yeah i get all mine at sally's and if they dont have a color im looking for i just buy blonde and get some hair dye, and dye them the color i want. i get the real hair ....so i can straighten or curl them.....all i do is cut a section off [since they give you about 15 feet of hair] and to make my hair look more natural, i fold it 3 times [so theres 3 layers.] then the glue is about 2 bucks at sally's ...it specially made for extensions, so dont panic. then i figure out where i want to put them, part my hair, glue the extension, and put them onto the part. when youre at sallys check into theyre oil & shampoo to remove your extensions. i dont use the oil. i just put alot of conditioner in my hair and pull them out the oil and lipids in it will easily take them out. the shampoo is awesome, its by proclaim and it will take out the glue bits in your hair. i've had extensions in for about a year now, and i get so many compliments on my hair.
im pretty much on a hair dye rehab right now so extensions are an easy way to color your hair without the damage. and if your like me and change your mind about your hair color every other day, extensions will be perfect.

the problem for me is that they are so expensive to get done professionally and i have no clue how to put them in myself, how do you do it!?!!
if you do them yourself, which is pretty easy, its very cheap! 23" extensions are only 30 dollars at sallys, plus 2 dollars for the adhesive glue, and about 5 dollars for the shampoo.......and if your hair is frizzy from straightening , you should check out tresemme's heat protector....its in a spray bottle [black] and you just spray it on your hair and its like a coat of armor against heat......i had to use that when i fried my hair, and it actually works, very well.
