I’ve decided to buy real human hair clip ins from beauty works until my hair is long again. My issue is the color. Currently my hair is light brown, if I order light brown extensions, can I tone them or is that very damaging ? The extensions are quite expensive so I don’t want to risk it. Or I tone my natural hair and get darker extensions. But then I definitely can’t lighten them.

What do I do?
I have attached pics of me currently. One light brown one dark. This is my natural hair. I’ve never worn extensions. I just cut it short couple days ago and I can’t cope with it.

Please help. My hair is currently light brown, slightly ginger due to me being blonde before. I really like it, it makes my face look very soft. I love dark brown as well, because it makes me look paler which I like. I just can’t decide

I have very thick hair. When I say thick, I mean THICK. I bleached it blonde for a year and it did not break or become thin once. I have very good hair genes. Despite that, my hair of course was damaged,naturally, from all the bleach and heat I used over the years. I have very long hair and decided after 6 years to trim my ends. This hair dresser cuts off almost 9 inch.
Anyway, I have not been the same. I don’t feel like myself and I’ve been crying non stop. My long hair was a part of me and i honestly don’t feel beautiful anymore.

Now my question is, what are the best hair extensions for people with thick hair? I never thought in my life I would ever have to wear extensions. I have no clue about them. I am also assuming I need at least 280g put in as I have so much hair. Maybe with my type of hair, it’s not even possible. I would appreciate any help. Yes I’m dramatic but i genuinely feel like I lost a part of me lol. I will attach some pics of my hair before and after. Last two pics are of my hair currently.
Even tho I know it’s still considered “long” it’s nowhere near as long as it was before.
