Thin hair: what can you do about it?
Thin or fine hair is very common. Some people naturally have less or finer hair, while others notice that their hair becomes thinner over time.
You cannot always change the natural thickness of your hair. However, you can care for your hair as healthily as possible and create instant volume, length, or coverage with temporary hair solutions.
Why does hair become thinner?
The thickness and amount of your hair are largely determined by genetics. In addition, various factors can affect the condition and fullness of your hair.
- Heredity: thin or fine hair is often found in families.
- Stress or illness: physical or emotional stress can temporarily cause more hair loss.
- Hormonal changes: for example after pregnancy, during menopause, or due to thyroid problems.
- Nutrition and medication: deficiencies or certain medications can affect hair growth.
- Hair breakage: excessive heat, chemical treatments, or rough brushing can cause hair to break.
Do you notice sudden or severe hair loss? Then it is wise to contact your GP. Extensions can add volume, but they do not solve the cause of hair loss.
Can you make thin hair thicker?
You cannot easily change the thickness of an individual hair. Good care can help reduce hair breakage and make the hair look healthier.
Do you want instantly visible more volume? Then you can choose a temporary solution such as a Volumizer, Clip-in Set, V-Part, or Topper. Which product is suitable depends on where you need volume or coverage.
Which solution suits your hair?
Only more volume
Choose a Volumizer when your own hair is already approximately the desired length, but your ends could look fuller.
More volume and length
Choose a complete Clip-in Set when you want to visibly lengthen the hair and create more volume at the same time.
More volume on top
Choose a V-Part when you mainly want volume on top and still have enough of your own hair around your parting.
Coverage at the parting
Choose a Topper when your hair is thinner around the crown or parting and you want to cover this area.
Volumizer for fuller hair
A Volumizer is one wide clip-in track that you place at the back of your head. The product is designed to make your own hair look fuller.
Because one track is not enough to blend a large length difference, you choose a Volumizer in a length that matches your own hair as closely as possible.
A Volumizer is suitable when:
- your own hair is already fairly long;
- you mainly want fuller ends;
- you want more volume in a ponytail or updo;
- you want to complement a Flip-in or V-Part.
Do you have very short, thick, or straight-cut hair? Then one Volumizer is usually not enough to create a natural transition.

A complete Clip-in Set consists of multiple tracks of different widths. You distribute them over the back of the head and the sides, which evenly supplements the hair.
A complete set is suitable when you want not only more volume, but also a visible extension of the hair.
30 cm for natural volume
A 30 cm set is especially suitable when your hair is approximately shoulder-length and you want a fuller result without a major extension.
40 cm for a natural extension
A 40 cm set falls approximately to the chest for many people. This length provides a visible, yet still natural extension.
50 cm for extra length and volume
Do you want a clearly longer look? Then a 50 cm set is a good choice. For thick, short, or full hair, a heavier set is often needed to blend the transition beautifully.
When do you choose a 7- or 8-track set?
The right amount of hair depends on the thickness, length, and cut of your own hair.
- 7-track set: usually suitable for thin to normal hair with layers and a soft baseline.
- 8-track set: better suited for thick, short, or straight-cut hair that needs more hair to blend the transition.
The 8-track set contains an extra-wide Volumizer. This is placed at the back of the head and provides extra volume where it is usually needed most.
Do you have very fine hair and mainly want a natural extension? Then more hair is not always better. A set that is too heavy can be more difficult to hide.

V-Part
A V-Part is a hairpiece with a V-shaped opening. You pull a section of your own hair through this opening, allowing your own parting and roots to remain visible.
The V-Part is suitable when:
- you want more volume on top;
- you want to wear fewer loose tracks;
- you still have enough of your own hair to distribute over the opening.
A V-Part primarily provides volume. Do you also want to lengthen? Then combine it with a Volumizer, Flip-in, or Clip-in Set.

A Topper covers a larger part of the crown and parting. This makes it more suitable when your hair is thinning on top or you want to camouflage a wider parting or thinner area.
The Topper is suitable when:
- you need coverage on the crown;
- your parting is clearly visible or wider;
- your hair is thinner on top than in the lengths.
The hair is knotted into the frame by hand, making the roots look natural. You can style the human hair together with your own hair.

Frequently asked questions about extensions for thin hair
Are clip-in extensions suitable for thin hair?
Yes, but the set must suit the amount of your own hair. For very fine hair, a lighter set is often easier to hide and more comfortable to wear.
Do clip-in extensions damage your own hair?
With correct and temporary use, clip-ins do not need to damage your own hair. Do not place them in exactly the same spot every time, do not sleep with them in, and remove them carefully by fully opening the clips first.
Which length looks the most natural?
The smaller the difference between your own length and the extensions, the easier the transition usually blends. For volume only, choose a length that matches your own hair.
Can I test the color first?
Yes. With a color sample, you can compare different colors with your own hair at home.
Still unsure about the best solution?
The right choice depends on the length, thickness, and cut of your own hair, and the area where you need volume or coverage.
Send us clear photos of your loose hair in natural daylight. Preferably, take a photo of:
- 1. The back: so we can assess the length and baseline.
- 2. Both sides: so we can see how much of your own hair you have to cover the clips.
- 3. The top and parting: when you are considering a V-Part or Topper.
This way, we can better assess which product, length, and amount of hair will suit you best.
