- the type of hair that you use
- the technique (fusion, sewn in, glued/bonded); some techniques may look and feel more "real" even though they are not as healthy for the hair
- how long the weave has been in (the longer the weave has been in the fake hair tends to matte, get frizzy, etc.)

Thanks Onlychild. What is a fusion weave (I was told those are expensive). Isnt glue/bonded bad for the hair? How long should weaved hair be kept in? I want mines for May and June and maybe July if that is possible. I want something different and fun

A fusion weave is basically when the hair extensions are put in strand by strand. Little pieces of extensions are glued directly to the hair strand with a glue gun/compressor thingie (don't know the name of it). A lot of celebrities sport this style. It can cost anywhere from $800 to over $2000. It is not healthy for the hair. When you take it out, you end up losing a lot of your own hair. There is a thread that discusses the dangers of a specific type of fusion weave called Great Lengths Extensions.

You are right, glued/bonded is bad for the hair.
I have kept a weave in for two months without any adverse side effects.
