The hair extensions come in strands as well as wefts. The wefts are extensions fixed together at the top and winding freely downwards. This makes them easy to fix on the existing by sewing. One only needs to braid the natural first then using thread and needle, sew the weave to the braids. This allows the natural locks to continue growing while still wearing the weave. Thus to avoid that shabby appearance, one needs to go to the salon for maintenance in order to sew the weave back closer to the scalp.
If one chooses to use the strand type of an extension, then know that there are limitations that go with it. First, it does not allow room for the existing hair to continue growing due to the methods used to fix it. To attach the strands one uses methods like chemical gluing, waxing, and heat fusing all that could be damaging to already existing hair. One parts natural locks and then applies bonding glue to the very close to the scalp. Then, he or she fixes the strands firmly to the existing curls into the desired look. This type of additional hair though cheaper may end up being more expensive at the end due to its delicate nature in maintenance. How to weave hair to the existing one depends on the kind of extension that one chooses.
