Congratulations Erica! =)

Are you planning on growing your hair until October or will you be maintaining its length until then? How short is your hair exactly?

I have never personally used Bellami hair, but I am currently looking for some hair extensions/solutions for shorter hair, myself. I recently went from silver to brown and for some reason, my hair did not like that and chunks of it fell out during the process... so here I am looking for human hair extensions that look okay in those areas of my head where I only have very short pieces of hair.

I find clip ins very noticeable in my shorter areas (around my face mostly). I even got my extensions cut into my hair from 14" to about 10" or less, but I really have to work on styling half up half down hair styles and pinning down my shorter pieces of hair (about 2-4" in length), for my hair to look uniform in length and like "real hair."

After doing research on extensions and trying to find a happy medium with my current extensions over the past couple of weeks, I think I may now be in the market for a "hair topper" made of human hair. Its essentially the parting portion of a lace wig that is clipped on top of your hair at the crown. It seems to allow you to hide the shorter pieces of hair on top of you hair, and also allows you to add more clip ins or the addition of clip ins further up in your hair, since this will cascade over it and hide any clips. Reading what I wrote, this all sounds confusing, but I can't think of another way to explain it, sorry! I hope attaching a picture will help illustrate the use of a hair topper and how it may aid ladies like us with short hair, in making clip in extensions look more natural.

I know this didn't answer your question about Bellami extensions, but hopefully I have given you an option that may help with the success of blending long extensions into your short hair =)

Myhair is Brett short.you shaved my head a cpl winters ago and it is growing out now.I plan on letting it grow til it's long again. I don't have any trouble hiding the tracks as my hair is rlythick and its about four inches long...I just keep layering them until I get to where I would wear a headband and cover the top layer with that. my problem is finding them thick enough! my hair is so thick and most extensions are so thin and scragly lol.

Hiding the hair is half the battle, so that is great news! I have quite fine hair (a lot of it in density, but still very fine in texture) and I still ALWAYS purchase 2 sets of extensions, 1 just never cuts it...even for someone with fine hair like me. It already sounds like you do that, since you said you just keeping clipping a bunch in until you reach the headband line. I know some places sell hair extensions by weight and they'll make recommendations based on your hair density, hair thickness, and the look you're trying to achieve (length vs volume). I haven't personally purchased any hair extensions that way (and I'm not sure if Bellami sells hair that way), but ordering hair by weight may be something you will definitely want to do. Some "tricks" I've heard of, is making your own extensions, by purchasing plain wefts/tracks of hair and clips and sewing them yourself. That way, you can essentially double or triple the amount of hair you sew onto one set of clips. You can also do this by clipping extensions to one another. SO basically, for thick hair, I would recommend buying hair by weight and/or clipping/sewing extensions to one another to "bulk" them up on top of wearing multiple sets
Hope some of that helps, sorry I can't recommend any specific brands though =(

Erica, I've been eyeballing ballami also...they look pretty thick. these extensions are double drawn so that means thick from root to end. I think that in your situation with your hair being so short, Bellami would be a good choice for you.

My only question is should I get one set of the 260g which is very thick or two sets of the 120g

Two sets of 120 would be a lot of tracks. that would be 14 wefts on your head...that's a ton! they just can out with 240gr ones, I would go with those.
