Thinner are better. The thicker your extension, the clumpier the join.

i say do the thinner extentions because i have naturally thin hair and i tried the thick extensions once... they didn't work out for me. use this thinner ones, they look more natural.

If you are asking what kind of damage it does to your scalp, there is no difference! If you have a healthy scalp, you have healthy hair. If you glue extensions onto your scalp, you are impeding the natural growth of your hair. You are doing this by clogging up the follicles with the glue for the extensions, or tracks! This will lead to excessively oily hair.

the thinner it is the more fake it looks,

but the thicker it is, the nastier the glue clumps

but if you're getting it done at a salon, i'm sure it won't look as bad they wither use karaton (sp?) or the braid it in

my extensions are karaton and they are fabulouse they are thick, but it isn't so clumped up in the back,

here's a picture of it

i used about 60-80 strands

edit:

my mom's a hair dresser %26amp; she did it for me as a testing of a new extension product, so she used less hair strands for me

so go and buy a little more so about 100 - 120?

It just all depends on your real hair. Is it thick, thin, straight, wavy, curly? Depending on your hair color, you might have to darken it with a semi permanent color to get it to match. Curly hair is easier to match because it is less noticeable. I don't recommend the glue on types because they can damage your hair and break it off. If you know someone who can cornrow hair, you are better off. This is when they make small braids across the back of your head and sew the pieces on. This type is much better. As for your question I would try thin first and then go a layer more if you think it will look better. You can try this with a clip until you get the right thickness. Also make sure you get 100% human hair. Cutical hair is best as it is selected and treated so that the cutical goes in one direction.Synthetic hair is very cheap but looks like a shredded plastic bag. Anyway, here are two websites that are decent priced. I am not a hairdresser, but I wore extensions for 7 years. The first time I went to a salon. After that I did them at home myself with the glue (big mistake). The next times I had my daughter do the braided ones for me (good choice). Also, they sell hair by the bushel and for a whole head you may need two. I use to just get one bushel and it was enough. Also you might want to try the clip on hair pieces too.
