Boring question, sorry! lol - I have fine straight hair that reaches about 2" below my collarbone. I like having extensions that are are about 3" longer than that but I want to basically keep the look of having fine hair, just slightly thicker, and not again (I've had 3 sessions of extensions) have the thick, full head of hair-look.

With my first experience, the extensionist put 4 tracks on my small(!) head  and I hated it! It felt totally fake and wiggy. Since then I have had 3 and then 2 tracks. I may be the only woman around who doesn't want big hair, but I'm wondering if I could get away with just one track of long hair? (I'm only interested in sewn in ext.s). I think I remember being told I would need another track to cover the other, but now that I think about it, that doesn't really make any sense.

Thanks for any feedback!

hard to say without seeing your hair, essentially though if you put the one track in the right place it would just look like you had layered hair

Normally, I slice my machine wefts in half and make very tiney braids. I have a couple of clients who have fine hair, and it works out fine.

Thanks for the great advice!  The tracks I have right now are super-thick and kind of stick out like speed bumps under my hair. There's no way these puppies can be hidden completely if it's a windy day, but I guess I'm a little addicted to the look of long hair and I like that weaves take far less time than the other methods. I think I will need to shop around for another extensionist in my area who knows how to make a thinner track, but the one I have now otherwise is great.

Thanks again!

I'll check it out - thanks! I've never heard of it before.

using Protac and a little Liquid Gold:i use one double weft for my bottom row, a tripe weft above that and a single weft higher up, a couple on each side and thats it.....i totally understand what you mean about having "too much" hair in. my real hair is so thin and fine up top that its just obviously fake if i add too much thickness with extensions so i only use a little less than a pack (4oz) for each install

we are sooooooooo hard to please......not enough hair so i need extensions, too much hair, it has to be just right for us *Goldilocks

LOL - so true about being hard to please! I am definitely going to find out more on this technique as it sounds good.
