Hey guys!
I have tried clip in extensions and for 4 years I've been a regular user of them, however I would quite like to try a permanent option of hair extension beads or glued in etc... Has anyone had any EXPERIENCE with these types of hair extensions and how long do they last... Do they randomly fall out??

I've had sew ins, and the keratin extensions in terms of permanent options. Sew in has so far and will always be my favorite, my hair always grows a tremendous amount and it's fun because I can play on the style and color without worrying about damaging my own hair. Keratin was good but I feel like the woman who did my hair wasn't trained because it didn't come out that well and when it came time to it out of my hair, I had a lot of fall out and the glue was just stuck in my hair for a few washes. I'd highly advise going to a trained professional and seeing pictures and reviews of their work before delving into any permanent hair extensions

I don't have personal experience but my cousin who is a hair dresser loves tape ins and glue ins. The glue ins sometimes do fall out if you brush to hard or pull on them, but it's super easy to put back In, I've put them back in for her a few times, but both tape in and glue ins she usually keeps them until her hair grows about an inch then she gets them reinstalled but I believe you could go to 2 inches. She really loves them and doesn't notice any damage with them.

I work as an extension technician, and as far as the semi permanent options go, tape ins cause the least damage, however if you live somewhere with a hot climate it can cause the tape to get gooey and mat up. second option is microbeads which look the most natural and allow you to put your hair up. both are awesome, however microbeads are super time consuming. expect to sit for 3 to 4 hours having them installed. for either option expect to have them touched up every 4-6 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows. and always always always go to someone reputable! otherwise they can really fuck up your hair/scalp if not done properly.
