How To Save Money On Hair Extensions

If you don't have any hair extensions at this moment, I am certain that price has been the road block for you. To have hair extensions applied to your natural hair in a beauty salon can cost $200-$2,000. Most young women and adult women do not see the reasoning to spend such a large amount of money on something that will only last perhaps a few months.

Teens and young women are more likely to purchase clip in extensions which fasten to your real hair with just a small bendable clip. Not only are they easy to attach and remove but they are much more affordable than the salon alternative since you can purchase clip in extensions for about $50-$150.00.

There is even a cheaper alternative to clip in extensions and that is to actually make your own hair pieces. It may sound complicated at first but it really isn't. If you can do a quick hand stitch job with a needle and thread then you can make your own extensions pieces.

The items you will need to make your own extensions are special hair extension thread which will cost about $2.00, some 100% human hair pieces which can be purchased from a beauty store like Sally's, some special clips and a pair of scissors. If you need help with which clips to purchase, be sure to ask a sales clerk to point you to the correct ones for your project.

You basically sew the clips into the extension track and once you have secured the clip by threading your needle through several times, then the clip will be secure enough and you are ready to start using your pieces. There are many easy step by step tutorials available online if you need further assistance but it really is a snap to do!
