Well, the clip ins were just for day use. They're not too hard to put in after you've done it a few times. I could do my hair like that in less than half an hour. I had real human hair so I could curl them, straighten them, wash them. I even dyed them. They lasted me a good year and for 4 big clip in pieces of 100% human hair was $130

The ones I'm getting (first time) are kind of braided Into your hair. If you get good hair, and go get them tightened, they can stay in for a long time. It's expensive though. The lady who is going to be doin mine is giving me a deal because she had already bought the hair and couldn't find a match. So it's going to be $325
