Hair can be a fickle thing. We choose a hairstyle that we generally like, but sometimes we really need longer or more voluminous hair for a particular style—especially when it’s a special occasion. Here’s how to fake the looks with the use of clip-in hair extensions.

Once you have decided on the length and color of your hair extensions, the next step is learning how to put them into your hair properly. With practice, this step will take less and less time, but it can be a bit tricky at first. Hopefully, the hair extensions you have purchased have sewn on clips; if not, you’ll need to buy the clips and get to sewing them on yourself!

Assuming they are ready to clip in, lay out your extensions on a flat surface and group the sizes together they vary in length depending on the position they need to be clipped onto your head.

Part your virgin hair bundles with closure as normal, then section off hair around the skull from your parting down to each ear. Use clips to hold the sections in place. For the back, section the hair from the bottom up and across the hair in straight lines.

Clip each hair extension in place as you go prongs face down. Cover each clipped extension with a layer of hair from above it, so that all the clips are covered well.

At first, it might be a good idea to enlist the help of a friend to get to those hard to reach back parts of your head and make sure you are placing and clipping the extensions in straight lines.

Once you have all the clips in place and your own hair down, run your fingers through your hair such as Peruvian curly virgin hair to make it fall naturally don’t use a brush, in case you drag the clips out of place.

One of the main reasons women opt for clip-in hair extensions is for a temporary solution to fill out a hairstyle or to use long extensions for short-term ‘hair growth’.

They are the perfect way to thicken up your locks for volume or for those added few inches. What’s more, the clip-in option means that you can change your hairstyle and length with your mood.

A more permanent solution—using bonds, for example—can damage fine hair if you don’t take the time to care for your extensions properly. They are also quite pricey and take hours to fit, plus the added appointments to alter and tighten them.

Clip-in hair extensions are much cheaper and a quick-fix solution. Often, people start out with clip-in extensions to test whether or not they like the extra volume/length before opting for more expensive, longer-lasting extensions.
