The next decision the stylist should make is how to attach extensions to hair. There are several ways, but adhesive-based fusion seems to be the best and most natural-looking. Some stylists use bonding, which is cheaper and faster, but the removal method is messy and time-consuming. A weave is exactly that - hair is braided into natural hair at the base of the scalp where it can't be seen. It's painful and creates tension in natural hair that can cause breakage. Metal and heat-shrink tubing are two other methods that are not recommended. It's important to get as much information from two or three stylists, including a written cost estimate and her methods, before committing to extensions. And that's the long and short of it.
