Let's look into the solutions accordingly!
For covering a bad haircut,
As the following chat of hair.com shows, please identify your hair length firstly.
If your hair is very short-shorter than chin length, we do not recommend you wear hair extensions. This is because it is difficult to cover the joint of the extensions, and the hair extensions will slipper easily.
If your hair is longer than chin length, and you want to get hair length instantly, in this case, it is utterly perfect for extensions! All you need to consider is finding a qualified hairstylist to do your hair.

Damaged hair needs the commitment of being nurtured back to good condition.
If your hair is overly processed, it might be easy to break and thus can not support the weight of the extensions. Or it can be not in good condition due to too little care, and your hair might get too messy or tangled.
Take your time by letting it grow out and getting it back to health. You want to start getting your hair back on track, so the fine weft is excellent for damaged hair because it just gives you that it's a bit of extra volume so that it still looks like your hair but the healthiest motion of your hair.
The hair spa can be perfect for that because it allows your head to grow normally without any external pressure or damage from the extension. It's the best option to have your hair start to grow with vibrancy and be looked after. Putting treatments in the hair helps you hide that it's a bit damaged for a while.
How to get hair extensions without damage
The blow-drying, dying, curling, and other processes to the hair might cause all damage to the hair to some extent. Just make sure you do it properly without too much heat or chemicals.
Only extensions that aren't invasive are an excellent choice. Hand-tied extensions are the best. So the weft is ideal in that sense where you can wear it whenever you go out, and you can leave your hair tied off in some treatment for most of the week. In addition, it blends in your hair so well. It won't give too much weight or pull your natural hair. Read about this in detail by reading this post: Does hair extension damage your hair?
