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. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

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

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! |

| 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. http://www.boogiemama.com/album/thumbnails.php?album=1 - http://www.boogiemama.com/album/thumbnails.php?album=1      |

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? :) |
