need help ASAP extensions

hey, today im going to sallys to buy hair extensions.. i am doing them myself. i only want a temporary look so i am just going to be gluing them in.. now i need tips.. what should i buy..
i have short light ash beige blonde.. very layered.. do you think that by putting extensions in i will be able to cover them up neatly enough? and what do i do.. should i put them in the middle of my head and on the sides or should i put them near my nape. im nervous cause ive never done this before. but i dont want to goto a salon. thats not what my post is about. i want to learn how to do them myself. . and i know im capable of doing them cause ive been doing hair for awhile.. its just im nervous.. and i want to mix some colors.. but im not sure what colors? like some bright colors.. maybe a black or a red? or pink? how many bonds should i buy also?

thank you soo much. i have very short hair also.. so how many bonds do you think i should buy? of weft?

I have been using bonded in wefts for a while now and I find them fun, easy to apply and very easy to remove. I find using a gum based glue the best method, it is less messy than liquid gold and is easily removed with hot water and conditioner. I cant remember the name exactly but I buy mine from afro hair supply shops, it comes in either white or black and is in a squeezy bottle (also has a red lid/nozzle), those afro shops also sell really cheap wefts of hair on tracks so I would thoroughly recommend it.

hope that helps

I could be off-base here, but if you're just looking for something temporary and to see what you'd look like with long hair, are glued extensions really the best way to go? (I'm not very knowlegable about glue, so I'm sure the others will weigh in....) :)

That's cool, then.

Good luck, and keep us posted! :)

Oops, sherrie and I were typing at the same tme. :)

Also, weft comes in bundles, which is one long width and you cut it to the amount you need. You'll need one or two bundles.

Oh, one more thing I want to mention. If you only plan on having these in temporary....dont use liquid gold bonding glue. Its strong glue. And it doesnt come out easily after a week or two. When I use LG and my sandwiching technique it holds for 5 weeks at least. Once the LG bond starts to deteriorate and weaken then its pretty easily removed, but if you try getting them out sooner its more difficult. I just had wefts in temporarily for 2 weeks and removed them today....and had forgotten just how strong that bond is at two weeks!

oh yeah if you plan on leaving them in then the liquid gold is good and strong and will last. Its a harder bond than latex and just shouldnt be used for temporary (like a week or two). Yes you can reuse wefts if you can get all the glue residue out of the weft, which is difficult! But unless you spend quite a bit of money on the hair it usually dont last long enough and you probably wouldnt want to reuse them. What you will probably find at Sallys or most of your local beauty supply stores will be lower quality hair and probably just latex glue (which I hate) but it works for temporary purposes!

hmmmm well that depends. If your going to a local beauty supply store they probaly have cheap wefts that start around $25 for human hair and around $15 for synthetic hair. I have purchased a few brands of human hair that will hold up for 4/5 weeks will lots of TLC for around $50 but then you probably wouldnt want to reuse them they wont be that good.

okay ! well i just bought my weft at sallys and i am ready to put them in.. but the weft is so long so the hiar sections are going to be thin.. so should i start at my nape and layer it up as i go up? like section by section?
