Best hair extensions for thin hair
There are a range of hair extensions that are suitable for thin hair and will allow you to add length & volume with a seamless blend and no damage caused. Discover our favourite extension methods for thin hair.
Tape-in extensions
Tape extensions are a popular method for thin and fine hair types as they discreetly integrate into the hairline, with the extension being placed directly onto the root of the hair. Tape extensions are also extremely lightweight, resulting in zero damage to your natural locks.
Tape-in extensions we recommend
We recommend both our Slimline Tape Extensions and Invisi Tape Extensions for thin hair types as both methods feature a lightweight and discreet design.
Micro Ring hair extensions
Micro Ring Hair Extensions are applied to the hair using tiny, undetectable bonds making this method ideal for those with thin and fine hair types. Due to the size of the extension bond, they cause no strain on the natural hair and therefore no damage.
Micro Ring hair extensions we recommend
The Nanobond® Extension method is ideal for thin hair types as it is our smallest professional extension method available, making the extensions virtually undetectable.
Pre-bonded Extensions
Pre-bonded extensions are applied to the hair using tiny, undetectable clear bonds that are very popular for those with thin hair. The extensions are applied using a heat connector and fused onto the hair to create a secure bond which makes pre-bonded extensions comfortable to wear, and feel incredibly natural.
Pre-bonded hair extensions we recommend
Celebrity Choice® Flat Tips are a great option for those with thin or fine hair. Flat Tip extensions are fused to your natural hair with Keratin, making this method extremely durable yet gentle on the hair.
Clip-in Extensions
Clip-in Extensions are perfect for anyone with thin or fine hair, looking to enhance their hair on occasions. Clip-in extensions can easily be added in and out of the hair for an instant upgrade,
Clip-in hair extensions we recommend
When choosing clip-in hair extensions for thin hair, it’s important to choose a clip-in set that has a similar weight of hair compared to your natural hair, for the most seamless results. We recommend our Deluxe Clip-in Extensions and our Ponytail Clip-in Extensions for thin hair types.
Which extensions should be avoided with thin hair?
Generally, the only extension method that should be avoided for thin and fine hair types is Weft Hair Extensions as these are designed to offer full and thick results, meaning that the extensions can weigh more and therefore are slightly thicker so may be visible on thinner hair types.
For a seamless blend, opt for 100% Remy human hair extensions as these are made out of the highest grade of human hair, resulting in the most natural and discreet blend. Synthetic hair extensions have a coarse, wiry look and feel, so they will contrast more with your natural hair.
Maintaining your extensions: aftercare tips
Aftercare is key to maintaining your hair extensions. As hair extensions don’t have a direct supply of nutrients, they require a little more maintenance than your natural hair. We only recommend using Beauty Works Haircare on your hair extensions, as it has been specifically designed by industry experts for hair extensions.
The lifespan of your hair extensions will depend on the aftercare and maintenance. With the correct maintenance, Clip-in Extensions can last up to 12 months and Professional Extensions can last up to 6-12 months depending on the method.
Out top tips for maintaining your extensions are:
- Regularly brushing your extensions with a Boar Bristle Brush
- Drying your extensions properly after washing your hair
- Always using heat protection before styling your extensions with a heated tool
It’s important to find the most suitable hair extensions for your hair type if you have thin or fine hair. To find the best hair extension method for you, we always recommend booking a consultation with your nearest Beauty Works certified salon. For some hair’spo, check out our Instagram.
