Hair Extensions for Thinning Hair: What a 20-Year Expert Wants Midlife Women to Know

 

If you've pulled your hair back into a ponytail and thought, my god, where did my hair go, you're in the right place. Hair thinning is one of the most common and least talked-about changes midlife women experience. And it hits harder than people expect, because it isn't just about the hair.

I sat down with Aubree Hill, founder of Exhale House Salon in Mill Valley and my personal hair therapist for years, to talk about whether hair extensions can actually help.

The short answer is: sometimes. And knowing which category you're in before you spend thousands of dollars is worth everything.

 

This is for you if you've been thinking:

  • "I can't believe how thin my ponytail feels now."

  • "I see so much hair in my brush and in the shower drain."

  • "I've wondered if extensions would even work for me."

  • "I've been told I should try extensions but I have no idea where to start."

  • "I've tried extensions before and it didn't go well."

  • "I'm worried about damaging what hair I do have."

  • "How much do hair extensions cost?"

Why Hair Thinning Feels Like More Than a Hair Problem

As Aubree puts it: hair is the outermost expression of our health. When our hair looks off, it signals poor health, even when it isn't true. And for women already managing changing hormones, energy, sleep, and identity, hair loss adds another layer.

"It's like a bad outfit that we can never change," she says. "And it interrupts our ability to show up at work, in relationships, in dating."

At the beginning, it's a low-grade nagging. At the later stages, it can become an obsession: hours spent researching, money spent on products that don't work. Understanding your options early matters.


Who Extensions Can (and Can't) Help

Extensions work best for volume and length in the mid-to-lower portion of your head. They cannot effectively address:

  • Very thin or see-through hair at the crown

  • A receding hairline or significant thinning at the very front

If your hair is thinning heavily through the crown, you may be a better candidate for a wig topper. If you have thinning that starts below the round of your head, extensions can make a real and meaningful difference.

The minimum hair length requirement is 3 inches. And even at that length, Aubree wants to understand what caused your hair to be that short. Post-chemotherapy, excessive breakage from home coloring, hormonal shedding, surgery, and chronic stress all require different considerations before extensions are added. Most importantly: if you're still in an active shedding phase (still on medications, still under chronic stress), adding extensions will make things worse.

If you're a midlife woman who is eating well, sleeping reasonably, managing stress, and your hair is thinning from hormonal changes, and you have more than 3 to 4 inches of hair, you likely qualify.


The Three Types of Extensions (and Why Method Matters)

Not all extensions are the same. The method makes a significant difference for women with thinning hair.

Strand-by-strand: Individual strands attached throughout your head via keratin bond, clamp, or similar. The most invisible, the most flexible, and the safest method for thinning hair.

Weft: Hair in a row attached horizontally around your head via beads, hand-sewing, or similar. More visible, more limited in placement, and can cause problems if too much weight is placed on thinning areas.

Tape-ins: Hair attached via adhesive strips. The most affordable, but also the most limited. They break down with oils, heat, and humidity, and are the most visible when hair is pulled back.

Aubree uses strand-by-strand exclusively, specifically Great Lengths. The brand has been around for 70 years, is B Corp certified (the only extension company with this designation), and uses ethically sourced and traded human hair with a provable supply chain. Most extension brands buy from brokers with no traceability.

The reason strand-by-strand matters so much for women with thinning hair: it is the least load-bearing method. Tape-ins and wefts concentrate weight in rows, which can create traction on already-fragile follicles. Traction alopecia, which can permanently damage or destroy a hair follicle, is a real risk from the wrong method on the wrong candidate. That follicle does not grow back.


What They Really Cost

Aubree breaks this down by annual spend, since different methods have different cost structures.

Great Lengths (strand-by-strand keratin): Approximately $3,000 per appointment, 2 to 3 appointments per year. Hair is completely swapped out at each visit. No move-up appointments in between. Total annual spend: roughly $6,000 to $9,000.

Tape-ins and wefts: Hair purchased upfront (typically lasting 10 months), then move-up appointments every 6 weeks as the hair grows out. Move-ups run approximately $250 per hour and take 1 to 3 hours. Total annual spend can be similar depending on hair volume and frequency.

