Clip-in Extensions Explained

We get that nowadays there are A LOT of different types of hair extensions out there, so naturally it can get a bit confusing, but Beauty Works have been in the hair game a long time. We’re here to offer some of our expert advice to hopefully clear any confusion that you may have about clip in hair extensions.

Firstly, what are clip in hair extensions?

Beauty Works clip-in hair extensions are ready-to-wear hair extensions that can give you longer and thicker hair in minutes. All of our extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair, which is the highest quality of real human hair available on the market. Clip-ins can be washed, heat styled and worn like your own hair, meaning that they’re truly versatile. You can expect a seamless blend into your own hair, with no visible signs of extensions. Beauty Works Award Winning clip-in extensions also feature double extra-thick wefts, that have been specifically designed to seamlessly fit your head.

What does 100% Real Human Remy Hair mean?

100% Real Remy Human hair is basically the best of the best when it comes to hair extensions. ‘Remy’ refers to hair where the cuticle is left intact and all facing the same direction, so the hair looks as healthy and shiny as possible. This is important, because not all human hair is remy hair. An added bonus is that Remy hair remains tangle free for its life span and blends seamlessly into natural hair.

How long do clip-in extensions last?

Clip in hair extensions can last up to 12 months if you take care of them and use the correct aftercare. The amount of time your clip in hair extensions last can vary on how much you wear them, some people wear them a few times a week and some people only use them for special occasions. 100% Remy cuticle human hair retains it's natural shine throughout it's lifetime, allowing the clip in hair extensions to remain tangle-free.

Can I Sleep With Hair Extensions?

We recommend to not sleep with clip-in hair extensions in as it would be uncomfortable for you and could damage both your hair extensions and natural hair. Our clip-in extensions have been designed to easily clip in and out, so you can take them out quickly before going to sleep!

How do you colour match clip-in hair extensions?

A top tip for choosing the right colour of hair extensions is to match your hair colour closest to the mid lengths to ends of the hair, instead of the root. Our 100% Remy Human hair is hand coloured, which adds depth to every set. This means you're more likely to get a natural blend. Beauty Works also offer colour swatches, so you can try before you buy.

How do I know what length to choose?

When choosing hair extensions to increase the length of your hair, always stay within approximately four to six inches of your natural hair length for the most realistic blend. If you want to add volume rather than length, choose a hair length that's similar to your own hair. Here's the recommended guide to choosing the perfect set.

Length 16” is our shortest set and tends to sit just below the shoulders, perfect for adding in volume to limp looking locks. This length is also ideal for concealing broken or damaged natural hair. This length is low maintenance and great for first time hair extension users. Available in Deluxe Clip-In's with 25+ shades to choose from. 

Length 18” is our most popular length. This super versatile length sits just below the chest and is great if you’re looking to add length or volume. Available in both Deluxe Sets and Double Hair Sets, you can decide how thick and full you want to go. This length is low maintenance and great for first time hair extension users looking to improve the overall appearance of their hair.

Length 20” has a natural look yet still provides a wow factor and creates serious hair transformations. This hair length sits midway down the back and can give you both volume and length. With this length you can conceal finer hair types and give the illusion of fuller, healthier hair. Available in both Deluxe sets and Double Hair Sets, you can decide how thick and full you want to go.

Length 22” is one of our longer length clip-in hair extensions that sits at the bottom of the back on most users. This hair length creates a transformation for length lovers and works best if your natural hair is mid-length to long. A 22" Double Hair Set will transform your strands from thin and limp to lush and long.

Length 26” is our longest hair length. This waist grazing length is head turning and requires longer styling time than shorter hair lengths. Ideal for users with naturally longer hair that require a thicker or longer appearance, this length sits above the hip and offers full coverage. Available in Double Hair Set Clip-In's with 20+ shades to choose from.
