Crown Fusion Hair Extension Prostheses: A Solution for Thinning and Balding on Top of Head
Designed specifically for clients experiencing hair loss or thinning around the crown area, Crown Fusion Hair Prostheses deliver a natural look far beyond what a traditional wig can offer — securely attached using our patented, non-damaging system.
Non-Damaging
Crown & Top of Head
European Human Hair
In addition to the Glamour Locks Hair Extension System, we also offer Crown Fusion Hair Prostheses — designed specifically for clients experiencing balding, thinning, or hair loss around the crown area. Unlike a traditional wig, Crown Fusion extensions look completely natural because they are securely attached directly to your scalp using our patented, non-damaging method.
How the Crown Fusion Prosthesis Is Applied
We begin with ethically sourced European human hair. Our patented Tension Strap creates a cushioned barrier between the Crown Fusion and your natural hair, protecting your scalp and ensuring the prosthesis sits comfortably and securely.
Adding Length and Volume with the Glamour Locks System
Once the Crown Fusion is securely attached to the top of your head, we can add additional weft extensions around the sides to create extra length and volume — blending seamlessly with the crown piece for a full, natural result.
What Crown Fusion Methods to Avoid
Many competing methods use a mesh bottom that does not allow your scalp to breathe. Over time, this leads to product buildup from shampoo and conditioner that can develop an unpleasant odor — and some of these methods can also cause direct damage to your natural hair.
Why Choose the Glamour Locks Crown Fusion?
Our Crown Fusion Hair Prostheses feature a porous bottom that allows your natural hair to be pulled up and through the hairpiece. This creates a more natural look that blends with your own hair, allows your scalp to breathe, and makes it easy to shampoo and scrub as normal.
Your natural hair pulls through the porous base, blending invisibly with the Crown Fusion.
The open base prevents product buildup and allows normal washing and scrubbing.
Style it just like your own hair — including bangs. Wear it in the pool or ocean without worry.
Each strand is hand-selected to match our color ring with over 25 shades of 100% European human hair.
Choose a permanent attachment or the clip-on option for easy removal — wefts last 8 months to several years.
Attached permanently using our patented technique — you won’t feel a thing and your natural hair stays protected.
Clip-On Crown Fusion Option Available
Prefer flexibility? We also offer a clip-on technique that allows you to easily remove and reattach the Crown Fusion as needed. With proper maintenance, our hair extension wefts can last anywhere from 8 months to several years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crown Fusion Hair Extensions
What exactly is a Crown Fusion hair prosthesis, and how is it different from a wig?
A Crown Fusion hair prosthesis is a custom hairpiece designed specifically to cover thinning or balding on the top of the head. Unlike a wig, which covers the entire scalp and is removed daily, a Crown Fusion extension is permanently attached to your scalp using the patented Glamour Locks non-damaging system. It moves and behaves like your own hair because it’s secured directly to the skin rather than sitting over it. The result is a natural appearance indistinguishable from your own hair, even up close, and it stays in place through washing, exercise, and everyday activity.
Who is a good candidate for Crown Fusion hair extensions?
Crown Fusion hair prostheses are designed for clients experiencing thinning, balding, or significant hair loss concentrated around the crown or top of the head. Common candidates include women dealing with female pattern hair loss, clients who have experienced thinning due to postpartum hormonal changes, those with alopecia affecting the crown area, or anyone who has lost density at the top due to stress, medication, or nutritional deficiency. A consultation at Glamour Locks is the best first step — our stylists assess the area of thinning, remaining hair density, and your goals to determine whether Crown Fusion is the right solution.
What kind of hair is used for Crown Fusion prostheses?
Glamour Locks uses ethically sourced European human hair for all Crown Fusion prostheses. This hair is single-donor, cuticle-aligned, and selected to match the texture and thickness that blends naturally with most hair types. Because it’s real human hair, it can be washed, styled with heat tools, and colored — giving you complete versatility. The natural origin of the hair is particularly important for Crown Fusion because the prosthesis must blend seamlessly with the real hair surrounding the crown area; synthetic alternatives cannot achieve that level of realism.
How is the Crown Fusion attached to the scalp without causing damage?
The Glamour Locks patented Tension Strap is the foundation of every Crown Fusion installation. This strap creates a cushioned barrier between the prosthesis and your scalp, securing the hairpiece firmly without adhesives, suction, or compression that could damage sensitive or already-thinning scalp tissue. Clients with sensitive scalps, including those undergoing or recovering from medical treatments, have worn Crown Fusion prostheses comfortably with no adverse effects.
Can Crown Fusion extensions be combined with weft extensions for additional volume?
