Continuing to share my hair journey, I started with clip ins and then went to tape ins. You can read my first blog post here comparing the two. I now have Natural Beaded Rows by Karen the hair QUEEN. If you are in the area you need to see her for cut, color or her forte extensions. Best part is she is offering my followers 15% off their first service! Click to see how all three hair extensions stack up. Comparing clip ins and then went to tape ins and Natural Beaded Rows.
