Stop your searching. Longer, thicker and healthy hair can be yours. Have an hour?
Real Talk: Extensions. Curious? Want added volume or length or texture but not willing to sacrifice damaging your hair in the process? Extensions can give you length or volume or texture (or all of the above). But – extensions can damage your hair in ways that will stress-you-out. Hair can fall out (in chunks!) and become majorly damaged.
That’s why you need to do your homework. And that’s why I trust Tony Odisho extensions done by my stylist, Ashley Varcelli-New. Finally, a line of extensions formulated with gentle, natural ingredients to maintain the beauty and health of hair. Meaning, this will not make a hot mess of your hair. I know. I use Tony Odisho extensions.

I don’t wear my hair long anymore. Could have used this information when I did have long hair. Wonderful for those who want longer hair.
Hi Candy – remember that its just not for length. Its for added volume and/or texture. Lots of options… I chose length but that doesnt mean its the only way to go. All depends on your needs and style.
Thank you for sharing! I have hypothyroidism, and I think that’s affecting how much I’m shedding. I started taking biotin, but am always willing to try anything to get my thick hair back!
I also have hypothyroidism (since 4th grade) so I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about. You should consider extensions…and happy to chat more if you’d like more detailed advice.
I have always thought it would be fun to get extensions, but the upkeep of them kept me away. This is all really helpful! I love the look of long and thick hair, I am growing mine out and I know it will get long but it is going so slow!
Extensions aren’t that difficult to maintain, so long as you know the steps. I hope my post gave you some great ideas! While you’re waiting for your hair to grow, you can definitely use these!
I was just talking to my stylist about extensions. My hair gets to a certain length and just stops growing. They are not in my budget right now, but someday….
It’s SO worth it, and I’m sure you’re going to love them once you decide on getting them.
Research is important with anything but it sounds especially important with extensions. I’ve never considered hair extension, the thought of my hair falling out in chunks well yikes! Gorgeous cat!
Definitely horrible, which is why I made sure to find a brand that will help take care of my hair. If you ever consider getting extensions, make sure it’s Tony Odisho extensions. 🙂
I have got to try out that shampoo! I always get build-up in my hair and so I think that a purifying shampoo would help me tons.
I’m sure it’s going to help a lot! It’s a great shampoo and it’s very useful.
I’ve never had extensions installed in my life because I don’t know much about them. When I came across this post, I was really interested with everything you had to say. Thanks for this informative post and for sharing a brand that you trust. I love how your hair looks after the extensions were put on.
You’re very much welcome! I’m glad to help out and give you all the information that you need. This brand is amazing and if you’re ever getting hair extensions, make sure to get this!
Those look so great on you! I’d love to try some out. The older I have gotten the thinner my hair is, and it just lays flat.
Thank you! These hair extensions are great! You should totally give it a try. It’s perfect for thin hair that needs a little more oomph.
I have never thought about doing extensions in my hair. I think it would be a fun way to go if you want a different look for a few weeks. This is a great way to explore what looks good on you and what does not. I might try doing these myself.
Yes, definitely! It’s a quick solution to styling your hair and it’s definitely fun!
My girls will love this information. I at their age right now it is all about appearance and killer hair!
That’s awesome! Extensions are really fun and they’re easy to install. I’m sure they’ll love it.
These look really great. I would have never known they were extensions if not for this post.
Thanks so much! It does look natural, which is why I love this brand of hair extensions.
I’ll have to show this to my daughter. I already have super thick hair AND my hair is already long. My daughter has long hair, but it’s thin. Your hair looks great with the extensions!
I’m sure she’ll appreciate it. It’s the perfect solution for thin hair especially if you want a little more volume! Thanks so much!
Talk about a good way to get thicker and longer hair without having to wait for it to grow. I think hair extensions are great so long as you’re getting the good brand which is exactly what Tony Odisho’s extensions are.
Exactly the point of getting an extension! Love that you can change your look easily too. Tony’s are really awesome!
I want to do this! I wish I didn’t live in another state. They look fab!
It’s really awesome. Tony Odisho’s hair extensions are available in different salons, you can head to their website to check out if your fave is included!
This is some really awesome advice. I would love thicker hair.
Thank you! Extensions are a great solution for that.
I will have to give some of this a try. I mean, it couldn’t hurt me!
It’s really awesome and I’m sure you’ll love how it’ll turn out.
I am looking for ways to add more bounce to my hair and tried various shampoos. These seem to be some effective measures to extend and add bounce and shine. Will check them out.
That’s definitely true. I’m glad that you’re picking up tips from my post! Love it.
Your extensions look so good on you. My grand daughter has been wanting some and I’m going to show her yours. She’s 10 and I don’t know if that is too young to get them?
Thank you so much. I think she’s going to love this and make sure that she chooses a safe brand like Tony Odisho. There are usually brands of extensions that’s specifically for the kids. I’d advice you to look into that as well since she’s 10.
I usually wear my hair pretty long but I just cut it short and I regret it! Maybe extensions can help out with some of that regret!
It’s definitely a quick fix while waiting for your hair to grow back. I’m sure you won’t regret this one.
