Hair weave/extension help?

I have a couple questions about this.



First off, I hope this doesn't come off as racist, but are hair weaves just for black people? I want 22" extensions and hair weaves seem to come in wefts, so I was thinking about getting them and glueing it in. Is that a good idea?



These are the ones I was looking at:

Also, how many weaves do you think I would need for a full set?



Do you see any better extensions on that site? I don't want clip-in because it would be too big of a hassle to put in all the time.



Lastly, what extensions are the best? I have shouldlength hair that I'm pretty bored with. :P



Thanks so much for your time %26amp; help. :D

I will try to give you as much help as I can, when I wore them, I was the weave queen (lol). First thing, yes, anyone can get a weave, black or not.



I do not know if you are doing them yourself, but no, I would not suggest you glue your tracks in. Because, even going to a specialist, glueing in extensions can cause lots of damage to your real hair. But if you just want something temporary, or you just don't have the time/money/desire for any other method, I would suggest you going ahead with the glue-in route. It's somewhat tedious though, having someone help you would be a good idea. But so you know, with glue-in extensions, it's not possible to have a "full head"; meaning, some of your real hair will be exposed which is known as a "partial weave."



Examples of partial weaves: http://www.reniece.com/EZ-PhotoAlbum/Par... ***good site, you can peek around if you want***



Examples of "full head" weaves: http://www.reniece.com/EZ-PhotoAlbum/Ful...



As for how many weaves for a full set...do you mean how much hair for a full head ? You will have to determine that yourself, depending how thick you want your hair to look. But 9 times out of 10, 2 packs of hair should be enough, depending on the brand and type of hair you purchase.



I have also looked at your link, and I'm sorry, I am not familiar with the hair on that site. I think it may be because I am not in the U.K. Is that where you are? Excuse my ignorance if not. I would suggest maybe going to a salon or calling a salon, and asking about the best type of hair available to your area. Myself, I prefer human hair, and as for the brand, I used to switch around.



If you would not mind buying your hair online, you can go to this site. They offer a lot of different styles, textures, and lengths, all in different brands. You can also search by these options too. Just put in the length, or texture, or etc. Or just browse around. Another thing (lol-sorry), the pro to buying online is that there are many options for you to choose from, but if you want extra, like many different colors, or like you, extra long length, the price goes way up. Anyway, the site: http://www.hairsisters.com/ver2/Shopping...

No hair weaves are not just for black people. Matter of fact me and a classmate was talking about her extensions today. Some come in wefts and some can just come in rows. I think you should go in fo a consultation with a stylist that specializes in hair weaving. You might not want a full st maybe just some layering in the back so it looks pretty natural. I really hope this helps a little.

Weaves are for everyone, of any race. But I wouldn't recommend them for anyone.
