clip in wefts are a good way to go if you don't mind putting them in and out yourself on a daily basis.  I do this every day, and I can get 4 rows in and looking nice in about 10 minutes.

I like shrink links too.

I did the same thing as you only with bonding glue. It took the top of my hair out. I looked like Bozo the clown. I must have cried for days on end. And I didn't know what to do. I thought about using the Regrowth stuff but heard from others that it took their hair out. So now I am just shampooing and deep conditioning my hair with Doo Grow and using their Root Simulator at night. I perm it every 10 weeks and trim it every 4 weeks.  I must say it has grown back some (took me 6 months), but like you its very thin. If I pull it straight back you can't tell, but if I side part it, Bingo....you can tell. So right now to keep myself calm, I am now wearing a human hair wig during the week and my own hair on the weekend, I just tie a bandana scraf across the top and the rest of my hair down. Sometimes I flip it up. I think I have every color of the rainbow Nobody knows the different but me.  Good luck.
