It depends on the cause and severity of the shedding.
If your hair is experiencing mild or seasonal shedding, or shedding from stress or color damage, you can still be a great candidate for Ice Fusion Hair Extensions. This method is lightweight, cold-applied, and gentle enough for hair that needs extra care.

However, if you’re experiencing rapid, medical-related hair loss, it’s best to allow the shedding phase to slow down before installing extensions.

The easiest way to know is to come in for a free cnsultation so we can evaluate your density and recommend the safest option.

Extensions are not recommended when:

• There are visible bald patches
• Shedding is sudden and aggressive
• The roots are too weak to support even lightweight extensions
• There is active scalp irritation, pain, or inflammation

In these cases, focusing on scalp health first is the priority. Many clients return in 2–3 months once shedding stabilizes — and at that point, Ice Fusion often becomes a safe option.

If you’re unsure, book a quick consultation and we’ll gently check your hair and scalp.

‍

Yes — extensions can significantly improve the appearance of thinning hair, especially around the sides, mid-lengths, and ends. With Ice Fusion, tiny micro-strands can be placed strategically to add fullness where your natural hair looks sparse.

However, extensions cannot be attached directly to the top or crown, where thinning is the most common. Instead, we use surrounding areas to create balanced fullness that makes the crown appear thicker overall.

You can view our before and after photos to see how volume is restored naturally and invisibly.

No. Ice Fusion is designed specifically for clients with fine or fragile hair, because:

• Capsules are ultra-lightweight
• The method uses a special cold gel (cold fusion) — no heat
• Weight is distributed evenly strand-by-strand
• There is zero tension or heavy wefts

When installed correctly, Ice Fusion grows out smoothly with your natural hair and does not pull or stress the follicles.

Yes — after the peak shedding phase, Ice Fusion Hair Extensions can be a safe and beautiful way to restore volume for postpartum clients.

Postpartum hair loss typically lasts 3–6 months, and many women choose to install extensions once shedding slows and density stabilizes.

We place the strands carefully around sensitive areas to avoid weight or traction. Most postpartum clients see a big confidence boost once fullness is restored.

If you’re unsure when to start, book your free postpartum consultation, and we’ll guide you based on your current density.

If hair is actively shedding, extensions may need to be postponed or adjusted.

In some cases, we recommend:

• Waiting for shedding to stabilize
• Choosing a volume-focused solution
• Using fewer grams and micro bonds

This protects long-term hair health and prevents unnecessary stress on the roots.

👉 Speak with a specialist during a free consultation at Bloom Studio Hair Extensions.

Hair extensions may not be recommended if:

• Hair density is extremely low
• There are visible bald patches
• A medical condition is untreated

In these cases, we may suggest delaying installation or exploring alternative hair solutions first.
