I got hair today!

  • Popular Post

Hi everyone! I made a post a few weeks ago about the hair loss I was/am experiencing and I mentioned getting hair extensions instead of cutting my hair off. I had people inbox and ask On the thread to see them. I ordered mine from a seller (from Australia) on eBay. They are 250 grams of human hair and I paid 130-ish for them. I also went to the salon today and has them layered and styled so they aren't just flat out of the package. I think I have answered some of the questions! I probably won't wear them everyday and I'm not suggesting people use extentions I just chose to because my hair is thinning..and I love them :) hope everyone is doing well! post-237766-0-29194800-1425778955_thumb.jpg oh and the pic with the short hair is a lovely picture my 5 yr old took when I first woke up...don't judge! I only used it to show my actual length. Ha! :) Oh Annnnnd one more thing before I forget..I get asked how I pronounce my Name. It's pronounced like L.O.D or Melody without the M! Ok I think I covered everything now :)

@@frankie152 - Today marks 4 months post-op for me. The biggest hair loss started about 14 weeks post-op. The excessive shedding started sooner. I don't know for a fact that the supplements will make a huge difference in slowing the hair loss, or encouraging the new growth, but my surgeon and his staff, my PCP, along with a lot of BP members, all have said the same thing so I'm hoping it helps and I'm not just making expensive urine :lol:

WOW! You look amazing!!!

Love, Love, Love them! :)

They look really nice! My sister went through this as she lost about 75% of her hair due to stress.. She used these and they were really nice, until she lost too much that you could see them. She ended up shaving her head and wearing wig until it started growing back!

If you don't want clip ins, there is also Halo Couture. There are no clips involved whatsoever. I've had mine for 2 years. But, after 2 surgeries close together and weight loss, I have lost so much hair. I have actually been wearing a wig. Yes, it is seriously that bad. The good part, NOBODY can tell. ;)

hair extensions

@@Elode

my hair was always thin and straight :angry:

i was one of the lucky ones that really didn't loose any hair PO :)

it did get a little thinner though :(

i have always wondered about hair extensions

would they work with short hair??

or do you need more length to be able to put them in??

might sound like a silly but..............

as long as you take care of the extensions

do you need to wash after awhile

do these extensions last forever??

or do you have to replace after a period of time??

you always looked like a cutie :)

now even more

sorry you couldn't get your weight under your profile pic corrected :mellow:

(hint hint for any any one who can help with that??)

@@Alex Brecher are you around??? ;)

@@proudgrammy Why thank you! You don't have to wash them very often unless you use a lot of products on them. Maybe once a month. If you don't wear them everyday and are easy in them they can last a long time. My hair blends well because it's not to short I think the minimum is 4 inches or else they may not blend well (you don't want them showing...awkward!)
