What is the hair goal for Thin/Fine hair？

Extensions are important for thin hair to make the volume fuller. For thin/fine hair, extensions need to be having the minimum to no damage to the natural hair. It is important to consider how much weight, stress and tension is placed on your natural hair by the hair extensions. For fine or thin hair, you should look for the lightest density for hair extensions.

Hand-tied wefts are the thinnest wefts that are used available to use on hair types, especially thin or fine hair, due to the ultra- thin weft design. The hand-tied weft is a super flat weft that can be used to sew in for instant transformation, this method is 100% non-damaging, and the weft is strong and durable to reuse many times.

“Hand-tied extensions” is a type of extension attaching a weft or “curtain” of hair to one’s natural hair. First, the stylist will create a foundation of silicone beads on the client’s natural hair. Then, the stylist will sew the hand-tied wefts onto the beaded foundation, securely attaching the hand-tied weft to the natural hair. Weft hair extensions are sewn into your natural hair which is braided to cover your whole head and the wefts of hair are sewn into the braided rows. Those with thin hair usually do not have enough hair to make the small braid to hold the hair extension.

The wefts are hand-sewn which creates a strong, thin weft when compared to other methods of application. They are flat, flexible, and lay close to the clients’ scalp giving a more natural look without feeling bulky. Additionally, this makes them more comfortable to wear and touch. They resemble the final look of tape-in extensions and consist of a full, blunt perimeter; never stringy or sparse.

There is no glue, heat, or tape involved. Hairlaya's hand-tiedare 100% Remy human hair. They can be washed, dyed, straightened, and curled with heating tools.

The initial application takes between 2 to 3 hours to apply a full head of hand-tied weft extensions. And you can have it moved up every 6 weeks, which takes less than 1 hour.

Tape-in hair extensions lays flatter than other types of extensions, therefore it’s the least noticeable and because the wefts are wide sections. It doesn’t give you that spaghetti hair or making you uncomfortable against the pillow when sleeping, like the bonds or the beads do. Also, you can easily pull your hair into a ponytail or bun with the tape-in.

Tape-in is commonly regarded as one of the best extensions for thin hair. Applied by a stylist, two hair wefts are taped to your natural hair in a sandwich style. This method is easier and less costly than hand-tied. A medical grade tape is used at the tape, containing no harmful chemicals, sticking on hair while easy to remove when being uninstalled. The process is carried out simply and quickly, with lightweight tape sections. Tape-ins are perfect for thin hair, as no strain or pulling will occur. There also doesn’t need to be a large amount of existing hair to carry out this technique, making it ideal.

The finished hair extensions lay completely flat against the head, creating a very natural look, and they do not need to be re-fitted for up to 6 weeks.

Hairlaya‘s tape-in extensions can be reused even after uninstalled and will last for up to 2 years. Everyone who tried tape-in said it is a great investment to boost your look.

For thin/fine hair, what extensions need to avoid?

Clip-in hair extensions are temporary extensions with the option to take them out as often as you prefer. With this type of extension, it usually does not hold well in thin hair due to the weight of the clips, as the weight of each weft is really heavy and they tend to slide out, especially if you want them for everyday wear! Further damage could be caused by the clips putting strain on the thin hair causing hair loss. If you want full hair every day, clips are not the best option which causes while putting strain on your scalp or when taking it off since you do it every day.

Fusion hair extensions have keratin bonding on the ends and ultrasonic waves soften the keratin to bond during application. These types of hair extensions are rather costly and the installation process is lengthy. The removal process is tricky and can pull out more hair in the long run. The fusion method pulls out more hair and does not hold well one fine hair! Not a good option for women with thin hair. Also the process involves heating which could hurt your hair and the chemical involved could be harmful. You get plenty of results if yousearch forphotos of this fusion hair extension gone wrong.

Micro links hair extensions are applied strand by strand to your hair with a special tool to attach each hair extension to your natural hair. The links are similar to a screw which can damage your hair shaft when clamped together. The weight of each strand tugs and pulls and will ruin your hair in the long run. While removing pieces of links that are stuck to your hair, some of your hair will come out with it.

On an endnote, all Hairlaya's hair extensions are all ethically sourced and are the best natural human hair on the market with cuticles aligned. That means that each strand is in the same direction, from root to tip, like shingles on a roof. Why is this important? In comparison, to get each strand aligned, other brands group the hairs, regardless of which direction they are going, cut the hair so it is the same thickness on the top and the bottom and then chemically treated with acid to strip the cuticle and create a smooth bundle of hair, regardless of the original direction, getting extensions easy to break and last so much shorter than Hairlaya's.
