Chic n' Fresh #3

 It is time for Chic n' Fresh #3

and this week our theme is 

Extensions- Clip in style

To learn about my Chic n' Fresh series go 

HERE

So I have had a lot of people compliment my hair 

when I had the long A-line

and would get a lot of questions about it

Well guess what the front was extensions

Yup the clip in kind

I have had the beaded extensions in the past and I LOVED them

and they were so much cheaper in Cedar City

But up here in Salt lake they are about double and almost triple the price

so NO thank you that is too much for me

I needed another option

So I tried the clip ins out

And I loved them

I just bought them at Sally's

They are real hair that you can curl, straighten, blow dry

It was the Euronext Straight human hair

then I had a friend cut them for me 

and I would just put them in everyday

So right now my hair actually look a little bit more like THIS

I got really brave one day and just chopped it all off

It was damaged and it needed to go

But I am so excited that I have my clip ins 

because I can use them

when my hair is a little longer again

That is what is so awesome about them 

You can use them for length, for volume, for color

and much easier than any other kind

So let me now share with you

A much cheaper option to extensions 

that I used to do and LOVED and that

I am know I will use again in the future

This used to be the length of my damaged hair that

would not grow

I would just wash it, blow dry it

and straighten it like normal

and this is what it would look like

All ready to put my hair in :)

This is what the extensions look like

Because my hair was short and I was just using these

for a little length

They were each cut a certain way

and needed to go in the same spot every time

so I color coded them with different color nail polish 

so I knew which layer went where

Easy Peasy right?!

Right!

Once you are all ready

You section your hair and clip it up

so It is ready for the first layer

Then I use this beauty

my teasing brush

to help the clips adhere to my hair

What I do is tease the hair a little bit and then clip the clips 

right to the teased hair and then it stays all day long

and won't slip out

There is the first one all clipped in 

it takes about 20 seconds

I swear it is so easy

There is a not so good picture

(sorry)

close up of the clip ins right up to my own hair

Then you will just continue to do all the other layers

I had four layers on each side 

and the back of my head was just all my own hair

Creating a longer A-line look

No one ever even knew I had extensions

And viola done

So fun, so easy

and it made me feel good

and that is what us moms need right!

And guess what I promise you will feel oh so Chic and FRESH :)

This post is linked up to my parties HERE

Thank you for all your support and for reading

There isn't much there anymore

Hope I rock it ok
