Make your hair extensions thicker!

Hey everyone!  I'm not dead! haha.  I've been having some problems with google and to make a long story short, i will no longer provide them with a place to put their advertisements.  But any way! this is a over due blog about how to make your hair extensions thicker!!!



I went to sallys and purchased some blonde extensions from the sassy collection that had not been cut or clipped yet.  they were only about 50 dollars.  In comparison, my already cut and clipped blonde extensions were 100 dollars also from sallys.




Instead of buying thread there, i used some embroidery thread we had around the house


The first thing you need to do is measure the length of your already cut and clipped extension.  Then, cut a piece slightly smaller out of your new extensions


This is my new piece,  it was just a hair shorter on each side than my regular extensions.  Put a little dab of super glue on the ends(where you just cut!) to prevent fraying.


Next, sew the two pieces together using any stitch you are comfortable with!  I am not a seamstress nor am i good at sewing so i used a basic stitch.  


after you sew all of your pieces together, your extensions will be nice and thick like this!!!!  This is how i look with my extensions now!


As you can see my ends are very thick and also i have quite a bit of length!
Let me know how your extensions turn out!  
Check back soon for more!  Thanks for reading!

My mom's new hair!

 Hey guyss.  a few days ago i finally talked my mom into letting me fix her hair!!
Heres the final look




This is how moms hair was originally.  The color was faded, and it was much too long in the back!  Also, her style was a bit dated.




The first thing i did was cut her hair! I cut a lot off of the back and just a little in the front


After the cut, i used a really cheap dye by revlon in shade 41.  This hair dye is really only about 4 dollars and it works really well on my moms hair.  She has a lot of grey so she dyes it about every two weeks, so going cheaper is the best option!!

After all the dye was washed out, i styled it.  Usually she just uses a bunch of hairspray!  But it's time for a change.  I ran Alterna putty (orange container) through her hair giving it body, and then i used the ion sculpting wax to define little pieces.
This is the result!

 I think it looks great!  it gives her a clean more modern look!

Check back soon for more!
