Well I have been trolling this thread for a while and have read every single response. Youguys have been beyond helpful. Reading this thread motivated me to get off my butt and start seriously scooping out some hairstyles/products for my cruise (which is a month away...YAY!:p).
So....after considering all my options, thanks to all your lovely suggestions, I have finally come up with my cruise hair gameplan. lol Here it goes:
- For "wet and wild"/daytime/fun in the pool or beach days, I bought a cheap 100% Human hair premium blend (ENCORE) wet and wavy extensions.....$16 bucks for a pack...only need 1 pack because the hair is BIG!
- Now for "grown and sexy"/nighttime/dinner/club/steakhouse, I bought the Janet Prestige super french remy wet and wavy extensions....$140 for 2 packs (18inches, and 14inches)
So, you may (or may not) be wondering how in the world I plan on switching back and forth from weave to weave....Well the answer is very simple: I will be sewing on CLIP-INS! Seriously ladies, I think this is the way to go. Here are my reasons for going this route:
1-I dont have to fuss with my hair at all after being in the pool all day. Simple un-clip the "daytime" extensions and wash (if I feel like it...:)) They are the cheap $16 ones and can be mishandled as I wish.
2-The nighttime expensive $140 bucks one will always look fresh to death:D
2b-They seriously take less than 10 minutes to clip on. I just have to braid the front (2-3 braids) at night to get the wavy look.
3-I can actually wash my own hair every night...with no thread to worry about! (imagine sand getting into a sew-in or the braids underneath:eek:
4-Its much cheaper for me to sew in my wig clips (about $10 bucks for the clips) than to pay $140 to have someone sew in extensions into my hair.
5-The main man prefers my natural hair when its sexy time...for technical reasons of course...;) And I am sure there will be plenty of that!
So there...My very own perfect plan. Hope this helps someone. And honestly, sewing in the clips is not difficult at all. Just get the thick thread, a couple of wig clips and curved needles from the beauty supply store and you are set. I am sooooooo EXCITED!!!!!
