Very fine, thin hair... Should I just go back to itips?
I've always had fine thin hair, but it was incredibly spirally curly until I had my first of three kids. It's now barely wavy after cancer treatment 18 years ago, three pregnancies and age (50) I choose hair extensions to feel the way I want to about myself.
I live in a rural area so we are often behind the times on trends, but extensions are also a lot cheaper. I know the extensions have thinned my natural hair a little bit, but it makes such a difference I don't care. My issue is that I went from itips to an Infinity weft 3 years ago. I now have one row which is just for fullness because most people don't even know I have extensions. It looks like a wolf cut on someone with sort of thin hair. I used to have two rows but the top row you could see through my hair because it's so thin. That sort of bothered me. The edges of my weft are constantly showing through or peeling up. I have an active job so I often put my hair up in a ponytail and I feel like I can't anymore.
Should I go back to itips? It seems they fallen out of favor but it might actually be the best for my incredibly fine thin hair... I don't even use that many. My stylist is too worried about using k-tips and potentially causing damage to my hair, and he mentioned tape ins, what he said normally cause little damage but might for me. When I have the i tips I felt like I could put my hair up in a ponytail and not feel like everyone could see the bumps or the weft. Did they occasionally pull/fall out? Yes, but I don't remember being super bothered by it.
Please help!
