Prepare your hair before styling

Before styling your hair with clip-in extensions, make sure it's very clean. Start by washing your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Choose items appropriate for your hair type, whether it is dry, oily, or normal. Make careful to massage the shampoo into your scalp and then work it into your hair. 

Apply conditioner to your hair's mid-lengths and ends. Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes to soften and moisturize your hair. Rinse again to remove all of the conditioner.

Next, gently squeeze and massage your hair with a cloth. When your hair is moist, it is time to detangle. Begin by using a broad-toothed comb or a paddle brush with wide bristles. Begin from the ends of your hair and work your way up.

Section your hair

Using your fingers or the end of a rat-tail comb, make a horizontal split across the back of your head about 1.5 inches above the nape of your neck. This split should go from one side of your head to the other, defining the top and bottom regions of your hair.

Then, bind the top piece of your hair with clips or hair ties while combing or brushing the bottom down to ensure it's smooth and ready for the clip-in extensions.

Start attaching clip-in hair extensions

Using one of the smaller clip-in wefts, open the clips by pressing down in the middle. Position the weft along the horizontal splitting line you made previously, making sure it is aligned and fits nicely on your scalp. Once in position, close the clips by pressing down on each end. Make sure they're tightly attached to your hair.

After connecting the first weft, remove part of your natural hair from the top portion. This will provide a layer of hair to hide the clips and make the extensions mix with your natural hair. Repeat the technique until you get the appropriate coverage and volume.

Brush your hair with extensions

To make sure your hair is smooth and free of tangles, you should brush it one last time after completing the clip-in hair extensions. 

Start at the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots with your other hand as you softly brush through the lengths. To avoid loosening or dislodging the extensions, take care not to pull or tug on them.

Brushing should continue until both your hair and the extensions are completely smooth and detangled.

Style as desired

You might need to cut or trim your hair to integrate it with the clip-in extensions for a smooth, natural-looking finish. It's advised to see a professional hairstylist if there are any obvious variations in length or layers so they can assist you in creating a style that is balanced and coherent.

Choose a curling iron or wand whose barrel size corresponds to the sort of curl you wish to achieve if you want to add curls or waves to your hair. Small pieces of hair should be wrapped around the barrel and held for a few seconds before being released. For every desired section, including your natural hair and the extensions, repeat these steps. Remember that using a heat protectant product beforehand is essential.

Final thoughts

In conclusion, appropriate planning and style methods are necessary to achieve a faultless appearance with clip-in hair extensions. Begin by gently detangling your hair after washing and conditioning it with the appropriate ingredients. Make a distinct division between the top and bottom parts of your hair by sectioning it. Make sure the clip-in extensions are firmly in place and blended in with your natural hair by attaching them at the parting line. To get rid of tangles and get a smooth blend, give your hair a thorough brushing. To create a unified and well-balanced look, style your hair how you like, taking into account the possibility of cutting or trimming. I'm confident that after reading this text, you all understand how to style hair with clip-in extensions. Have fun with your lovely style!
