Hi Geeks
I have hair extensions fitted regularly, a new set put in just the other day and it pains me to say I am not thrilled infact I am fretting a bit over it!
When I had my last set out, I had my hair chopped in to a long (just at shoulders) blunt bob, fearne cotton style.
Last time I had 180 1gram bonds, this time I have the full 200 bonds in and yet it looks a mess.
I had my hair coloured same day before the extensions were fitted and when colouring, I some lowlights scattered through to match the extensions as I have a mix of 60, 22 and 18 put in. However the lowlights of my natural hair are darker than the 18.
On top of that, I dont think the bonds go up as high on my scalp as they normally do, they seem to be placed closer together so the full 200 was used before reaching as high which now has resulted in a big top heavy layer which is cut bluntly (due to my hair cut) and because of the darker low light its blatantly obvious. I have a big top layer, which is darker sitting over a long mass of extensions hanging from underneath. Hope this explains. I can add a photo.
To fix - I was told to wash the top section of natural hair to try and fade the lowlight, I have did this four times in 2 days. I was told to fix the heaviness i'll need to add a few more rows of bonds further up the scalp above the existing rows, so I am having 40more bonds fitted.
My question is - to extensionist geeks - is this going to work? Or am I going to get to end of week and still want to cry?
Any advice appreciated.. from a very stressed blonde!
