A few questions about hair-extensions/hair growth…?
So I've gone back and forth for a few weeks as far as getting this done.
Back in November I had to have my hair cut off very short in order to get it all to grow at an even length, but the problem is my hair doesn't grow quickly at all ( it took almost 3 years to get it from my shoulders to an inch or 2 above my breasts), hence the want for extensions until I can get it to my desired length.
I don't personally know anyone who has had them before so I wanted to ask here to get some feedback.
Right now, my hair is, at it's longest, 2-3 inches [in the back, my "bangs" fall to the middle of my cheeks].
Is this too short to have extensions put in?
What is the best method to use when getting them?
I'd prefer a method where my hair won't fall out or be damaged to the point I'd have to cut it off short again, completely defeating my purpose.
Also, how expensive do these usually run? Or is that something that varies from salon/stylist to salon/stylist?
Also will I be able to shampoo/condition, brush, style, etc. the extensions after (and if) I get them?
Or does anyone know of any shampoos/vitamins/etc that will help accelerate hair growth?
Any "experienced" input would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks :)

most hair grows 2-3cm a month on average theres nothing you can do about it.
a good balanced diet can help.
hair extentions are very expensive…i would love real ones but i just cant afford them they are expensive because they are real and also because it takes 4hours+ to get a full head of them glued in.
if you do get this done you will be able to to anything to them when it comes to styling and washing them.
you need to look after them or they can knot up with your actual hair and it can be very painful and costly to sort out. and your hair will probably end up shorter than it already is.
also you need them removed every 3months as they are glued onto your real hair at the roots and after 3 months your hair will have grow so much that you wont beable to brush your roots and it looks a mess.
i have clip in extentions made from real hair so i can style them and i take them out whenever i like. just got to make sure you cover the clips up well!
my friend recommended them to me. she wears them all the time and i didnt even realise it! you just take them out at night and put them in again in the morning!
they are also quite cheap i got a full head of them for £29 which is alot better than the hundreds i would spend on proper extentions.
