All About Clip On Extensions

Clip on hair extensions are a fantastic way to enter the world of hair extensions. If you're a bit nervous about making the plunge and having permanent extensions added, then go for clip ons. That way to can decide if you can handle all that extra weight on your head.

Clip ins are also ideal for those girls who just want amazing hair for that special occasion such as a wedding, 21st birthday or an important business meeting. Clip them in for the occasion, then take them out easily again that night. It only takes a few minutes to add a full head of clip on wefts so that can bea real bonus.

In the next section, I'll go through the steps for adding hair extensions. It is really quite simple but I still have clients asking me how to add their clip ons so I'll go through the steps now.

Step-By-Step Instuctions

When you buy your clip ons, you can either buy a simgle weft or a complete pack with several wefts to give you a full head. Single wefts are useful to just give you a bit of extra volume. As you are only attaching one weft I won't dicuss adding a single weft in these instructions.

When you buy a complete pack, you will receive several wefts in one pack, usually different widths. The packs that I supply consist of 8 wefts: 1x 8" wide, 2x 6" wide, 3x 4" wide, 2x 2" wide. I will provide instructions here based on the packs that I supply, but you can easily make a adjust these instructions to suit your own pack of clip ons.

Step 1: Create a horizontal part with a tail comb about 1 inch above the nape of the neck. Secure the loose hair with a clip. Place two 4" wefts along the hairline and secure the clips.

Step 2: Create a horizontal part 1" above the first weft and add the 8" weft.

Step 3: Create a horizontal part 1" above the previous weft and add the two 6" wefts beside each other.

Step 4: Create a horizontal part 1" above the previous wefts and add the remaining 4" weft.

Step 5: Add the 1.5" wefts to the side of your head to frame the face.

Please remember: Your hair type and style is unique. The above instructions are a suggestion only. We suggest you experiment with the weft placement. Some users may only need to add half the wefts to create a stunning new look with added length and volume.

I love these because they just enhance what you have. Sort of like a push up braw or lash mascara for the hair!.
So it is just a build up of her own hair. She bought it, right? They key with the color is to try not to EXACTLY match the color to your own but to do one shade or two off with lightness or darkness. Just make sure the tone is similliar. THis looks like a highlight and will accentuate any curl patterns. I love coloring extensions.
