Clip-in hair extensions are gaining more popularity day by day. The advantages of excellent quality clip-in extensions are far too many. In addition, using the extension is also simple and easy with adequate instructions and practice.
What’s even more impressive is that these extensions are available in different styles, brands, lengths, and weights of extensions. So, while purchasing a hair extension, make sure that it matches your natural hair texture and color. Generally, the clip-in hair extension is available in lengths from 14 inches to 22 inches, and the number of pieces can range from anywhere between six to ten, depending on the brand you buy.
You may also have to adjust the application for the number of wefts, the texture, and the length of your natural hair. If your hair is naturally thin, you may not need to use all the wefts, and similarly, if you have thicker hair, you may require additional wefts to get a natural appearance. Clip-in extensions that are high in quality also come with a set of one or two strips for testing that doesn’t have any clips attached to them. These are perfect for trying out hair dye if you decide to go for another color of your extensions, allowing them to match your natural hair color better.
Types Of Hair ExtensionÂ
Hair extensions can be semi-permanent, permanent, or even temporary. Temporary hair is unlikely to cause damage to your hair. However, you can only use them for a day or some hours.Â
Semi-permanent hair extensions like a micro link or tape-in extension are also less likely to cause any damage to your hair. You can use these for the time duration of two months.Â
You can use permanent ones for up to six months, and while the risk of any damage is minimal, they can still bring some damage to the roots of your hair.
It is also important to note that the typical cost includes application cost and the hair extension cost. The lifespan of a hair extension refers to the wear time duration. Most kinds of hair extensions also require regular visits to a hairdresser for their maintenance.
How To Clip Your Hair Extensions
1st StepÂ
Begin by making sure that your natural hair is tangle-free as well as dry. Lay the extension down on a flat and clean surface while ensuring no tangles.
Position your fingers on either side of the hairline around an inch or so below your ears. Then separate your hairs at this position and place the top layer into a clip or ponytail. Generally, hair extensions come along with two to three wefts for the rear of your hair, as these are the most extended pieces.
Take the smallest weft from the set and clip it into position onto your hairline. It is ideal to begin at the rear of your head with the middle clip and make sure to get as near to the roots as you can. If you are worried about the extensions falling out or have fine hair, tease the sections of your hair that you would be attaching clips to, and add some hairspray. This can be a necessary step if you have virgin hair.
Once the flip clip is secure, then work on the side clips. As near your face as you can and make sure that there is no bunching down the weft.Â
