Well, "Sassiest Princess", that's a good question. One con that jumps out at me is the huge "tacky factor". Because hair extensions are very tacky. I am unaware of any pros. Have a nice day!

use some volumizing shampoo, blow dry it full, and go to a salon every now and then to add volume. I wouldn't get a weave!!

Hair weaves can be very expensive, if you get a professional one. You can get a weave sewn in or glued in. If sewn too tight it can pull your hair out, but sewn last a lot longer. If glued in it is easier to come out, but a lot cheaper. Ask your hair stylist about the differences or get on the net and do some research. Good luck!

if your hairdresser knows anything about cutting hair, i'm sure she/he can give you exactly what your looking for without getting fake hair. ask them to cut your hair in a way that will make it much thicker, volumous, and fuller. if they can't do that, either your hair just can't appear thicker, or you should find a new hairdresser. good luck :)

Weaves are not very tacky when done properly.

I think that girl needs to stop watching VH1.

I have clip in extentions.

You can get them at a local wig shop.

They're amazing.

You just clip them in (you have to play with it first to find out where they look best) and you're ready to go.

No hair damage!

They can be straightened, washed, curled, and dyed to match your exact hair color.

They come in a variety of colors so you just pick the one closest to yours.

A small set should do you which costs $100.

A larger set is $200.

It's what a lot of celebrities are using :]

The pros on this are are reletively few unless you have this done by someone who has perfected this process over years of working with weaves. That fact alone will make the process more costly than if you chose someone with little experience. I am not an advocate of weaves because of the cons and there are far too many, in my opinion. First off, most weaves are overdone and most people cannot carry the abundance of hair they find themselves with. There is also a fair amount of damage that is done to your hair through the process. This comes from pulling your hair as taught as possible in order to get the other hair woven in smoothly. Depending on the type of knot they use, the strain on the scalp is enormous and your hair can begin to fall out, especially around the hairline areas. Weaving also dictates that you return to the salon every 2 weeks or so to have the weave tightened because of the new growth of your hair. Again, more strain on the scalp and hours of sitting in the chair, depending on how much is done.

Unless you have extraordinarily thin hair, I would recommend extensions rather than a full weave. This process is not as damaging to your own hair. You will still have to go back about once a month, depending on how you wear your hair. Remember that hair doesn't all grow at the same time. Your hair falls out daily and begins new growth daily. That is why one needs to have their hair cut about once every 4-6 weeks. If one doesn't do that, they will then find their hair much harder to manage and style on a daily basis. You will need a haircut no matter which procedure you choose so that really is a wash (no pun intended!).

Whatever you choose to do make certain you see actual photo's of their clients first. People who do great work are proud of the end result and have many photo's to prove it. You may also ask to come in and watch a weave or tightening be done. If they balk at that request, run fast and go elsewhere!
