Hello, lovelies.
I had dreadlocks and cut them all off recently, now I have very short hair. My hair is about 2 inches long and I desperately want to add some length.
I've seen girls with pixies put in extensions so I'm sure I can make it work.

Anyways, I want opinions about which brand/length/thickness you recommend. I have fine individual strands of hair, but a lotttttt of them. I also dye my hair frequently so I need something of good quality so the extensions will hold up for a while.
I've bought Foxy Locks, and damn near every extension set from Sally's, so please suggest something else haha.

I'm also thinking I'll wear my hair like this so the short layers up top aren't as visible. Think that would work?

Thanks for reading my rambling & thanks for any suggestions!

You should post a pic of what your hair looks like now so we can get an idea of what were really workin with, it's kind of hard for me to picture what extensions will really go with your hair without fully seeing it. If that make sense
Also did you like your Foxy Locks extensions??

When I had my hair in a pixie I wore extensions, I had to have them a good bit thicker than what I need now with longer hair as my usual ones just looked stringy, also would like to know how you found the foxy locks extensions? :)

I really liked my Foxy Locks, they held up nicely and I dyed them a handful of times. The quality was great & the thickness was the best part. I got the second highest gram set, I don't know how many that was exactly. OH, and they were incredibly soft and natural looking.

I'd repurchase them, but they're definitely not budget friendly, haha.

This is the best I could do for a picture of the back.

Haha LOVE your hair colour :) My hair was all the length of the back. Have you tried amazon for extensions? I get mine from there when I'm low on funds. I usually can't get the right shade and have to get blonde and dye them but still ends up a lot cheaper!

I've heard great things about Dirty Looks. And they send a sample one with what you bought so you open that and if you don't like it or the colours wrong, don't open the rest and you can return it.
