This is a serious question asking about hair extensions. I have no experience with them.

What is this constant hair picking about?

To me someone constantly scratching at the their head, I want to check for lice.

So please someone in the know, explain it to me. I have seen bits of how its done on 'Jerseylicious' and 'LA Looks', but nothing about how the consumer reacts to having them in their hair after a while.

How long do the last? Why do they itch? Are there different forms? The beads? The sewen in kinds? How to care for them?

I just don't know enough.

I'm with you on this one - I hope someone answers because the whole hair extension thing is a mystery to me too!

The way I understand it is extensions can be applied by sewing, braiding, gluing or clipping in the extensions to a client‘s existing hair. Although the sewing and braiding methods cause the highest amount of discomfort, probably why they scratch or pat so much.

I have no information, just more questions. I wonder how Wil looks without them. Is his hair short? Did he just add them for fullness, or for length?

Hair extention girl here!!
I have fine hair so I love them. I used to have them braided and sewen in. I think that is the best way, but it takes forever...I had two small braids going sideways along my head, about 4 inches apart, and then 2 rows of hair are sewn in thru the braid..if that makes sense...no damager to hair that way.
They also have single pieces that u glue in, which can fall out, and are really damamging.

I now have seperate tracks that are put in by a bead, and You can go about 2 months before have to have them tightened. Sometimes they are a bit itchy, but mildy so, like having your hair up or on a ponytail.
These are the ones I have now...

They cost $350 to get them, and $30 to get them tightened avery couple of months.
It looks to me like Wil has the seperate pieces...that are put in with glue, and probably itch.
I cant imagine going anywhere, let alone on tv, for 3 months with extensions. If u dont keep them up, they look awful. Rachel and Janie both did tho, so maybe they all got a crash course on how to keep them in

Rachel didn't have hers in all the time, though. I remember her holding them frequently. :-)

I think Janelle is wearing extensions but she doesn't have the problems Wil has. They must be the better kind.

Redpen, Janelle said several times straight out, and then showed us, that she is not wearing any extensions. She said she bought some before going into the house, but she accidentally ruined them by coloring them, so she ended up not bringing any.

Well, if she has that much hair for real, why would she want hair extensions? This is a serious question. I also know nothing about hair extensions.

LOL, I agree Juju, I don't get the whole extension thing. I would understand if you had thin hair or were going bald, but that doesn't seem to be the case for a lot of people.

I have seen that stylists use them to thicken hair, make it seem more lusurious for photo shoots but I don't get it for regular life.

I did know one gal who had extensions because she wanted long hair and couldn't grow it - her hair broke off, but her whole head was extensions, not just adding some in. They were really expensive and she had to have her whole head redone every few months.

I'm puzzled by it myself. I've always had long, thick hair and can't for the life of me figure out why people with such hair (Kim Kardashian for example) does it. Seems like an awful lot of trouble and expense to go to when nature has blessed you anyway.

I'm also puzzled by it. I have been blessed with thick hair that has lots of body. My hair grows so fast that I have it cut every 5-6 weeks just to keep it manageable. Honestly, I spend more time fighting with my hair because I can't stand having my hair blow in my face when it is windy outside, or in my face when I'm trying to eat - which is why I keep my hair in a ponytail 95% of the time.

I can't wrap my brain around someone paying hundreds of dollars for extensions if they already have long, thick hair.

Wil just said there are 600 - 700 hairs in his extensions. He just pulled on out because it was bugging him.

Yes, you can wash extensions... they are (supposed to be) real hair.

I wash mine like regular hair. I have fine hair, and Im tall, and wear heels so I always felt like I was a q-tip head. My hair always looked terrible by the end of the day too...since its fine, and hair spray doesnt doesnt work, I just didnt like may hair. My extensions make my hair just look more balanced on me. It also makes my hair way easier to do in the morning..Its $30 to get mine tightened, and I do it about every 6 - 8 weeks. You can also color your hair, cute...whatever you do with normal hair.
I think thr L A hollywood types do it because everyone thre is trying to one-up each other in those circles.. THE thickest and THE longest...
I dont have any bald spots by the way, haha...I have hair, its just too fine for my liking..think Cameron Diez. I always noticed fine hair on people, and IMHO I dont think her hair ever looks good on her unless she has that short choppy shag or extensions in when its longish...
