Skin weft for thinning hair? Opinions?

Ok I have a friend who wants me to do extensions on her, the problem is
that her hair is thinning on the top (She was sick a few years ago, it fell
out and never grew back) It is strong and she isn't losing it anymore, but
it's very fine and thin at the top. Its not to the point that it really looks as
though she's going bald but its certainly thin enough that I wouldnt be
able to go very far up without the extensions showing. She doesn't really
want to go with a closer, but I was thinking perhaps a skin weft might
work well?
What do you guys think? I have never seen one in person so I don't know
how invisible they really are. Also, I've read all the threads on here about
them but it seems we've never really reached a conclusion on where is a
good place to get them from where the quality is decent.
Anyway, I'm hoping someone who has experience with them might be
able to jump in and tell me if they think the skin weft would be less
visible under thinning hair than a regular weft.
Also, did anyone ever test out that product called Couvre? Perhaps she
could use something like that to help cover the joins after we do the
install as well.
Any opinions or insight would be most welcome!

Would your friend be willing to wear a top peice? Something that's the size of your hand and has a transparant weft with clips? I've seen these on many people and they're completely undectable. I've even seen people wearing them in the wind and you totally don't see anything. Some people wear that and then a weft or two.

That's a tricky situation.....
Well, all I can say is that if I were her I would want something
to cover it. Not everyone knows how to go about getting hair and she knows that you can help.

The top peices they make look good. I know it's like vudoo to wear a "tupee" but it so NOT a tupee at all.

I got my weft from this place that also sells the top peices. They're supposed to last at least two years. The lady in these pictures is wearing a top peice.
and two wefts (all clip-ins)

The model got her pre-made peices from here.
This is where I got my clip-in weft.

I'm not promoting this company, it's just the only one that I know of that has it. I'm sure you can find them elsewhere. Anyway, I'm really happy with the one weft that goes from ear to ear with four clips. With that said, next time I'll make my own since it's less $$

Hi Dune!

In my experience with skin wefts or seamless for thin hair, I would not recommend.  I don't know what degree of thinning your friend is, but it sounds like it's a concern, so therefore I ask you to consider Invisible hair skin graft or any hair grafting system.  The hair piece top, someone metioned works fine too since it attaches to both hair and scalp.

The reason why skin wefts or seamless is not a good solution for thin hair is b/c the glue/bond used is super strong which adds stress to the thin, fragile natural growing hair, which when used long term, will rip out the fragile hair.  Also the section is much wider than fusion thin-type extensions.  The best advice I can tell you is to look at the hair section density taken.  If the natural hair density covers enough of the seamless/skin weft, then you can extend that section. 

This even ratio is for many hair extensions used in the market today.  The ratio of natural hair to the ratio of extened hair must equal to support weight.  Think of constructing a tall skyscraper.  Just imagine having a thin stick supporting a wide building...

Best of luck!

thanks for your feedback ladies! Malibu its certainly an option worth
investigating... I know what *i* would do!

Cyber, I don't really know if it's thin enough to be considered too fragile. Do
you think I could pm you a link to a picture so you can tell me what you
think?

Thanks Cyber :)
