Caring for Fine or Fragile Hair When Fitting

Some clients arrive with hair that is very fine or already fragile. Fitting extensions on it takes extra care.

Take less weight

Lighter pieces and shorter lengths put less strain on the natural hair. A careful fitter explains why.

Space the pieces out

Placing extensions further apart spreads the weight so no one area carries too much.

Check the scalp

Sore, flaking or irritated skin is a reason to pause and take advice, not to carry on.

Be honest about the limits

Sometimes the right answer is to wait. A fitter who says so builds more trust than one who says yes to everything.

Learn it properly

These are general ideas, not instructions. A teacher can show you on real examples. If you are looking at a Nottingham course, ask how fine hair is covered.