The average client of Aubree's spends around $10,000 per year. It's a real investment, and understanding the cost structure helps you decide which method fits your budget.


Daily Life With Extensions

The biggest misconception: extensions require constant, burdensome maintenance. The reality is more nuanced.

What you must do:

  • Dry your attachment area after washing. Leaving it wet can cause slipping, discomfort, or matting.

  • Brush 2 to 3 times per day using a special brush (no ball tips, which can snag the attachment and pull it out). Never brush wet hair with extensions.

  • Rough dry the attachment area first, then air dry the rest if you prefer.

What you can do with strand-by-strand keratin (Great Lengths):

  • Work out

  • Swim, surf, go in the ocean

  • Go in a sauna or steam room (in moderation)

  • Wear your hair up, completely invisible


What becomes harder or impossible (especially with tape-ins and wefts):

  • Swimming freely or using saunas

  • Adding oils to your scalp

  • Wearing a clean, high ponytail


If you're a wash-and-go person: extensions require more care than no extensions. The lower your maintenance, the more often you'll need to wash, and the higher the risk of tangling.


How to Find the Right Stylist

Aubree's framework: identify your values first. If ethics matter to you, find a brand with a provable sourcing system. Great Lengths is currently the only one. If budget is a constraint, that shapes your method. Then use the brand's own directory to find certified stylists.

Questions to ask in a consultation:

  • What method do you use and why?

  • What brand of hair do you use and where does it come from?

  • Have you worked specifically with clients experiencing thinning hair?

  • What is my minimum hair length requirement for your method?

  • What are the risks given my current hair condition?

Red flags:

  • A stylist who doesn't ask about the cause of your thinning

  • One who doesn't assess your density before recommending a method

  • Anyone who pushes tape-ins or wefts on hair that is actively thinning

FAQs

Can hair extensions work on thinning hair?

Sometimes. Extensions work best for volume and length mid-head and below. Severe thinning at the crown or a receding hairline are not ideal candidates. The method matters enormously: strand-by-strand is the safest choice for women with thinning hair.

How much hair do you need to get extensions?

A minimum of 3 inches. Your stylist should also understand what caused your hair to be at that length and confirm you're not in an active shedding phase before proceeding.

Can hair extensions damage thinning hair?

Yes, if the wrong method is used. Tape-ins and wefts concentrate weight in rows, which can create traction on the scalp. Over time, this can cause traction alopecia, permanent follicle damage that cannot be reversed. Strand-by-strand methods distribute weight more evenly and are the safer choice for thin or fine hair.

How much do hair extensions cost?

Aubree's Great Lengths clients average approximately $10,000 per year, with appointments at around $3,000 each, 2 to 3 times per year. Tape-in and weft methods may be less expensive upfront but require move-up appointments every 6 weeks.


Can you swim with hair extensions?

With strand-by-strand keratin extensions (Great Lengths), yes, with reasonable care. Braid your hair before going in the water and avoid repeatedly combining scalp oils with steam or heat. Tape-ins and wefts are significantly more restricted.

Are hair extensions made of real hair?

High-quality extensions use real human hair, typically donated. The ethical sourcing varies dramatically by brand. Most brands buy from brokers with no traceability. Great Lengths is B Corp certified and has a provable supply chain, the only brand on the market that does.

    If you have pulled your hair back into a ponytail recently and thought, my God, where has all my hair gone? This episode is for you. It's distressing to see a bunch of your hair in the shower drain or in your brush. And the reality is it's not just about your hair. This shift in how you look affects your confidence and how you show up in your life. Today, we're talking about hair extensions, a solution that can help some midlife women with thinning hair, but honestly isn't right for everyone.


    There's a lot of nuance here that I didn't realize and we're diving into all of it with Aubrey Hill, founder of Exhale House Salon in Mill Valley. With over 20 years of experience, she specializes in invisible, ethically sourced extensions for women with thinning or changing hair and helping them feel like themselves again. We're breaking down when extensions work, when they don't, safety concerns, and what you need to know before you try them.


