Steps on How to Apply Clip Hair Extensions

STEP 1. Before you start to place each clip into the hair, have a little practice at how they function and check that each one is working. If you find a bad pea in the pod it would be wise to return them and get an exchange. To open and close the snapping clips you must apply light pressure with your thumbs at either end. Go through all that you intend on using and have them all open before you begin.

STEP 2. Now you will need to section the hair into three parts – the left-side, right-side and the back. Use some jaw clips to keep the left and right sections out of the way – we will concentrate first on the back portion.

STEP 3. Now, locate the nape of the neck – this is the area level with the top of your ears. Using a fine-toothed comb, pull the hair from the top of one ear to the next – the hair should separate leaving you with a horizontal line. The hairs that are above the line should be brought forward, in the direction of your face and secured out of the way.

STEP 4. In your kit should be a hair extension that is the same width as this part. Apply the center clip to the root of the hair and snap into place only when you feel that the teeth of the clip have taken hold of your natural hair. If it feels loose, keep trying until it is secure. Continue the same process with the outer clips, snapping them into place with a firm grip. At this point, mingle your natural hair with the extension by brushing – but be very gentle!

STEP 5. Take down the hair that you clipped up previously from the back section. Like before, use the comb to form another horizontal line about an inch above the last one. Your natural hair will now fall over the first extension – blend the two together with your fingers or a brush. Once again, clip forward the hair above the new line.

STEP 6. Now you will continue as you did with the first. Keep moving up the back of your head until there is no more natural hair to cover the clips. Always check that each clip is fixed well and tease the natural hair so that it all blends in together and the clips cannot be seen.

STEP 7. The exact same method can be used when applying the clips to the left and right side of the face, beginning level with the tops of the ears. There you go – you should be finished! When brushing always be careful not to pull on the clips – if you can be gentle arrange hairs with the fingers this might be better.

Clip-on Extensions are great for temporary use – parties and the like, but it is certainly a good idea to remove them before crashing into bed. To remove, simply open the clips before pulling them from the hair to avoid any damage. Have fun with your hair – if you followed the guidelines well, nobody will be able to reveal your secret!
