The best hairstyles for hiding clip in extensions in thin hair include loose waves, half-up styles, low ponytails, and braids. Loose waves add volume and texture, naturally camouflaging the extensions. Half-up styles can conceal the top layers of clips while leaving the rest of the hair down for a polished look.
For that extra boost that keeps your extensions incognito, reach for some dry shampoo or volumizing spray. These aren't just for your second-day hair blues; they're style savers for anyone rocking extensions in thin hair. Give a quick spritz at the roots and work it through to the tips.
Wash your extensions
If you haven't already done this, we suggest doing so. Many of our customers find that washing the hair makes it fluff up and expand, which makes the set look and feel thicker, which may help with how it blends in.
Tape-In Extensions
These extensions are incredibly lightweight and gentle on thin hair. They lie flat against your scalp, making them virtually undetectable with a natural look and feel. The application process is quick and easy, minimising stress on your natural hair.
Hairspray is honestly gonna be your best friend whenever you're trying to keep your hair in place its going to prevent the hair from moving out of the way as easily and exposing those extensions. Unfortunately there's not a lot of other great options.
While backcombing helps blend thin hair and extensions, you may want to try another technique: the root crimp. Get a mini crimper and use it to instantly lift the roots of your hair and add more texture to the area. This will help create even more grip for the Hair Extensions to hold onto.
Clip-in hair extensions is a semi-permanent extension method which is considered the best for those with thin hair. Strands are attached to your natural locks using small clips.

Hair extensions can cause hair loss, but usually only when installed incorrectly or if they weren't looked after. Proper installation and aftercare are key for minimising hair loss. But some types of extensions, like nano rings, are more likely to cause hair loss than others, such as micro rings.
Hair extensions, hair toppers, and wiglets are all amazing resources to disguise thin hair and instantly add amazing length and volume. For hair that is thinning at the top of the scalp, a hair topper can be a lifesaver as they are designed to target as conceal partial hair loss.
Blend the Extensions with Your Natural Hair
Whether you're using clip-ins or tape-ins, blending your natural hair with the extensions is key to making them look seamless. After applying your extensions, take a few minutes to blend them with your natural hair using your fingers or a brush.
Extensions with a seamless or lace weft design are ideal because they lay flat against the scalp, making them less detectable.
Micro-Link Hair Extensions, also known as micro-bead or micro-ring extensions, are another excellent option for achieving invisible hair extensions. This method involves attaching small wefts of hair to your natural hair using tiny metal rings or beads.
The Kardashians use high-quality hair extensions to achieve their iconic looks. Popular brands they use include Bellami Hair Extensions, Glam Seamless Extensions, and Hidden Crown Hair Extensions.
A hair weft is a bundle of extension hair that has been micro-sewn at the top into a very thin layer. Your stylist will securely sew the hair weft onto the row, instantly adding volume and length to your hair. Because the attachment point and the weft are both very thin, the extensions are completely invisible.
One of the major benefits of Micro and Mini Micro Rings is that they are virtually undetectable in any hair, including fine hair. Due to their small size, individual strands and careful placement, these extensions blend seamlessly into the natural hair for a flawless finish. They're even undetectable in updos!
Blunt bobs have to be one of our favorite hairdos since they look flattering on just about everyone. According to Friese, "Any cut with a blunt perimeter will create the illusion of thicker hair than a cut with more texturized or feathered ends.
Wefted Panel Extensions
It's also the fastest application process — usually less than one hour — and is often described as the most natural-looking hair extension option. Best of all, you can brush the hair daily from root to tip and style your hair as you normally would.
Grab a brush, and give it a light spray with hairspray. As you put your hair up, make sure your natural hair is covering your extensions. Brush them with the hairspray, as this will help to hold your natural hair in place, so those hair extensions stay hidden while you're out.