    Jessica Long (00:52)

    Hello, my friend. You are in the right place. This is where smart and sassy women over 40 come to figure out all things midlife. We talk hormones, careers, relationships, and everything in between. I'm Jessica Long, health coach and fellow midlife woman on this wild ride with you. Stick around for honest conversations with experts, rebels, and wise women rewriting midlife on their own terms. Let's dive in.


    Jessica Long (01:17)

    I am so excited to dive into this topic with my very own hairstylist slash therapist, Aubrey Hill. Aubrey, thanks so much for coming on the show today.


    Aubree (01:26)

    Thank you for having me, Jess. I'm really excited to talk about this topic. It's like my passion, so this is a big deal and I'm happy to get your listeners some information that might help them.


    Jessica Long (01:37)

    Thank


    you. Because honestly, hair thinning in midlife is a problem. mean, I have experienced it myself. You know, I have really thick hair, but I'd say I've lost about 25 % of it. Like when I put my hand around my ponytail, I can't believe how small it feels now. So this is a very real thing. And as you and I have discussed, it's not just about the hair on your head. This affects your confidence, your identity, how you show up in the world. I mean, I know if I have like,


    blemish on my face. I won't look people in the eye. And then they think I'm aloof or rude, but really I'm just insecure. And imagine feeling that way all the time because you don't feel like you're putting your best foot forward. You don't feel your best. So I'm excited to talk about hair extensions as a possible solution. And I know in some cases it works and in some cases it's not the right solution. And so hair thinning at this stage of life can look like thinning hair throughout your whole head.


    It can look like thinning hair at the temples or a hairline that's pulling back. So in which of these cases can hair extensions help us?


    Aubree (02:45)

    Yeah, so first I want to just address what you said about the emotional weight that happens when you don't have great hair, Because hair is the outermost expression of our health. So if we don't have good hair, it signals bad health.


    And that's not always the case, but it's like this mirror effect, right? And so when we're walking out in the world and we don't feel like we look healthy as women, it registers as a vanity thing, but it's kind of like a bad outfit that we can never change. And it interrupts our ability to show up at work, in relationships, in dating.


    When it's at the beginning stages, it's a quiet sort of nagging. When it's at the end stages where your hair is really thinning and you just don't feel like yourself, it can become an incessant obsession that you harbor, that you're spending hours a day looking for solutions, buying and investing in products that may help it, but actually never do. it's a real problem and it truly impacts our ability to


    show up as the badass women that we are. So hair is a really, really, really big deal.


    Jessica Long (04:00)

    Thank you. Yes, it is.


    Aubree (04:03)

    So the question that you asked about what kind of thinning is appropriate for extensions, essentially extensions can't really go through the crown of your head without being a little visible. Sometimes I can do that with certain methods. If you go strand by strand method, you can get into the crown, but if your hair is really, really thinning, like see through, we can see your scalp.


    you probably want to switch to some sort of wig topper or something like that. We also can't go too close to the front hairline. So if you have a receding hairline or if you have thinning right in the very front, it's not going to be able to address that. So when you think of extensions, you want to think more volume and length and volume that begins a little bit under the round of your head and below. And while


    that may not be the perfect solution for some people who are really experiencing a lot of thinning. It still makes a very positive impact because even if we have thin hair through the top of our head and it is fine, just even volumizing that and getting it a little fluffier, a little more, that can improve the quality of someone's emotional state just like that.


    Jessica Long (05:15)

    Totally. feel like I've even seen that in your salon when I'm coming in and someone's walking out and they're like, I can't believe this. And I mean, just the look of joy you're changing people's lives really. It's totally life changing for the people that it can work for. Okay. So you're saying it's not just about volume. They can add length. They can do both of those things, which I think is helpful to hear. How long does your hair have to be before you can get extensions?


    Aubree (05:42)

    most people can handle extensions. The people that we would wanna say we wanna wait to install is if it's below three inches, we don't wanna install hair extensions, mostly because we need hair to hold onto. So the extensions have to attach to something. Then we need a little bit of hair to cover the attachment.


    themselves and if your hair is under three inches it's really hard to attach to. And also what caused your hair to be three inches? Is it post-chemo? Is it breakage because you've been coloring your hair at home Is it because your hormone cycle is making your hair not stay on your head, So a lot of those situations need to be addressed and understood before you can determine if it's actually appropriate for you.


