Oftentimes, people ask me if its "okay" to put something in their hair. My answer is always the same: if you like it, then wear it. Plastic tubing is the very essence of that statement, because there is no official tubing that is designed for specifically for extensions, and there is no right or wrong kind to use. If its plastic and its tubing and you like it, then by all means, stick it on your head. Just make sure it isn't too heavy, because that can hurt after a while ;) …
