I wear wigs that they sometimes call instant weaves. Could that be it? Basically its a wig with a comb in the front and the back. You leave a little hair out to cover the front. This is the link to my favorite style from my fav.brand, Sensationnel.

They show lots of styles.
In Houston, you can find them anywhere they sell wigs. I assume that's the same everywhere. Hope that helps.

You can make your own clip-on wig pieces. buy a weft of hair and throw hair glue on it, then paste it on some wig clips. much cheaper than Wendy.

To piggy back on Anky's suggestion, you can also sew it on the clip, it's cheap and easy. Go to the beauty supply and ask for the black clips, they are about $2.00, get a thin needle with black thread and sew the hair onto the clip.
Make sure that the front of the clip is facing the back side of the hair and the back (the part you clip in to your hair)is facing you when you sew it.

thank you so much ladies for the suggestions and info!!! Also an idea just came to me to sew in a wig...I think i will try that later this summer, basically by a wig cut out some parts and sew it on, I will wear this maybe a week at a time ...I will definitely try the combs..I have never hear of wig clips...

yep you sure can...I was going to make my cornrows going back though and kind of custom cut up the wig so I could have a part and that my scalp could breath easier...this way I could see my real hair more often then with a sewn in...I still may try the clips but they cost a Grip!!

Hey guys I found the wig clips -they are cool...u sew them onto the end of the track, they are a tiny comb and they snap on... but better yet....the lady at the hair place told me about sewing the tracks onto a hair net so it actually is somewhat "like" a wig...I will get it this weekend and then sew the net onto my own hair.... thanks for all of the tips ladies!!

OK, I'm loving this:
I've really been wanting to get a nice weave this summer, but still a little apprehensive becuase I like to wash my hair alot. This would be ideal for me ( a curlt style too), but the whole set is over $200.

Do the clips look like the ones on this page?

Oh wait, this place has them too. I'll have to print this out and take it with me to the BSS to show the clerk.

All winter, I wore a clip-in weave just to add highlights and change up the length when I wanted.
I make my own clip in hair pieces and this is how I do it. From your local beauty supply store, purchase the hair that's attached to a weft. As if you were going to sew a weave onto your hair, measure each weft for each part. Take the wigs clips and sew one on each end, and then by your own judgement sew additional pieces in the middle for security. Voila.....clip in hair pieces.
I love them because you can take them out when you get home, condition and treat your hair, they minimal stress on my hair and you can try different colors for the highlighted effect.
Good Luck.
