What are the pros and cons of permanent hair extentions? Where can I get them? How much do they cost?

I have medium hair. And when I did the 'hair strand strength' test, my hair did not pull out easily at all. Im moving this summer and wanted a change, can anyone give me the details of permanent extensions and and how they work? Thanks!What are the pros and cons of permanent hair extentions? Where can I get them? How much do they cost?
There are different types of extensions. Weaves, glue in, fusion, micro links are most common.





Weaves last about a month, and are uncomfortable and damaging. Cost about $300-$700





Fusion is better and uses i-tipped or u-tipped hair, they are attached using a bonding keratin glue, strand by strand (well not individual strands, but small pieces). These are damaging and can cause breakage leaving your hair very short as it breaks at the glue point.Cost $400-$2000, last 3-6 months. Hair is garbage when done.





Micro links are the best of the options. They use I-tipped hair (or loop hair)and are connected using a small ';bead';. The best thing about micro links is that the hair is reusable as there is no glue involved, and if you want to keep them longer than the recommended 4-6 months you simply move up the bead. These cost between $400-$2000+ and 200 strands are needed for full head with this, as well as fusion.





You can cut costs by buying your own hair. You want to buy Remy Human Hair, this hair can be cut, dyed whatever, you treat it as your own. With the exception of washing, you cant wash all different types more than 2-3 times a week. If you need help finding good quality affordable hair please let me know. I can find you great hair online for $200 or less





Those are your more permanent extensions, I have had each one of those done (except glue cuz its horrible) and honestly, I love clip ins. They are so low maintenance and soo much cheaper. $100 will get you 2 packs of grade A hair ( i like using two packs, looks more natural that way). They are just so much easier to deal with and convenient. Im not guna lie, weaves, fusion, and micros are all very uncomfortable to sleep with and feel in your head. I find clip ins look the most natural, whenever i tell people I have them in they are shocked.If you need any kind of help finding hair (if your guna order online) let me know, I've bought a lot of hair online and can help you find what you need very quickly lolWhat are the pros and cons of permanent hair extentions?

Hair Extensions can be great but they are very damaging to your hair and can be VERY expensive. They are around 800-1000 dollars. Clip in hair extentionsare great, I have them and you can wear them everyday or just when you want a different look. They cost around $300 and will last you forever, as long as you get human hair ones. Permanent hair extentions need to be taken out and put new ones in every 6-8 weeks, and cost the same each time(800-1000) so they are very pricey.
