I used to go to beauty supply stores and get extensions. I went through a bunch of packets, but they are really hard on my hair and they were so hard to put in and to blend. It was just a big headache everytime I had to use them. So if I were you, I would just skip the headache and go to Bravadas and get a Halo extension. They're easy to wear, and they're much easier on your hair. They made my life easier as a whole.
