The best way to experiment with new hair styles without damaging your own hair is by wearing a weave.  A weave is the best way to play around with hair color, thickness, and hair length before making a commitment to a style. Whether your are applying hair extensions yourself or having a professional apply it for you, styling and cutting your hair weave is quite easy. Simply look at the style you want and present it to a hair styling professional who can achieve the look you want. If this is not an option for you, consider by a weave that is already styled to your desired look.
