'White girl' weave/sew in tips? Advice??

Amelia 🇬🇧

Ok so I'm having the after pregnancy hair loss :( sad times. I sometimes wear clip in extensions but they can be a bit of a ball ache. Online I came across the technique of sewing a few tracks of hair extensions in and I like the thought of it! I see it sometimes being done on caucasian hair but there seems to be a lot of controversy on it due to the fact that, generally, the hair is thinner without texture and so it can be damaging? Or painful? I keep seeing very opposite opinions on it and I'm confused! Any hair dressers/experienced ladies have advice on this?? Or extension advice in general?
