Will extensions damage my already thin hair?

No, when applied correctly by experienced professionals, hair extensions will not damage thin hair. At FAKE, we specialise in gentle keratin bond extensions specifically designed for fine and delicate hair. Our ultra-lightweight bonds distribute weight evenly across your scalp, reducing stress on individual strands. We use smaller attachment points and strategic placement to ensure your natural hair remains healthy throughout the 12-week wear cycle.

How much hair do I need to have extensions fitted?

You need surprisingly little natural hair for professional extension fitting. As long as you have at least 3-4 inches of hair length and sufficient coverage to hide the attachment points, we can create beautiful results. During your consultation, we assess your hair density and coverage to determine the best approach. Even clients with significant thinning or postpartum hair loss can achieve amazing transformations with our gentle keratin bond method.

Can extensions help with postpartum hair loss?

Yes, hair extensions are an excellent solution for postpartum hair loss. Our keratin bond method is perfect for addressing temple recession, crown thinning, and overall volume loss that occurs after pregnancy. We understand the hormonal changes affecting your hair and use gentle, weight-distributed techniques that won't stress recovering follicles. Many new mothers find extensions restore their confidence while their natural hair regrows.

What method is best for very fine hair?

Keratin bond extensions are the best method for very fine hair. Unlike micro rings which can be too heavy, keratin bonds are ultra-lightweight and customisable to your exact hair density. The bonds are made from natural keratin protein (the same as your hair) and can be sized specifically for fine hair types. This method provides maximum volume with minimum stress on your delicate strands, making it our recommended choice for thin hair clients.

How many extensions will I need for thin hair?

The number of extensions needed depends on your current hair density and desired result. For fine hair clients, we typically use 80-120 individual keratin bond extensions for a full head, compared to 150+ for thicker hair. This lighter application prevents overwhelming your natural hair while still achieving dramatic volume and length increases. During your consultation, we create a custom plan based on your specific thinning pattern and goals.
