What You Will Need:
- Hair extensions
- Clips
- Thread
- Needle
- Scissors
Step 1: Prepare your hair extensions
Start by preparing your hair extensions. Ensure they are clean, dry, and free from any tangles. If needed, gently comb through them to remove any knots.
Step 2: Measure and cut the extensions
Take one of your hair extensions and place it against the back of your head. Measure the length you desire and mark it with a clip. Using scissors, carefully cut the extension to your desired length.
Step 3: Sew the clip onto the extension
Thread your needle and tie a knot at the end. Take a clip and position it on the top weft of your extension, ensuring the teeth of the clip are facing inwards towards the extension. Sew the clip onto the weft, securing it in place. Repeat this process for the remaining clips and extensions.
Step 4: Section your hair
Part your hair horizontally, creating a section where you want to attach the extension. Use a comb to ensure the section is neat and tidy.
Step 5: Open the clip
Gently open the clip by pressing down on the center. Hold it open while you position it at the root of the sectioned hair, as close to the scalp as possible.
Step 6: Secure the clip
Once the clip is in the desired position, release it to allow it to grip onto your natural hair. Ensure the clip is securely fastened by giving it a gentle tug.
Step 7: Blend and style
Blend the extension with your natural hair by gently combing and styling them together. This will create a seamless look and ensure the extensions are well hidden.
Step 8: Repeat for other sections
Continue the process by releasing another section of hair, attaching the extensions with clips, and blending them in. Repeat until all the desired sections are complete.
Tips for Maintenance:
- Avoid excessive heat styling to prolong the lifespan of your extensions.
- Take extra care when brushing near the attachment point to avoid tugging on your natural hair.
- Remove the extensions before going to sleep or participating in water activities.
- Regularly clean and condition your extensions to keep them looking fresh and shiny.
By following these steps and taking proper care of your extensions, you can enjoy beautiful and natural-looking hair with added volume and length. Say goodbye to bad hair days and hello to luscious locks!
