So, you eagerly opened your package of beautiful new hair extensions, only to feel a pang of disappointment – they look thinner than you expected? We completely understand that feeling!
At Moresoo, hearing “my hair extensions look thin” is feedback we take seriously, and we want to address it head-on. Often, what seems like thin hair isn’t a quality issue at all, but rather a common perception based on several factors.
Let’s dive into why this happens and how to ensure you get the luscious, voluminous hair you deserve.
Why Your Premium Extensions Might Appear Thin Initially
The “Bundle Bounce” Factor
Think about a fresh, high-quality weft. Virgin Remy hair cuticles are perfectly aligned and lay incredibly flat. When bundled tightly for shipping, this smoothness can make the bundle look denser than it actually is. Once released, the hair relaxes, the cuticles settle, and the bundle naturally expands and softens. This “fluffing out” can create an optical illusion of less density compared to the compact shipping state. Lower quality hair with rougher, misaligned cuticles often stays clumped together, looking denser initially but tangling horribly later.
Installation & Styling Make ALL the Difference
Raw bundles, no matter how thick, are just the starting point. How they are installed and styled is crucial for volume:
- Sectioning: If your natural hair sections are too thick when applying tape-ins, clips, or even a sew-in, the extension weft is stretched thin over a large area, making it look sparse. Properly sized, thinner sections allow the weft to sit flush and appear fuller.
- Placement: Extensions placed too close to the scalp naturally “hug” the head more closely, especially at the roots, which can look flatter. Strategic placement slightly away from the root (where possible) and proper blending create lift.
- Styling (Especially Straight Out of the Box): Brand new, unwashed, un-styled extensions often lack body. They haven’t been blown out, curled, or had any product applied to add texture and volume. Flat, straight hair lying perfectly smooth will always look less voluminous than teased, curled, or textured hair.
Hair Type & Texture Perception
If you have very coarse or thick natural hair, even high-density extensions might initially seem finer in comparison until they are fully blended and styled together. Conversely, fine natural hair blended with extensions can sometimes make the extensions look thicker than they feel in the bundle.
The “Stack” Illusion
Looking at a single weft laid flat on a table will always look less impressive than seeing multiple wefts layered and blended on a mannequin or model. The magic happens when they are installed and work together!
Our Commitment to Quality & Density
At Moresoo, we are meticulous about sourcing and quality control:
- True Density Guarantee: We clearly label our grams per bundle/weft (e.g., 100g, 120g, 150g) and stand by these weights. Each batch is checked.
- Consistent Weft Construction: Our wefts are sewn with high tension for durability and consistent hair distribution along the track.
What To Do If You’re Concerned
- Don’t Judge by the Bundle Alone! Please install them (or have your stylist install them) following best practices for section sizing and placement.
- Wash & Style: Give your extensions their first gentle wash (use sulfate-free products!). Then, blow-dry them with a round brush for root lift, or add some loose curls or waves. Texture is volume’s best friend!
- Check the Weight: Use a small kitchen scale to verify the actual weight of the bundle against what was advertised. If there’s a significant discrepancy, we need to know!
- Reach Out & Send Photos! This is crucial. Contact our support team immediately at [Your Support Email/Link] with clear photos:
- Include your order number.
