I have much experience with hair weaves. Thishereboi is correct in that your roots will still show. Since you say you have long hair, why in the world would you want a weave unless it is to make it appear thicker?
There are a few different techniques to attaching extension hair.
- As mentioned there is glue...messy, gunky and requires some skill and techinique
- Sewing - longer lasting, more secure, painful depending on techique, if you get tired of it, you have wasted your time and money
- There are clips you can sew onto the track so that your extension hair can be taken out daily, you can do this yourself.
- There is Tap Hair. This is done by taking a special track that has a heatable hair glue on the track, you cut it to the width you want and wrap it around a portion of your hair, then take a flat iron or curling iron and melt the glue. This is generally more for the fun and funky crowd....
- I have heard of a new technique where they actually braid extension hair into your hair and it gives the appearance of being your naturally grown hair.
You can also get a weave where your real hair doesn't show, but from what I have seen of those types of weaves, they are tacky. You never know though. you might find a stylist that is really good. Make sure they have pictures and references.
As for where to get it done well, I would say go to a hair salon that specializes in braiding and weaving. Look on the internet in your area...use search words like Weaving, Braiding, Jamaican hair etc.
Be Blessed in your search.
