I would go with protac to grow hair out and stay away from the glues.

Protac I think is one of the most gentle method, especially if you hair is naturally very thin, as mine.
Clip ins are also not damaging for most girls, but they are not permanent.
Liquid Gold I cannot say, I haven't experienced myself.
Good luck!

I have heard of the fasttrak method...a long time ago. If I remeber correctly its a tape/weft method that is sandwiched into the hair...similar to what the protac/weft method is.
 
Please correct me if I am wrong

There are pros and cons to ALL methods of installs.. The bottomline for any method is that if the extensions are installed incorrectly and maintained improperly, damage to your own hair will ocurr.. (caveat: there are a few install implements that are generally accepted as being across the board damaging, polywax and black latex glue for example)

One size does not fit all when it comes to extensions.. The BEST method depends on the style you want to achieve, how much you're willing to pay, and how much time are you willing to put into maintaining your hair and extensions afterwards..

There's LOTS of information on this forum.. My suggestion is to do your homework on all the various methods out there, and get to know the search feature..
