The technology used in making and applying hair weaves has grown in leaps and bounds over the years. Women with thinning hair can get hair weaves to cover up bald spots or give the illusion of thicker, fuller hair. There are several different types of hair weave to choose from from glue-in weaves to sew-in weaves or even lace-front hair wigs. Women have more options than ever before when choosing the weave type of their choice.

On the Other: Some Weaves Can Cause Hair Damage

When not applied carefully, some weaves can damage existing hair. The most harmful type of weave for thinning hair is the type that must be applied with bonding glue, as the glue can pull weaker hair out from the roots. All types of hair weave add stress to the hair and scalp, sometimes exacerbating the problem of thinning hair.

Bottom Line

Although hair weave does have its drawbacks when it comes to the health of the hair, women who are considered with their immediate appearance can benefit greatly from the use of weaves to give the illusion of fuller hair. Be sure that the stylist you have chosen is qualified and has a track record of success with the particular type of weave you have chosen.
