hey!!! i've decided to get a full weave. the salon i'm using offers two techniques: bonding and sewn-in. can anyone suggest which method is better and best for my hair? my hair is not damaged...hangs just at the bottom of my neck...and very thick. however, i just want to try something different! you know what i mean?! i welcome any advice and/or information anyone may have to offer! i'm leaning toward getting the sewn-in method...i understand that that is when my hair is braided and then the "new" hair is sewn into the braids...is this correct? help! ;-)
thanks in advance!

Hi joli,
>>can anyone suggest which method is better and best for my hair?
I'm not a hair stylist at all, but I'd suggest you read a bit farther below my post entitled "Direct Comparisons" in the hair extensions thread. I really don't think there is a definitive answer. I'd been looking into extensions for a very long time and simply had to draw my own conclusions. Obviously, anything you do to your hair "affects" it. I finally drew the conclusion that using the least invasive method without chemicals was best for me. I've never used a bonding method at all, so I can't make a direct comparison, but I wear pinch braids and am very happy with them.

From what I've read, this certainly sounds right to me. However, I would find out **for sure** from your salon! I'd tell them you are considering hair extensions and would like to see them put in someone's hair. Ask when the next appointment is that they'll be attaching extensions and then go in and watch them do it. That way, there will be no question as to how it's done! And then, ask every conceivable question you can, ie
1) How often can I wash my hair?
2) Should conditioner be applied only to the ends of the hair or to the area where the extensions are attached?
3) How often should they be re-attached?
4) Is there any activity which should be avoided while wearing my extensions (ie swimming in chlorinated pools, etc)
I had dozens and dozens of questions, but think about what is important to you, and then ask away!
Good luck,
Jennifer
