What You’ll Need

- Clip-In Hair Extensions: Choose high-quality, cuticle-intact, natural hair extensions that match your hair color and texture! 
- Rat-Tail Comb: For precise sectioning.
- Hair Clips: To keep sections of your hair out of the way.
- Hairspray or Texturizing Spray: To add grip, especially if your hair is fine or freshly washed.
- Mirror: A good mirror setup to see all angles is crucial.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Clip-In Extensions

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair

Start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is too silky, use a texturizing spray or a light hairspray to add some grip. This will help the extensions stay in place and blend more naturally with your hair.

Step 2: Section Your Hair

Using a rat-tail comb, create a horizontal part at the nape of your neck. Clip the rest of your hair up and out of the way. This is where you’ll start applying the extensions.

Step 3: Apply the First Weft

Take your first weft (the widest piece) and open all the clips. Position the weft along the part you’ve just created, close to the scalp. Start by clipping the middle clip first, then move to the sides, ensuring it’s snug and secure.

Step 4: Layer and Blend

Release the next section of your hair, about an inch above the first weft. Repeat the process, working your way up your head. For the sides, use smaller wefts to blend with the natural layers of your hair.

Step 5: Final Touches

Once all the wefts are in place, gently brush through your hair to blend the extensions with your natural locks. Style as desired—whether you’re going for loose curls, a sleek straight look, or a voluminous ponytail.

Tips for a Flawless Application

- Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get the perfect placement. With practice, applying clip-in extensions will become second nature.
- Avoid Over-Clipping: Too many wefts can make your hair look bulky. Stick to the recommended number for a natural look.
