Hi all!

Newbie to the board and soon to be moving to Thailand.

I cant tell you how great it is to discover this site AND a female section!..woohoo! (er anyway..im done gushing..*slaps self*..)

Looking for some advice pls..

I had reallllllly long curly hair, but after a terrible permanent straightening job in Argentina 18months ago (that slowely turned my hair into straw) I had all the straighted part cut out. Going to be having curly hair extensions put in soon as i miss the length and curls and want to stop straightening my hair so my nat curly hair to grow back healthy (fickle, i know!).

Well..heres the thing..

Is there any decent salon that can refit/replace my extensions every three months until im happy with my length again? Obviously dont want a hack job, and will pay what i have to pay(eek) in order to have them done correctly without damage to my hair. Also need someone who knows how to handle curly hair (im half italian with mad curls, if my hair is too short it just gets HUGE! Like scarey huge!! ).

I read that that salons seem to be a bit hit and miss with western hair so is my request a major long shot?

Appreciate any advice.

Ty! x

p.s. Intially I will be in Chiang Mai, but willing to travel every three months to the best place.

I can't advise on salons in Chiang Mai, loads of salons everywhere though. But I can sympathise with hair getting huge. Ever since I have moved here, I have to use loads of anti-frizz products and even then it only works for a few hours, so I wear a ponytail most of the time.

I went back to Canada for a short visit last April and my hair instantly lost its frizz, but then I got off the plane in Bangkok and like a sponge my hair just frizzed-up.

You could try calling the one desi is raving about in the other hair thread (near the embassies) and see if they can recommend anywhere. Sounds like they are the real deal so if they can't do it maybe they know someone who can
