I've been considering hair extensions for a few years, but I'm worried about what my family will think?

I've been trying to grow out my hair for a few years, and it just won't grow. It used to be really long, but it was really damaged, so I ended up cutting it all off. I take really good care of it now and it's really healthy, but it's only two or three inches past my shoulders. Th weird thing is, my layers are constantly needing to be trimmed because they grow out so fast, but the rest of it stays the same.

I've done a lot of research and have found good quality extensions for a decent price, but I can't get myself to buy them. Back when I first cut my hair off, I wanted extensions, and my grandma (who used to do hair like 20 years ago) gave me **** about it and was just outright rude. My sister-in-law is even more judgmental, and my brother can be a little cynical sometimes. And, I don't know, I'm just self-conscious about it. Suddenly going from short hair to long hair. I don't usually give a **** what people think, but for some reason this is bothering me. I'm having a hard time really describing why I feel weird about it. I guess because it's just so dramatic, and it isn't like it's very common with most working class people, especially at my age.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get over being self-conscious about it, or about anything else?

Some people judge just to have something to turn their nose up to and some ppl are jealous. Some ppl are just plain weird. There is nothing wrong with hair extensions

Wellll you have to compliement yourself, you must tell yourself things maybe you dont even believe, because if you dont believe you are confident and have good qualities nobody else will!!
Nexxt, wear clothes that make you FEEL confident and good about yourself...basicly ddress to express yourself!!
Dont be rude to your parents about the hair extensions, BUT talk to them about it and telll them this is how you want to look, and express yourself! Personally i think even if your hair isnt that long, you should ALWAYS love you for you! BUT i dont agree with your family, u should be able to express yourself through how you look and how you carry yourself! If your family doesnt like it well then OH WELL!!!! Express yourself and eventually everyone will see your showing off who your are...which is another way of saying you WILL have CONFIDENCE!!!!!
