Hi Everyone,

I have really enjoyed reading the forums the last few days and learned alot!

Due to a medical condition I lost and thinned quite a bit of hair mostly on the top and a little on the sides.  My Dr's. believe that the loss has stopped and some hair may regrow but they don't really know for sure what will regrow.

I am thinking of trying some small amount of extensions on the top for added fullness and would love opinions.  I realize they are just opinions.

The three I have really looked at are prohair, microlinks, shrinkies.  Any thoughts or ideas out there?  Thank  you all so much in advance!

Hi,

There is a lot of great "method" info now archived on the Hair Extensions Archives. All of the regulars here have done a great job of sharing and Jenny put together a great summery (thanks Jenny)  Please check out:

This should help you a lot with questions and answers.

Thank you so much----- I have read that and it is fantastic.  As usual I didn't do a very good job of posting my question!  I was looking more in the direction of anyone maybe with medical hair loss or extreme thinning to see if anyone recommended one method over another in that case.

Thank you again,  I appreciate the direction.

Hi Lizzie,

Generally speaking, extensions can't be placed on top of the head because you need to have a decent amount of hair to cover the extension attachement site.

Now, that said, there is a new method that I will be soon offering where the company claims you can fill in thin spots with the extension because you can do invisible, single (and yes I mean 1 strand) strand extensions in thinning area.

It's called Extend Magic, and we have discussed this before on this message board.  My Extend Magic tool is in transit to me as we speak all the way from Korea, and I should receive it any day now.

When I get it, I'm going to use my hubby as a guinea pig and see if we can fill in his balding areas.  If it works as the company claims it to work, then it will totally blow away every other extension method on the market.

Please let me know,  I really need some help up top!

Thank you!

I just checked my tracking number for the Extend Magic, and it looks like it might be delivered tomorrow!

I'll keep you posted!

I got the Extend Magic today, it's waiting for me at the post office!

Charlene got hers yesterday, and was playing around with it a little.  So far she impressed with it.  Hopefully she'll pop up and tell you what she thinks!
