Hair extensions - newbie

I have done both i-tip and tape in extensions.  I heavily preferred the tape ins.  I tips are uncomfortable, and if you have thick hair like me, you need 200+ of them, which is hard to hide on your scalp.  Tape ins lay nice and flat against your head and are way more comfortable.  Both are extremely high maintenance though.  Extensions get super tangly, no matter how nice the hair is that you get.  You will need to sleep with your hair either braided or wrapped up(I used one of those afro-style holders that kinda look like a satin bonnet).  With tape ins you cannot put conditioner near the bonds(which for me meant no co-washing, boo).  You can put your hair in a ponytail with tape ins, and possibly with i tips - but some bonds might show.  Your parting is very limited with extensions.  Not a bad thing if you usually part your hair the same way all the time, but I like to switch mine up.

Hope that helped!

It did, thanks so much!

If I were to buy i-tip hair extensions on eBay, i.e. I want them to be attached with microrings, am I supposed to look for something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pre-Bonded-100-Real-Natural-Stick-Tip-I-Tip-itip-Human-Hair-Extensions-/130770268825?pt=UK_Women_s_Wigs&var=&hash=item1e7283f299
The tips look really weird to me, I just wanna make sure I don't buy the U-tip ones

thanks once again!

Have you seen flip in extension's?  Sometimes known as halo extensions?  I really want some but don't have the money right now!