    It can also be post-surgery, post-trauma, post-stress, hair loss. And are we in an active shedding situation or are we moving out of that? Because if we're still taking medications or actively experiencing chronic stress and we add extensions, the extensions are just gonna fall out and cause stress and pressure on the hair and it's gonna make it worse. So three inches is


    the bare minimum of what your hair needs to be. But I need to understand, why is your hair only three inches? what caused that? Yeah.


    Jessica Long (07:01)

    Okay.


    And three inches is really short. So I feel


    like, outside of some serious medical issues or chronic stress, if you feel like you're a woman in midlife and you're doing the best you can, you're eating well, you're exercising, you're trying to sleep well, and your hair just seems to be thinning and you have more than four inches of hair, then you could qualify. So you're saying you have to have enough hair to hide the attachment. What is the attachment and what does it look like?


    Aubree (07:31)

    So you have strand by strand method and those are individual strands that put in. How they're put in, they may be attached via a keratin bond or a clamping system, but they're little pieces of hair that are put throughout your entire head. Then the other method is a weft method. So you take that same amount of hair and it's in a row weft and it's attached in a ring around your head. And the way it's attached can be through being


    hand sewn, invisible bead, whatever, however to get that weft through the entirety of your hair. Then you have a tape glue adhesive which would be tape-ins and like resin and things like that. So each of those methods provides a little bit more or less flexibility and a little more need for hair to cover the attachment. So the most natural and the most invisible is going to be the strand by strand method.


    that we can go pretty high up into the hairline and you don't need as much hair to cover or blend those because of how small they are and how far on your scalp we can get them and how effortlessly they move. So in that situation, you need less hair to cover them because you can go higher. In a weft or tape-in situation, they have limitations because of how they're built. So if you have a


    a strip of hair that you have to attach into your scalp. You can't really go up into your hairline. So you're gonna need more hair to cover that and blend it. And essentially what you're trying to do is get from your shortest piece of hair to the longest hair that you're adding and you're trying to blend that in. So the shorter your hair is and the longer you wanna go, the more hair you need and the more of a custom...


    method you need to use like a strand by strand method.


    Jessica Long (09:25)

    Well, which method do


    you use and which one do you think is the highest quality?


    Aubree (09:30)

    I use strand by strand and I use specifically a company called Great Links. They've been around for 70 years. They're the oldest method around and I use them because of this exact thing. They're strand by strand. They're very natural. They're comfortable. They're non damaging and they're ethically sourced and traded and they are the only extension method on the market that has a B Corp certification. And so that means it's proven.


    that their hair is ethically sourced and traded So I think that that's the best method but also it's the most expensive. So I know a lot of the people who are exploring these options, they might not have a huge budget to invest in. So realistically you need to weigh the odds of what's my budget, what is going to look the best given my circumstances, what's my lifestyle, and then you make the decision from there. But ultimately


    Great length strand by strand keratin attachments are the best method hands down


    Jessica Long (10:27)

    I have so many questions based on your last little monologue here. So when you're saying ethically sourced, it's making me think, wait, where are these coming from? Is this human hair that people are voluntarily giving? Wait, what? So what are they made of?


    Aubree (10:42)

    Yes.


    So it should be made of real hair. This is human hair that has been donated usually, but it depends. there's like a black market that exists in this industry. So if you care about that which you should, you should be very careful with which brands that you use. So it is human hair. Typically it's donated. Sometimes it's not donated. Sometimes it's not provable where it comes from, but there are extensions.


    methods that use plastic and stuff more like wigs and those are going to be lower quality. You don't even want to mess around with that. I don't even think any salon I know locally does that kind of work so it's not really an issue.


    Jessica Long (11:27)

    Okay, but just to know if you're at home researching this, they are made out of different things. If that matters to you, then make sure you know the source. And so these are some of the questions that you should be asking if you're having an introductory call with a potential stylist, for example. Okay. You also mentioned price and that the strand by strand is more expensive. What's the price range we're looking at?


    Aubree (11:50)

    I like to break this down into a yearly spend because it averages about the same per year per person depending on hair thickness, frequency, and length. So I would say that the average person spends $10,000 a year on hair extensions. So that may look like spending...


