What are the Best Hair Extensions for Thick Hair?

Ever found the perfect shade of hair extensions, just to realise they’re not going to blend well with your naturally thick locks? 

Choosing hair extensions for thick hair can prove difficult. Unlike finer hair types, it is much harder to get a natural look with hair extensions for thick hair. 

That’s why it’s important to choose a product, length and application method that’s best for your hair type, to create a natural-looking result. 

But don’t panic just yet. In this guide, the hair extension experts at Milk & Blush cover everything you need to know about finding the best hair extensions for thick hair.

The best hair extensions for thick hair are Remy human hair extensions. 

This is because each strand of hair is sewn to face the same way, for a natural finish – which is a characteristic that is hard to achieve with hair extensions for those with thick hair. 

They can also be treated in the same way as Your natural hair, and styled with heated styling tools to help with blending. Just make sure you apply a heat protectant before styling!

The Best Hair Extension Length for Thicker Hair

The length of hair extensions you choose will depend on the current length of your natural hair and your desired style – regardless of how thick your hair is.

For a natural-looking boost in length, you should aim for extensions that are around two inches longer than your real hair. So, if your real hair is 16-inches long, you should aim for an 18-inch set.

However, if you wish to dramatically lengthen your locks, then you can look for a longer set and take them to your hair professional to blend in with your real locks. The beauty of thicker hair is that it can handle a heavier set of extensions more comfortably.

Either way, you’ll need to make sure that the hair extensions are thick from top to bottom – so, they blend well with your own hair.

The Best Hair Extension Method for Thick Hair

We might sound biassed but the best hair extension method for thick hair is clip-ins. 

This method allows you to have complete control over the end result, plus, you can add as many clip-in wefts as you like until you get a natural-looking result. You can then simply remove the extensions at the end of the night for an easier haircare routine.

Thicker hair can be more difficult to manage and care for than more fine hair – taking longer to detangle and dry if you want to achieve smooth and glowing hair. 

So, permanent hair extension methods risk adding more time and care to this routine, requiring you to take even more care when washing, drying, styling and managing healthy locks.

With clip-in extensions, you can achieve a glamorous temporary boost in hair length for special occasions or everyday wear, without the additional care of looking after permanent extensions.

Milk & Blush Clip-In Hair Extensions

Enjoy a temporary boost in length whenever you need it, with Milk & Blush luxury clip-in hair extensions. 

We recommend the Milk & Blush Classic and Quad Weft hair extensions for thick hair. These clip-in hair extensions are extremely thick, as they have three or four wefts of hair sewn onto each mesh, depending on which set you go for. 

These are perfect for those with thick hair – as there’s plenty of hair to blend with your own growing locks to achieve a natural-looking finish.
