Hair Extensions

I am adding this blog to help me to remember that I am beautiful and sexy. I have had hair extensions for 3 years, and today is the day that I have decided to have them removed and be me with my REAL hair.

  You know, it's funny, I ALWAYS felt sexy, but I never felt normal, because of my frizzy hair.  I didn't feel like I "matched" with everyone else. My mom has frizzy hair and she raised me to be ashamed of it. A few posts back "Jewish Guilt", I shared that when I was 12 and 13 years old, she started dying my hair red and straightening my hair ON THE SAME DAY. A lot of it fell out; and, consequently, it was real short. It would not grow. She would put mayonaise in my hair several times a week. (Ugh). Now that she is older, she is practically bald.

  I also created an affirmation a few posts back for hair, and it really works (when I use it).

  I straightened my hair and blow dried it with a round brush for many years. About 3 years ago, I got hair extensions and I felt beautiful and normal. Although some of my friends tried to tell me that women in their 50's shouldn't have long hair, I didn't care.

   Now, I am tired of them and I want them out. I am going to my hair salon today at  4pm  to have my hair extensions removed. I will also be straightening my hair. I am scared. I know when I first get it straightened, it's flat. Will I look beautiful to men?  

I met my exboyfriend about a month before I got my hair extensions. My hair was super short and frizzy because of an incident where I had my hair streaked and a huge chunk in back fell out. He still  thought I was beautiful. I couldn't straighten it, because I was trying to heal my hair. I moved to Florida at that time and the humid weather made my hair look worse. That is when I got hair extensions.

  I absolutely loved them and I even had professional pictures taken of me with my hair.

  Well add to this blog in the days ahead. I would love to hear your comments about your hair and your hair extension stories.

   
ME RIGHT AFTER MY DISASTROUS HAIR STREAKING INCIDENT. OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T SEE THE BACK OF MY HAIR.

God love you (((Linda Kaye!)))  I got the big sometimes frizzy, sometimes curly, never doing what I wanted it to hair. My friend had very very fine and thin hair. So we'd cut strips out of mine for her to make hair extensions with. That worked fine till she started cutting it too short and I'd have these strip spikes of hair sticking out of my long hair. Yeah, I looked pretty weird. lol

I like your hair best in the bottom picture. :) But in the top picture you resemble the young lady in my blog post called Tall, Dark and Handsome. Betcha you'll be able to relate. :)

I've always wished I had some curl to my hair.  I have straight hair that gets even straighter the more humid it gets. My daughters were blessed with wave/body/curl in their hair, but they wish they had straight hair like mine. I guess the grass is always greener...

Linda I can't wait to see and hear how your hair looks post extentions.

When my hair feels out of sorts I use a conditioner for black hair.  I sleep with it in and then wash it out the next day.

Since I recently moved back to the states I have had a time finding a sylist I can trust.  My search continues!  Last month I got a horrible trim and had to go to someone else to fix it.  The first lady cut off some 4 inches of my hair!!!  Fortunately my hair grows fast.

My hair has a natural wave so when I want to wear it curly I use the diffuser.  When I want to wear it straight I have to use a flat iron to get out the friz.

Now I am getting gray hairs and do not know what to do about that.  My hair is medium brown and so gray shows up.  As I age I may have to go lighter in color so as never to have gray roots!  Yikes!

All the best! :)))

By the way, for those with frizzy hair, I use Aveda Brilliance when I blow dry my hair, and it works quite well. I just ordered some last night.  Linda

Ok so now I am back. I was there for 5 hours and while I was there I had a mercury in retrograde moment. When I called to make the appointment, I clearly said I wanted removal of extensions, straightening and color. So while the straightening was going on, she came in and said I could come back for the color. I told her that I clearly told her I needed color on the phone...to cover up the gray. She disagreed, and I said I wasn't walking out unless my gray hair wss covered. She walked out of the room upset and then came back saying that if I didn't like the way things were done to find another hair dresser.In the end, she did my color. My hair came out great and then when I was leaving she told me never to come back, because I stressed her out (after she outrageously charged me).  The price stunned me, but I am not upset. She is an excellent hairdresser (the best). It takes her 1 hour to put a whole head of hair extensions in. Amazing.   It usually takes 4 hours in other places,  I couldn't afford the hair extensions anymore. I am not upset. When one door closes, another opens. My hair did come out great. I stopped by some neighbors and they loved it.

By the way, she uses a certain hair straightening formula that doesn't fry the hair, so it can be colored the same day.

Hi Linda!  I am so glad to hear you are pleased with your hair! I use Aveda products too and they are great!  I also love Kerastase and Bumble and Bumble.  My hair does not like to have the same product brand everday so I have to change it up.

It is felt by the majority of my close friends and family that the stylist who cut off all my hair did it on purpose.  Can you imagine?  My search continues.  Sorry you shall now be searching for a new stylist too :(

Hi Malena. Four inches is a lot to cut off. I once had that happen about 30 years ago. I went to a beauty school and they didn't know what they were doing; so, consequently, they cut off all my hair. I looked like a boy. I was hysterical.

Well it is a blessing in disguise for this time around, because my hair extensions were way toooooo expensive. It was costing me a fortune. The hair extensions cost $1200 and then to maintain... OY VEY! It was costing me about $300+ every other month. I was making money just to support my hair extensions. She overcharged me this time. Now I know she did that on purpose. I already have a couple different places lined up.

Malika, do you have any recomendatins for products like the aveda brilliance? Being that I live in humid weather, I found some stuff by Matrix called Sleek out. It's water proof and locks out the humidity. I tested it by going out in my golf cart, and it stayed the same. Thank God.

Oh the hair talk and drama lol!  Fortunately my hair was real long so I am not bald due to the absence of 4 inches.  But still disgusted by it.

Anyway, yes there is a good product by Aveda.  It is sold in a jar.  Aveda brilliant anti-humectante pomade.  I blow dry my hair and then if I use rollers, or iron I take a strip of my hair and apply a small amount of this product and then use the iron.  It gives your hair a very sleek finish and does hold off the curl and frizz that happens with moisture.

Aveda sells 2 products in a jar that look the same.  One is clear (not the one you want) and the other is white (the one you want).

Have you tried Potion #9 by Sebastian?  That is a great leave in.  If you use too much it can make your hair a little stiff, but it definitely will not frizz.

Thanks for sharing the price of extentions.  I had no idea!  Please do not buy another TV with all the extra money you will now have!  lol!

Hi Malika. I used aveda  brilliance for years before I got hair extensions.I ordered some, and thank god I have enough left to use until I receive it. It is the only product that works on my hair. I am praying that I don't get sent the clear; otherwise I will have to take a trip to the mall. I will try sebastian number 9 also. Thanks for the hair tips. Linda

# re: Hair Extensions and Hair Products for frizzy hair @ Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:43 AM

Maleka, I am going through bumble and bumble, and I am curious. I am thinking of purchasing the products called "straight" and "friz". One seems to be protection from humidity which is what matrix has - their smoothing system which locks out humidity. It works. I just want to give my hair a break and not use the same product all the time. Linda
