Braid extensions are an excellent option for people who want fuller-looking braids but don’t know how long it takes to grow their locks out or have enough time before an event. Braiding over a thick section of hair will help add thickness too. For example, if you’re wearing cornrows, you could braid over your hairline on one side, giving more volume on that side and making it seem like there’s more hair volume.

I’ve had thin hair my whole life. It’s something I’m used to, but it does make styling a little more difficult. Thankfully, some tricks can help you look like you have thicker hair than you do! If you’re looking for an easy way to try this out, braids are the answer. You can braid your hair tightly or loosely, and the result will be the same: fuller-looking locks in just minutes.

No matter how thick your hair is, it cannot be easy to find a braid that looks full enough. However, these techniques are quick and simple for everyday wear or even fancy occasions! Your goal should be to have a braid that has no gaps in between the strands of hair. If you have long hair, try using two or more thin braids instead of one thick braid.
