Working in the beauty industry can be good and bad! Wonderful hairstylist put these in for me and it pretty well blend in with my own hair... All I have to do is to treat the extensions with leave in conditioner and baby oil...

it's a great way to know if I'd be able to deal with my hair getting longer. I really love it. I had them put in Saturday and plan of keeping them in for 4 months or so... And hopefully, just wash my hair every week or so, that would be so fantastic to not play and fuss with my hair for hours trying to make it look nice until it has grown some... :applause

Wow! They match so well. What type of extensions are they? I had micro rings and hated them after a week or two :lol:

Thanks so much! I really love them... They are fused ones. Got 145 ones put in, took 2 hours. She trimmed them with long layers, I couldnt be more pleased! 'love them!

Eep! I wouldn't have them in my hair but if it works for you that's all that matters! They do look lovely. :D

Cheater cheater! :whip:

It sure sounds and looks like a good way to get through the 'awkward' stage - whatever that is :D

The hair looks great!

They blend very well - especially with the waves. I would have never known they were extensions if you hadn't provided that information.

They look real good! I'm waiting till my hair grows some so I can put in some extensions and look real scene.

They are very cute! I like your colour and it's a good shade match.

They look awesome! And it's indeed a great way to get through an awkward stage, but don't the extensions damage your hair?

They look perfectly blended ♥

You've changed your haircolor from the brilliant red! *sniffling and teary eyed*

They look great! Extensions never feel right in my hair because it's quite blunt and all on elength and straight! They do look fantastic! Are you wearing them everyday when you go out or just for special occasions?

they look nice but i had fused extensions a year ago and when the time came to get them taken out and re-fused, i saw the state of the ends of my hair underneath and stopped wearing them altogether.
just a warning, keep an eye on your natural hair, if it seems to get pulled by the extensions id get them checked before 4 months x

Cheater! :D

Haha, just kidding. I can definitely relate. I used to have a false terminal length of only APL, I wanted hair longer than that SO SO bad. I guess the only thing that stopped me from getting them was being a poor student. :p

Watch out with fusion extensions... Those are the worst. When I took mine out finally I had clumps of my own hair coming out with it. Really made my hair thin.

Ooooo, pretty :) Personally I wouldn't get extensions now, although I did seriously consider it when my hair was shorter so I can understand why you wanted them ;) They look really nice and very well blended with your own hair. I wouldn't have known you hair wasn't real if you hadn't said :)

Hahaha! Just saw your post on the other thread and stalked you a bit to find this!

Your extensions look awesome :D They completely blend and fit your natural hair texture really well.

If I could have had extensions that blended to get to APL+ I totally would have.

They look really good!

I just hope it doesn't damage your real hair in the process.

Amethyste, the long hair looks very good on you. You would never know that they were extensions. They did a very nice job on your hair.

That is a great indicator of how awesome your hair will look as it grows! I wish I could do that for a day.

You look very youthful and beautiful with long hair. I hope it will work out so you can grow your hair in underneath it if that is your goal.

They look gorgeous!
And even if you are a cheater, it's what makes you happy that counts :p
Just kidding about the cheater part, but it really is what makes you happy that counts. :D

Oh wow, thought this thread was dead haha! Thank you all so much for the nice comments! I am really happy with the results, honestly they all blend in so well with my hair. One nice poster said that I look youthful with longer hair... I never really said my age on here but I am in my 40s so this compliment really made me smile profusely... ;)

The goal is to do this for a year or so to pass the annoying stage where no updos look decent and the hair is too long to treat it like its short... I know it's lazy, but I am just too busy at the moment to fuss with my hair, I sort of just want to forget about it in all honesty. With my work and music rehearsals, I don't have extra time to deal with it haha.

Thank you all so much for the comments, you all made my evening!
