Do you want to feel the luxury of long, silky hair yet would prefer not to pay for permanent hair extensions? Most women prefer to apply clip in hair extensions because they don't have to pay for expensive salon sessions just to have beautiful long hair. The best part is they can apply clip in hair extensions even in the privacy and comfort of their homes. All it takes is a little bit of practice, and you can also create the same professional look that most expensive hair salons offer.

The best way to apply clip in hair extensions is to make sure you are organized before you begin and that you have a plan or guide to follow. The main steps for applying your clip in hair extensions can be categorized into preparing your extensions, followed by preparing your hair and then the application and styling of your clip in hair extensions.

Here's an easy guide you can follow in applying clip in hair extensions. Choose a working area big enough for the things you will use - large clips to gather and hold your hair, a rat-tail comb for parting your hair in sections and a wide-tooth comb for combing the hair extension. Keep other tools and supplies handy such as a hair spray, a curling iron or a hair strengthener. Before you apply clip in hair extensions, make sure they are clean and that there are no tangles or loose hair. Practice opening the clips on the hair extensions to make sure they work. Remember, you'll be working behind your head so you may not be able to see how they work properly.

After making sure your clip in hair extensions work, prepare your own hair to make sure that your real hair and the extensions will blend well together. Comb through the tangles on your hair, and make sure that your hair is clean before you apply clip in hair extensions. Apply clip in hair extensions starting from the bottom part of your scalp and work your way going upwards. Make a straight line using a rat-tail comb and clip all the hair above this line to keep them out of the way. If your hair is too smooth that the clip can't hold onto the air, you can tease the hair below the line you created to give it some friction. To apply clip in hair extensions, open all the clips on the piece and using the middle clip first, slide onto the root of the hair below the line that you made. Press down the sides of the clip to secure the hair extension. Then repeat the procedure with the outer clips. Follow the straight line and do not apply clip in hair extensions above this line. Once the first piece is fastened, make another straight line about one inch on top of the first line. Again, tie up all the hair above the new line and do the same steps as above.

After having prepared your hair and your clip in hair extensions, you are now ready to start applying the pieces one at a time. Open all the clips on the piece and attach the middle clip first so the piece will be centered. Slide the clip down onto the root of the hair that is below the part you have made. Press close the clip by pressing down on the sides of the clip. Once the center ones have been done, repeat for the outer clips. Make sure that the line of the hair is followed and that you do not apply the clips to the hair above the part. Once you have finished the first piece, release the hair immediately above the last part and create a new straight line approximately one inch above the previous line. Tie up all hair above this new line so it is out of the way and repeat the process. Tease or back- comb your own hair before you apply the piece if it is required. Repeat until all the pieces are applied and make sure they are evenly distributed for a natural look. Leave a layer of your own hair to cover the clip in hair extensions so the clips are not exposed. Comb through all of your hair and your new hair with a wide tooth comb to blend in together. Once you are happy with the location of all the pieces, you may need to trim the hair to your desired length or also cut to make it blend in with any layers your normal hair may have, or to make it more even. We recommend a hairdresser do this for you. You can now style your hair however you like. There are a million and one ways to style and groom your clip in hair extensions! However, please make sure you use blow dryers and curling irons on a LOW setting and always test the temperature on one of the small clip-in pieces as heat settings do vary between different brands of appliances. When using a curling iron, we recommend you use a clipless design curling iron so the hair does not get caught and break.
