Hair Extensions for Damaged Hair NYC

Can you get hair extensions if your hair is damaged?

Breakage from bleaching, relaxers, poorly applied chemical treatments or heat styling can leave your hair uneven, thin at the ends and hard to style. If you are looking for hair extensions for damaged hair, the good news is that damaged hair does not always mean giving up length and volume. Whether extensions are the right choice depends on how much healthy hair you have at the root, because that is where the extensions are attached.

At Luxe Aura Hair in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, every appointment starts with a consultation. Our specialists check the strength, density and condition of your natural hair before recommending a method. If your hair is very fragile, we may suggest strengthening it first with a treatment such as an Olaplex Treatment, or a lighter installation that protects your natural hair while it recovers.

What hair extensions are best for damaged hair?

Natural Beaded Wefts Extensions are one of our most recommended options for damaged hair. The wefts are sewn onto small beaded rows with no glue, no heat and no braids, and the weight is spread evenly across each row, which makes this a gentle choice for hair that has been chemically damaged. Tape-In Extensions are also a great option, as they are lightweight, lie flat against the head and blend easily with uneven or broken ends.

K-Tip Extensions can work well when the hair near the root is still healthy and strong, because the small keratin bonds attach to tiny sections of hair for a discreet result. For clients who want to give heavily damaged hair a complete break from heat and styling, Traditional Sew-In Weaves are another option, as your natural hair is braided down and protected underneath. The right hair extensions for damaged hair depend on your hair's condition, density and the result you want.

What hair extensions are bad for damaged hair?

We generally advise against wearing clip-in extensions every day on damaged hair, because the clips grip already weak strands and can lead to more breakage over time. If extensions are too heavy or attached too tightly, they can pull on the roots and potentially contribute to traction alopecia. When choosing extensions for damaged hair, it is important to choose a lightweight option and the right amount of hair for your natural density.

Microlink Extensions may be a good option for some clients with damaged hair, however only limited volume can be added if the hair is very fragile, so the links do not show or place extra stress on the hair.
