Most clients that come to my salon have thin hair, but plenty of clients actually have thick gorgeous hair that simply will not grow. It is so important for these clients to have their extensions custom-made because simply buying a cheap standard pack of hair extensions off the internet will make their hair look like a "mullet" (for lack of a better word!). It seems counter-intuitive, but the thicker the client's natural hair, the thicker the extensions need to be so that the layers fall seamlessly and so that there is no separation between the natural hair and the longer extensions hair.
What I do for these clients is carefully measure their head and the length of each layer so that the extensions can be custom-fitted to fall exactly where they need to in order to make the extensions look like it is their natural hair, just more of it!
I chose this photo to illustrate my point. My client/model Mei has beautiful thick hair. When hair is this short and cut into a bob, it is easiest to create a natural look using wavy extensions because the waves hide the short layer. But straight extensions can work too, so long as they are layered properly.
