How to Install Hair Extensions

Adding hair extensions is a fantastic way to add length, volume, and versatility to your hairstyle. Whether you're looking to enhance your natural hair or experiment with a new look, knowing how to properly put in hair extensions is essential. Follow these step-by-step instructions to achieve a flawless look.

1. Prepare Your Hair and Extensions

Start by brushing your hair to remove any knots or tangles. If you're using clip-in extensions, lay them out and arrange them in the order you'll be applying them. If you're using tape-in or sew-in extensions, make sure they're clean and ready to be installed.

2. Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into sections using clips or hair ties. Create a horizontal part about an inch above the nape of your neck and clip the rest of your hair out of the way. This will be where you start attaching the extensions.

4. Install Clip-In Extensions:

If you're using clip-in extensions, begin by opening the clips on each weft. Starting from the bottom section of your hair, attach the clips close to the roots, making sure they are secure. Gradually work your way up, adding more wefts and blending them with your natural hair. Once all the clip-in extensions are in place, gently comb through the hair to ensure a seamless integration.

 

5. Apply Tape-In Extensions:

For tape-in extensions, start by removing the protective backing from one tape weft. Place it underneath a thin horizontal section of your natural hair, close to the root, and press it firmly to secure. Take another tape weft and sandwich it above the first weft, securing the extension and your natural hair in between. Repeat this process, working your way up the sections, ensuring the extensions are evenly distributed.

 

6. Sew-In Extensions:

To install sew-in extensions, create small cornrow braids along your scalp, starting from the bottom section of your hair. Sew the wefts of extensions onto the cornrows using a curved needle and thread, ensuring they are tightly secured. Continue braiding and sewing until all the extensions are attached. For added security, you can use a hair net or cap to cover the braids before sewing on the wefts.

 

7. Bonded Extensions:

Bonded extensions require professional application. It involves attaching individual hair strands to your natural hair using keratin glue or a heat fusion method. Seek assistance from a hairstylist experienced in installing bonded extensions to ensure a safe and proper application.

 

8. Blending and Styling:

Once the extensions are installed, blend them with your natural hair using a brush or comb. Style your hair as desired, whether it's straightening, curling, or creating an updo. Be mindful of heat protectants and use styling tools on a lower heat setting to prevent damage to both your natural hair and the extensions.

 

9. Maintenance and Care:

To maintain the longevity of your hair extensions, follow a regular maintenance routine. Avoid excessive heat styling, use gentle hair care products, and brush your hair extensions regularly with a wide-toothed comb or a brush designed for extensions. Follow any additional care instructions provided by the manufacturer or hairstylist.

With these simple steps, you can achieve beautiful, long-lasting hair extensions that seamlessly blend with your natural hair. Whether you're getting ready for a special occasion or just want to switch up your look, knowing how to put in hair extensions will give you the confidence to experiment with different styles and textures.

Remember to follow any care instructions provided with your extensions to keep them looking their best for as long as possible. Happy styling!
