Firstly, What's The Difference Between Thin And Fine Hair?
Thin hair often refers to the density of your hair - meaning that there are not many or a small amount of hairs on the head. You may be able to see the scalp through the hair and have more extreme areas of excessive thinning or hair loss. Thin hair can often be wispy and sparse on the ends.
Fine hair, on the other hand, refers to the texture and size of the actual hair strand. Fine hair has a smaller and thinner size than other hair types, it is also softer and weaker. It is easily damaged and cannot hold a lot of weight or chemical processing - meaning more care needs to be taken when using chemicals or hair extensions as the hair is weaker than strong, coarse thick hair.
What Type Of Hair Extensions Application Method Is Best For Thin or Fine Hair?
If you have fine hair and you are just wanting to thicken your hair up, it is not necessary to use a large amount of hair or a long length, you can get the effect you are after from only a small amount of hair extensions which in turn is kinder to your hair.
There are some heavy methods that are not suitable for thin/fine or damaged hair and can cause hair loss or breakage. Tape extensions are one of the most popular hair extension methods on the market for fine hair due to them being so quick and easy to apply, lightweight and virtually invisible as they lay flat to the head.
The biggest advantage of tapes is that as they are the lightest and least damaging type of permanent extension meaning they are suitable for all hair types from very fine or thin hair to thick hair.
