Extensions for thinning hair
Thinning hair can wear extensions, but the rules change. The goal is coverage without adding stress to hair that is already fragile.
Start with the cause
Postpartum shedding, stress, hormonal change, thyroid issues and genetic thinning all look similar but behave differently. If you are losing more hair than usual, see a dermatologist or trichologist before adding extensions. Your specialist can then plan around what is happening.
