How To Apply Clip-in Hair Extensions
Brushing
Use a soft brush with a spritz of hairspray and brush over your real hair and the extensions as you style. We recommend brushes designed for hair extensions the Beauty Works Boar Bristle brush as it polishes and glides over all types of hair extensions, avoid nylon or metal pins that can damage the hair cuticles and snag on the extensions.
Section
Use a tail comb to make a clean sectioning line from ear to ear, straight across the back of head and secure the top half of your own hair up. repeat this with each weft piece.
Backcomb Roots
Do you have trouble with your hair extensions slipping? Before you apply each clip, backcomb each section at the root, spritz with some hairspray before clipping the extensions into place. This will give your hair that much needed texture to give the clips something to grab onto, making sure your hair extensions stay in place securely all day.
Application
Begin by brushing your own hair thoroughly using a soft paddle brush to get rid of any tangles. Depending on the hair set you have purchased will determine how many wefts pieces you get in each set. However, always start at the nape of the neck using the smallest weft and work your way around the hairline adding in the wefts you desire. Use the longer wefts for the middle section of your hair. Ensure there a re no bumps in the weft by pulling them tight as you're clipping them in the middle section.
Styling
Once you have applied all the wefts, you can release your own hair and brush the hair through to blend. You can curl your extensions first then curl the extensions and your own hair together, they'll blend seamlessly - you'll barely be able to tell them apart. A waved style is the best way to conceal the hair extensions as the extra texture makes blending much easier than with straight hair.

Cutting and Blending
