How long does it take to put in clip-in extensions, assuming you have a full set of them?

I make my own clip-ins too....much easier & cheaper & I'm too lazy to go to a salon to put extensions in. It's like $30-40 for super long (real) hair & $3 for each pack of clips.
I have red, black & blonde (sometimes I dye the blonde ones with spray color cause I'm cool like that)...I don't wear them that often cause I'm super lazy & never do anything to my hair, but when I do I get tons of compliments.
Here's me w/ my blonde ones (I clipped them into my hair & cut them to the appropriate length)....

In addition to the question in my previous post, how do you store them when you're not wearing them?

I had Weave-in Human Hair 18 inch Extensions in a Level 4 color (dark brunette),
They cost 150 dollars for the hair, and 80 to get woven in. The weaving feels tight on your scalp, but after a while you get very used to it. I had them re-woven about 4 weeks later because they were coming loose, and they start to itch when they grow out.
I recently bought Raquel Welch 18 inch clip-in extensions for 300 dollars. I have yet to use them, but have high hopes for them!
I decided to get the clips ins the second time around because I have VERRYYY thick hair, and really only use them on special occasions when I have the time to style ALL that hair! I'll post a pic of the weave in extensions later, they look very natural.
Try them out! I missed them so much when I didn't have them, they are a lot of fun. I got a ton of compliments on mine.

I'm fairly in touch with Alternative hair stylists as I do extension work myself but they also do regular extension work as well. If you like I can get a list of UK girlies who will do it. And I've I can't find them then all my contacts most certainly will.
To the original poster - You didn't mention pinch braiding or the two different types of pre tipped bulk you get (stick tips/nail tips). Other than that I thought it was great info for first timers.
To people in general - If you want to learn about how different extension methods are done or you want to have an experiment then I suggest looking here http://www.doctoredlocks.com/store/demo/tutorials.html . This site is a goldmine of information. There is also a forum dedicated to hair extensions around. If anyone wants, I'll try and dig up the link.

Im wearing clip ins (real human hair) in my display pic... I love them! I wouldnt suggest getting the Jessica Simpson synthetic hair.... you cant wash and restyle them so you can really only wear them a few times before they get ratty. Spend the extra hundred dollars or so and get real hair, you can wash and style just like your own hair! To store clip ins you should have them hanging up somewhere so they dont get tangled and wrecked. I hang mine on my bathroom wall when im not wearing them, it looks funny but keeps them from getting wrecked. Mine take about half an hour to put in (I dont do it often because im lazy) and they cost $200 CAN.

I'm getting human hair clip ins! Only getting them because I change my mind too much... right now I have a "pob" still but it's growing. Getting them for AUS $300, hope they aren't too much trouble to clip in... Do you wear yours everyday or for just special occasions?

kimb...If the conditioner ever doesn't work, you can get bond remover at Sally's for under 3$. Also, if your hair seems to be too oily you can try washing with kitchen dish soap to strip your hair of the oil (but I wouldn't really recommend doing it a lot because it probably strips your natural oils as well)
I have glued in extensions in right now. They are the only option I've tried as I have thin hair and don't feel like dealing with clips. Also, my hair is probably too thin to have them braided in because the braids would show at the top. Boo. Does anyone have any suggestions for really good glue that is CLEAR? I tried "liquid gold" this last time as it isn't colored (I'm a blonde, so) and it hasn't even held them in for a week - yuck! Usually I use a white glue (not visible but it annoys me once I take the extensions out) from Sally's which works great...had them in for like 2-3 months before with up keep.
