In the world of beauty, enhancing your natural look without damaging your hair could not have been any easier. Thanks to the wonders of clip in hair extensions, you can easily add volume, length and bounce to your hair, whilst maintaining a completely natural and effortless look. In this blog post, we will guide you on how to perfectly incorporate these extensions into your beauty routine and achieve a naturally stunning look.
Choosing the Right Hair Extensions
First and foremost, it's vital to choose the right hair extensions for your hair type and colour. They should match your hair colour as closely as possible to blend seamlessly with your natural locks. Also, consider the texture of the extensions. If your hair is straight, then straight extensions are the way to go. On the other hand, if your hair is wavy or curly, opt for extensions that match this texture.
Installation Technique
There's an art to applying clip-in hair extensions. Start at the nape of your neck, section your hair horizontally, clip the rest of your hair away and then snap open the clips on the extensions. Attach them to your own hair and snap shut. Create another horizontal section above the first and repeat this process, ensuring the clips are secure but not tugging on your natural hair. Once all of the extensions are in place, release the top section of your hair and watch as it effortlessly blends with the extensions.
Maintain a Natural Look
To achieve a more natural look, ensure that your extensions blend well with your natural hair. This might involve styling your hair and extensions together, either by curling, straightening or blow-drying. You could also have a professional hairdresser trim the extensions to blend better with your natural hair style. Another trick is to tease your roots before clipping in the extensions to add more volume and ensure a seamless blend.
Caring for Your Extensions
Just like your natural hair, clip-in hair extensions require maintenance to keep them in top condition. Although they don't need to be washed after every use, try and cleanse them every 15-20 wears or when they start to seem weighed down by product build-up. Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, rinse thoroughly, then leave them to air dry. This will help prolong their lifespan whilst maintaining their natural shine and bounce.
It is also advisable to gently brush your extensions to avoid any tangling or matting, always start from the bottom then slowly work your way up. When not in use, store your extensions in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Clip-in hair extensions are a fantastic, non-permanent way to transform your look. They give you the freedom to play around with various hairstyles and lengths without any commitment. With the right application and care, they can look just as beautiful and natural as your own hair. Now go flaunt that luscious mane!
