If you do the extensions which is very expensive to begin with because you would want to get one that is human hair. If you are going to do this, you want it to look right and good.

You glue to your scalp or at the root of your hair. The glue has been known to cause breakage to the natural hair so be careful with it. Also, wearing the tracks in your hair is nerve racking. You have to worry about it sliding off or a track is showing. You have to constantly check it when there are other things to do and think about.

Get a weave cap where your hair is showing in the front and you just comb/blend your hair into the weave cap part that is covering 3/4 of your hair. Very convenient and alot of times you cannot tell.

If you do the weave cap make sure you pick one that matches your hair so it will blend and look nice. This is safe and fun and you can get a couple of styles and change up.

Take someone with you to help you to get the right one. The people in the beauty supply will know how to help you also. I used to wear these until I decided to go natural and wear my hair locked.

good luck and this helps you!!

It depends on how you want to style your hair. Using glue can be very tricky. It's best if you get someone to help you to make sure that the glued tracks are being applied to your scalp and not your hair. If the glue gets on your hair, you can pull the hair out when trying to remove it. It's not a hard process at all, I just wouldn't advise that you attempt this on your own unless you have eyes in the back of your head :)

It's very difficult to guide you without knowing how you wear your hair. For example, I have done this wearing my hair straight back, and my goal was to add length. I sectioned about a 1/4 of an inch of my natural hair beginning at the nape of my hair line. You measure the weave from left to right of the row that you just sectioned off before cutting to make sure it is the right size and will blend properly. The fit is very important if you want it to blend properly. After cutting the proper size, you add a minimal amount of glue on to the track of the weave. Be careful not to apply to much glue that will spread onto your hair when apply to the scalp. All you will need is a thin layer going all the way across. Press the track on to the scalp of the hair beginning from left to right or side to side, making sure that your hand is pressing firmly at your beginning point and slide across to the other side of your hair. Once the track is secured down on the scalp with the glue, spray "Pump it up" styling spritz on top of the track (not the hair) and blow it dry with a hand held dryer for about 10 seconds. This will allow the glue to adhere properly and prevent slippage. Do not apply any oil to the hair before adding the extensions. This will cause slippage. Part another section of your hair and repeat this process up the front of your hair, or until you get the desired result you are looking for. Make sure to leave the hair out in the front to cover your tracks. Also, buying the proper hair is another issue. It is ok to ask for help in helping you select the correct type of hair to blend in.

Good luck!
