Hey guys! I need some help figuring out what method to use.

I was in a hair show recently and now my hair is very short with very short layers at the top of my head, compared to the layers on the bottom.

Here's a pic, but I now have it colored bleach blonde pretty much.

 

Anyway, if you can suggest what will work best with these short layers, and how I would go about achieving long hair, i'd really appreciate it!

I'm famillar with haircandy.net so I plan on ordering the supplies from Kristin.

 

Thanks!

Heather

Hmmm. I think, for such short hair, a weft method would be best. Either glued-in with a cold glue (like Liquid Gold, not a fusion glue), or sewn in with a track done by cornrowing or using extentubes/microrings.

This was a customer i done that had realy short hair similar to yours.  She decided on the bohyme.  It is straighy however we put a lovely wave through it with ghd's.

EDITED to say.....It was fusion method i used

Hey Heather...I agree with Rae. If you want a stand by strand, you'll at least have to use a track(or two) in the crown. Otherwise you'll get a "She-mullet"

I gotta say I Love that cut though!

Wow, that looks beautiful, Shel.

Heather--I love that cut on you, but if you want to go long, ditto what everyone said. :)

Yes, Heather - your hair is adorable as is! We can understand about wanting to go long, however. But your short do is darling, and the color is pretty as well - kind of a strawberry thing!

YOu could do single extensions. A weft might make it look "flappy".
I did this yesterday, turned out great.
The large size are on my website if you want to see.

I love your work Boogiemama.  Ditto the comments on the haircut.  That haircut is cute as a bugs ear. 

    As far as the She-Mullet goes.  I think it's kind of in fashion these days.

Bridget...You're my hero

The she mullet will never be "in" unless it is intentional. It makes me insane to see bad extension cases!

Hi guys!

Syren - I used 6oz bohyme silky stright col 27/613 and used ghd's which is an awsome pair of straighteners here in the uk and gave them a slight wave.  The pics aren't too good as i had to dull and minimize them to get the 15mb alowed for uploading.

Boogiemama - Yours are truley stunning! And the blending is awsome! Also what brand of hair did you use?

Bridget, your install is so beautiful, as usual. The sections are so small and undectable. How many heat-seals do you do for a head like the one pictured above? :)
