Thinning hair and tape extensions

April 28, 2016
Asked By:SStewart613

Hi there,last year I was on a medication that caused significant hair thinning. It caused the follicles to shrink and now my hair sheds a lot and is easily pulled out.It's giving me self esteem issues - and my hairdresser suggested doing a few tracks of taped in hair extensions to thicken my hair.Question - is it risky? Is the weight of the taped hair likely to pull out my natural hair and leave a bald patch?thanks!
