well first i'd like to thank you for pursuing your hair question/advice in me!
okay so first many black women get weaves as a way to fit in to a mainstream image of women (long and straight hair)
the two types of weaves i know are glue and sew in
sewing weave which is the best for your hair because it will actually make your hair grow and doesn't damage it at all. You braid your hair down then instead of gluing the tracks you sew it onto the braids. You can't feel anything although it sounds like it hurt (sewing it) you don't even know what's going on.
glue extension consist of putting glue in the weave track and onto your scalp. A lot of people don't like that method b/c it will most likely damage your hair if used too often.
you can get a full head weave or half head, if you get half it will cost less but you may have to get a realaxer also, which may cost more. and full head is probably equal to half head and a relaxer.
the final results will look spectacular. Make sure you get someone who knows how to do it otherwise it can look very bumpy. also they take a while so you may want to put one day away just for it. it last a while more than a couple of months. and one note on the glue weave it make have a nasty smell if you don't take care of it which is a minus, on that list.
me personally i haven't gotten a weave before, but have done it myself and have watched first hand of a full head weave get put in. once you find a style you like it is prefect. and it doesn't matter if you cut your natural hair alot cause you can always put a weave in which saves so much time and effort you may have each day on your hair.
i know this was alot to read but i hope it has cleared some questions up and helped you.
im looking into getting one :] for length im looking up styles so just give me a holla and ill give you some links if you decide to get it done and want something to show to the stylist :]
