With really short hair, I don't think you can conceal it will enough with any strand method, especially on thick hair that has that tendency to stick out. I would recommend a wefted method and go as high up and as far front on the head as possible to avoid the 'mullet' and 'hair hat' look. Good luck, it sounds like a tough job, even for a pro! ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

She won't look like a porcupine (you install the rings or links to lie
flat along the scalp), but you may be able to see the extensions roots
through her hair. I would also recommend a weft method- either
latex-bonded glue (a short-term one), microrings with weft, or
braided-and-sewn. I believe there are tutorials for all of them linked
in the Extensions 101 thread. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
