Step-by-Step: Learn to Apply Your Clip-In Extensions

First, keep in mind that these steps depend on two key factors:

• First: the amount of hair you will apply.
• Second: the layers of the extensions.

For our example, we’ll use extensions with 2-3 medium layers. We’ll place them on the nape, 1 wide layer from ear to ear, and the smaller ones on the sides of your hair.

Step 1: Divide Your Hair

Divide your hair into as many sections as the layers of extensions you have.

At the nape, make a straight line to separate the lower section of your hair.

🪮 You can use a metal tail comb for assistance. It should look like this:

Step 2: Secure the Clips

After sectioning your hair, tease each section (using a brush) at the top—from root to mid-length—to help the clips grip better.

Example:

Once teased, start clipping in your extensions. For extra hold, use small hair ties (like those for mini braids).

We recommend making small ponytails on each section where the clips will go. Examples:

Clip each extension to a section

Step 3: Layer Placement

Start with the wide layer (3+ clips). Place the central clips in the middle of your section, then close the clips with gentle twists. Place the remaining clips at the ends.

Step 4: Repeat on Mid-Section

Now repeat the process from the nape up. Layers get wider with more clips.

Step 5: Final Strip for Volume

Place the central clips first, then the side clips. This strip adds volume and hides your natural cut. Leave a top layer of your own hair to conceal extensions.

Step 6: Style with Straightener or Curler

Blend the extensions with your hair by trimming layers and styling as desired. Straighten or curl your hair including the extensions. Check the stunning final result:
