<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHair thickening: more volume, same length<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLet's start with hair thickening. Many women know the problem: hair becomes thinner over the years, the ends look frayed or the hair is simply very fine by nature. Thickening can help here without automatically giving you longer hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal of densification is fullness.<\/strong> Your own hair length is largely retained, but the overall appearance changes significantly. The hair appears healthier, more voluminous and more bouncy. Thickening can work wonders, especially for fine or thinning hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe big advantage: you need fewer strands than with an extension, which is also reflected in the costs. Hair thickening is often the first choice for women who want to experiment with extensions without investing in a full extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many strands do you need for a thickening?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe amount depends on how pronounced your volume problem is and which areas you want to thicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For light compression<\/strong>For example, if you only want to make the tips look a little fuller or want to fill in specific areas, 25 to 40 bonding strands are often enough. With Tape extensions<\/a> this corresponds to about 16 to 20 tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor medium to strong densification<\/strong> 40 to 75 strands are usually required for fine hair overall. This provides noticeably more volume to the entire head and makes the hair look much fuller.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe exact number will be determined during the consultation. The hairdresser will take a close look at your hair, consider your hair structure and discuss with you the result you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hair extensions: when you dream of long hair<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHair extensions are about more than just volume, you want significantly longer hair. Perhaps you want to go from shoulder length to chest height, or you want your hair to reach your waist. Much more real hair is used here than with a pure thickening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason is simple:<\/strong> You need enough material so that the transitions look natural and the tips do not look transparent. Too little hair will result in the extensions becoming visible or the result looking artificial.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow many strands do you need for an extension?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHere, too, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but a few guidelines can help with orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In favour of a moderate extension<\/strong>From about shoulder length to chest height for normal to fine hair, 75 to 120 bonding strands are usually used. This corresponds to around 24 to 40 tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn favour of a significant extension<\/strong> or if you have very thick, dense natural hair, 120 to 150 strands or more may be necessary. For very long hair or if you want both length and maximum volume, the number can be even higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe greater the difference between your current hair length and your goal, the more strands you will need. This is because the extension hair not only needs to be long enough, but there should also be enough of it to keep the ends nice and full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What else influences the amount of hair required?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn addition to the question of \"thickening or lengthening?\", there are other factors that determine how much hair you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your natural hair density<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDo you naturally have very thick, strong hair? Then you will tend to need more extensions so that the transitions look harmonious. If you have very fine hair, a smaller amount is often enough to achieve a natural result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The structure of your own hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIs your hair heavily layered or does it have many different lengths? Then you will need more strands to avoid edges and soften all transitions. If your hair is blunt-cut, less effort is usually required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your head circumference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe size of your head also plays a role. If you have a larger head circumference, there is more area to cover, which requires more strands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your quality standards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA natural, high-quality result requires sufficient material. Too little hair leads to visible gaps, transparent ends or an overall unnatural look. The rule here is: it's better to have a little more than too little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Extensions-Str\u00e4hnen](\"https:\/\/www.haartick-extensions.de\/wp-content\/themes\/woodmart\/images\/lazy.svg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHair thickening costs: What will you have to pay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOf course, the financial aspect also plays a role in your decision. The cost of hair thickening depends on several factors: the number of strands, the chosen method and the quality of the human hair used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally speaking, thickening is cheaper than a full extension as less material is required. Depending on the salon and region, you can expect to pay between \u20ac200 and \u20ac600 for thickening. An extension usually costs between 400 and 1,500 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
