Can aonyone recomenned me some good Kanekalon Fiber Hair Extensions?

So instead of going the Wig Route ive just decided to use Extensions for now instead >.>

Sadly ive read that most Plastic Wigs are unable to be showered and washed and such unless a Special Shampoo was being used >.>
Which is bad considering itd wanna use it and attach it like my Regular Hair and just shower my Head with the Extensions as a whole :P

This was 5 Minutes ago showering as well as applying conditioner >.>
and it looks beyond frickin horrible as you can see so i may just shave it all off :(

I use for Reference a Bond Protein Repair Condinioer from OGX and then also a L'ORÉAL PARiS ELVITAL Fiber Booster Shampoo :P

Here are links incase curious :P

Is my Hair even remotely saveable?

So i currently so far only used a 3 in 1 Shampoo and just took really Crap care of my Hair in General due to my Mental Issues :(

And ive been thinking of maybe trying to Dye my Hair Blue and try to recreate this WIg with my own Hair as closely as Possible >.>

I doubt my Hair is dense enough for it tho :(
I will probably next Month when i have Money again buy myself Conditinor and all that other Crap you need to fix my Hair as best as Possible :(

EDIT: Its mostly the Front Hair ill probably have trouble with as my Back Hair goes quite down halfway at my Back :P

New haircut

Just a layered conventional haircut, asked for shorter layers and it bounced back.

This is coarse textured average density, I consider the curl type textbook 2c, and the color is henna.

Side view - easier to see here why I think it's wavy more than curly, the back is curlier but on both sides looser like this, and even at this length it flows down rather than up.

Really happy with this cut - this is the end of the day after work and workout and still holding up.

This got interesting

I like how she shows the process but her routine looks whack. How is it even getting dry all squashed in a bun and why not scrunch with the shirt after getting out of the shower?

I'm not making a video ever but what works for my (coarse, low porosity and very slow drying) 2c (mix of waves and curls) hair is:

Wash with gentle shampoo not conditioner.

Condition and rinse it out

Comb styling cream through very wet hair, first parted and down as though I am styling it straight, then upside down to loosen it from the scalp (it remembers the part) then scrunch in curl activator styling foam. This establishes definition.

Scrunch with microfiber towel and then wrap my hair in it, more like a plop than a twist, so it's out of my way while I get ready.

When I let it down, it looks great, defined and curly. But I know my hair (and ride a bike to work) it needs more hold. I put gel in by rubbing it between my palms and gently clapping my hands in my hair then gently scrunching. Then a few minutes with the diffuser, either pushing the hair up or just pointing it at my head (depending on what it seems to need) I don't have time to get it all the way dry.

Honestly it looks ok at work but So Good in the evening when I do this in the morning. Like it takes all day to get all the way dry. First it's like drowned rat, then seems stretched out, then eventually finds its way back to curly.

Heat styling and health of people and the world.

First the yoga pants - I was so upset to find out they shed microplastics when laundered. Now heat styling & heat protectant.

They say the main culprit is cyclopentasiloxane, so if it's just silicones and high heat I think most curly stylists avoid those, but I'm sure we all sometimes get a blowout or flat ironing, and lots of people do that every day.
