How Filler Hair Extensions Can Help With Thinning Hair & Simplify Summer Styling

Taped hair extensions are the summer hair hack you didn’t know you needed and we’re not gate-keeping. Whether you’re working with naturally fine hair, experiencing thinning or just looking for a summer hair refresh, below we’ll unlock the secret to achieving longer-lasting, low maintenance styles, full of volume.

But first, if you’re new to the concept of taped extensions, here’s the important things to know: at Peter Mark we work with The London Hair Lab to provide high-quality human hair with superior blends in order to achieve the most seamless colour-match for our clients.

If you’ve gotten this far, you’re probably curious to know how these extensions can work for you. And take it from us, they work hard!

Volume & density: One of our favourite hair hacks is creating amazing volume changes in our clients’ hair, from total transformations, to subtle changes the possibilities are endless.

The most popular extensions service booked in our salons is the Filler Extensions service, this allows you to add volume and density to your hair using only a small but tailored amount of taped extensions in comparison to larger services like the Half Head or Full Head service.

Adding colour: If you’re looking to add subtle lightness to your colour this summer without the commitment of bleaching, look no further. Our extensions specialists can guide you through a colour-matching consultation and find the best shade mixes to achieve that glow-up without dying your own hair.

This doesn’t extend only to heated styles, up-styles benefit from extensions too. The added volume creates a gorgeous full ponytail and a more-dramatic, fuller bun. Find all the right accessories for a slick-back style here.

However you choose to style it, you can bank on getting more longevity in the following days.

There’s a few reasons why hair extensions can bestow the above perks, one of which being the lack of natural oils the hair receives from the scalp. Our natural hair can be weighed down and styles fall faster with oil produced from our scalp. As an added bonus, hair extensions aren’t susceptible to the ravages of humidity, so if you’re travelling to more humid climates this summer, keep this in mind.

Another reason being that high quality human hair extensions have a better heat-styling memory than our natural hair fibres making the cuticle more porous than our own, thus helping the hair grip and maintain a heated wave, curl or bounce.

Due to the wide range of reasons for hair thinning and hair loss, like postpartum, menopause and many others, it is vital to have a full assessment of your hair history, scalp health and density before making a fully informed decision.

 So, if you are experiencing hair fall or thinning hair and would like to explore the benefits of a Filler Extensions service, we recommend booking a free consultation in one of our Centres of Excellence where our extensions specialists are particularly trained to ensure the entire service is catered to your hair’s unique needs from looking at your hair and scalp health to planning towards your desired outcome.
