Hi
I know this has been asked many a time before but I'm so clueless and need help on this. I can't ask my wedding hairdresses as they have never seen my hair before and I won't be having a trial until 3 days before the wedding as we're in different states.
My hair is just below my shoulders but I want a curly/wavy down do so need a bit of extra length. With 8 weeks to go - this won't happen naturally so I'm looking at clip in hair extensions.

I know someone on here recommended Hair Glamour but are there any recs for any other ebay stores? Also what do I need to look for - obviously the extensions need to be human hair but what length do I need to get? Where do the extensions actually sit - under my natural hair as an extra layer or are they put in throughout? Can most hairdressers put them in and work with them?
Is there anything else at all that I need to think about?

As I said before I am really clueless when it comes to hair things so any help is appreciated!

think it was me who said hair glamour so I can't recommend anyone else but I can probably help with some of your other q's...

I would recommend that you look for a full 7 piece set which includes different widths which get put in at different places all over your head. (I wish I could draw a diagram!!! It's so hard to explain!) I'll copy the widths from an ebay listing:

Full Head Clip-on 20 inch (50.8cm) Extension set (7 piece set)

One - 8 inch (20.32cm) wide piece (3 clips per piece)
Two - 6 inch (15.24cm) wide pieces (3 clips per piece)
Two - 4 inch (10.16cm) wide pieces (2 clips per piece)
Two - 2 inch wide (5.08cm) pieces (1 clip per piece)

I got 18 inches long and that when curled came to where my strapless dress started. For the pic you've posted, I would say to get the 20 inch length so when it's curled it comes down a bit past the dress.

Try and get a colour as close to your natural colour, and, if like me you decide that you want to change your hair colour for the big day - just dye the extensions at the same time (I did this by lying them down on a towel I didn't care about, and brushing the dye on to the hair).

Hope this helps!

 My hair is 100% natural human hair. I have 14 colours, sizes from 10 inches to 28 inches.
If you have hair on top of the head area and very less in back side,then hair extensions can fix. If you are interested contact me to my mail id. mallikasreekumar@yahoo.com

There are many different types of Hair Extensions on the market, but for the sake of simplicity we will focus on two main types of application methods: Individual Strands and Wefts...
The Individual method involves taking small amounts (maybe 20-50 strands) of extension hair (natural or synthetic, but we'll get to that later) and applying to small sections of your own hair by either weaving in, heat fusing, gluing, clamping with metal rods or using waxes and polymers. All of these methods (except for the clamping which is self explanatory) involve coating your own hair with a chemical or foreign substance......

He see this very important......hair extensions will not grow back! If you get them too hot with the blow dryer, curling iron, etc., you can burn the hair and damage your beautiful hair extensions and this will not help with any wedding hairstyles or prom hairstyles you had planned.

Primary colors may be the most commonly used, but arsenal shirts have far more variety than that. There are kits that feature light blues, deep maroons, oranges, and even pink. It is difficult to say that certain colors are more popular than others because manchester united shirts come in such a wide variety of patterns and hues. When looked at over history, though, it is safe to say that in general the most highly used colors for classic football shirts have traditionally been red, blue, yellow, green and white.
