the stitching also will pull your own hair out. if you want just a short term look, get the kind you can glue in with a bonding adhesive. it will last only a week though before it lifts. get fusion done. also, be careful what kind of hair you get. make it a point that you want hair which is human and has the cuticle facing the same way. most use cheap remi which is hairclippings taken off the floor and put in a row but the shaft is going all directions. the best to use is european remi which is taken off the head of the donor in one snip and packed that way...otherwise you will end up with a head full of nappy hair after 2 days.
