Can you safely attach hair extensions to thinning hair?

An expert stylist can safely attach hair extensions to thinning hair using the taping technique. However, the extensions can cause hair to thin further and much faster.

Hair extensions attach natural or imitation hair to the existing hair using several different methods. Popular methods for attaching hair extensions include weaving, taping, gluing and clipping the extensions on. Each of these methods can cause damage to existing hair such as thinning and even balding. In some cases, the balding may become permanent. Anyone considering getting hair extensions should speak with an expert stylist before adding the extensions, especially if thin hair is an issue.
