I have to disagree. Most people are not familiar with hair extensions.
I'm from Queens and also lived in Brooklyn for several years. I had
no idea that many black people wore weaves, none. I knew many black people in school and at work
and I really did not know until I told my friend she had great hair and she told me about tracks and weaves. Also, the
braids I always thought was their hair. Perhaps I sound ignorant but I grew
up with a large mix of people and had no clue it wasn't their hair. I wish
I had known because I would have gotten on the extensions bandwagon a long time ago.

I've seen the film and her hair IS amazingly long.

Oh for SURE a weave would have been MUCH faster..

I said no to wefts because of the way the hair is twisted in big bundles in the front from the center part down, the track would show beside it because of the part the twists would cause. So that left me with the strand techniques. I ruled out the links, tubes and rings because many stylist will not put them in some black girls hair because we usually wear a lot of oils and sheens because of dryness and hers often looks dry. So that left me with fusion. Oil won't cause them to slip, they have a freer flow to them and she can wear them coming toward her face or in a high ponytail which she has in some of the pics I've seen. And a lot of sites said she's wearing great lengths

ITA with your logic.. I too said no to wefts because of some of the styles she was wearing in those pictures which would be impossible to do with a full weave installation (which is what she would have had IF this was a  weave)

You can always hide behind a potted plant and take the stick from your Great Cookie and gently separate her hair while she's resting, drinking a Slushie

I think with celebs what very often happens is they get a role and the hair is done for them as part of makeup and wardrobe. They dont pay a red cent for it. (must be nice) So she may have gotten that do for Their Eyes and then left it in for a while. I probably would also if it was free hair and its not like she doesnt have the mula to keep it up if she wanted. It can take more than a year to do a film so extensions might actually be more cost effective then using wigs and also look better in close ups etc and more natural.
