Wedoo Clip-in hair extensions are the perfect solution for quickly changing your hairstyle—whether you want to add volume, length, or experiment with a new hair color. Below is a detailed guide on the correct way to wear clip-in extensions.
Preparation
- Brush Your Hair: Use a wide-tooth comb to thoroughly detangle your natural hair, removing all knots.
- Gather Tools: Prepare hair clips, a comb, and a mirror, ensuring you work in a well-lit area.
- Prepare the Extensions: Gently brush the clip-in extensions to smooth them out and make sure all clips open and close smoothly.
Step-by-Step Application
Step 1: Section Your Hair
- Starting at the nape of your neck, use the tail of a comb to create a horizontal part.
- Clip the upper section of your hair out of the way to keep the working area clear.
Step 2: Attach the Bottom Weft
- Open the clips on the hair extension piece (usually 2-4 clips per weft).
- Place the extension along the parted section, as close to the roots as possible.
- Press the clips firmly to secure them onto your natural hair.
- Release the clipped-up hair and check for a seamless blend.
Step 3: Layer Additional Wefts
- Move up about 1–1.5 inches (2–4 cm) and create another horizontal part.
- Repeat the attachment process, adding more extensions as needed.
- Typically, 3–5 wefts are required for the most natural, full look.
Step 4: Finish the Top Layer
- The topmost weft should be placed slightly behind the crown of your head.
- Ensure all clips are completely hidden beneath your natural hair.
Final Styling
- Blend with a Comb: Gently brush through your hair to blend the extensions with your natural hair.
- Style as Desired: Curl or straighten as needed to create a cohesive look.
- Check the Hairline: Make sure the front hairline looks natural by lightly pulling out some of your baby hairs to cover the extension edges.
