Hair Help Please!

Ok I know I have another post but...I want help/advice.

It's about my Ball again. I wanted to get extensions so I could have hair down over my shoulders and some up. It's not til the end of June but I'm getting my colour done on Friday (she's going on holiday and I can always get a root touch up) so that I can go buy extensions and then I can have a run through of the style for my aunts party in the middle of may.

Has anyone got any experience with extensions? The ones I'm getting are from Sally's. My hairdresser is going to put them in for the Ball but would they be hard to put in by myself?

Also...suggest hair styles that would look hot. I'm kinda thinking loose curls...but I cant find any good ones. Help a girly out

Oh and I found shoes - ballet pumps in this like...matt silver...hang on...

and I have little silver bows that match. So yeh...

hmmm...seeing your look seems to be sorta princessy i'd go loose pretty curls (but not TOO loose or they'll just come out...like MY formal hair) and have some sorta highish on the back of your head..not too high tho. Hahaha i'm so useless.

OK ANOTHER THING!

I might not get extensions...although I reeeeeally want them but they're quite expensive but I could reuse them...really need help on this...with reviews..ill post there.

I NEED STYLES THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR MY HAIR IF I DIDNT GET EXTENSIONS!

what kind of extentions? glue on? those are the ones I use.

they're from sally's. I think they have a little clip thing but my hairdresser said to buy glue as well, for security.

k cereal...anyone got any good hair sites?

ive decided. spoke to my mum, it wont be expensive to get my hair done so im maybe gonna go on friday to get my hair put up, as it is because i cant imagine how it could look as i have this fixed way in my head. so if i dont like how it goes...ill reconsider extensions.

i still go by my princessy thing. But alas, having an uncontrolable afro i don't really know how to treat nice hair...maybe...a tiara? Or maybe one of those little puffs and then something sorta classic to balance it out? sorry kiki....

gosh..please please please do not wear a tiara..

Seconded, Gill.

Maybe a totally funky tiara!

Circlets

Circlets are lovely but tiaras are lame.
Have you tried searching photobucket using the keywords formal hair, prom hair, & vintage hair?

i dont want a tiara or anything. i wanna keep it simple.

i didnt think to search photobucket, thankies.

im going in to talk to the hairdresser on friday.

im in love with this:


but think id need longer hair maybe...



but jes as i said...something cute and dressy but still kind of casual...nowt too fussy.
everything i searched with prom hair and stuff was like...90s pics with those spikes or really ugly stuff

Hye--spikes weren't in in the 90s! LOL! That was the early 2000s....hehehe

In the 90s everyone had updo's! Or short hair with curls...LOL!

oh whenever it was they were just like...really old pics. but updos with spikey bits are just nasty.

i want summat just quite plain and unfussy. i think because my dress is so princessy and its full length and stuff, just loose will be cute.

dyou think the top one i posted (anyone thats good with hair - i cant even get pigtails straight so...) would work with my hair? it just seems curled and then pinned up a bit and i have sidey fringe anyway so...

A good hairdresser can get hair to do anything! The top one should work, and even if it's not exactly the same, a variation of it, anyways.

mhm - I could even do that, , especially if they were glue in extentions...I can work easily with those!

Wouldn't that get in your eyes? And i didn't mean like crown princess tiara..i meant those little small clips with lyk pearls or something to put at the base...more like clips i guess. But i really like the second one...

im used to my hair in my eyes. i like my emo side fringe

and either way im not a pearls and sparlkes kind of gal. my wee silver bows are cool.

hahaha i'm so bad i try to enforce my glittery fantasies on everyone

yeah me too....Im...completely obcessed with glitter.

I think your hair would look nice with kinda loose curls/waves and half tied back, or pinned back.
I have the same dress as you and I also can't decide what to do with my hair haha. It's so difficult trying to find the right balance

What about something like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys? I think my hair is about the same length as yours and I love that look...
You might have to use some kind of hair-cushion to get that "poofy" look, but your hairdresser will know about that...

Woop. Ok I wasn't sure what my hair could do without extensions so I called my hairdresser and she said I could go in and speak to her.

She sat me down and we had a chat and all I did was say that I didn't want it all up, just half of it...and she basically said exactly what I wanted. She suggested I get the extensions (which is cool with me) and stuff so yeh...because we could do it without but it wont like...look different to my normal hair...and ill use them after the ball too so ye know.

Oooooh awesome! So is it gonna be like that pic?....

Okayyyyyy well that didn't work... but I mean the pic with the cool fringe and the curly updo at the back thingy...

It's gonna be like the Nicole Kidman one, with the top bit back (like my signature pic) and then sort of pinned and then I'll have the long cascading hair over my shoulders and curled...

We were talking and it's like...I don't want my hair up, but as my signature shows, I can wear it like that any day and if I curled it, it would be like, realling boingy and short and sort of...stupid looking because it'd be all thick but if I had the extensions then it'd be better and fancy

Sarahpuff! You said you'd used the Sally's extensions? Or something similar. They come straight, so if they curled them for my ball, could I straighten them again?
