Keep Them Guessing...
This is a little bit of information on how to keep them guessing. Not a tutorial or how to ( coming soon ), just stating the bare facts of how to keep them guessing when wearing a full or partial weave.
It can be bonded ( glued ) in, sew in, fusion, weft, clips, beads etc., there are so many ways to apply the extensions. But please....what ever way you choose, make sure you keep them guessing. The worse thing to have is a weave that looks like a weave. Especially a weave that look likes a wig. If it looks like a wig and you like it..just go ahead and buy a wig and stop wasting your time and money on a personalized weave that looks like it was made in a factory!
But anyway......

The journey begins in the almighty hair/beauty supply store. Where you have a million and one styles, lengths, and brands to choose from. You also have people that never laid a track in there life telling you whats the best brand for you. This why you need to always either ask a professional before you go or just take one with you. The price does not always make the hair, but it does play a big part. But your hair does not have to cost $100.00 or more to look good. Always do your research. Do not say 'okay' to everything they say in the store. Remember they are out to make a profit not to make sure your hair looks good. They will sell you anything if the price is right!
Once you have found your brand, length, and color you are on your way to a great weave. There are some speed bumps that can turn your great weave into a perfect disaster.
1. Quality / Texture
2. Style
3. Length / Fullness or Lack of
4. Color
5. Application
6. Maintenance

Quality / Texture
DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS !!!!
You want your weave to either look like your texture or better than your texture. You do not want to go in the opposite direction towards worse. This happens when the hair is not matched properly. When this occurs, you can tell the difference between your hair and the weave which is a no no! We want it to either blend or look so natural that people are guessing if it is yours or not. You must press or relax your natural hair so it can match the texture of the weave or completely put it away. Putting it away meaning, braid it up, put it under a cap or a bond protective shield. ( more info on this coming soon ).
VIRGIN HAIR
The Virgin Hair has exploded on the scene. And now you can find it anywhere. Even party promoters are selling Brazilian Hair with V.I.P. tickets.. smh! But just like packaged store brought hair you must do your research. And no that Pure Virgin Hair will not come to your door pre dyed. So if you see platinum blonde Brazilian Hair... Don't believe the hype! Virgin hair is just that VIRGIN. No chemicals, No plastic, No man made fibers!

STYLE
DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS !!!
The style is another big factor in keeping them guessing. If the track is showing you have loss before you even got started. If the whole style just looks artificial i.e. the lace front ( more info coming soon ) head on collision with the fake train. If the hair is so heavy that it looks like it is about to swallow your head.....you should of stopped about ten tracks ago!

DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS !!!
Okay if your weave is too thin or too thick it can totally ruin your look. It becomes wiggish..we do not want that. If the weave is too thin it will leave room for all of your business to show meaning your tracks or whatever method you use to apply the extensions, If it is too full it will consume you and just look a mess. Too full will not move....too thin will move to much either way its a mess.

COLOR
DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS !!!!
Now do not get me wrong..... I love color especially in a weave. This allows you the opportunity to try different looks without damaging your own hair. We just have to be careful.... this is where color, style, and quality comes together. All of these parts have to come together to pull of the overall look.

APPLICATION
TECHNIQUE
DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS !!!
There are many ways to apply extensions. Just make sure your stylist knows what he or she is doing. You do not want to be the test dummy. You also want to take into consideration the thickness/thinness of your own hair because all applications are not suitable for everyone. If you choose to do the invisible part, 3D hairline, lace front closure, PLEASE know what you are getting yourself into...
