Attaching extensions on shorter hair

I am asking you ladies to help me decide what may be right for me as extensions go. First of all I am menopausal due to a medical condition and my hair has thinned alot in the last few years. On top of that I had a bad color job done that broke off and so  my hair is only about 2-3 inches long from the part or crown and I have been trying to grow it out since March. It is taking forever as it just does not grow very fast anymore.....so I want extensions. As I said my hair is naturally thin but getting thinner as i get older. Im 47. It is also pretty fine. So I want something that would last as long as possible without damaging my natural hair any further so that it will grow out. I am not so worried about length as i am about fullness and volume. I am very insecure about this hair issue and have totally missed out on a beautiful summer here in Texas because of it. Oh and any recommendations for  Houston area salons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any advice!!

There are other options along w/ clip ins...
I had thin damaged hair from bleaching and used Liquid Gold adhesive with wefted hair and it was a-okay.

It wasn't 2-3 inches short, but I did see a picture of someone, who was from the forum, who did a beautiful install with super short thin hair...I wish I could remember who it was...

There are other options, I think a skin weft may be, don't know MUCH about those, but the others here could inform you :)
