Using hair extensions to thicken your hair?

Whoa! That's nice! You're making me want to try the same thing.

Just to support the paranda idea; here's a pic of my hair with a paranda made of Kanekalon hair that I purchased from ebay. I blended two different colors (total cost about $8.00) and used a standard paranda knot rather than a ponytail tie. It braids in with no damage to my fine, thin hair and I've had people on the street come up to me to tell me what great hair I have when I wear it.

You just posted this pic in the paranda thread and I had to do a triple take. I looked at your other buns then looked at this. You cannot at all tell it's not real hear. At least I can't and for only $8 that's awesome

^ It's stunning, lunasea! I can't believe it's just Kanekalon and not your own hair - the match is just perfect!

And what a gorgeous fork, too! Stunning!

Does it feel heavy at all (after a few hours of wear) or is OK?

Thank you everyone! No meteor it doesn't get heavy at all. That cheapo hair is pretty much weightless!

I think mixing the colors is the secret to getting it to match. That, and starting a french braid as far up as you can so that the color is mixed in almost from the roots down.

Didn't Nightshade have a hair paranda made by puppycatmeow on etsy? It was one of the popular henna heads.. Technically extensions but less damaging compared to a traditional extension

I saw her modelling one on her site with a before after. It looks amazing.
