In a wig or on your own hair? If on your own hair it's not a good idea, it is often expensive and the weight of the extensions may make your hair fall out faster. In fact most places make you fill out a form asking if you have had alopecia etc and if so they do not recommend it. Hope that helps. Anna.

Hi Gale. I have hair extensions in now and I do like them. I have them only around the base of my head, as the top of my scalp is very sensitive b/c of the type of alopecia I have. I really like them. They add a lot of fullness and are relatively easy to deal with. The drawbacks are: they are expensive (I paid $700 for mine) and you do have to go in about every 5 weeks to have them maintained, which is expensive. Maintained means having them taken out and moved up. As my hair grows (what I still have) the extensions have to be moved up or else those strands of hair are longer than the rest. Please know extensions can put some stress on the scalp/hair so I would absolutely talk to your doctor first. I pay close attention to mine. If my scalp starts to itch or burn, I have my stylist take them out in that particular spot. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, just let me know. I'm here:)

Hey all,
I lost all my hair and it started growing back about a month ago. I really hate this short spiky hair. I used to have long hair and I miss it loads. I was wondering has anyone used hair extentions after regrowth??
I really want some clip ins to wear now and then.
