partial extensions

well i work at a salon and the girls here are planning to do my hair as if im going to have braid extensionss except only braid approx 2 inches of hair at the top and leave the rest normal so i can curl it or leave it or whatever...anyways one girl wants to do just some extensions along the bottom area int he back and the other thinks we should put them staggered throught out(just braided in of course) just wondering what everyone thinks..i think just the back will look kinda funny cuz ill have all long just in one place...but then with it staggered ill have a short one here anda long one here....just some thoughts on how it would look/ what would look better?

I saw your post on the general hair board.Maybe you should consider clip ins.You said you needed something easy  and not so time consuming.Clip ins are great for that.It takes serioulsy like two minutes to put them in.And if you want them curly you can put them in curlers while you sleep(off your head of course).Clip them in the next morning and look like you spent an hour going your hair.I have tried shrinkies.I'm not on a time crunch but hate spending alot of time on my hair in the morning.And I've found clip ins take very little to make look nice.

If you're going short to long, I would recommend using as much hair (as many braids) as possible. :)
