What are Clip In Hair Extensions?
Clip-In Hair Extensions Guide
Clip-in extensions come in wefts—strips of hair with small clips sewn onto the base. These clips snap open and closed, allowing you to secure them to your natural hair.
How to Apply Clip-In Extensions
Sectioning the Hair – Part your hair horizontally and clip the top layers out of the way.
Attaching the Wefts – Open the clips, place them close to the roots of your natural hair, and snap them shut.
Blending – Once all wefts are secured, release the top layers of your hair and style as desired.
Benefits of Clip-In Hair Extensions
- Easy to Use – No salon visit required; you can apply and remove them at home.
- Temporary & Damage-Free – Unlike permanent extensions, clip-ins don't damage your natural hair.
- Versatile Styling – Great for adding length, volume, or experimenting with color without commitment.
- Reusable – High-quality clip-ins can last months or even years with proper care.
Types of Hair Used in Clip-Ins
Clip-in extensions can be made from:
- Human Hair – The most natural-looking and durable; can be styled with heat tools.
- Synthetic Hair – More affordable but less versatile (can't be heat-styled).
- Heat-Friendly Synthetic – A mid-range option that allows limited heat styling.
How to Choose the Right Clip-In Extensions
- Match Your Hair Color & Texture – For a seamless blend, choose extensions that closely resemble your natural hair.
- Consider Length & Volume – Decide whether you want subtle volume or dramatic length.
- Check Clip Quality – Sturdy clips prevent slipping and damage.