    $2,000 on the hair every 10 months and then spending $500 every six weeks to move it up. So when we talk about a move up, move up maintenance, is your in between is going to be with your wefts and your tape ins and some of your beaded strand by strand. Then you have other methods like great lengths or K tips where they can last a lot longer. So you may be spending $2,500 to $4,500 every four


    six months. So it ultimately depends on what you have going on but my clients for the method that I do spend an average of three thousand dollars per appointment and they come in two to three times a year.


    Jessica Long (12:55)

    Okay, okay, so they last pretty long. And when they're coming in, are you completely swapping out the extensions or are you having to change their placement?


    Aubree (13:04)

    with Great Links, you have to swap it out entirely. So you see a bigger cost upfront. So you might come in tomorrow and get a full set of extensions that cost you about $3,000. Then I don't see you at all for another four or five, six months, Then in that time you come in, I do a removal and I do a new set, an entirely new set. So that's the benefit of a Great Links strand by strand keratin situation. Then if you go into tape-ins and wefts,


    you usually pay for the hair up front and that hair will last you 10 months but in that 10 months every time it grows out an inch you need to take them out and push them back up. So those extensions require them to be close to the scalp in order for them to be effective and to look normal. So in that appointment you're usually spending $250 an hour for the move up and it may take one to two to three hours depending on how much hair you have. So if you're spending


    $2.50 an hour, two hours and you're doing that every six weeks. Well, you don't have to pay for the hair again until it's run its course, which is usually 10 months later, but you have to pay for that maintenance fee


    Jessica Long (14:15)

    okay, makes sense. Well, another thing you mentioned before was lifestyle. And you actually mentioned this to me last time I was in your chair and you were saying like, if you're a wash and go kind of girl extensions are for you. And I was like, wait, what? I did not know this. And you were telling me they require some care. So tell me more about that. What do they require? What's the typical upkeep?


    Aubree (14:40)

    they do require some sort of upkeep, but it's not as crazy as people think that it is. So essentially, after you wash your hair, you have to dry the attachment area. If you don't and you leave that wet, it can just create a little bit of slipping or discomfort or matting.


    So as long as when you get out of the shower, you go through and you at least rough dry your attachment area and then you can air dry the rest of it. It's fine. The more effort you put into your hair right when you get out of the shower in terms of blow drying and styling all the way, the better it's going to look and the better the wear is going to be by the time you have to wash your hair again. The more low maintenance you are, the more often you're going to have to wash your hair and prevent tangling and matting in situations.


    like that.


    Jessica Long (15:29)

    So I have what maybe seems like kind of a dumb question, but I'm thinking about how you're attaching these strand by strand. And I've seen your videos on Instagram. You guys should all go watch them. It's so fascinating. So can you brush your hair? like, how does a brush get through that attachment? And then how are you preventing matting up above where the attachments are?


    Aubree (15:49)

    You need to brush your hair when you have extensions. So you should be getting a special brush. Whoever is doing your extensions should be giving you and including a brush that's specific to that extension type. for great lengths and strand by strand, we have a brush that doesn't have any balls on the end because you don't want a wet brush, for instance, could get stuck inside when you're brushing your scalp and rip the extension out. So instead you do these bristles that have no balls on the end and there's usually


    two layers of it, a long layer and a short layer. And when you brush over the attachment, it takes all of the hairs that start to shed throughout their wear time, bends them back down the strand so that they don't get tangled with each other. And if you're not brushing it, then that's when matting starts to happen. So brushing is 100 % absolutely required. we recommend two to three times a day of brushing your actual scalp and brushing your ends. But we never want you to brush


    your hair when it's wet because if you brush your hair when it's wet there may be a knot hiding in one of the extensions and you're not thinking about it and you rip through your hair and the friction point is going to be at the attachment it's going to rip that chunk of your hair out as if you waxed it so that's not ideal not ideal


    Jessica Long (17:04)

    We don't want to wax our heads pretty much everywhere else, but not our heads. Okay. And then are there things that you can't do when you have extension? So you're mentioning you don't want to leave your hair wet that long. Can you go swimming? Can you go in the ocean? What are the do's and don'ts?


