can some one please explain to me why people have hair extensions put in? why not just grown one's hair long?

Because some people's hair cannot grow long. My hair doesn't grow past maybe 2 inches below my shoulders. It just stops! They also add fullness to thinner hair.

I think some people can't grow their hair long without it breaking or doing strange things. And some people don't like the way their long hair looks and want a different texture or style to it. Maybe there are other reasons too.

The fullness factor is why I'm considering them.

My hair will not grow much futher than my shoulder level either

I would love to sometimes have much longer hair but only sometimes

When I was in college and grew my mullet, the left side grew straight down, but the right side curled up. I thought it was a cool and different.

I was a mess in college.

Somewhere I have a picture of me with my mullet. I'm in my catering uniform. It's endlessly unfortunate. I can't believe they let me come to work looking like that.

They probably paid you less than the cooler employees.

Maybe they just want long hair now, not in two or three years.

Some people damage their hair with chemicals....bleaching, straightening etc. Extensions add fullness and lenghth.

Also, some people like to go for a different look without permanently altering their hair. Suppose you want to be a blond but you don't want to strip and die your hair? You can do a full head of extensions or wear a wig.

Extensions are so common now I don't know why people even judge them anymore.

Celebrity extensionists:

All them Kardashian bitches

The Hilton heiresses (sp)

Brittney Spears

Christina Aguillera

Kate Beckinsale

Diana Ross

Chaka Khan

Gwenyth Paltrow

Real Housewives of Orange County and Atlanta

All them Destiny Children

Most of your Playboy Bunnies

The list goes on....

and maybe they want long hair to their booties and not just past their shoulders.

because that takes a couple of years? when you are Rihanna and your new album needs a whole new look, you can go from this to this overnight instead!

although that's probably just a wig

but long story short, IMPULSIVENESS want to be in current fashion NOW!

wouldnt a wig be faster than having hair sewn into one's own hair? I read somewhere that it can take up to 4 hours or more..

but imagine how hot & sweaty you'd get underneath a wig, not to mention trying to keep it on while dancing, and the fact that you cannot see a person's scalp under the wig

Plus, what does Rhianna have to do with herself but sit for 4 hours getting extensions? The lady I work with, however, wears a wig and every time she scratches her head it moves a little.

her wigs look pretty nice, actually. I used to wonder how she had such different styles all the time

full wigs can come off if not glued down and pinned to death

m any prefer weaves and extensions since they wear better and the look can last for a week with little maintenance if you sleep properly in the hair

Remember, weaves can be used to alter your look...

Angela Basset wore a short weave to look like she had a pixey cut ( in the movie Waiting to Exhale), she wears her natural hair at shoulder lenght, so weaves are to go short also, not just long

weaves and extensions are supposed to leave the natural hairline intact giving a more natural look to the wearer and undetected... many fail, but they still try

Let me just say....

Pink clip on extensions in platinum blonde hair is downright UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
