Preparing Your Clip-ins for Installation

Adding clip-in hair extensions to your hair requires preparation and planning for the best results. When you properly prepare your clip-ins for installation your hair is more likely to blend seamlessly with your own natural hairstyle. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Your clip-ins will come in sections and include up to 7 wefts (can include up to 4 clip-ins).
2. Prior to adding clip-ins to your hair, co-wash them and let them air dry.
3. Brush each clip-in gently. Begin at the tips and work your way to the clip in.
4. Curl or separate your natural clip-in hair extensions to match your hair or straighten it. Remember to apply a heat protectant before using heat on your clip-ins.

How to Install Your Clip-ins

Installing clip-ins is simple and straight forward. Keep in mind that your clip-ins may take a while to style properly to achieve the look you desire and seamless blend. For the most natural look install your clip-ins at least 1 inch from the hairline.  

1. Part your hair into sections or in the place or area of your hair you want to add the clip-in.
2. Choose one of your prepared clip-in wefts.
3. Locate your part.
4. Press open the comb-like clips on your weft.
5. Position the weft right over the part and slide the combs into your hair, as close to the roots as possible, and press them shut. (If you're installing more than one clip-in begin with the middle clip first, and then add the clip-ins to the sides.
6. Repeat until you desired style is achieved.