    Aubree (17:06)

    No. Yes.


    If you're doing tape in extensions, you're very limited. If you sweat too much, if you put any sort of oils in your hair or you go into a sauna or a steam room or swimming or whatever, that tape will start to break down and they could slip out of your hair. If you do the weft method, that one is going to be more impacted by oils because it's attached through like a mechanism that is like sewing in this situation.


    put a lot of oils in there it's just going to slip it down through your hair so chlorine or excessive heat can alter those. The strand by strand keratin base those ones are pretty durable.


    So you can swim, can surf, you can go in the sauna, you can go in the steam room. I just wouldn't add scalp oils and then go into a steam room and sit there and do that like five days a week. If you do that five days a week, your extensions are coming out because no amount of adherence is going to protect that. The only thing I would say is no matter how active your lifestyle is, one of the big things you wanna prevent is your hair tangling.


    Because once a little tangle gets in one of these strands of hair and you can't get it out, that's when tension and friction starts to happen at the attachment point. So if you're going to go on a boat, if you're going to go swimming, surfing, anything like that, tie your hair into a loose braid and then go in the water or the wind.


    Jessica Long (18:48)

    Okay, well another question is if you put your hair up, can you see the extensions or where they're attached?


    Aubree (18:55)

    tapens and wefts, can see them. great lengths, keratin attachment, you cannot see them. So I know that not everyone is gonna be watching this video, this is what it looks like when you have the keratin attachments. So you can see they don't stick out.


    I can wear my hair very effortlessly into a ponytail, it's no problem. But if you have wefts and tapes, they're put in horizontally and they're chunks of hair. So you can imagine then when you pull your hair back, they kind of bubble out and you can't really do a nice clean pony because essentially they're gonna be


    popping out of your hair. So you have to wear your hair like a low situation like that so they can drop down and then go into your pony. And then


    Strand by strand extensions are also quite invisible because they're little strands of the hair. When you see tapins and wefts, like you can kind of see them. If the wind blows a certain way, you're gonna see panels of hair throughout your head. And when people complain about that, usually they're complaining about tapins and wefts.


    Jessica Long (20:06)

    And some people say, you can always


    tell when someone has extensions. They're probably talking about those kinds. Yeah.


    Aubree (20:12)

    Yes. If you can


    tell, if you can tell, it's not, it's not great, you know?


    Jessica Long (20:16)

    And so how safe are these? Is there any safety concern that we need to be thinking about when getting extensions?


    Aubree (20:23)

    Yeah, you need to have a decent amount of density at your scalp and the method needs to match the amount of density that you have on your scalp. If you have really thick hair, which...


    we're talking about midlife women who are dealing with thinning hair, right? You're safer going towards the strand by strand method because we can measure how much hair you have naturally density at your scalp. And then we determine how much hair we can attach to that. So it's the least load bearing method available. Whereas if you go tape and weft, you're taking the majority of the volume in bulk and you're putting it into one row. And that can be way too heavy on


    the person's scalp and then it can cause long-term damage. You can get traction alopecia which can literally pop out your follicle and that's like surgically removing your hair follicle and it's never coming back. So you definitely need to be careful about the method that you choose.


    Jessica Long (21:26)

    Gosh, I did not know that. Good to know. Okay. what did I not ask you that you think is important to cover?


    Aubree (21:28)

    Yes.


    I think maybe things to look for when you are considering pursuing extensions. So I would identify first what your values are.


    and what is your budget? If your budget is open, then I would go towards your next value, which is going to be quality. you want to make sure the stylist themselves is qualified. You also want to make sure that the hair aligns with your values. So if you are a person who values human rights then you're going to pay more for that. But you have to make sure that the brand itself is a lot.


    with those values. It's ethically sourced and traded and it's provable. Most extension companies are not provable. Actually, Great Links is the only one who has a proven system on where their hair comes from. Every other brand buys their hair from brokers and those brokers in other countries are not necessarily


    bound by the same ethics as we might be in the United States.


    So understand your values then find a brand that matches with that and then find that brand's referral system. Usually they'll have a directory on their website and then you could go from there.