Yes — and this combination is one of the most transformative options Glamour Locks offers. Once the Crown Fusion prosthesis is secured at the top of the head, traditional Glamour Locks weft extensions can be added along the sides and back to create a full, voluminous result across the entire head. This approach is particularly effective for clients who have thinning at the crown but still have reasonable density on the sides and back. The combined installation is completed in a single appointment and looks completely unified — no visible lines between the prosthesis and the extensions.
How often does a Crown Fusion hair prosthesis need to be serviced?
Crown Fusion clients typically return every six to eight weeks for a maintenance appointment, similar to the schedule for standard Glamour Locks weft extensions. During this visit, the stylist adjusts the attachment as your natural hair grows and checks the condition of the prosthesis. With proper at-home care — gentle sulfate-free shampoo, regular conditioning, and careful brushing — the hairpiece maintains its appearance and texture for an extended period.
Living with Crown Fusion Hair Extensions: A Complete Guide
Crown Fusion hair extensions represent one of the most specialized and transformative services in the hair extension industry. Designed for clients experiencing thinning or loss at the top of the head, they solve a problem that most conventional extension methods can’t address at all — and they do it in a way that looks completely natural and feels genuinely comfortable in daily life. Understanding what the experience of wearing Crown Fusion extensions is actually like helps prospective clients make an informed decision and set realistic expectations from the start.
The Difference Between Crown Fusion and Standard Extensions
Standard weft extensions add length and volume to hair that already has sufficient coverage at the scalp. They work by attaching wefts of extension hair along rows positioned below the natural hairline, where the natural hair above covers the attachment points completely. Crown Fusion hair extensions solve a fundamentally different problem: they provide coverage for areas where natural hair is absent or too sparse to cover the scalp itself. This requires a completely different attachment approach — the prosthesis is anchored directly to the scalp using the patented Glamour Locks system rather than to existing hair strands — and a different type of hairpiece that’s designed to integrate with whatever natural hair remains around the thinning area.
What the Crown Fusion Consultation Involves
The consultation for Crown Fusion hair extensions is more detailed than for standard extensions because the degree of thinning, the pattern of hair loss, and the density of remaining hair all directly affect what’s possible and how the prosthesis should be designed. Your Glamour Locks stylist will assess the size and location of the thinning area, the density and length of your existing hair around the crown, your overall hair texture and color, and your lifestyle and maintenance capacity. From this assessment, they’ll determine whether Crown Fusion alone is appropriate or whether combining it with standard weft extensions on the sides and back would produce the best overall result. There’s no one-size solution — every Crown Fusion installation is customized to the individual client.
The Day of Your Crown Fusion Appointment
A full Crown Fusion installation, including any supplemental weft extensions, takes approximately two to three hours. The process begins with preparing the scalp area where the prosthesis will be attached, then securing the Tension Strap along the attachment perimeter. The Crown Fusion hairpiece is then positioned and secured to the Tension Strap, checked for natural placement and movement, and adjusted as needed. If standard weft extensions are being added around the sides and back, those rows are installed next. The appointment concludes with a blending cut that integrates the Crown Fusion hair, the weft extensions (if any), and your natural hair into a single cohesive style. You leave the salon with a complete, finished result — not a work in progress.
Caring for Crown Fusion Hair Extensions at Home
The at-home care routine for Crown Fusion extensions is similar to standard extensions with a few additional considerations. Brush gently around the perimeter of the prosthesis rather than directly over the center attachment point. When shampooing, use a sulfate-free formula and work it into the scalp around the prosthesis carefully, rinsing thoroughly to prevent buildup at the attachment points. Avoid using heavy oils or conditioning products directly on the scalp under the prosthesis, as this can loosen the attachment over time. Heat styling is fully safe on the Crown Fusion hair since it’s 100% human hair, and you can color it to match your natural hair or incorporate highlights just as you would with your own hair. Sleep on a satin pillowcase and avoid tight styles that put direct tension on the perimeter of the prosthesis.
Crown Fusion as a Long-Term Solution
For clients whose hair loss is stable or progressive, Crown Fusion hair extensions offer a long-term solution that grows with them rather than becoming obsolete as their hair changes. The prosthesis can be resized, repositioned, or replaced as needed to accommodate changes in the extent of thinning. And because the Glamour Locks system is non-damaging, wearing Crown Fusion extensions does not accelerate or worsen the underlying hair loss — something that cannot be said for methods that use adhesive or compression-based attachment. Many Crown Fusion clients have worn the system continuously for several years, maintaining a natural, confident appearance throughout the process of managing hair thinning in a way that feels dignified rather than remedial.
