Time to talk HAIR for real...

Anyone that really knows me knows I'm all about hair, or should I say extensions. If I calculated all the money I spent on extensions it would be a deposit on a home, but it has became an addiction. Since I was eight teen I have been getting extensions and tried many different ways of putting them in and many different brands of hair. At the moment I have 1B 22inch Outre Velvet Virgin Remy hair 2 packs which weights about 8 ounces at $145 per pack sewed into my head, you need to packs to do a full head. I got the hair from a beauty supply store in Harlem on 125th st. I don't have the exact packs I used to show you but this is what they look like...



I find the sewing method to be the best and cheaper then others. Micro links would be my second favorite, Keratin bonding or glue I don't like because if you sweat the hair will come out and it ruins your natural hair. If  you can get a friend willing to watch tutorials on micro beading and keratin bonding on YouTube then you can have them do it, and buy all the supplies online. Much more cost effective then over priced salons, and to be honest anyone can put in extensions it's very easy! The two brands of hair that I trust is Outre Velvet and Bobbi Boss, they shed the least and don't tangle, also you can re use the hair depending on how well you take care of it. Some of the tricks Ive learnt is to wash only once a week and NEVER rub the hair when washing, braid your hair before going to bed and try to NOT use to much heat on the hair as much as you can. Also it's a good idea to use oil after styling like organic argan oil or coconut oil. Also when brushing hold the hair at the top of the weft/root and start from the bottom working your way to the top (this helps stop shedding).
This pic is so silly but it's the only one I have taken recently with my hair down for you guys to see.
I have posted the links below to sites that are trusted if you want to buy your own hair or other supplies. And if you have any hair questions feel free to leave comments down below...
