How to style clip in hair extensions?

Backcombing your roots

Gently backcomb the roots before applying your clip-in hair extensions to ensure a secure fit. To avoid harming the hair, gently backcomb about an inch from the scalp using a natural bristle brush. It’s better to use a small spritz of hairspray at the root to give texture before clipping in your hair extensions for the best hold.

Hide the bottom section

For people with very thick hair or short, blunt haircuts, the nape of the neck hair is more likely to stick out when using hair extensions. Therefore, to hide the hair, we suggest you braid or twist the bottom piece of hair and pin it into a tiny bun. Try to use as few bands or hairpins as possible to prevent a noticeable natural hairline. After that, you can start by attaching your first row of clip-in to this area.

Ponytail hack

Want to get that incredible ponytail? Below is an easy hack:

Separate your hair before applying your hair extensions as usual. The extensions should be applied “upside-down” rather than clipped upright; this will make the style much easier to hold.

Mix the colors

You can combine two hues of hair extensions if your hair has multiple tones or you are in-between shades.

Stack the wefts on top of one another to make extra room for them around your head. This technique can also be used to add volume or create an Ombre look. Use no more than two rows of wefts per section if you are layering them, and clip them to a lot of hair to comfortably support the weight of the clips.

Styling clip-in hair extensions with heat tools

We advise styling your hair extensions once they have been clipped to your hair to achieve the most natural blend possible. As you style your hair, doing this will make it easier for the ends of your natural hair to merge with the extensions.

When using clip-in hair extensions, your natural hair may sometimes be more obvious if it’s straight. Therefore, to create a smooth transition between your hair and hair extensions, let’s style your hair into waves or curls to provide some movement. Always use a heat-protectant spray to prevent damage to your hair. Besides, it is best to pin-curl your hair for a better hold. The simplest styling tool for someone who has never used hair extensions is a curling wand.

Some inspiring styles for clip-in hair extensions

Bouncy blowout

You can get this bouncy blowout without making an appointment at the hair salon. With volumizing shampoo and conditioner and heat protectant spray before using your blow dryer, you can accomplish this statement look at home.

Lob with curtain bangs

If you enjoy the lob, try to make it more special by adding a cute set of curtain bangs to it. Curtain bangs are typically separated along the middle and swept, like curtains, to either side of the face. The angled bangs are longer on the sides and shorter in the center, which draws attention to the eyes.

Half up, half down

The half-up, half-down hairstyle will look good on you regardless of your hair type, color, or length. This style transitions from day to night and is perfect for hiding oily second-day hair. There are also many inventive techniques to enhance eye-catching volume and pull strands away from your face.

1970s shag

This layered haircut naturally adds volume, and maintaining it at home requires little effort. To achieve a voluminous effect, you may either let it air dry or add texturizing spray to the tousled style.

High volume ponytail

Ponytails are one of the best bets for clip-in hair extensions. There are many styles to go with, and this one is a perfect choice to add volume to your hair.

So that you’ve known how to style clip in hair extensions, you can confidently go out with your new look and enjoy your time.
