Which Hair Extensions Are Best for Your Hair Type?

July 22, 2025

Choosing the right hair extension method can completely transform your look,but not all extensions work the same on every hair type. Whether you have fine, thick, short, or long hair, the key is matching your natural hair with the right application method.

At Emilly Hadrill Salons, we specialise in hair extensions for all hair types and offer personalised consultations in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne to help you find your perfect match.

Best Extensions for Fine or Thin Hair

Recommended Method: Tape Hair Extensions

Tape extensions are lightweight, lie flat against the scalp, and blend seamlessly,making them perfect for clients with finer strands. They don’t add bulk or strain on your natural hair and offer a natural-looking finish.

Why it works: Less tension on the hair, discreet placement, and easy maintenance.

Best Extensions for Medium to Thick Hair

Recommended Method: Weft Hair Extensions (Beaded or Sewn)

Weft extensions add volume and length while offering flexibility for thicker textures. They can be sewn in or applied using beads, and they stay secure while allowing natural movement.

Why it works: Long-lasting, adds density, and blends well with thicker strands.

Best Extensions for Short Hair or Blunt Cuts

Recommended Method: Keratin Bond Extensions

Keratin bonds are ideal for shorter or blunt cuts because they can be placed more strategically and blend beautifully with hair that doesn’t have long layers.

Why it works: Precision placement, strong hold, and virtually invisible.

Best Extensions for Occasional or DIY Use

Recommended Method: Clip-In Hair Extensions

Clip-ins are great for special occasions, events, or anyone wanting instant volume and length without the commitment. You can apply them yourself and remove them at the end of the day.

Why it works: Easy to use, no salon visit needed, and perfect for first-timers.

Can You Mix Extension Methods?

In some cases, combining two types of extensions can give even better results. At Emilly Hadrill Salons, it’s not uncommon for our expert stylists,including Emilly herself,to mix methods like wefts and tape extensions. This allows for greater customisation, especially when working with different densities or targeting specific areas for volume and length.

Why it works: You get the best of both worlds,strategic placement, natural blending, and tailored results that suit your hair perfectly.

Why Hair Type Matters

Your natural hair density, scalp health, and lifestyle all play a role in choosing the right extensions. That’s why a consultation with a hair extension specialist is key to getting results that are not only beautiful but sustainable.
