How we can help?
When we designed our Platform CUSTOM CLIP-INS creating a smaller extension geared toward hair loss was a no-brainer. That is where the 3" extensions come in. They come in a pack of two and work perfectly to add fullness back to the sides of the head, where postpartum hair loss is most common (and hair is naturally thinner). The clips do not require any teasing during installation to help minimize further damage.
