Receiving My "Foreign eBay" Clip In Hair Extensions

So, as you all know from my previous post I decided that I really wasn't too ecstatic about the length of my natural "God-given" hair; considering that my hair had only grown to be about shoulder length over the past six months. So, I decided I wanted to invest in hair extensions. The only bad thing about my decision in buying hair extensions was that these puppies could sometimes cost hundreds of dollars. Also, there was the fact that I am a college student, and paying for anything that isn't considered "needed" can be difficult for me to do, especially with my financial status in mind. So, I decided to check Ebay, and personally, I'm not new at all to eBay. eBay is where I tend to find most of the things that I sometimes cannot afford otherwise. So, after logging onto eBay I searched, and I searched, and when I finally found some hair extensions that I could afford (considering that they were $27 for a set of 7 piece clip in hair extensions) I jumped right on purchasing them.

Naturally I was very excited after purchasing my extensions, I mean it's not everyday that you get such a good deal like the one I thought that I was receiving. It was only when my extensions arrived in my mailbox that my excited feelings got completely crushed. First of all, the extensions did miraculously match my natural hair color, which was not the reason for my dismay. The reason why I was so dissatisfied with my extensions was because the wefts looked pitiful. With most hair extensions you can hold them up, and barely see through them, but these hair extensions looked patchy, and had very little hair sewed into them. So, I then decided that I could just buy a few other sets to try and fix the horrible mess that I got myself into, but this definitely did not work to my satisfaction either. Finally, to get my hair to look at least normal I had to put 21 wefts in my hair, and in the end my hair still did not look full nor thick. In fact, my hair looked very thin, and scraggly.

Overall, I would definitely recommend that if you are looking for hair extensions that you DO NOT try to take the "easy road", and buy cheap hair extensions. Even if you are not very financially endowed like I have found myself I would definitely recommend that you save up your money and buy a nice set of extensions. I found out that hard way, especially in this case "you get what you pay for".

  1. A full head of extensions range from 5 to 9 packs of hair, assuming each pack contains 20 strands, 1g per strand. If your client has fine, thin hair with some layers and about shoulder length, chances are 5 to 6 packs may be enough.

    If your client has a blunt bob that is medium to thick in density, you will require about 10 to 12 packs of hair since you will need to blend the extensions in for a natural look.

    For most clients, you will need at least 5 packs or 100 strands of hair extensions. The number of hair extension packages you need will be based on the length and thickness of the client’s hair and the length and volume the client wants to achieve. This is why it is very important to have the client come in for a consultation prior to installation.

    For fine/thin hair, from the occipital bone down, it will take about 50- 60 strands; from the occipital up, to the crown, it will take 50-60 strands.

    For medium/thick hair, from the occipital bone down it will take 60- 80 strands; from the occipital bone up, to the crown it will take 50-80 strands.

    Remember, if the hair of your client is thicker or shorter, more often than not, you will need more packages of hair extensions to be able to blend the hair in, making it easy for you to create a natural look.
