Introduction
Adding hair extensions can instantly transform your look by adding length, volume, and even color to your natural hair. Hair extensions come in various types, and one of the easiest and quickest methods to apply them is by using hair extension clips. In this article, we will guide you through the steps of putting in a hair extension clip.
Materials Needed
- 1 or more hair extension clips
- Rat-tail comb
- Hair clips
- Hairspray (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Before putting in the hair extension clip, make sure your hair is clean and free of tangles. Use a rat-tail comb to part your hair where you want to clip in the extension. You may also tease the roots of your hair slightly to create a more secure anchor for the clip.
Step 2: Open the Clip
Take the hair extension clip and open the clips by pressing down on the sides. Make sure the teeth of the clip are facing away from your scalp to avoid any discomfort when attaching the extension.
Step 3: Attach the Clip
Place the open clip on the parted section of your hair close to the roots. Snap the clip shut by pressing down on the sides. You should feel a slight “snap” or “click” when the clip is securely attached to your hair. Repeat the process with additional clips if you are using more than one extension.
Step 4: Blend and Style
Once the clip-in extensions are in place, use a comb or your fingers to blend your natural hair with the extensions. You may also use hairspray to set the style and ensure a seamless blend between your natural hair and the extensions.
Tips for a Natural Look
- Choose the right color: Select a hair extension shade that closely matches your natural hair color for a seamless blend.
- Adjust the placement: Experiment with the placement of the extensions to find the most natural-looking position.
- Trim and style: Trim the extensions to match the length and style of your natural hair for a cohesive look.
- Care for your extensions: Follow maintenance instructions to keep your extensions looking fresh and natural.
