Hair Help- Thicker Hair With Extensions?

JCWhitey

I have pretty thin hair but I really want to do a half up-do for my wedding.  I was thinking of doing extensions for volume, not length purposes.

I've never had extensions before so I was just wondering what the experts on this board would recommend I do.  We are getting married while on a cruise.  The ship leaves on Sunday and the cruise is Tuesday.  I do plan to swim in the ship's pools the day before the ceremony and also soak in the hot tub.  Also the latest I'd be able to get extensions put in if I go that route would be the Friday before we leave (so about 5 days before the actual wedding).

With all that in mind, are extensions do-able/advisable for my situation?  Would clip-ons or another method work better?  Or do any of the thin-haired ladies have any up-do suggestions without extensions?

Extensions last quite a while, at minimum a few weeks for crappy extensions. They'll make your hair much thicker as well.

Do clip-ins! A good stylist will be able to show you how to put them in, maybe take a girlfriend with you, or youtube some videos. They're super easy, you can curl them the night before. Then you don't have to worry about the damage fusions or euro-locks do, as well as you don't need to worry about them in the pool.

Thanks ladies!  I'll look into the clip ins first!
